every day i wake up and have to contend with the fact that i might never find that one dave foley show with an episode where the rest of the kids in the hall show up as his high school goth bandmates
#the hunt is on and will remain on until i find it#i googled it and i was given the option of signing up for a site that swore it had ev-er-y-thing you could possibly want#then you google that thing and it's like 'this is a great media site that has absolutely nothing. nada. we've got summaries and that's it.'#it was hilarious#you're right good sir please trick me into giving you my data lol#this is what i would do if i was a millionaire#i'd give a shit load to the patreon of people who do lost media videos and have them find it for me#please i just want to see them!#the kids in the hall#spun out#dave foley

I wonder if it haunts Peter that Neal did worse criminal acts for him and the FBI than he ever did as thief
#Criminal neal was scamming millionaires out of money and art#fbi neal infringed civil rights and bribed public officials#fbi neal made a deal with a murderer which he never would have done before#peter was worried about neal corrupting him#meanwhile neal was corrupted right back#peter finally acknowledging what he was doing when he saw diana do it was poetic justice#season 5 i love you even if i hate you#white collar#neal caffrey#peter burke

indeed my exact process once every 8 months or so
#I just thought today of a new way to format a 'profile' (like the descriptions of self that people use on friend meeting#apps and stuff) and how to organize the sections so that it seems such and such a way and oh what if there's links which click off#into branching paths so it's very acessible and there are two different forms depending on so on and so forth#and i was like 'um.. wow. amazing idea. this will be soooo aweseome and will definitely work' but then .. you know...self reflection#lol.. is this just like the millions of other iterations of a similar thing? No.. This Is Different ... Surely...#Though if I had a millionaire friend and a few people who do the type of coding you use for web design stuff and etc..#I could create the most elaborate detailed and amazing platonic friend seeking (and I guess you could also have 'dating' as an option#since that would draw in more of a crowd) website on the earth.. the new okcupid (back when okcupid didn't suckishly abandon their#whole format in hopes of trying to become just like tinder or whatever and they actually had like tons of info and percentages and#open answer questions and would list personality traits on a profile (like 'this person is more Open To New Expereinces than 65% of#other users' etc.). etc. etc. Oh what a beautiful thing I could craft for the detail freaks of the world.... Alas...#unfortunately we seem to be in an oversimplification era.. everything in short quick bites. everything on a tiny phone screen. etc.#marketing 'Introducing The Most Complicated Data Heavy Social Connection Site In The World' would not sell well I'd imagine gjhgjh#AANYWAY.. also no idea why the representation of me is in a turtle neck. what a bold fashion choice..#In another moment of self reflection.. the fact that in the first tag on this post I felt the need to define the word 'profile' just to be#specific as if people couldn't tell from context.. so clearly someone who finds filling out forms a 'fun afternoon activity' lol#the type of guy who finds psych evaluations and pop quizzes and making chore lists mostly enjoyable (< true)

