Grocery stores price gouging is one of the most deplorable things, cuz it's a necessity to live and people literally don't have a fucking choice. esp those who can only go to one, or a few, grocery stores due to transportation challenges or other factors (food deserts etc)
#msposts#text#complaining#anyways a single pepper costs like 2$ or more here now#its literally cheaper to buy premade shit than to buy ingredients#more than ever before#i had a lady buy enough for lasagna#70 fuckin dollars#i think we have a farmers market nearby but i dont have the transportation to really go there#and its usually open when im working....

Random post game scenario, after of which a towerless Pizzahead tricks Peppino to "let" him work "with" him. First day; and Pepperoni is already completely fed up with the guy!
Pizzahead hates dishes, and WILL break them rather than washing any. ever. this is canon and you CANT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE
#pizza headed man: blorbo of my brain ☆ blorbo of my heart ♡#i imagined this scenario tbh like the day after i discovered pizzatower i only just drew it now haha#also for the record this is a small scene of my internally imagined post canon ya#pizzahead tricked peppino into being 'buisness partners' and letting pizzer work with pepp (not FOR him- so he cant be fired easily)#and peppino immediatly puts him on dishes duty out of spite and annoyance#problem with one spitefull dude with another even pettier one- is that it cycles#pizzahead never does dishes even in his tower never ever he buys esclusivly paper plates and plastic utensils always#peppino uses glass plates bc washing them is cheaper than constantly supplying more disposable plates#and ofc their ideals clash lmao#its just. so funny !!!#these blorbos... they do such funny things#dorf's art#sketchy doodles#pizza tower#pizzahead#peppino spaghetti#i have so much to say about them haha#feel free to ask about my 'AU' where they work together bc i do have a couple ideas about it i just dunno where to start#pizza tower spoilers

That feeling when you're supposed to take the last flight out of your small regional airport with only one airline, but your plane gets delayed almost three hours causing you to miss your connecting flight at DFW, and the best they can do is put you on the last plane out again the next day, but you were flying to spend three days with good friends who you only get to see once a year, and taking that next day flight would mean you lose a whole day, so you decide to cancel your flight out of the regional airport, drive overnight to DFW, and take the first flight out on Southwest instead so that you arrive at 10am and have the whole day to spend with your friends.
(Joy. The feeling is joy. Because friends are the best. 🥹)
#when we realized we were going to miss the connecting flight we became determined to find a solution#hell or high water we ARE going to see our friends goddamn it!#we're back home now and driving like 10 hours in total to and from DFW was still 100% worth it#And hey added bonus - the drive plus the new flight ended up being cheaper than the original flight#And we got to eat the best shawarma I've ever had in my life in Fort Worth on the way home 🤤

the way the most recent pokemon games don't let you turn off the exp share or the affection mechanic bonuses is nothing short of maddening. i think they make great accessibility features If Only They Were Optional and the flavour text is cute, but i want to have a fun casual playthrough that's at least mildly challenging without having to make it a nuzlocke or something. i don't want to feed my starter bitter medicines to make her hate me :(
#JUST LET ME TURN IT OFF... PLEASE....#i can't do nuzlockes i do Not have the willpower to stick to the rules and they stress me out haha#anyway i am a fool who's left all of my DS games in norway and i got a hankering for replaying sinnoh games#so i decided to get shining pearl right. figured it might be fun even if ill miss the 4th gren spritework something fierce#what ensued was a needlessly complicated process just to get a copy that was slightly cheaper than full price nintendo blood money#there's a store that listed shining pearl at a lower price. not brilliant diamond - just pearl#i feel like maybe it's by mistake since that's the price of a nintendo DS cartridge. so maybe wires got crossed#the norwegian version of the store does NOT have the price disparity.#anyway i can't order online without a swedish phone number. and the local store is out of stock#so i have several long walks to the store to get them to order it in for me and then to order it delivered to me etc#and then of course another long walk to pick up the mail BUT I HAVE IT NOW. I HAVE VIDEO GAME#and it's very nice and nostalgic with a couple quality of life upgrades#my first pokemon game was pokemon diamond. when i got it i was still learning english and had no idea what was happening at any time#good times good times#obviously no pokemon run is ever gonna be as challenging as my first ever run#it does not need to be! u can immediately tell that a lot of difficulty in earlier games is that leveling up your team was a hassle#and almost always required grinding. i do not miss that at all ! but the remakes seem to be Extremely Faithful#so they're not rly structured around how fast you can level your whole team#or that your pokemon are gonna start doing extra crits or hold on to last HP before u even get to the third gym#OH WELL#you know what's very exciting for me though. i have a misdreavous!!! they're pearl exclusive and not in platinum#ive always wanted to do a sinnoh run with a misdreavous on my team for some reason

