#it has its own zipcode

Good googly moogly that thang is juicy

Bigger on the inside

Okay, but, Magnus' wardrobe should be like the Tardis. Like, it's just a wardrobe, like you find in any home. But then you open the door and you step into a whole freaking pocket dimension with rows and rows of clothes and shoes and accesories. Alec needs a freaking map to navigate it. He doesn't dare to wander further into it. His clothes are hung neatly right in front of the wardrobe in easy reach. That one time Magnus asked him to please grab that red shirt he bought when they were in Thailand two weeks ago, Alec had visions of being lost in the closet for days in search of the shirt, and quickly distracted Magnus by pulling him into the bed and taking his clothes off.

"Jo, how're you doing?"

I'm glad you asked, person I made up to use as an excuse to rant!

Remember when I asked if anyone knew where I could still find some 3DS covers? I ordered one! One I really liked even! Shipping and import are fine, and soon I get the tracking number. Everything's fine.

Few days later tracking says my package has arrived at the inward office, is in customs, and soon off to continue its delivery journey. Everything's fine.

Two days later tracking says it's back in customs at the same inward office, and for several days nothing changes. I get nervous.

I decide to call the office via the number they show on their website. An automated response greets me: "This line is unmanned, please call [Other Number]."

I call Other Number. Another automated line greets me. "Are you calling for tracking?" Yes. "Are you the sender?" No. "Please speak the tracking number." [Tracking Number]. "Please speak the zipcode of the recipient." [Zipcode]. "We cannot give you tracking information at this time. Please call back during office hours."

THEN WHY MAKE ME GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS IF I CAN'T GET ANY INFORMATION CURRENTLY ANYWAY--

It's fine, this is fine. I get an idea and check the tracking number via the national tracking service instead of the one I got linked with my order. "Expected arrival September 4th."

Okay. I will give it until then and if it doesn't arrive on that day, I will call every number I can find until I get someone who can actually tell me ANYTHING about my package's status.

It does arrive on September 4th! I still need to pay customs (16,44€) to receive it but that's fine, I expected that. At least it's here. The stress from not knowing is over.

I get my 3DS and my screwdriver, and unpack the cover.

I unscrew my 3DS' back cover and one of its screws snaps off. That's fine, the cover has its own. I put the new cover onto the handheld and get ready to screw it on.

...

It sure is a cover for the New 3DS. But I have a New 3DS XL. I silently turn to my brother and hand him the cover instead. I can't use it but he does have a base New 3DS. I didn't check when I ordered the cover, this is on me. My mood drops but what happened has happened, nothing I can do about it anymore.

I go to screw the old cover back on, one screw is better than none. I notice the other screw is now also gone. With a heavy sigh I click the cover in place and hope it will hold.

Hoping to distract myself with absolutely anything I decide to read the receipt I received for the payment of customs. It says 10,44€.

The whole order, including customs, cost me 70+€. And 6€ of those the postman took for themselves. And I can't even use the cover. I spent 70+€ for effectively nothing.

So that's how my day is going! Hope you guys are doing better!

Okay there are a couple crucial inaccuracies in this fact check which make believe the conclusion that it arrives at is incorrect. Also, just in general, do not trust any fact check that doesn't link its sources.

First off, the fact check casts doubt at a teenager's ability to donate money to ActBlue, given that most financial services platforms do not allow teenagers on them. However, that makes it improbable but not impossible. Speaking from personal experience, I worked jobs as a teenager that utilized direct deposit to pay me. The bank account they deposited into had to be set up by my father, and he had ultimate control over it, but it was still a bank account in my name, and as such, I had a debit card as a teenager. It is not unfeasible to imagine that Thomas Crooks the shooter made a donation to ActBlue as a teenager using a debit card linked to a parent-controlled bank account.

Second off, and honestly this is the most important part, the fact check claims multiple times that Thomas Crooks the shooter is from Bethel, PA. I have yet to find any news articles that state that, but I have found two articles that claim that Thomas Crooks the shooter is from Bethel Park, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh. Understandable mistake to make, but still a crucial one.

Finally, I also tracked down the FEC record of the aforementioned donation and the Anywho dot com listing of Thomas Crooks mentioned in the fact check. In general, I do not trust websites like Anywho, as they are mostly just outlets for scraped public data that are never checked for accuracy. I have found my own name on similar websites that say that I used to live in Wilmington, NC (I did not). But I digress. Here is the FEC record of Thomas Crooks's contribution to ActBlue:

And here is the entry for a 52-year-old Thomas Crooks on Anywho dot com:

As you can see, the two addresses do not match up between the Thomas Crooks that contributed $15 to ActBlue and the Thomas Crooks that the fact check claims made this donation. This could mean that Thomas A Crooks made the donation while living at 2506 Milford Dr and then later moved to 5144 Butler St. However, this is not the case. 5144 Butler St is an address on the northeast side of Pittsburgh, but 2506 Milford Dr is not an address within Pittsburgh proper. Additionally, the zipcode 15102 does not include any of Pittsburgh proper. But you know where there IS a 2506 Milford Dr in the 15102 zipcode?

