one crazy night shift and six hours of sleep later, and i'm just now realising that i agreed to pay for a taylor swift vip ticket just so i could make my bff happy
#my bff recruited me to help buy tickets for her and her coworker#and usually i'm very successful at getting the best tickests#but yesterday? i joined the waiting room ag least half an hour before the sale#and then theybassigned everything a random place in the queue and i only got onto the site thirty minutes after the sale started#and all the tickets were gone#my friend was still in the queue#we were on the phone the whole time#i could tell she was about ti cry because she wanted to go so badly she's been waiting to see taylor live for lore than ten years#i told them there were still vip tickets available and her coworker went 'nope not worth it' which is totally fair#my friend said she would pay for a vip ticket but she doesn't want to go alone and she said she'll just have to wait a few more years#and apparently i'm a big softie because i said 'fuck it i'll go with you' and bought tickets for both of us#we can both afford it but damn that vip merch better be amazing#we got the side pit but we also got early entry#never bought a vip ticket before and i think they're so expensive they should be illegal#but i made my friend's day#her year probably#at least i won't have to pay for a hotel since she lives in munich#now i just hope i get a couple of days off from work next year

The complete walkthrough is too huge a video so here are just select highlights from our friend demonstrating her homemade escape room, really just three or four of a dozen puzzles @revretch and I found really fun and engaging! Friend is in engineering and spent her entire summer on just the light up map alone so I'm including her entire explanation of that part uncut. She isn't on social media but she hopes she gets nice comments and feedback anyway!
Reblog if you agree with us that she should consider doing this professionally, especially since this is a glimpse at how much she managed to build around a packed college schedule???
#we also stayed the night because it's a long drive home#and this was the guest room#so we also got to sleep in the haunted doll puzzle :)#halloween#We solved the whole room in an hour with just us two compared to the usual groups of four who took about the same amount of time#at least that's what she says I dunno if she's just being nice!!#but we were definitely proud of ourselves for figuring out the spider egg sac phone number puzzle as smoothly as we did#on the other hand this was after we already tried every single numerical puzzle in the room as a phone number already

the company i work for decided that its switching from the german formal "You"(Sie) to the informal "you" (Du) in all of our websites so now we have to scour the entire database to change it and i quite frankly hate that, not just bc the unecessary extra work but especially bc its such a weird and unecessary change
i bet its bc everything here is getting englishfied (both literally and culturally it feels like, when my new boss talks its half in english bc every second german word is just replaced by an english one despite there being perfectly fine words for it in german too, its so annoying) and bc they want to sound more personal in hopes of getting more clients bc 'company is your fwiend uwu!!', i know this here is the amercian tm site so you wouldnt understand really but i do not want to be greeted with 'du' by companies, no, thats too personal, you dont know me and im not giving you my data, stay away!!
i guess thats how i would describe it .. the formal you is like a polite distance, like someone you dont know staying outside your personal space, but when its the informal 'you' it feels invasive unless i told you you can call me that, and that goes double for companies
maybe its a small thing that doesnt seem important but i cant stand it, im just a little part time worker doing data work so i got no say in it but the companies founder also announced hes giving his post to his kids some time ago so ...... since then theres been alot of changes and new projects that solely aim to imitate whats popular and whats done by other companies, despite ours being one that is, or used to be, intentionally different, like, that was the POINT, but i guess chasing trends is just too appealing for CEOs
#ganondoodles talks#personal#rare personal rant#theres more and more changes that feel so weirdly forced#like man#i thought being different was the whole point#like climate and ethics are .. or were .. the core idea and now i guess its just fine to do whatever conventional companies are doing#yeah woohoo lets also do an app thing that forces people to sign up if they want reasonable prices!#smartphones the standard everwhere!#who needs anything physical if you can put it in an a phone so syphon off data directly out of people fingertips!! yea!!!#lets use AI pitcures bc we refuse to hire more graphic desingers and they are jsut so overworked uwu#climate? ethic? whats that#argh#sorry this needed to get out#recently had a stupid conversation with a coworker bc i asked them why we are okay with AI shit now when it goes against what this-#company was presumably founded on#and he was rly defensive and said welll we dont have time and its cheap and also maybe we should got WITH the time#like that last thing especially pissed me tf off#but i cant afford to lose this job#im starting to hate it more though so the dream of being able to stay like this might not be real#i cant get a job in this place that is as nice to my mental health so idk man#i wish i was good enough at merch and online stuff so i could live of that#but even trying to find out how taxes work on that stuff is a nightmare to me