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 229/?
Bobbie Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe (1967)
"And Papa said to Mama, as he passed around the black-eyed peas:
'Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please.
There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow'
And Mama said it was a shame about Billie Joe, anyhow.
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billie Joe McAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
[...]
"Mama said to me, 'Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite.
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday - oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billie Joe was throwin' something off the Tallahatchie Bridge'"
#favourite lyrics#bobbie gentry#ode to billie joe#1967#jimmie haskell#ode to billy joe#<- as this fairly regularly gets styled‚ tho Billie is correct and the spelling that appeared on the label originally#i overuse the term but i really think it's unavoidable here: this song is an absolute masterpiece of narrative songwriting#Gentry's ambition had only really been to work as a lyricist; she recorded this as part of her first demo‚ singing the songs herself#because it was cheaper than hiring a singer for the sessions. the demo grabbed the attention of Kelly Gordon at Capitol‚ who signed Gentry#and got to work producing her first album. the centre point of the album‚ and her first single‚ was to be Mississippi Delta; there wasn't#much interest in the Southern gothic tinged tale of secrets and 'unconscious cruelty' (as Gentry dubbed it) of Ode‚ and it was regarded#with little interest by Gordon (when arranger Haskell asked him what instruments he should add to Gentry's stripped down vocal and guitar l#the producer replied curtly that it didn't matter because nobody would ever hear it). Ode was assigned as b side to Mississippi Delta as#almost an afterthought‚ but this was the era in which US radio djs frequently chose which side of a single they wanted to play and the#unanimous decision was Ode; here was something special‚ a dark and tantalising mystery of a song obscured by the humdrum idle conversation#of an unthinking family. it ignited a kind of obsessive curiosity among listeners‚ desperate to find out what exactly the unnamed singer#and Billie Joe were throwing off the bridge‚ why did Billie Joe take his own life‚ why do the singer's gamily clearly not know about#their obvious relationship? Gentry‚ for her own part‚ resisted all attempts to glean further information about the actions of her song's#protagonist. she rightly tried to steer interested parties back towards what is arguably the real horror of the song‚ that unconscious#cruelty; a family that can eat and chatter and squabble even as they discuss the suicide of a boy they've known all their lives‚ even as#the clearly affected girlfriend of the boy (their own sister and daughter) sits in dumbstruck silence‚ unable to articulate her feelings#the original cut of the song ran more than 7 minutes and had to be mercilessly hacked down to fit a 45 single suitable length. no one had#expected much of anything from the song but it was to catapult Gentry to almost instant stardom; the forthcoming album was retitled after#the song that was now its focus; Ode went on to top the Billboard Hot 100‚ won a clutch of grammys and ended up selling more than 3 million#copies worldwide. Gentry had captured the imagination of a nation and beyond‚ but her success was tempered by legal challenges (from#producers demanding greater royalties) and a general dissatisfaction with her newfound stardom: it would last a little more than a decade#and include her own tv shows‚ more awards and smash hit singles; then just as suddenly as she'd shot to fame‚ Bobbie retreated from it#retiring from both the business and from public life. she hasn't made a public appearance since the early 80s‚ nor does she grant interview#but so what? if she's happy? i hope she's happy. she left us enough great music to enjoy. let her have her peace and quiet

girls social anxiety won again today ✌️
#i#literally won a lottery ticket to see cabaret (the show)#which i applied for without really thinking because they literally never ever ever happen#but i won it this time#but now i can't possibly go on my own#because there's audience interaction and what if they put me in one of the tables#I've read they take people on stage too oh no oh nooooo#and it's not the kind of show I'd usually feel comfortable in on my own#but I'm so mad at myself why am i like this 😭😭#erola.txt#they say lottery you still have to pay a ticket but it's way cheaper than the normal one