All of these things lead me to believe that Thomas Crooks the shooter did indeed make the aforementioned $15 donation to ActBlue, and somewhere along the line, someone put down "Pittsburgh" instead of "Bethel Park" for the donor's mailing address.

EDIT: Apparently the person who posted the fact check has posted a correction regarding the confusion of Bethel with Bethel Park. However, based on what I've outlined above, I still do believe that it is probable that the Thomas Crooks who made the ActBlue donation and the Thomas Crooks who made an attempt on Trump's life are the same Thomas Crooks.

Good news for American minorities: shooter was white

[littlecomets-littleitaly]

is there a reason why no one has common sense anymore?

rant under cut

this is about online customer service.

it is my first day back after a 10 day vacation. i am beyond burnt out, i took the vacation time all in one go to hope it would help, but it did not.

first of all, it costs 0 to be neutral to customer service agents. im not asking for "hello! thank you so much for your help! i want to rate you 1000/10 on your survey!" all i am asking for is that you give me more than 20 seconds to type out a reply to you, and for you to realize i am a human being. belittling me does not get you above and beyond service, it gets you flagged no more compensation, and piss poor customer service.

also Stop Typing Like This. You Aren't Quirky, This Is Hard To Read, And It Doubles How Long It Takes You To Type. same with emojis. I don't 🚫 really care 🤷‍♀️ that you want 🎁 free merch 🛍👠👗🧢 because your package 📦 was delivered 🚛 while it was raining ☔️ and the box got wet 🌊.

second of all, just give the agents the info they ask for. no more, no less.

if you tell me youre pretty sure your package was stolen, that can and will be used to deny your claim.

if i tell you that the address you just provided me was not used on the order, giving me the same address four more times does not help either of us.

if i ask you to clarify what package you are missing and you say "the first one", that unfortunately, tells me nothing.

if you order more than one of the same item in a different colorway or size, telling me the items name does not actually tell me what item you are referring to.

if i ask for six pieces of information, each on their own line break to make it clear exactly what im asking for, i should be getting those 6 pieces of information back from you. not 4 and two half pieces of information. i asked for your full name, that means first and last. i asked for your complete address, not just the city, state and zipcode. this is for your security. not to be malicious.

this especially goes for inventory inquiries. i work for a fashion retailer as online chat. we aren't in store. we aren't local to you. everything on our website has like 3+ different tiers of sizing, hundreds of colors, and hell, even hundreds of design variations within the same model. not to mention hundreds of store locations. thousands even.

all i ask for is product number, size, and a complete store address. i never get all three in one go.

"ugg slipper in six" the fluff yeahs? the tasmans? the nuemels? what color, since theres 10+ each for each model above. size 6? 6 womens? 6 grade school? what store? we have 800 under one banner alone?

"nike tech fleece black large" the hoodie, the sweatshirt, the half zip, the full zip, the joggers, or the shorts? which version of the black? theres all black, theres black with white logos, theres black with red logos, theres black with white screen printing? size large? large what? large womens, large mens, large grade school, large toddler? what store?

"timberland 6 inch black at inkster" aight. 6 inch what? the field boots? the waterproof? do you want iridescent black, sparkly black, black with red laces, black with black laces, all black? what store? theres two inksters, and theyre 9 hours apart.

do you know what answers all those questions? giving the product number, size and a complete store address.

if you give a product number, that tells me EXACTLY what item you want. so instead of ugg slipper size 6, instead it tells me ugg tasman in color chestnut in womens sizes. so the size 6 is no longer a guess between women's and kids sizes, since the gender size is tied directly into the product number. its no longer a guess to what color, because the color is tied directly into the product number. and obviously, if you give me a complete address, its no longer a guess if you want inkster in michigan, or inkster in new jersey.

again, im not asking for this information because i dont want to do my job. i am asking for this information because only you know the exact item you want, in the exact size that you want at the exact store you want. why would you want me to play 20 questions to have me guess if the item i picked out for you is correct, when you can give me the correct item from the get go.

third of all, i should not have to repeat the same questions ive already asked you multiple times in a row. nor should i have to repeat the same information i have already given to you because you didnt read my message in the first place.

if im collecting information for an IT ticket, or to even just access your order, and you do not have a piece of information that i need, just say that. "i dont have x piece of information." "i did not receive my order number so I cannot provide it" "i do not have wifi at home, so I cannot provide my wifi IP address"

do not string me along, having to ask you the same question 40 times in a row because you just dont have the common sense to say "i dont have that"

or when people give me bits and pieces of information, and when i ask for the rest they get mad "well i gave it all to you." no you didnt. scroll up to my last message. all 6 pieces i need are clearly outlined along with directions on how to find each piece of information. i asked for 6 pieces of information, and you only given me the word "iphone" and a diatribe on how much you hate biden.

which leads into customer not reading my responses. 9/10 times my response covers everything you currently need to know, and everything to expect in the future, so you dont have to contact back and ask again.

but instead, customers will read say the first 6 words of your reply, and skip the rest, or skim the rest and create their own narrative.

