i hate that finding a good job this day always requires networking. what about us antisocial bitches that say more words to an npc than to a human in a day. i really should be able to get a decent job with skills alone, not through someone i happen to know, because i don’t know that many people.

#also how jobs post listings they already have an internal candidate for #and you apply #do a test task #and get it dismissed with a laughable excuse of ‘grammar mistakes’#(totally didnt happen to me and totally not bitter about it wdym)#job search now is just. hellish. ive searched three months and all i got is an unpaid internship that evolved into a job with less #than livable wage #like its not livable even in cheaper regions of the country let alone the capital where i currently live #together with my bf we make what one of us should ideally make to survive on our own #ah and i also get a laughably tiny stipend from my university #its really Laughably tiny #so tired of corporations not valuing people’s labor what it really costs #like i should be able to afford at least groceries and one room apartment on my salary and maybe something to save for clothes and all #instead all my salary goes on food. for me and my bf and for my lunches at work #thats all i can pay for with my money #this just. makes me so miserable #sorry for whining #arnold’s laments

On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?

*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)

*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)

(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )

(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)

#polls #tumblr polls #I'm mostly in the 0/1 - 25$ category. Maybe the rare month is a bit over $25 if there's something specific going on like birthday.#Which I'm NEVER eating in an actual restaurant (erm... covid... plus I just hate restaurant environments. i would rather pickup #the food and bring it home to a peaceful quiet environment that I control lol). But more typically like stopping by a grocery store deli #section or something. I don't have coffee that much. And I can't eat fast food much due to my health issues/diet restriction stuff #so if I'm out like coming back from an appointment and I start feeling really sick and weak. I know that a hamburger will just #blow up my system and cause nausea or something. So I try to pick the breadiest most #neutral looking turkey sandwich at the safeway deli to eat during the hour ride home or whatever lol #I actually kind of wish I could do stuff like get food more often vecause it would take the burden of cooking everything off of me #but.. alas... Money... and Health Things... T o T #I still wouldn't do it ALL the time but like... once a week instead of once a month or something.. or maybe turning into a coffee #person.. I do love drinks A LOT .. i am a drink person who will have 5 different drinks sipping on at all times #But i just have to make them all myself mostly lol #And I cant really have too much coffee since it will make me sick. so like.. teas and juice mostly #When I inevitably become a millionaire by never using social media never networking and only finishing one #sculpture every 5 months which I dont even post about or sell - then I shall... get more drinks..#I will somehow wean my body onto coffee and drink one a day solely for the ritual of it #Though even then... I would still probably just like.. buy the mateirals to make it at home or something #Like if you had a million dollars you could just buy a kitchen grade ice cream machine and other stuff to make your own milkshakes and #coffees and smoothies and bubble teas. Genuinely I think even if I were a BILLIONAIRE I would still look at playing likr $8 for a single #coffee and go .. uh.... I could just buy the equipment to make this and then save that money. PLUS. its in my house now so no need to #have to leave. I can make my own drinks in the comfort of home. .. ideal..#Like no matter how rich I ever got I would still have the lingering scroogey stinginess. like i am NOT paying for that. I will jus #make it myself. Especially if it was an Everyday thing. Anythign thats part of my routine I try to optimize and make as efficient as #possible... ANYWAY.. In an IDEAL world I would get treats. but probably not that much. as on a daily basis it would start to get #to me and I would just save up to buy kitchen machinery if I was rich lol

just thought of being scumbag patricks pretty little girlfriend and saying you love him mid-stroke and he groans, puts a hand over your mouth because you dont mean that shit - he's gonna pretend he didn't hear it, cause hes bad for you and you falling in love with him would be fucking awful for you both - doesn't stop him from fucking you deeper though, immediately after you say it. like the words have a lasso affect and his hips crash into yours, not parting this time, just grinding his cock inside - way more intimate than he usually allows. biting his palm, wrestling your mouth from under his palm in defiance like the brat you are so you can pant and whine another breathless "i love you - i love -" he fucks you harder until the words fade out into moans. acting like his balls aren't twitching to unload inside you the moment you said those words, like its just to shut you up, the desperate slam of his hips, and not like the confession means anything.

