You know frankly at this point if you don't understand that the screen actor's guild isn't just A-Listers who can ""afford"" to be exploited then like. That's not only a You problem but You're not even worth arguing with. Trying to make the case that it's okay for like, Margo Robbie to have her image AI exploited until the end of time because she has a high net worth is a morally indefensible position even before the actual fact that most actors are Not rich, and not only do the A-Listers have the right to participate in the strike but they actually NEED to participate, because if it was just the collective background actors striking Hollywood would replace them all with scabs by exploiting Different young people who want to make it in the industry. The A-Listers aren't replaceable. By joining the strike they aren't being Greedy, they're helping protect other actors. But also they had the right to good working conditions in the first place!! They have a right to control their image and for their work to be treated with respect!
#also they actually are WORKING for the money they're making#these aren't billionaires people the difference between like a actor who is worth 10 million or 20 million dollars or even 100 million#is still WORLDS away from a BILLIONARE#some people do not understand the difference between a million and a billion dollars#these are not the Elon musks of the world#these are not the rich people you need to be angry at#sag aftra

its so hard out here for a guy who hates paying 50 dollars for a game and not getting a physical copy of it
#and i thought having to see people playing frontiers at midnight when i had to wait a few more hours was hard ...................#stay strong physical edition warriors .......#well its not even just that i also just didnt think any of the digital deluxe bonuses were worth the 10 extra dollars#like the terios model is ugly and idc about the movie stuff#and i dont really see the point of a digital art book . art books are only good as physical books in my opinion

I can’t wait to see how badly this new business venture of Watcher’s fails. I hope Steven, Ryan, and Shane’s America centric self obsessed asses lose everything and I hope Steve has to sell his Tesla and bullshit matcha machine and the others have to downsize whatever else bougie shit they have and LEARN how valuable $6 is, not just in the US but everywhere else. This is going to crash and burn and I can’t wait to see the decline.
#watcher#edited to include the rest bc the Steven Lim hate is getting a little much. he’s the CEO and Silicon Valley prick#but hes not the mastermind behind the whole ordeal.#fuck Ryan and Shane too bc they could have said no#I know Steven runs the business but they’re big boys#fuck most of Watcher’s staff too bc tell me why one of the employees told someone on Patreon their money wasn’t worth the channel’s time#I hope that single social media manager that wasn’t on board gets out of there before things get really bad bc there WILL be layoffs#also that whole ‘anyone and everyone can afford this’ line was laughably appalling#’how much is one banana? 10 dollars?’ sounding ass#like there’s no coming back from this it’s insane they didn’t even THINK to run it by the fans

damnnn i'm disappointed in the watcher crew (aka the old buzzfeed unsolved guys). they're taking ALL their content off of youtube and creating a 5.99/month streaming service when they don't have nearly enough content to come close to justifying this move
#not to mention most of their fanbase are either teenagers or broke young adults#or the fact that in other countries with currency that doesn't hold a candle to the american dollar in worth it's more like a $10 a month#and they're trying to be like we're doing this for you!! Like no babes this was for you