hey when they wrote "knight behind bars" and they wrote kitt helping a couple get together and they gave him the line "Some day, it will be my turn" [to find love]. did they know what they were doing. did they know that in some 40 years some gay autistic robot-obsessed little freak on tumblr would not stop thinking about it for weeks and write literal dozens of paragraphs screaming about it on discord. did they know they were going to ruin Me, Specifically, with this concept that feels like the culmination of everything kitt has gone through through the show and such a fascinating thing to think about in regards to michael and kitt's relationship,
one of the themes of knight rider is kitt developing as a Person, developing a line between the Knight Industries Two-Thousand, and Kitt. discovering humanity, his own emotions, the joys of the seemingly and logically pointless, and often through the lens of his own driver, his partner, his friend, Michael - his primary guide through all these experiences, his reference for those human things he doesn't understand. and as much as he initially claims to not be capable of experiencing emotions, of understanding feelings, he learns to. he experiences a wide range of emotions through the show even while claiming he doesn't, he even learns fear and insecurity. perhaps it's only natural a robot would learn to love, or at the very least be terribly curious about it and wonder if such a thing could ever exist for Him
the majority of people are not exactly kind to kitt. they talk about him like he's not there, they talk about him like he's a machine, a novelty, some people are even scared of or disturbed by him when all he's trying to do is make polite conversation and company. he's always Othered - there's no other cars like him (at least not anymore), but there's no other person like him either, he doesn't truly belong among humans or vehicles. some of the technicians at FLAG don't even seem to fully respect him as a person, at least they don't based on my vague recollection of how they talk about him in Junkyard Dog. when Michael asks him after KARR is destroyed if it feels good to be one of a kind again, he doesn't say yes or no - he only says it's a "familiar feeling." it may be familiar, but it's surely also isolating, and i think that's something he'd realize as he slowly picks up this curiosity about love. where could he even find it when so few people see him as an equal person to begin with?
and then there's michael. oh my god, and then there's michael. no matter what flavor you choose to read it in, the whole show is about their relationship, they're a duo, a set Not to be separated, they're Partners. they work together, they worry about and look after each other (forever insane about when kitt was a melted shell, Michael stuck around the garage for hours, waiting for any news like a worried spouse, constantly checking on him every opportunity he got... encouraging him to recover, and even helping paint back on his protective coating... kitt always looks after michael, but for once, it's michael's turn to look after Him), in a way they were Made for each other - Kitt more literally, being programmed for Michael and holding his namesake, but Michael was also made in a sense for the pilot program, hand picked and given a second life to work for the foundation and with this strange supercar. and even if they had a rocky start, michael comes to view kitt as a person - car, TV set, or computer core, Kitt is his partner, his buddy. he helps him find himself, guides him and teaches him about these things that make us human, and in a way, kitt becomes human - but his entire experience is still through the perspective of an AI in a car, it's still very unique and isolating, and I think he sort of grows into his own limitations, he's finally brushing against the walls that define him.
he learns of love, and then he learns to dream Of love. these things he sees in the movies, that michael tells him about, that he so often sees michael Partaking in that he gets so oddly jealous of, doesn't it all seem so wonderful? he's very curious. but who could ever love steel and circuitry, who could ever see him as an equal let alone a partner in a romantic sense? who would ever love a car and all the limitations That comes with? it's a problem for a hypothetical hopeful Some Day, in the meantime stuck between two worlds where he doesn't perfectly belong to either, where no car Can love him and no human seemingly Would love him...
and michael loves him anyway. before either of them really realize or talk about it, in spite of everything, in any form, regardless of the fact it wouldn't be a typical relationship by absolutely any means, michael loves him anyway. kitt is as much a person to him as bonnie or devon or RC, and that person is someone he loves and cares for deeply. the feeling is mutual, kitt's world revolves around michael, he's one of the most important people in kitt's life, and he'd do anything to protect him.
and it is michael that will finally teach him to love, and what it means to feel loved in turn, to be loved as the person he undoubtedly is.
#liz blogs#kr#knight rider#michael knight#kitt#robots#gay#this isnt writing. its rambling. its very insane rambling.#WHAT is the ship tag. i dont even know. fuck it we ball#michael x kitt#sure#knight rider spoilers#i saw someone make up a really good one but i cant remember what it was-- oh my god was it MK2000. was it. was that iT-#mk2000#retroactively gonna go tag all the fruity posts with that i dont care#do not even get me started on michael learning to love for the first time in This lifetime. ... literally dont get me started i havent seen#the last stevie episode yet. thats next weeks crying fit. but i feel like that's a piece i need#but stevie was michael Long's girl. part of His life. michael Knight can't go back to that. and maybe he Shouldn't#listen. its about michael teaching kitt to love. and kitt Letting him learn to love Again. something real besides his weekend flings#i need a lobotomyyyyyyy i need an ice pick to the brain i need to stop being completely fucking insane about robots#IF BEING INSANE ABOUT FICTIONAL ROBOTS WAS A JOB I WOULD BE A MILLIONAIRE#anyway michael is bisexual and a dashboard smoocher thanks for coming to my ted talk#homosexuality is rampant in the military jerry. thats a bisexual if ever i saw one. have you seen the way he dresses. he calls his car baby#if you dont watch knight rider and you read this i'm sorry i must look deranged#this ship is queer flavored even besides the fact its two guys. there's like four levels of queer flavoring in this bitch

#on Friday one of my students was like 'are you a swiftie' and i said yes#and this one boy was like i have never heard you mention her#and i gave myself a mental high five for my own restraint#i have really tried to tamp down on that this year because things just get out of hand too fast otherwise#then of course 6th period came around and my defenses were gone and it was Friday and several students were gone#so I spoke on her and what I believed her legacy would be lol#and then I felt really bad about that decision :((((( for some reason#the kids loved it. but that is no sign that it was the right call!#anyway still reflecting#i did love that the student didn't know#i really want to be restrained both in general but especially about Taylor in my professional setting#and just. not be opening myself up to needless barbs about her but also not alienating people?#i HATE alienating people i want to reach all of them and the less I have standing in my way the better#so kind of constantly diffusing what threatens to blow up out of proportion#is like. half of my job#another student asked me immediately afterwards if i liked Kanye and i said gently that i did not know Kanye's music so i couldn't tell him#but like. i'm not getting into it you know? i'm not getting into the Taylor Culture Wars or whatever. I will not fan the flames of that#with students especially. but also i do care about her she's such a real part of my heart and my outlook#that sometimes I feel compelled to speak!#and just let them know what's going on in my heart#but yeah. as with many feelings relating to Taylor i often feel bad or foolish immediately afterwards for being vulnerable#kind of no position more vulnerable than taking the side of a millionaire pop star that people love to hate on#kidding!!! but I mean it's not wholly untrue#i like to think i try to move the space of the conversation immediately into something both grounded and relevant#when I do bring her up. and hopefully away from the worst bits of the inflammatory nature of Taylor discussions.#i hope it's healing for somebody/does any good.#but i have no way of knowing#i'm just rambling. it's saturday night and i had half a very strong drink#so my mind's just mulling.