#poppy speaks #patrick wants so desperately to be loved but balks when its given. my beloved.#especially older patrick #like shut up u love this dick thats all i can give you #and not like he doesn't make you laugh like his arms aren't comforting when they're around you #like arguing with him doesn't set your soul on fire like trying to impress him with your tennis playing is all for show #like he doesn't buy you milkshakes and fries even though you have more money than he does bc he likes being the one to pay #like he isn't beautiful and strong and funny and kind when it matters most to those he cares about #hes just a walking dick to you. some old man dick to sort out your daddy issues #it cant mean anything more #patrick zweig smut #this is dolly and patricks dynamic in my mind

wish me luck tonight lads i have to ask my aunt financial questions and she is very much smarter and better at math than i am so im going to be doing a lot of smiling and nodding while my brain is actually exploding

#she's been trying to convince me to set up an RRSP and look into GICs and stuff and im like #i don't think i have the mental capacity for either but i will try (:#i told her i would look into it more after i got the life insurance thing squared away and thats over with so #now i must pay the piper. and by that i mean listening to investment advice from someone who makes at least double my salary (:#oh well at least she can give read advice. my dad's is basically 'stuff all your money in a metaphorical mattress and forget about it'

It still blows my mind that no body wants to own movies or CDs. Like I don't like not owning any movies or shows I like and wanna rewatch. Maybe I sound like a boomer but I'm not planning on paying for Netflix for the rest of my damn life just for this one movie I love that their hosting. Imma go on the internet and get the DVD.

We really shouldn't allow these streaming services to kill DVDs and CDs. We should not let them kill physical media. They want you to not have a physical copy, so that when you stop paying, you don't have access to the product your paying for. Buy more CDs. Buy more DVDs. Buy a damn VCR. I mean shit, a fucking Xbox or playstation can play any DVD, blue ray or not. Your car has a radio for a reason.

Don't let them kill physical media. Because if or when the cards fall, you'll be left with nothing.

#levi speaks #listen im not the type to be like all streaming services are bad #there are some good ones #but dont contribute to somethign you know is killing your ability to access it without their help #they make more money for you paying every month for a netflix and Spotify subscription then you going out and buying the dvds and cds #subscriptions make more money than one time purchases #and you've been raised that thats normal #it isnt #its greed #what happened to personal piracy?#burning cds with your favorite tracks #recording movies off the tv #lets bring digital piracy back #cause theirs no way im paying $7 a month just to listen to one song #im finding the youtube lyric video on the internet using the ytube to mp3 downloaders and listening to that file all on my own #fuck you netflix and spotify and every other bs service #except for shudder shudder is fine #shudder is baby girl and highlights young small horror artists #fuck everybody else #the only reason i can justify netflix is because they have enough Netflix exclusives that make it worth it #they dont put their money where their mout is in terms of representation tho

i need people to start paying me for every time they tell me "oh but ur arts so good ur wasting ur talent u need to do it professionally" wrong i need to do art to draw beautiful characters that not a single other person cares about while feeding every ounce of love i have into my work or to convey thoughts & feelings beyond words and to even think of doing otherwise is to deny my own nature "oh but u can do what u want and then sell it" why is everything about money to you why cant u just enjoy things at what point in ur life did u forget how to have fun