If Warhammer 40k: Battlesector and all it's DLC didn't cost 170 fucking dollars I would straight up buy it. From what (little) I currently understand it's almost literally just a videogame version of the boardgame, which is what I've always always wished for. I'm having so much fun right now. Too bad it costs 170 fucking dollars, hahahaha.
#tlgtw ooc#warhammer 40k battlesector#warhammer 40k#There is no way on earth I'm going to pay actual money just to play a fucking boardgame. Especially one that costs 80 gajillion dollars PLU#storing all that dang paint!!!#This is the like 70% of the awesomest thing ever though.#If this game had those really big units the titans and gargants and stuff somehow.#And it somehow had model customization where you could customize the colors of ur guys or apply patterns or upload PNGs of logos to paste o#It would be a trillion/10.#Maybe someday. Such a thing should exist.#But I'm enjoying myself now. So so be it.#This game is NOT worth buying tho still. Just for the record. 170 fucking dollars.#NOT including the upcoming Astra Militarum DLC that'll be another 23 dollars.#A fucking joke of a price point.#Although that is still cheaper than playing the boardgame. So perhaps that says enough by itself.

I checked my grooming stuff to be sure I have all that I need and I have a lot more scissors than I remember lmaooo
#my old coworker gave me a SHIT ton of her old stuff which im super super thankful for#but i do not remember her giving me like 6 different fucking scissors 💀💀💀#anyways all i needed to buy for now are thinning shears bc the ones she gave me was her very first pair and theyre super small and dull#so i think its cheaper to just buy a new pair than get them sharpened#but hey. if i ever need a small pair of thinning shears at least i have them#THENNNNN much later as a treat i can buy a whole new set bc i found a really nice one on amazon so that will be saved for later <3#and i also bought a new nail clipper bc the one i have is falling apart#bc a great dane BROKE mine bc his nails were so fuckin thick 😭😭#i remember hearing the clipper snap when i cut his nails and i struggled to keep it put together ever since 💀💀💀

I impulsively bought a drawing tablet at like, 3am last night and that's all I've been preoccupied with all day. And probably tomorrow. I guess I DO like art!
#me my mine#i drew a selfsona and it turned out very inhuman#I was initially going for a cutesy design but then I looked and was like....hmmmm not very me#and now it's very tall/triangle head/one eye/dimension door torso/one pole leg/halo/scribbles and i love it#i got one of the cheaper drawing tablets btw since i am a beginner and yeah i really like it#I kept thinking about oyasumi punpun while drawing it#also if i ever refer to my selfsona as “he” don't think too much about it#i just have a deeply ingrained habit of not referring to myself as a she online because of years and years of misogyny#i've gotten better at that though#i'll most likely call the selfsona “it” though cause it's a creature rather than a person and i like being perceived that way#i am also sleep deprived again so sorry if none of this makes sense LMAO

I love my new apartments location and it's very nice but I have to say going from a 8x10 bedroom to a two bedroom apartment is kinda giving me reverse claustrophobia. Too much space.
#itll feel better once i have a bed and couch but for now im just like#how. how will i ever fill this space enough to seem cosy#it Is the biggest of all the apartments i had on my list#but the location! and it was so much cheaper than the smaller one!!!#seriously it was 60$ a month cheaper than a place nearby with 400 ft less#although the burned my cookies ovwn might explain a little bit of why

is there really a better combination than bread and butter. i love you bread i love you butter i love you carbs and fat
#caroline talks#was hungry. didn't have any real snacks lying around#really i just. went into the kitchen#toasted bread. slabbed on butter.#if my roommate thinks i'm being odd right now. let her think i'm being odd#i have just studied for two and a half hours straight i need. fun little snack#tbh. i just like the nice crusty bread that i get from my grocery store's bakery#literally i have NOT looked back ever since i got that bread from the store.#and sometimes it's genuinely cheaper than the regular degular factory produced bread#so like. a good time#and also. i'm a big believer in buying foods that genuinely make you happy#so if i spend a buck more on good bread and therefore feel excited and happy to eat. then so be it