barnes and noble has been raising the prices of everything and further pushing for their premium membership option (which they raised the price of by 60 percent this year!) and then when they have big sales events, they're less than what they used to be.
last year at this time you could get one of their leather-bound book annex tomes for $12.50 (without a member discount) because of the 50 percent off all hardcover sales. but they raised the price of those tomes from 25 bucks to 30, and they decreased the sale from 50 percent off all hardcovers to 1/3rd off. so that same book that was $12.50 at last year's end-of-year sale is now 20 bucks. and that's supposed to be savings enough to induce me to walk into one of their stores this week?
i'm sorry but b&n has just gotten so greedy, even though their business has only been doing better and better in previous years. they do not have to be raising prices like they have been, and they can damn well afford to have the same savings events they used to. if you went to one of those hardcover sales a year or two ago, even if you lived in a less populated area like i do, you had never seen a b&n so busy in your life. things were flying off the shelves. they WERE making bank.
and as a company they've only been growing and growing (as much as the publishing industry has been, in recent years). but there are so many other ways to buy books. CHEAPER ways to buy books. MORE SUSTAINABLE ways to buy books. and since books and booksellers are doing really well right now, i don't see why barnes and noble is getting so greedy when they don't have to be. i dont like new shiny books that much. people buy books for the content, ultimately. sometimes we as consumers might make the choice that a new shiny book is worth paying a bit more for, but not that much. barnes and noble has just been demanding more and more of their customers' money for less and less benefit.
#kaily and i shared a membership account for several years but she cancelled it over the summer#bc of them raising it from 25 dollars per year to 40. i'm sorry but we just were not spending enough to make that worth it#the benefits for a member used to be 10 percent off everything in-store and free shipping online.#now it's 10 percent off everything in-store AND online with free shipping. which sounds good enough#but not for a 60 percent pricehike. and a bunch of other supposed benefits no one would ask for#like a free tote (geez. thanks. yeah i really need a free tote every year) and like. a free treat at a cafe on your kids' birthday?#i dont have a kid.#between the two of us. we were not buying 400 dollars worth of stuff at b&n every year#oh and it's also 10 percent off the in-store starbucks. but im pretty sure that USED to be a benefit they had#years ago?? like i SWEAR ive gotten money off at the b&n starbucks so i guess they got RID of that at some point#and gave it BACK when they HIKED UP THE PRICE TO 40 BUCKS A YEAR#text post#barnes and noble#it's a shame bc where i live. barnes and noble is the only like fancy bookstore#and i live in an area that my barnes and noble... is like. what a boston barnes and noble eats for breakfast.#it's two floors. there are plenty of books that it doesn't have. plenty of sections that are very small#like the poetry section is just pathetic. i look at it every time i go and it just makes me sad.#i guess a lot of the book annex stuff contains poetry but still that's not really enough to entertain a rich interest in the genre for long#i outgrew the limited selection at my own local b&n poetry section by the time i was twenty. i was like i already know everything here.#which isn't to say i'm an expert in poetry. it's to say that the poetry section is barely bigger than a shelf#in fact ive never thought about it before but I OWN more poetry books than you'll find in the poetry section#at my local b&n. lol#i have a lot of nostalgia for b&n even though it is a big company that does not love me. i have very few books i bought new#that are not from barnes and noble. i got so many books that changed my life from them#i guess it's like a childhood/teenage attachment at this point bc ive had more mixed feelings abt the direction theyve been taking#for several years at this point.#and no i dont mean that theyve been expanding to selling more toys/games etc. theyve literally always done that in my lifetime. who cares.#they still have books#as an adult ive been more capable of seeing how limited their book selection is and how i have so many problems w that.#and it ultimately comes down to them being a big greedy company

if a game costs 20 dollars it should be equivalent in quality to 6 undertales. this is perfectly achievable.
if a game costs 40$, it should be equivalent to at least 13 undertales. this is harder to accomplish but well within the power of devs who care.
no game should cost 60$.
#undertale is a very useful metric for game quality i think#for instance: mass effect legendary edition is 9$. that’s equivalent to 3 undertales. just one mass effect game would be worth 3 undertales#and you’re getting all 3. that’s a good price in dollars per undertale.#or lets look at portal. portal is 1 dollar. so is portal 2. that’s the equivalent of 1/3 of an undertale.#but id say portal one IS worth at least 5 maybe 6 undertales. and portal 2 is worth 10 or more undertales.#starfield is 50$. that’s 16 undertales. do you know how many undertales starfield is actually worth? none.#you are now educated in how game pricing works. go out into the world and be prosperous

prescription drug prices in these united states are so bizarre. each single dose of my migraine meds is over $100. like it’s 5 mg. that much gold would cost 31 cents.
#‘your insurance saved you $692 dollars on your medication (singular) this month!’#i mean that’s great and well worth the six months of suffering i spent on five meds that didn’t work to get through your fail first plan#but like you are actually like half of the problem here#i’m fuckin stockpiling this before insurance changes their formulary again i will take expired ones for 10 years i don’t even care

Still completely and truly baffled that Matthew “photomatt” Mullenweg blocked me. And he chose to block me rather than annihilate my blog from orbit. Me, a transmasc person.
#also extremely funny that I specifically have been annoying enough#that someone worth millions of dollars and OWNS THE FUCKIN WEBSITE blocked me#new conversation starter: ‘yeah the founder of WordPress has me blocked on social media.’#max says things#tori says things#tumblr bullshit 2k24#I’m so sorry this is going to become part of my personality for the next 7-10 business days

