i left all of my s19 prepping for the last week and was NATURALLY left completely unable to play starting last tuesday night bc of the aforementioned Truck Shitting All Over My Internet Cable incident

wanted to start fresh w/ Content Creation(TM) in the new season & be more consistent abt my streaming & whatnot but, seems like I'm not gonna get to ride that wave- for the second season in a row (the EXACT same cable-getting-fuckt-as-an-act-of-god happened last time too lmaoooooo)

so........ idk. it's 1:30 am. I can't rearrange shit around the apartment or my pieceofshit upstairs neighbours are gonna do the thing they love to do (turn on their car's alarm if they detect any signs of intelligent life from my apartment, waking up my non-pieceofshit neighbour whomst is also my coworker & probably the whole city block in the process)

i'm tempted to buy a geforce now membership & do some absolute last-minute grinding on my bf's laptop that can actually catch enough of the neighbour's wifi for gaming....... but there's a chance the cable does actually get fixed tomorrow & if so I'd be throwing those $9 away

then again, if the cable DOESN'T get fixed tomorrow, I'm gonna Have To buy it or go another week without being able to schedule e-pal orders, the profits of which added up to like 5x-6x my stream income last month, which is a bit more than my 'formal' job -_____-

I'm gonna go stress-cook a fuckton of zucchini so all I need to do tomorrow is toss them in the blender for s o u p

and uhhhh idk, hope for a future where i can get online reliably to do my myriad weird gigs that keep me out of the in-person customer-service world (which would demolish what little sanity i've been able to put together since leaving my parents' abusive grasp) WITHOUT shelling out 1.6 months of my salary for a GODDAMN FUCKING STARLINK GADGET + 1/5th of that each month for the service, as a facebook follower of mine oh-so-kindly suggested since apparently it works Just Fine for him

#I WANTED TO SKIN HIM FOR THE MERE SUGGESTION LMAO.#viitalks #starlink offers ONE SINGLE SOLITARY OPTION here in mexico: 300mbps #it's like $400 usd for the starlink device. then $80 a month. i make $250/mo. apparently he bought the device on a 24-month payment plan #and splits each month's bill w/ his neighbours (a family w/ three highschool age kids)#it's like the weird nerds jumping in front of a bullet for elon meme except it's not a twitter rando but a guy whomst i've chatted to semi-#frequently. whomst lives in my city and is a Regular(TM) at my twitch chat #and he's like......... a whole doctor too lmao #& i'm like YEAH you know....#rn i pay $25 for 200 mbps. and i don't have to share it with a whole family next door #and YEAH it's been breaking way too often but that's literally just bc the actual street & utility poles here are Built Different (badly)#the actual telecomms company is offering a semi-decent deal #i can't imagine paying TRIPLE to GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING ELON MUSK-#for 1/3rd faster internet which i'd then have to split with A WHOLE 'NOTHER HOUSEHOLD is worth it in ANY SCENARIO #LMAO. WHAT THE FUCK.