i have.....become accustom to a certain standard of living (wearing mens boxers) and these tomboys no longer do the job...
#here i was so worried i wouldnt ve able to tolerate boxers cause if the extra dick fabric#and yet#now i prefer it cause my tdick is SQUASHED#i need to go on an underwear shopping spree#free the dickie#i wish the nice stuff wasnt so expensive but its still cheaper than tomboy ever was and they went to shit anyway#plus mens boxers have this extra stitching that lifts my butt up into a nice plump shape#despite weighing 120lb and having zero body fat#g strings or 4.5“ boxers and no in between

one day when i am not busy dying on the inside and out i will write an honest-to-god essay about how people are, for the lack of a better descriptor but simultaneously for the lack of a more perfect one, too edgy about five.
#like yeah five is an edgy game and the darkest in the series and gloomier than all of its predecessors but. i lack the words for it now but#there are important little moments in five where light shines through the carpet haphazardly thrown over a pile of garbage that oft get#ignored in favor of pushing the agenda that everyone in five is filth down to the core and that's just not true#i just- deeeeeeep sigh. people are so shallow sometimes man#this is how we get those characters that do not resemble the original in the slightest that either take one trait of the given character an#then bloat and exagerrate it until the character is a caricature of themselves OR projections of what the people would like these character#to BE in order to... be able to wrap their heads around them and their motivations more easily‚ i guess??#i don't know it feels to me like people just don't want to bother with the intricacies of complex characters and that's how the wood plank#versions of characters get created and then passed around ad infinitum#sweet grouchy baby boy who never did anything wrong ever. man who is either an innocent little big guy or satan himself. guy who is#objectively one of the most flawed individuals in the series being worshipped as a hero (griffith syndrome). guy who is either depicted as#an obnoxious playboy who only cares about getting laid and having as much skin exposed as possible at all times or the most vile man on#planet earth while being neither. the fucking. masochist cyborg thing. i'm gonna explode#oh and if you point out that there needs to be depth to any analysis of these characters if you are to do them justice you end up with a#gaggle of people saying oh yeah of course everyone in here is awful and they all have pig hearts#and i'm just wondering why this is the default conclusion most come to and not‚ you know‚ the thought that complexity does not inherently#imply rottenness but rather that even in the most horrible of situations you can find something good#i'm not the happiest or the most fortunate of individuals but i still refuse to believe in the idea of inherent evil that's being sold for#cheaper than a copy paper pack these days#but that has nothing to do with this my point is if you're trying to do media analysis you've got to look beyond... i don't have a word for#this... i guess you could call them fanmade stereotypes? no that's not it‚ my point is that people need to open their eyes to how complex#motivations and circumstances and human connection are and face that complexity head on instead of rubbing the story with sandpaper until#it's satisfiable to them#logs

if you like to present masc but also like pretty necklaces, or if you need a tie to wear but are tired of trying to tie pain in the ass cloth ties, then you should check out bolo ties. they are not so well known everywhere but they are really cool and come in all different shapes and colors, you can even buy them directly from artists if you have the budget and want a cool unique one, and they’re gender neutral
#i got several new ones recently and i probably shouldnt have bc they were a little expensive but.#i love them so much.#cheapest one i ever bought was $25 but they usually do cost more than that. my usual price range is $100 - $150 for them#which is the sort of thing i cannot buy very often but every now and then i can#if you like. have a lot of money though. you can get an even cooler one thats like. huge or with complicated inlay or fancy silversmithing#i cant afford those though ;o;#the reason the one was so cheap was bc it was by a local artist who used cheaper materials than in most ties#so no precious metals or gemstones.#so it was super cool looking but didnt cost so much. it was steampunk too. its one of my favorites#i saw one i loved but could not afford that was an ELEPHANT. made out of gemstones. an ELEPHANT