Dex says:
Eat The Rich✨✨
#kotlc#dex dizznee#book one through four dex#dex is me fr#I hate the rich#specifically the mega-rich#like the millionaires and billionaires#if I think about it hard enough I think I would hate the elves#because like#what are you doing??#yall could solve world hunger for humans#end all wars#and you just#don’t???#‘ohh the humans betrayed us all that time ago’ get over it#y’all are the superior species?? act like it?#‘what if the humans use our technology for evil’ don’t let them?#elves are so much stronger than humans#like y’all could just enslave the humans to make sure they don’t#I would be fine with being enslaved if the elves pay for my healthcare#and my education

I know I have friends here who absolutely love Simon so I have to update that he needs some good vibes sent his way.
His absolute dumbass one braincelled self has gone and eaten something he was not supposed to and it’s caused an intestinal blockage and he needs to have surgery tomorrow to get it removed.
It’s not surprising. He’s got some PICA tendencies but it IS frustrating and it IS expensive and I’m mad at him for being too stupid for self preservation.
I know he can’t help it. His brain is pea sized. But my god. There’s absolutely no intelligence behind his eyes and now it’s costing me a lot of money to save his dumb life. Hoping he didn’t kill any of his intestines because of this.
#Simon posting#send vibes#or monies lmao#good thing I have a credit card I guess bc idk what else I would do#I guess pray GME goes to the moon and I become a millionaire or something on 10 shares idk#but I’m a dumbass and used robinhood and have since learned that was a poor decision#and the chances of me moving anything over to a more trustworthy platform and book it before the 21st is…#it’s probably not gonna happen bc these things take time#so here’s to me learning but boo for me not learning fast enough for this thing.#anyway

The thing I still do not understand about this whole movie debacle is why they did not choose to do the filming during free practice..like ok, if you absolutely must suck musty geriatric abuser dick and doing something sensible like constructing the race scenes via CGI is out of the question, there are still ways to do it that don't involve putting a civilian in a race car in actual race conditions in a formation lap (and potentially with protesters on track too??). How did anyone greenlight this at all
#i'm still shook and in disbelief like what do you mean they're putting him in the formation lap#literally NOBODY watching the movie would be able to tell the difference come on it is still the real cars on the real track ffs#it reeks of those billionaires throwing money on that submersible just to prove they can buy ''the authentic experience''#not because it makes sense but for some ego stroking trip just to prove that they can#yeah yeah the criminal millionaire sport is not the place to look for morals obviously. still at least pretend you care about safety though#like a kid died last week. idk#i wanna say more but the things i wanna say would get me banned on this site so#*p*

where are all the furry millionaires and how can I find them so I can study what art they like and start churning out stuff that they'd wanna buy
#my diary#I'm very serious#I need a furry patron and I'm willing to do what it takes... I think?#I don't 100% know what it entails if I'm honest#I feel like the opportunity for millionaire furries to manufacture their own art factory would in and of itself have a certain market appea#I hear they're really nice! I'd like that!#I dunno much about furry art outside of 'think of an animal then make it a cute girl' but I'm open to learn#especially for a regular stream of cash#for nice people to throw money at me I'm willing to hear out a lot of potential labor options

what i dont get with the colleen ballinger alleged grooming accusations is if you wanted to brush all of this under the rug why in the fuck would you make an earworm of a song to do it? i have had the chorus stuck in my head since it came out, and every single time it gets stuck in my head, i’m reminded about how much of an evil creep she is.
#charlie.txt#did she think this was her high school musical moment where she gets to sing her feelings and then the crowd goes wild?#did she think it would remind everyone why they liked her in the first place?#or did she know this would be poorly recieved and thought any publicity is good publicity?#was this just attention seeking where she knew it would make the internet blow up?#did she want to be deilberately shocking?#i cant decide if this move was a blind delusion that people would like it or a calculated manipulation where she knew it wouldnt go well#ive also seen theories — and i want to emphasize the word theories — that she put it in a song so she could copyright claim other creators#talking about it and using her music so she could make a last little bit of cash before running for the hills#i cant remember what video it was but adam mcintyre was talking to someone and noted that she was on stage at that very moment doing a#liveshow. was it the h3h3 podcast??#or was he talking to the man who went on tour with her who cody desoto abused?#sorry i feel horrible for not knowing his name off the top of my head but knowing his abuser’s#idk if she’s still doing liveshows but her major sponsors have pulled back so#girliepop is gonna have to dust off her CV#i mean she’ll probably be fine. she’s likely a multi millionaire#but anytime anyone interacts with colleen ballinger and she gets googled#its this whatll come up.