"why was my order canceled"

"it was declined by payment verification. you money will return to your account in 3-7 business days. this does not include weekends or holidays. here is some trouble shooting you can try, we recommend trying a different payment, and verifying that the info you provided to us is the same as on your bank as well."

3 days later

"my money still isnt in my account and its been 3 days" your order canceled on friday and it is now monday, there has been approx 0 business days that have passed.

"the bank says my information is correct" you put your name as only emojis and you put two separate addresses in separate states on address line 1 and address line 2. i 100% you lied about asking your bank.

"but i used *one recommended payment method* and it didnt go through" you used ONE of the recommended payment methods, and recommended does not mean your order is guaranteed to go through.

"why did my order cancel again" literally scroll up, you mustard packet.

conclusion: just use your brain a little. treat us as a human. realize we have no ability to change company policies no matter how much you belittle us. and when an agent asks for a specific list of information, just give it. for you, its 30 seconds of inconvenience having to type out your zipcode. for us, its 8 hours of inconvenience because we have to ask for this information multiple times in a row to every customer we get. read agent replies completely, as they probably already answered your question 3 messages ago. help us help you.

pps, we more likely to compensate you or break company policy for you if you are nice or even just neutral. i have comped people solely on not being a piece of shit to me, and even i broke policy today and took a return 80+ days past time frame because they gave me all their info the first time i asked and werent obnoxious about the mixup.

[greyeyedmonster-18]

hey there. hope you are doing okay.

i just wanted to ask something.

so... last week i went on a road trip with a few of my closest friends and well had the best time ever. but also that is the safest I have ever felt to just exist....i don't exactly know how to explain it but it felt as if I did not have to watch my back or pretend or hide something every second of the day. i felt safe in my own skin for the very first time ever and that was such a relief!

but what makes me guilty is that I did not even think about home for a single moment. even the thought of it did not cross my mind not that I was trying not to or forcing myself not to. it just...didn't? but all of my friends were homesick at least at one point during the trip.

so idk its just...is that okay?

hi anon, i am doing just fine, thank you for asking.

first, i am smushing your face in my hands and i am going to say: yes it is absolutely okay to not be homesick.

this is my personal philosophy, as a person who has moved a million times in their life, and who has no desire to "settle down" and plant roots in a place-- home and the concept of homesick is fluid. home isn't a house, or an address and its okay to drive away from the address you thought was home and not feel attached to it. its a feel of security and comfort.

because home can be a car on the road, where you feel safe and surrounded by your favorite people.

home can be a city you visit every 3 months, where you feel free to express yourself, dress the way you want, walk at your speed; where you have peace of mind.

home can be a lamp on the bedside table that you turn off every night and on every morning--consistent and always there. or a piano that you put in the trunk of your car no matter where you go, if its a night or a week.

you're not supposed to make home out of people, but ya know, sometimes home is seeing familiar faces in many zipcodes.

i know sometimes its...hard, being around people who do think of home as "parents, siblings, house on a street where you grew up" or whatever that is. who talk about wanting to go back to their bedroom, or missing knowing streets and shops like the back of their hands... but it doesn't have to look like that for you.

and its okay.

because bet you'll feel homesick when you're back in your bed and wanting to be back in that car.

Joey Bada$$ - 2000 ALBUM REVIEW

In the five years since the release of his last album, Joey Bada$$ hadn’t been as active as he usually is. Aside from his contributions to the Beast Coast album and the 3-song Light Pack EP back in 2020, Joey has been busy with other things outside of music. He had a daughter and continued his acting career, appearing in the first season of Wu-Tang: An American Saga, one of the Power spinoff shows, and the film Two Distant Strangers which won an Oscar. 2022 not only marks the release of Joey’s third album but also the 10th anniversary of his first mixtape 1999, which his new album’s title is a nod too. Though the cover and title are a nod to Joey’s beginnings, 2000 is definitely not a sequel to 1999 but instead marks the decade of Joey’s successful rap career. It’s much more polished in terms of production choices and mixing as this is a studio album full of original production mostly from longtime collaborator Statik Selektah who has produced a lot of Joey’s best music. The production is great and works well for Joey like always but the lyricism shines extremely bright on this album, which is also typical for a Joey Bada$$ album. Songs like Make Me Feel, Where I Belong, and Zipcodes sound like classic Joey. In terms of lyrical content, he spends most of the album reflecting on the past ten years, both in terms of his success but also sharing life experiences that happened along the way as well as honoring those close to him that lost, including Pro Era member Capital STEEZ and his cousin Junior B, who he dedicates the incredible Survivors Guilt to. Joey has mentioned Steez on many songs before, including #LONGLIVESTEELO but this song is easily the most vulnerable he has ever been about losing his close friend and family member. The beat is gorgeous and the hook is sung simply yet so beautifully as he says, “this one is for you.” He talks about missing his loved ones who came up with him and feeling guilty for being successful without them. It is moments like this song that we have been waiting for from Joey. The song Head High is also one of the better songs on the album, which he dedicates a verse to XXXTentacion as he tells a story of how their friendship came to be. I also love the hook on this one as he raps “This for my n****s who took the time to relax / huggin’ their block but the block ain’t hug ‘em back.” While a lot of this album is very reflective and introspective, he enjoys his successes on the album too on songs like Brand New 911 where Westside Gunn joins him for a verse and adds his amazing “BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM” adlibs to the track. There is also the song One Of Us with Larry June which I love the vocal sample on. While I love a good amount of this album as it sounds like the Joey we know and love, there are some dull moments like the intro with Diddy as well as Welcome Back with Chris Brown and Capella Grey which could have been cut from the album. That song really did not fit well with the album. I think the same thing about the hook on Cruise Control, though I do like the verses and the production. While 2000 accomplishes its goals of documenting Joey’s life since the release of 1999 back in 2012, it only somewhat meets my expectations. I am satisfied with the classic Joey Bada$$ wordplay and production choices and love the more personal songs on the album, the quality of the album as a whole doesn’t really hold a candle to his other albums. Besides that opinion which isn’t much of an actual criticism, I think that when you don’t compare it to anything and judge my own enjoyment of the album, it is really good and I am happy that Joey is back. 2000 isn’t anything groundbreaking but that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable. Joey is now in a very interesting part of his career as he has been in music for 10 years but is still only 27 years old. He has lived a whole rap career but is not even 30, making it seem as though he is only just getting started. 2000 seems like a major milestone for him, which is exciting because he is so young but has been rapping too long to be lumped in with the younger generation of rappers. 2000 is a very good album when you keep that in mind and enjoy the music for what it is and his reflective songs make a big impact for longtime Joey Bada$$ fans.