#i hate that this stance is also seen as childish #like i have a full time job & often have mandatory overtime i have income already #if u need to to make ends meet then thats different do what u can to help urself live as comfortably as possible #but holy fuck pleasure as an adult is not limited to sex & money & watching tv #besides u know not a single one of the people who say this are willing to actually pay what the arts worth #its like 'well not me but other people would love it!' yeah okay u know a lot of other people are going to see the #over $100 price tag and go 'i like it but not that much! other people however' like just shut up. honestly. be quiet.#if i speed ran my art and low balled myself to a $15/hour rate the lowest would still be like $120 #which is not worth it AT ALL bc i just paid MORE to sit on my ass & look at eggs #and. again. is underselling myself for both experience & time. but people think $80 full body comms are too expensive #do u think im so stupid to not expect to get scammed when even 'easy' things are over $100 #but no ur right why would i have fun with something when i could instead cause myself infinite stress over it perfect thanks #do not give me advice about doing comms i do not want to do comms #if u see me doing comms im in a very dire situation. like thats a last resort for me.

Fuchgenta??

#the tiny house i based my own blue print off of is for sale at 110000 across the country #if my ass weren't broke id hop on that and drive all the way over to get it #but also 110k for a tiny house on wheels is pretty outrageous especially when these things were originally marked at a cap of 65k #once upon a year now no one can afford them #i do want a home someday and I'm also finding I'm nomadic by nature #dream would be have a “home base” with land thats permanent #but as soon as winter comes i can pack up and move south or wherever is warmer for several months before returning #that would be great for minimizing fibro flares getting away from the cold #heck if remote work ends up getting me good money after i pay off a huge chunk of medical debt i wouldn't mind #being a digital nomad for a few months out of the year #go see people i like across the pond see pompeii see rome see ireland see spain see australia see japan #so many....#theres people that want to hear the pitter patter of tiny feet before they die #then theres me that wants to see all the cool ancient human things before it disappears or before i leave earth and go home #one of the few big fears i have is it wont happen in this life #but hey i didnt think i was gonna make it past 23 let alone make it to 32 #i didnt think i was ever gonna get out of my abusive household and out of my old shitty life #but im here so who knows what could happen right?#not magenta or fuchsia but some other pink variation #i just need to roll out a pink color palette and start assigning emotions to them at this point 😂#magenta is my vent word #fuchsia is my vent word for good things #idk wtf this is its a combo

I've got too many games I want to play and not enough free time 😭 I still need to finish my BG3 playthrough but since Endless Ocean: Luminous came out I've been playing a lot of that instead. Also just got back into Wizard101 last night. Started playing House Flipper again last weekend. Still need to finish BOTW so I can start a TOTK playthrough and finish Pokemon Shield so I can start on Pokemon Violet. I've been fighting off the urge to start up a new Skyrim playthrough for weeks. My brother just told me that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is getting ported to the Switch. And now I'm suddenly feeling inspired to replay DAI... And throughout all of this I'm also playing the hell out of DragonVale on my phone. Someone just pay me to play video games all day please

#and before anyone suggests it: no i cant try to get into streaming #the way i play video games is extremely frustrating for other people to watch ahdjsksl #no one is going to give me money for producing a video where i spend two hours checking every barrel in the map while juggling my inventory #and then immediately give up on a puzzle and just sit in silence for 30 minutes while i look up a walkthrough instead #i need a situation that pays me $200 a day just to be autistic at the screen alone in the comfort of my own home #rambling #a few years ago i made it a mission to play all of the dragon age games and dlcs in order and i did not complete it #i got all the way to inquisition before i quit #i had already played it on ps3 but i wanted to replay on my new gaming laptop and unfortunately my computer decided it was too complicated #and also i just wanted to play as an elf again and i was resisting that urge bc i played as an elf the first time and wanted something new #so i didnt connect to my character as much #BUT ive learned a lot about optimizing my games from getting bg3 to run on my computer #so i think i could get it to handle dai now. especially if i upgrade to ssd like ive been wanting #and i just saw a dai post on my dash that made me daydream about possible characters and i was struck with inspiration #when i first played through on ps3 i didnt know anything about da lore. it was my first dragon age game #i was just doing whatever i thought seemed coolest #so i basically modeled my inquisitor after my dnd oc and then just picked a vallaslin i thought was pretty #and then when it came time to pick a specialization i was just like 'i mean my hand has rift magic right? seems obvious enough'#but now i know the LORE. and the dalish really interest me. and i want to make an inquisitor thats their own character #i didnt want to replay another elf mage bc i thought it would be too similar #but at the same time i wanted to re-experience dai (and experience trespasser for the first time) now that i knew more about the dalish #(with mods that fix the annoying bits where your character seems to not know about their own religion of course lol...)#i was thinking about that and i just got hit with some inspiration #instead of 'my dnd character but with a cool tattoo and rift magic and they kinda roll with the inquisitor stuff bc idk whats going on'#what if i made a more intentional character with a much different personality and their own backstory #theyre still the first of their clan but i know what that means now so theyre not really into the herald of andraste stuff #theyre a devotee of falon'din with his vallaslin and fittingly choose necromancy specialization (tho theyre annoyed by all the maker talk)#they can look cool and goth and maybe they even make some different choices about the well of sorrows 👀#i could keep rambling but im running out of tags gah #anyways ive got lots of ideas now and i think the playthrough would be unique enough to be worth it