I thing Marvel missed an opportunity to make Steven grant a millionaire in the mcu.
All the jokes about: you never see Steven Grant & moon knight in the same room.
#Imagine he is at a gala or something & then a bad guy showers up panic people scream the lamp is on fire...#Bad dude is having a monolog & bam moon knight beats his ass...#After everything is under control people ask Steven where he was... “uhhh I was... Hiding in the toilet... Because I was scared”#Because this is was millionaires are doing hiding in the toilet...#I love London sweet boy Steven from the mcu... He is awesome.. He needs to be protected...#But sometimes I wonder what would have happened if it would be a bit more comic akkurat#Anyway... Random purple thought#moon knight#steven grant#moon knight comics

We could've had a season-long Nathan/Simi romcom with mistaken identities; candle-lit discussions of leadership styles; mutual recognition of anger as a totally valid respond to oppression and abuse; scenes with Sam ranging from hilariously awkward to achingly heartfelt; and a diorama of Simi's kitchen.
#ted lasso#nathan shelley#simi#i don't have anything against sam x simi other than the usual 'don't date your employees' thing#but i think a nathan x simi arc would have solved some of this season's problems#like sam having very little to do#or nathan just not appearing in whole episodes#or simi not having a last name or a backstory#i'm not arguing for a love triangle by any means#more of a wacky farce situation where nathan and simi don't immediately grok their shared connection to sam#there's a some close calls where sam and nathan just miss running into each other#maybe facilitated by a pair of swinging doors?#it's a very sweet undefined friendship between nathan and simi until the restaurant's soft opening party#which simi invites nathan to because schmoozing is her least favorite part of the job#and as confident as she is in her culinary skills#she is still a young professional and 'how to make high stakes small talk with millionaires who can make or break your career'#was not something her university course thought to include#so nathan shows up and he opens the door to find the entirety of afc richmond and trent crimm for god knows what reason#he bolts because he wants to survive the night#cue hurt feelings on both sides followed by the start of an actual romance#which sam now knows about#he Has Opinions about the age difference which spiral into sam mourning the loss of his first adult romance#made all the more complicated by the one-sided nature of that relationship created by the power rebecca holds over#sam's life and livelihood (including where he works and lives)#meanwhile simi and nathan go on parallel professional journeys hand in hand#maybe they stay together long term#maybe their romance lasts as long as this phase in their lives#but in any case they're friends for life#also what if nathan was sitting on a counter while simi was developing a dish#and she got a stain on her uniform and he spot treated it with common kitchen items and then they kiss?

Everyone says that dragons can’t have 4 legs bc it doesn’t make sense skeletally but REAL flying lizards have 4 legs and wings???
AND. a little flag
Take THAT, America!
#haters will stay you can’t elongate your thoracic ribs#and I can do one even better - what if they develop a joint and can flap them in a couple thousand years?#and then they’ll be the top predator and grow bigger#and then we will have dragons#if I were a millionaire one of my projects would be the selective breeding of flying lizards into dragons fs#rambles

so so so fucking tired of people who perceive working in an office as the only “”real”” jobs
#the equivocation of ‘’professional’’ to ‘’white collar’’#the way people treat those schedules as ‘’the normal one’’ when there’s millions of people working outside those#me every weekend for the past seven months: i only have sunday off#my friends every time we want to hang out: can we do saturday instead uwu#and just the disparaging attitude ‘’business culture ‘’ has towards literally any job#tbqh i would rather die than work in marketing and that is. from what i can tell. most of the jobs available#in an office setting#idk maybe this is my outside opinion but a lot of those jobs feel superfluous or like. making their own problems to solve#like that post about the leftist commune where everyone was like ‘i can do admin and project management’’. how is that useful#it just feels very much like the american ideal of ‘if you work very hard you can be a self made millionaire’#is a lot more prevalent among that class#and like i know it’s also a matter of ‘i make more than you so i’m more important. skill issue’#but idk i just have the perception that i’m ‘’supposed to’’ go into a field i have no interest in and i’m Doing Something Wrong#and making my life unnecessarily hard on myself. because i have no interest in it#rant paused bc i’m gonna be late to work if i keep going lol#mine