Fav Tracks: Make Me Feel, Eulogy, One Of Us, Head High, Survivors Guilt

So I’ve been studying a lot of my favorite artists because I’ve been trying to buckle down on my own work and I hope this is okay to say but I’ve noticed I’ve been giving characters’ hair a TON of volume lately and I think I can thank you for that! So, thank you for inspiring me and helping me become a better artist! Because I love drawing hair now!

Thanks! I just like drawing fluffy hair, because my own hair typically has its own zipcode, and we need more of that in our lives.

Also need more curly haired positivity in general. :)

Jo Ellison is the fashion editor for The Financial Times. She read (majored in) history at Edinburgh University, and before joining FT, she was the features director of British Vogue. For anyone reading along, FT = NOT a tabloid lol. Her column yesterday:

“I’m not wild about Harry any more — just disappointed: This could have been the prince’s moment to lean in. Instead he let us down”

I know, I know, I know . . . There are so many other things to be focusing on at this time of Unprecedented Crisis than the details of the £14.5m mansion in which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex now dwell. Who cares that the Beverly Hills home, owned by the producer and actor Tyler Perry, sits in the 90210 zipcode, has eight bedrooms, a fountain and a pool around the back? Or that it costs around £200k to rent a month?

Is it really in my interests to know who is paying for the accommodation: if the lodgings are being paid for by the host, or if it has fallen to Prince Charles — who is underwriting the Sussex lifestyle for the first year of their transition into “normal” civilian life — to pay the cheques?

Who cares that Meghan and Harry have employed the services of the 70-year-old Rebecca Mostow, the Beckhams’ former aide, to help them “run their lives”? Or that Meghan has lost on some issues in the first stage in her battle against Associated Newspapers, which she is suing for misuse of private information, breach of data protection and copyright infringement, as Justice Mark Warby has ruled to strike out part of her case. It’s hard to join the dots when the couple’s claims about infringement have coincided with news of a biography, Finding Freedom, for which the pair have collaborated with reporters to tell the “definitive version” of their lives.

Who cares? I do, as it happens. So much, in fact, that if left unattended I scrape for any crumb of Sussex information and follow any cruddy source. But why do I find myself caring quite so deeply? Because each new story is just one blow after the next. A long litany of disappointments in which each new revelation finds my former affection for Harry further sour.

By rights, Harry should be flying right now. These are the exact circumstances — global meltdown, widespread chaos, patchy leadership — in which young, charismatic royals tend to soar. This crisis, with its catastrophic impact on our livelihoods and the challenges it has placed on people’s mental health, would seem to have been designed with his good works in mind. This would have been the perfect opportunity, to coin a phrase, for Harry to lean in. After an adulthood of listless purpose, the bonny prince of mindfulness and therapy could have used this moment to really make a mark. He could have encouraged us to empathise and be kind to each other and talk about our feelings — all the things of which he used to speak so highly when he was princing. Before he chucked it in.

The bonny prince of mindfulness could have used this moment to really make a mark

But while his 94-year-old grandmother has been rallying the people with optimistic speeches to the words of Vera Lynn, and his two-year-old nephew has been clapping for key workers and handprinting NHS-supporting rainbows on little bits of card, Harry’s only significant communiqué has been an announcement sent on April 20 to various tabloid papers to let them know that he and Meghan would be having “zero engagement” with them hence. His preoccupation with press mistreatment may be understandable, and — of course — he is under no obligation to get involved now that he is no longer officially a royal. But on a day when figures for corona deaths reached 16,509 in the UK, it seemed an epic fail to read the room.