#there is this inherent horrible horrible guilt to me when it comes to money #I can not buy something for me. I Have to convince myself it is for something productive #or it will be used by my family or used with my friends #it cant just be for me for nothing or its all for naught #and i dont know how to explain this to people #i really really dont #because then sometimes people will offer to get something for me but thats almost worse #because then it shifts from the guilt of wasting money on yourself for nothing. a solid 65/100 on the guilt scale #to wasting *someone elses* money on myself for nothing which is an easy 80 or so on the guilt scale and is only worse if it costs more #like see.#its easy when its like christmas because so long as you are about equivelent in money or I am doing more than the other it is good and righ #but as soon as the scale tips there is something horrible in my chest like ive done some great wrong to be righted #you know?#I dont know its just #i feel so strange trynig to ever expalin it all so i just . dont #I just try to circumnavigate it #like like #if i can just pay them back overtime it works out perfect #a lot of times i get really really narvous about this to a weird degree and i genuinely dont know how to get out of it #because when its like way over into the red with someone the last time i got so stressed I started sweating like I was running #and i was breathing weird and feeling lightheaded so i layed down on the ground and just stayed there for a while #sorry to Justice and Charles who will never see this post or explaination and only knew that I got really weird at my own birthday circa 19 #idk #its just one of those inherent traits to me forever and ever

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

#I think maybe productivity tips help less if the reason you're unproductive is partially like.. physcial health and other extenral things #out of your control. rather than just like having trouble paying attention or spending too much time on tiktok or whatever #all the strategic to do lists in the world are not going to somehow prevent me from waking up with a debilitating migraine or whatever #or having external stressors or lacking resources and connections or other Productivity Essentials etc.#especially many tips involve stuff like 'cut off from social media' since thats the modern day time waster for so many poeple #and it's like.. lol.. i can hardly even maintain a blog even thuogh i actively WANT TO DO SO. 'shut off your smart phone!' already #done babey i fucking hate smart phones i shall never use an app unless i am forced to. 'delete tiktok' yep. already covered. tiktok and #all of those thinsg are my enemies. 'save money by cancelling some of your services' cool. already ahead of you.#who the fuck is out here paying for like 10 different subscription services. pirated videos uploaded to google drive and youtube to mp3 #my beloved. etc. etc. and so on. 'socialize less' .........LOL.. if only you knew.. mr.writer of the article. i can barely muster #talking to friends more than once a month and even less if I'm actively sick (often occurence) etc. etc. ... hewoo #I think maybe instead of generic productivity tips I need more like.. how to refocus and be productive anyway even if you have a headache #or are nauseous or etc. Not that those are always things to ignore. and of course you should let your body rest and etc. But plenty of peop #e have mild physical symptoms and just work through them. Ithink something about the way my body/mind is SOO hyper attuned to all #sensory information just makes it like... constantly 'GRR well I cant focus on WRITING right now because my lef #t ear feels weird and my socks are too itchy and my back has a strange pressure and I'm vaguely warm and my eye feels some ssort of #way it doesnt normally feel and I'm hyperaware of my breathing and also nauseous for no reason' and like half of those things I #think '''normal''' people wouldnt even notice or at least would be able to just live through. but for me it's like.. nealry impossible to i #gnore and soooo distracting always. like 'wahh.. nooo we can't draw or get anything done.. my legs feel slightly heavy or something!!'#like............. ok......... who cares. thats not even a PAIN sensation it's just something weird. but it's just like.. NO. constant #mental alerts about the 'heaviness' of your legs be upon ye. Though Imean like.. yes.. 70% of the time I am in genuine pain #or having some sort of actual ailment with trackable physical symptoms. but sometimes it's just like... we could totally be working right #now and ignoring this silly thing but my brain is fixated on it for no reason uncontrollably. etc. etc. I guess it's the same way that like #most people can go to a grocery store without the whole experience being so overwhelming and so much stuff going on at once #that they have to rest afterwards but like.. in my own HOME doing NOTHING i feel like I should be able to not get overwhelmed lol. ANYWAY #Rolling my bastard little rock up a dumbass hill and so on and so forth