Barbara 'Oracle' Gordon first appeared in Detective Comics #359 "The Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl" (1967). This means Babs is worth one sixth of Steve 'the Bionic Man' Austin, otherwise known as the Six Million Dollar Man. Additionally, DC released "Superman: the 10 Cent Adventure" in 2003. Adjusting for inflation, that would mean that in today's money Barbara Gordon is worth $9,122,814.37, and Clark Kent would be worth 91 Cents, meaning Barbara Joan Gordon is worth ten million Supermans. As she fucking should be.
#clark kent the type of man who thinks no person can be given a number to decide their worth#but when pressed he would say superman is worth 91 cents#barbara gordon's the type of woman to think she's worth 10 million dollars#and probably spends that much every year cleaning up the bats'/bop's/jla's/her own messes or buying a private jet#barbara gordon#batgirl#dc oracle#oracle#babs gordon

Ok updates I’ve found on acpc apparently it’s just a one time purchase of the app because you don’t make online purchases in the app.
That makes sense but it’s still fucking stupid. I’m still gonna lose all the furniture and shit I had before I’m still gonna have to start the fuck over
Edit wait no
SO WHY NOT JUST UPDATE THE FUCKING GAME INSTEAD OF MAKING A WHOLE NEW ONE
#I am probably gonna get it cause I already use it a lot and I think it’d be worth it#but I’m gonna be mad at it anyways#there’s a preorder for 10 dollars which is better than 20-30#dude no ones gonna pay 30 fucking dollars for an online app

NOOOOOO i caved and decided i would just buy the lps from the target website anyway and they decided to go out of stock as i was about to check out. throws up
#the world really does not want me to have these things.#well theres still some left but all i really wanted was some blind boxes and one of the 3 packs#the 3 pack i wanted is still there but the blind boxes are sold out#and i really dont think its worth buying 35 dollars worth of stuff i wasnt planning to get just to get the 3 pack thats only 10 dollars#(target website will only allow you to get certain items if you buy 35+ dollars worth of stuff. which includes all lps they had)#i guess ill just wait for them to show up in person somewhere.... IF that ever even happens#because theres only one singular target anywhere near me and its not close enouhg for me to be able to go check every few days#so theres always a chance that they never get them or they do get them and everyone else beats me to it#whateverrrrr . its not like i dont have any lps im just really excited that theyre finally making new ones again#and seeing people all over my youtube recommended getting them#(whether its because they actually bought them or because the company sent them a bunch for free)#is just making me more annoyed that i cant find them anywhere

In the past few months I have found in my work register, not one but three coins that were not intended for circulation and were only ever made available via purchasing from the Royal Australian Mint. While this is cool for me because I love collecting coins but don't have enough disposable income to justify buying the collector-only ones, it is also bittersweet. These coins aren't even listed in my coin collecting book because it is that unlikely to find them in your change. These are not coins that, after a certain amount of time, the sets that didn't sell were separated and released into circulation, nor are they ones that are meant for kids who sometimes spend the coin not knowing it is special (I've still got my fingers crossed for finding a tooth fairy coin). These are coins that were made for collectors and bought by collectors, which means there are two most likely reasons I have suddenly found three in such a short period of time:
Someone has had their house broken into and their collection stolen, and whoever did it doesn't realise the coins can be sold on ebay for a few times their face value;
People have fallen on such hard times that they are needing to spend their collection and don't have the time or ability to sell them online
Neither of these reasons are good, so, yeah, bittersweet. I'm happy to have some new coins to add to my collection, but it's also a bit sad to think of why these collector-only coins are turning up.
#personal#coin collecting#the one I found today was just a normal dollar coin#but it was so shiny that I thought it may have been a new one with Charles on the heads side#then I saw it wasn't new at all#I saw the 1987 date and immediately looked it up#no way would a coin that old be so shiny if it wasn't special in some way#and yeah#turns out the only dollar coins produced that year were made specifically for mintage sets that you had to buy#not worth a lot at the moment (maybe $10 for the single coin)#but still worth keeping