In the few short weeks since the abdication of his duties, Harry seems already so removed. Having been such a unifying figure, he’s gone to Hollywood and shut the door. He’s addressed the odd video message to veterans, and shared a post on Archie’s birthday, but even @sussexroyal, the couple’s carey, sharey Instagram feed, has dwindled off to naught. Their last post, made more than a month ago, was some platitude about thanking their community for their “shared commitment to the good in the world”.

And they must be feeling thankful. Having eschewed the trappings of their royal obligations, the Sussexes are now embracing an alternative dominion, one in which they have Queen Oprah as adviser, and the services of Prince’s former aide.

I guess I care because I feel a bit cheated. Because, somewhat naively, I thought Harry cared about me too. I was charmed by his normal-person banter, his seeming indifference to status, and his cheeky-chappy grin. I enjoyed his affability with common people, his blokey energy and the way he made his brother look like such a stiff. His marriage to Meghan once heralded a new era: their stance on equality and openness and hugging seemed so thrillingly relaxed. But what seemed modern and exciting before this process of emotional devolution looks increasingly myopic, materialistic and mundane.

Now Harry is shacked up in a Tuscan manor, alongside neighbours Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift. His new civilian lifestyle in Hollywood upholds such baldly basic aspirations. I thought that he was different. Silly me.

The Emperor has no clothes. And the Emperor is not charming any more. 

______________________________________________________________________

Thank you so much for sending this. I feel seen now. This is exactly where I am right now. Riveted to their ignomous, ongoing slide downhill towards celebrity irrelevance to the amazement at how different this is from their previous pr. I particularly like this phrase: “What seemed modern and exciting before this process of emotional devolution looks increasingly myopic, materialistic and mundane.”

 However, what really strikes me is where you get if you invert the sentence. The brf media machine turned a myopic, materialistic and mundane couple into a symbol of modernity and excitement.

 It’s not that Harry and Meghan changed. They were always like this.  It’s just that the media machine spun Meghan’s Hollywood trappings (blog, fashion, merching, media leaks, magazine covers, celebrity “friends,” pap-walking) into “glamour.” Harry’s hyperspeed courtship, media fights, and disregard for basic  protocol and long-standing government rules also got spun as “exciting.” 

And the biggest marks were the mainstream publications like the FT. They loved the idea of a biracial princess, so they bought the spin, hook like and sinker. It’s significant, as you note, that now they realize their mistake and are willing to go public about it.

#listen it's a universal problem#I love my mans Scott#everyone is always bagging on him WHY#Scott Summers#X-Men

Its because Scott Summers is inevitably compared and contrasted with those around him, and he has the great misfortune of running in the same circles as an all-star line up of like....just the absolutely most Ridiculous People to Ever Ridick.

We’re talking about a guy whose dad was abducted by aliens and from there went on to decide, welp, guess I gotta become a space pirate now, jaunty earring and all, no, shhh, shh, no, there are no alternatives, I gotta, no, I said no - SHUT IT, I SAID I GOTTA BE A SPACE PIRATE NOW ITS THE ONLY WAY. Oh btw, meet my fianceé. She’s an alien mercenary who is a little like a skunk but don’t call her that to her face or she’ll shoot you in yours. How’s that for swoonworthy, am I right, son?

We’re talking about a guy whose own son was a literal sixty year old Grumpy Old Man overburdened with world-weariness, wildly unnecessary shoulderpads and arthritic joints when Scott was barely hitting his third decade. With said son now randomly being a moody sixteen year old again, with a pet sentient sword he talks lovingly to, because apparently Nathan Summer’s take on teenage rebellion was to act out by being all LOL Fuck Time Travel Paradoxes and then rebelliously zooming around the space/time continuum while blasting a soundtrack of MCR probably, until he finally got a bead on his older self and shot himself in the face while being like “its not that I’m angry with you, I’m just disappointed” and look this is the part where your eyes are gonna wanna just glaze over so your brain can have a break, shhh, shh, don’t ask questions, just let it be, it happened, its a thing.