Hii! I have been recently getting more and more obsessed with your art and webcomic and was wondering if I could use your art as like a profile picture? (With credit!!) If not that's perfectly fine! :)

yeah you can use my art for whatever as long as you're not stealing it or selling it

I don't mind if people print my art out for themselves either. I do sell prints, but it doesn't bother me either way

In general I don't post anything that I haven't made my peace with all that comes with sharing my art publicly! So feel free to use it as you please pretty much.

Giving me credit for the things I've made is respectful and helps me in my career, and I would hope that most people intend to respect my work... And the people who don't respect my work were never going to whether I asked or not.

I make my work for other people to enjoy it, I want you to enjoy it!

#I sort of have a general thought process that like.#the main thing of my work is... my comics!#and thats my writing and my drawing and its these huge longform things #that to be quite honest. would be a ton of work to steal LMFAO #but theyre more intrinsically connected to me #knowing the name of the comics and the characters #looking for more. it's me. like it's always gonna come back to me...#But I also in general as a person... I sort of hate the concept of copyright #it plays at the idea of benefitting artists but the intent is to benefit corporations #and artists get screwed out of owning their OWN WORK for the benefit of said corporations...#The things that copyright are meant to protect are things that wouldnt matter if we werent living in CAPITALISM!!!#I wouldnt CARE if someone stole my stuff if I didnt have to worry about potential lost customers #so. I just try to lead my life and my art in ways that reflect my ideals #which is like... yeah go ahead. use it for whatever #I expect you to respect me and if you don't then I know it doesnt matter what I ask for. because it wasnt going to be respected anyways.#if you feel bad taking my stuff or printing it out yourself or whatever you can throw a couple bucks my way #helps me pay the bills lmao #but if you don't its fine. I'll be okay and it won't ruin me.#asks #anon #this isnot me saying yeah go ahead and steal my art LMAO #this is just like yeah as long as you arent saying or implying you made my work #or selling it when I am selling that same thing (stealing my money from me)#then. like. whatever #doesnt affect me negatively at all. I made my art for other people to enjoy it #I want you to enjoy it!