We’re talking about a guy whose brother rode a merry-go-round of “Am I a good guy this week or am I a bad guy because Reasons or sometimes Brainwashing or sometimes I Don’t Even Fucking Know, Look Don’t @ Me Bro, I Just Fucking Work Here, I’m Not In The Loop” for most of his twenties until dying in a fiery explosion only to inexplicably return years later as a coma patient who finally woke up one day and said “Whoa, just got back from tripping around the multiverse and boy do I have stories cuz apparently I’m the Nexus of All Realities, so hah, SUCK IT, big brother, and yes that is TOO a thing, shut up, LET ME HAVE THIS. Oh and also btw don’t spend a lot on your wedding gift for me and Lorna because I’m gonna leave her at the altar once I realize that I’m actually more in love with the random nurse lady who changed my bed pans while I was in a coma having a romantic rendezvouz with her in Paris in my brain courtesy of her psychic eight-year old kid trying to play matchmaker for her cuz like, she doesn’t date much apparently but its whatever, this is FINE, I have no objections. Ugh why are you looking at me like that Scott, no, I don’t need to “talk” with someone about everything I’ve ‘been through,’ ugh I’m HAPPY you asshole, god, why don’t you ever want me to just be HAPPY ugh you just have to control EVERYTHING with your over-bearing BS like “I am concerned your decision-making processes might be affected by all the people tampering with your decision-making processes over the years” like umm DID I ASK? No? I didn’t think so? YOU’RE NOT MY REAL DAD, SCOTT, UGH THAT DOES IT, IM RUNNING AWAY TO BE A SUPERVILLAIN AGAIN AND THIS TIME ITS TOTALLY YOUR FAULT, YOU’LL BE SORRY WHEN I CRY HAVOK AND LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR THIS TIME FOR SURE, AND OMG FOR THE LAST TIME I KNOOOOOOW THAT’S NOT HOW ITS SPELLED, ITS ABOUT THE AESTHETIC SCOTT, ITS CALLED HAVING A SENSE OF STYLE, UGH, LET ME LIIIIIIIIIIIVE.”

We’re talking about a guy whose other little brother randomly showed up and started killing people one day being like “hahaha surprise, bet you all forgot about me, PS, I’m REALLY FUCKING MAD AT YOU ALL FOR FORGETTING ABOUT ME” because the world’s most powerful telepath made everyone forget about him and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day they all had once and this is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine, this is normal. As is the way his newly discovered slash remembered slash resurrected slash recently returned from spending the last decade fucking around as a disembodied energy ghost on a rock up in Earth’s orbit little brother then decided the Earth just wasn’t big enough for the both of them, the both of them in this case meaning both him, singular, and his Angst, as a wholly separate and towering entity in its own right. So instead he fucked off to space and decided to conquer a vast alien empire and spend the next several years being their god-emperor or whatever until he got bored with that. And also he kinda sorta killed their dad for a bit but whatever, its fine, he got better, and then he also kinda sorta died for a bit himself but whatever, its fine, he got better, and there was that whole interstellar war between himself and the Inhumans but whatever that wasn’t even his FAULT, Scott, THEY STARTED IT, god, do you ever stop JUDGING ME AND MY LIFE CHOICES and PS I’m still mad at you for killing Xavier, you fucking asshole, not because you did it but because like, you KNOW I wanted to do it, I had a whole fucking villain monologue moment about it and everything, you were literally there, UGH WHY WON’T YOU LET ME HAVE NICE THINGS?!?! YOU ARE THE ENEMY OF FUN AND JOY AND HEY MAYBE YOU WERE THE REAL VILLAIN ALL ALONG, DID YOU EVER THINK OF THAT? HUH? MR. I’M THE BOSS, WAIT WHO’S THE BOSS? OH YEAH STILL ME, SCOTT, I’M THE BOSS, YOU GOTTA STOP BEING A SPACE EMPEROR GABE BECAUSE YOU CAN’T BE THE BOSS, ONLY I AM ALLOWED TO BE THE BOSS BECAUSE I’M THE BOSS AND I SAID SO AND YOU GOTTA DO WHAT I SAY OR I’LL TELL DAD.” 

And that’s not even getting into how we’re also talking about a guy who basically ended up divorcing his first wife and suing for sole custody on the grounds of “Well, your Honor, she tried to sacrifice our son on a literal demonic altar in order to summon Hell to Earth to destroy everything just to get back at me after I left her. Yes, your Honor, I understand that is in fact Asshole Behavior, but there were extenuating circumtances, you see, the woman I left her for was my first love before her who I thought was dead. And also, she was literally my wife before my wife was. No, I don’t mean I was married before Maddie, I mean Jean was kinda pretty much already Maddie before Maddie was Maddie. Its this whole clone thing. Look, I’m just saying it was a complicated situation and I know I have my part to play in it, but I still stand by my conviction that trying to sell out our entire planet and species to the legions of Hell while using the innocent blood of our ten month old as the Golden Ticket to the Chocolate Factory was still a little over the top and not really the right way to handle it either. Also, I contend that I can provide a better home environment at the moment than someone who is insisting on being addressed as The Goblin Queen because what even is that, honestly, Your Honor, and also, she also brainwashed my brother into trying to kill me on her behalf, which to be fair does happen about every other month anyway, but still, like. Dick move, you know?”

And we’re also talking about a guy whose second wife who was kinda sorta his first wife but only in that It Ain’t Bigamy If Its A Clone Thing way....like, I mean. Its kinda hard NOT to come across as the bland one in the relationship when your second wife occasionally moonlights as the AirBnb of choice for a cosmic parakeet goddess of rebirth and fiery destruction who is pretty infamous for the ragers she hosts every time she pops into town for a visit, all smiles and (literal) sunbeams (of scorching lethality) and “Lol hey hot stuff, remember me?” As if someone who ate an alien civilization’s sun the last time she hit a Mood is like....really in danger of ever being “New phone, who dis?”ed. But that is neither here nor there, much like the sentients of Alpha Centauri Bumfuckville after she went all Goodnight Sun, Goodnight Moon, Goodnight Solar System on their corner of the galactic neighborhood, because.....tbh I don’t think she ever actually said “why” there. Its one of those things where if you don’t already KNOW why a cosmic parakeet goddess of rebirth and fiery destruction has decided its nighty-night time for this particular zipcode.....like.....that’s not really something you just ASK, y’know? Its....tacky, probably. Also, low on the self-preservation instincts, probably.

Plus we’re talking about a guy whose second marriage to Yet Another Woman It Probably Should Have Registered As A Bad Idea To PIss Off Like This ended in like....so, okay, this was a bit more His Bad than even Round One was, courtesy of a “Groundbreaking. Revolutionary. Show-stopping” reinterpretation of what was up until this point te much more ambiguous and metaphorically named “Mental Affair” concept. Though it must be said, Scotty always has skewed a bit more towards the literal minded in his personal approach to things, so, y’know. That tracks. But regardless, the pattern remains consistent here, as once again, its not always easy to register on peoples’ radar as anything other than the Plus One when your newest paramour prides herself on being both the entire planning committee AND star attraction of Victoria’s Secret (assuming that said Secret is Secret Aims at World Domination) Presents: A Renaissance Faire. But in an evil and also kinky way. Except now with sixty percent less evil on account of how Emma’s reformed these days, but not a hundred percent less evil because she’s not like, REFORMED reformed, cuz that would be boring, eww, could you imagine, no, you couldn’t, because she won’t let you and she can do that, she’s that good at telepathy and that bad at boundaries. Still the same amount of kinky as before though, but like. That’s just about Strong Branding. After all, at the end of the day Emma Frost is above all else, a good businesswoman.

But yes, she is also a big fan of the Aesthetic, with that aesthetic being Her Whims On Steroids because like they say, go big or go home, and Emma Frost does not believe in going home when she can simply acquire your home instead. Hate the game, not the player. She didn’t make the rules, she just came to win. Point being, its hard to follow up an act like Jean-Who-Is-Sometimes-Phoenix-And-Sometimes-Dark-Phoenix-And-Oh-Hell-She-Cant-Even-Keep-Track-So-How-Could-Anyone-Else-Really, but say what you will about Emma’s wardrobe, she’s more concerned with clothing herself in unapologetic take no prisoners ambition, and as such, her being the follow-up to Scott’s epic romance with his childhood sweetheart turned literal cosmic embodiment of fire and passion, like.....this was never a big checkmark in the con side of a pro and con list for Emma. It was more like oh, yes, hello there, Challenge Absolutely Fucking Accepted.

Which, y’know, all the points to House Frost for showing spine and boy howdy, that’s a spine alright.....but at the same time, going head to head with someone who is classified as a galactic threat when people are deliberately low-balling her, like, for no other reason than you’re bored and your manicure appointment isn’t for another couple hours.....like that’s the kind of thing where it has to be pointed out that there were possibly alternative options worth considering somewhere in between ‘having no spine’ and ‘spiting cosmic entity who can kill you with her brain by stealing her man and saying come at me bro because like....my spine, let me show you it.”

But again, just to reiterate the premise here.....our thesis here today is that Scott Summers Gets a Bad Rap For Being Bland or Boring or Not Standing Out, But In Reality The Issue Is Just That All The People He Knows Are Truly Ridiculous People.

In other words, Scott Summers is no more the Everyman of the X-Men than any of his Truly Ridiculous Friends and Family.

Because an actual everyman would have bounced out of that madhouse way the fuck back in Chapter One: In Which Things Just Got Ridiculous.

Cut to Scott Summers, in contrast: *looks around, purses lips, weighs options* Nah. This is fine.

His daughter, who didn’t so much arrive after the traditional nine months of waiting and preparing for a bundle of bouncing baby joy but instead just like...plopped back into the past as a full grown woman hailing from a dystopian future she was hellbent on preventing by any means necessary, even if that means had Scott frantically shouting RACHEL NO as she screamed RACHEL YES and sprinted straight at someone like Selene (a villain who has survived 17,000 years of pissing people off and making enemies of actual, literal gods) while thinking “oh yeah, I got this.”

(To be fair, she probably DID have it, or would have, if Logan hadn’t chosen that moment of all moments to have his once-centennial contemplation of “Wait, what if....murder is...NOT good?” Never underestimate the daughter of a cosmic goddess.)

Or see also also:

Scott’s original classmates, including Doctor Hank “I’m not an over-archiever, I’m just stress-eating because its lunchtime and I’ve only revolutionized two whole fields of scientific study so far today,” McCoy, Warren “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful, hate me because I’m a billionaire, wait no, I’m just kidding don’t hate me at all hahaha I’m too sexy” Worthington III, and Bobby “I may look cute and unassuming and like my only priority in life is video games but sike, I too am a potentially cosmic level immortal being of nigh-unlimited power or at least I will be whenever I get around to tapping that potential like I’m currently tapping xy up down A + BBA like a boss, now shhh, don’t interrupt me while I’m kicking ass at Mario Kart I said I’ll GET TO THAT LATER, ugh, JEEZ, my priorities are FINE, Scott, like get off my back already, you’re not even my real dad” Drake.