do i really want to make individual drinks again

#reaching back into the file cabinets of my mind to remember how i made certain drinks when i worked at the cafe #in preparation for the possibility of this new job #it would certainly mean far less goofing off time than i have at my current job. and i value my goofing off time dearly #but the people here are so fucking annoying lmao. i hate them soooo much #not that the people at this new job would be any better. we're still dealing with investment bankers #godddddd. what i really would want (which would be impossible)#would be to go back to working at the cafe but like. still have paid time off and insurance lmao #but the cafe was a small business and he was not offering paid time off and insurance. and the pay was way less #but i did get to play whatever music i wanted. unfortunately you cant live on that #like i can always say no to this new job if its offered to me. but is my goofing off time worth:#2 dollars less in pay and a half hour to an hour's more commute. well i dont know #a shorter commute would mean i could sleep more. and have more time at home .#i mean i probably don't Need all this goofing off time. but its nice #i dont knowwwwwww #like even though im a bit nervous abt doing it again i know that i would easily fall back into the routine of making drinks #which i was fairly good at. my one drawback is that i cant do latte art but i dont know that theyd really care here #and (because i found the menu of where id work) theres not a ton of drink options?? just the standard stuff #its being called a starbucks cafe but 1) its not managed by them and 2) it does not have their 5 billion drink options #so thats good. less to worry about #doesnt look like i even have to make anything foodwise which i had to at the cafe #here it looks like people can just buy a pastry and thats it #the hours are like. the same i work now. also good #sorry im like using this post to think through my thoughts.#uhhhh oh i looked up the manager who looks like a weenie so im not keen on the prospect of interviewing with him #but i probably would have thought that about my current manager if id seen a pic of him prior to interviewing. i guess???#and with these kind of catering units it seems you dont often deal directly with the manager that much anyway #i just gotta see if i get good vibes #rn i have unsure vibes. but i need a sign to see if this could be good for me #oh id also save money on transportation. and taxes! bc i wouldnt be working in ny anymore #lol oops tag limit. well i hope you enjoyed my job thoughts you probably didnt i know i didnt

I am so lucky that the italian version of dunmeshi manga has run out of volume 1 with no current intention of a reprint. If the collection I found at Feltrinelli the other day happened to include all volumes you know I wouldve dumped 200 euros on it like nothing but I'm not gonna spend money on a collection that risks remaining incomplete forever

#I WAAAAANT A PHYSICAL COPYYYYY #is there like an omnibus available in english #whats the name of that in english #something with like. all manga chapters + little infr extras at least #i can deal with not having the world guide + daydream hours (< this is a lie but i can deal with that more than with not having the manga)#meowing to myself #i know they had a big collection of uzumaki by junji ito (which is a thing im deffo going to buy later this year)#you know how im somehow always at work? thats because i have to work extra hours to get extra money #to support my crippling 'having a roof over my head' addiction (literally my rent is half my pay ahahahaha)#but sometimes i get some walking around money to spend on manga #all my other hobbies are cheap! i enter into museums for free because of my job #i buy a lot of used books especially art books first eds cost a lot but used are often cheap and in mint condition #small artists dont have big pricsz #comics is literally the priciest hobby i have whenever i see something full price im like. whew

I always feel bad for being even a little dissatisfied with my circumstances and then I remember that most of the people around me (both irl and online) would probably go absolutely bonkers in my circumstances

#like. i literally have no money. i dont buy things. i dont ask for things #it has always been like this #its not that i dont *want* money- its just that i dont have a choice being disabled and all #and i have all my necessities provided (well most of them) so like. i would feel ungrateful for wanting anything more #and like i dont think i deserve anything 'extra'. anything beyond the necessities because i cant earn it #i cant pay for it myself. so i just dont really think about the things that i want but dont need that much #another thing that would probably drive a lot of people insane is that i dont have any irl friends and dont really leave my house #except for shopping. which is anywhere between once a week and once a month #i have no job- that alone is distressing for a lot of people. unemployment can be very hard on people's mental health #and i mean evidently it is hard on mine as well. but i dont know any alternatives #people like to feel needed. they like to feel like they have a purpose #people going through unemployment often find that they have all this time suddenly but they dont know how to fill it up #all the things they had fantasized about doing are suddenly not that fun because they are the only option #anyways. rant over idk where i was going with this #i think im in desperate need of validation perhaps and im trying my best not to make this about pain olympics #or some weird type of bragging. thats not my intention