In conclusion:

Scott Summers is valid, and there may be legions drinking his Hatorade, but make no mistake, its not that he’s Less Than, its that every single person in his social circle is just that damn Extra.

In fact, body odor has been rumoured to be enough of a reason to keep Japanese men out of military service [source: Burr]. Olympics, people of European or African ancestry hold all the medals. And among those, the men take the gold. The thing that stood out the most to me was how he just started helping out my Aunt to set the table and just helping however he could. About half way through dinner he noticed my grandma was having a tough time with the turkey, he didn't hesitate to chew his own turkey up, bend her head back and start regurgitating it into her mouth for her. He is such a sweetheart.. OH MY GOD. So. You made something make sense to me. I love the Kikumasamune Skin Care Lotion (High Moist)! I use it every morning and evening on my face, plus I use it on my body after I shower, it makes my skin so soft and smooth! I also love the Oshima Tsubaki Camellia Oil. I use it on my hair after I shower and at times when my face feels really dry I use it on my face. I also use it on my lips in the evening 동인천출장샵 time. I think the difference is that Asian people see themselves as "white" (not that they see themselves as literally Caucasian, but they look at white people and view themselves on the same level by virtue of having similar skin depth and zipcode) so they don clamor for representation as loudly as African American or afro/mestizo Latinx. In fact, having more Asian representation would only highlight the differences between Asians and whites, and many Asians actually don want that. These brands are heavily and traditionally marketed towards a certain class of "successful" white people, but it Asian people that heavily patron these brands. Some airlines charge for extra baggage or to give you the right to choose your seat. Try to work with what you have and pack a few kilos under your maximum allowance. It possible that you want to buy some souvenirs when you are away and if you pack to the max this could push you over your limit.. Dogs like Labrador and Chesapeake Bay retrievers were bred as gundogs to hunt duck. Their job was to go get the bird after it was 동인천출장샵 shot, and being a duck it would most likely be shot over water. They also have deep, barrel chests to help them float and thick rudder like tails. I heavily into skincare research into anti aging. I won be discussing the various antioxidants out there (think resveratrol, CoQ10, lycopene, Tiron) since they just mitigate the damage done by reactive oxygen species created by UVA rays. I also won be delving into UPF fabrics or UV blocking window film. She has been saying cliche anti semitic and anti Israel things for years like any average Islamist says. Nobody makes her say these things. It what she believes. That is all before President Trump called it something unmentionable. But are all the bad news reports fair? Does Haiti deserve its reputation? Haiti is in the middle of the Caribbean, surrounded by Cuba, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. It should be a paradise, so why doesn't anyone go there?. On the sands in the middle of the stream, hippos and alligators sunned themselves side by side. And stretching away in all directions, surrounding the insignificant cleared spot of the trading post, immense forests, hiding fateful complications of fantastic life, lay in the eloquent silence of mute greatness. The two men understood nothing, cared for nothing but for the passage of days that separated them from the steamer's return.

Rental Cars by Rental Direct4U — Don’t let your car break down or be damaged on a daily basis when you could have it repaired and on the road again in no time. If you have a rental car, then surge protection is essential, especially if you are renting from a company that doesn’t have its own insurance. With surge protection, you will have peace of mind knowing that the electronics inside are safe from damage caused by power fluctuations. Not only that, but if you ever have an accident, there is always the chance of losing all your personal belongings as well as the vehicle itself.

One great way to protect yourself is by renting a quality surge protector with USB ports. By plugging in your phone or other electronics with a USB cable, you can keep them safe and protected from damage.

Rental car brands are starting to offer special rates or discounts for car sharing members. You can sign up as a member and rent cars from the same company that you buy at a discounted rate.

One of the top rental companies in London, Hertz, is offering members a discount on car rentals. The company has partnered with Zipcar and offers an annual membership plan of £49.99 which entitles the member to two daily rentals. This membership plan costs £10 more than the monthly plan of £39.99. To book a rental through this membership plan, you need to book directly on Hertz’s website and enter your Zipcar membership number as your Zipcode. All Zipcar memberships automatically renew every three months and you’ll be charged a one-time, non-refundable fee of £24.99 upon renewal.

rentalsdirect is another rental car company that allows members to use their vehicles for five days without having to pay daily fees. rentalsdirect offers memberships with either hourly rates or a monthly subscription plan. The hourly rate costs £1 per hour and gives you access to drive your vehicle for 24 hours, while the subscription plan costs £12 per month and allows you to drive your vehicle for 48 hours per month for 12 months. Both plans require you to have a full tank of fuel when you start the day, so

Whether you’re looking for a car to ferry yourself to a family wedding or an SUV for the holiday season, renting a vehicle can come with a huge range of benefits.