not bisexual but i do respect the culture 💗💜💙
#corey#slibbs#this is the part where a responsible blogger would say for legal reasons this is a joke. i say let em sue#happy bi visibility to you bisexual such n suches in my phone i love what youve done to the place#<- the place being metal#i wanted to get a better unhighlighted screenshot of that bit from seven deadly sins#but it looks way funnier with this piece of text being like we were bad...the rebels...the outcasts of a generation...#and a big jarring orange 'fag' right in the middle. i have the humor of a boy watching ben 10 for the first time#ALSO GUYS. AM I CRAZY. AM I BATSHIT FUCKING INSANE. OR DID THE SIC LYRICS CHANGE#FROM FAGGOT TO FUCK IT. LIKE HAVE I BEEN MISHEARING THIS SONG THIS WHOLE TIME OR ? ORRRRR ?#I COULDVE. SWORN. IT SAID FAGGOT. I FEEL CRAZY#im gonna consult my cd about this

I was watching the pre teens today (normally I'm with the teens) and they were being fucking crazy so I asked one of them if they're like that for the normal pre teen staff or if they're just acting like that because I'm there and they said "oh yeah we are not normally this bad" so I asked the room "hey why do y'all act so much more insane for me than the other staff? what's up with that??" and one of them said "it's because we know you can handle it. the other staff give up way faster" LMFAO???
#one of the other kids said to me 'youre so sigma' which i guess is an insult but was really just funny#BUT i took them outside because i was like i need yall to run around and get some of this energy out and they actually PLAYED#normally its like pulling teeth getting them off their phones and engaging with each other (i dont mean this in a boomer way-#I don't even blame them but they do need to have some time where theyre not glued to a screen and they dont often get it)#it made me so happy seeing them like run around and play playground games (normally theyre too cool for that) and like laugh w/ each other!#theres a couple of them that i NEVER see off their phone unless theyre not allowed to have it and none of them even checked their phones#we were outside for an hour i was so shocked none of them picked up a phone at any point#sucks its getting cold now because id like to do that with them more often! they clearly enjoyed it and it got some of the energy out#just warms my heart seeing them all have fun together<3 until one of them got upset and that was a whole thing but mostly was great

Aaah. So it's neverending huh.
#my dad had been bugging me about getting a raise for months#it took me a while to actually find who to email to ask and how to go about it too.#but i did it! and i went from 19$ to 20.72$#and i was happy with that#and originally i wasnt going to tell my dad but he wasnt letting up about it and when i told him the numbers#he was dissappointed.he told me he spoke to people working from another company and they make 25#this was while i was stuck out on the supposed to be a hike but was actually hunting trip#now i just feel bad about it again. and i cant get my good feeling back goddamnit#i know its out of love/concern because hes very financially very successful and its tough seeing your kids work so hard and still be poor#but hey im now technically making 40 cents less than your daughter whos a doctor.#you graduated during a time where universities had skip days and they were less focused on proper essay formats#you also had living accommodations where apparently you could make your whole rent in a week of work#you also didnt need to pay for internet the way we do#you also had rrsp matching and Christmas bonuses and health insurance and company retirement funds#you had days off. you ask if i get a certain holiday off. like i havent worked full days christmas eve and boxing day the previous 5 years#also gas probably wasnt 80$/week just to go to and from work#and thats if you work and live in town#we had a phone call and he brought up my wage again this morning

One time me and a friend were in class together and the teacher was making new seating arrangements and forgot both of us had horrible eyesight and sat us in the back. To be fair to him, one of us wore contacts and he immediately rectified the mistake as soon as the issue was brought up but I find it funny and a little bit sweet because me and that friend were both kinda unsociable and the teacher recognized that and sat us in the back so we could do stuff on our own (especially since we were both studious and never really caused any trouble unlike some of the other kids). I really liked that teacher. He was very nice and good at teaching in an entertaining way.
#weirdocat83 ramblings#I have shit eyesight#and so does my friend#so we were just squinting really hard the whole time#we also tried using our phones to zoom in to see the board#still love that teacher tho#it was an honest mistake#that was very well intentioned#I would have liked sitting alone with my friend#if only we could see :/#bad eyesight is the Worst#glasses

when im in a yearning competition and my opponent is toshiro kasukabe
#persona 5 tactica#toshiro kasukabe#we dont talk enough about how pathetic toshiro is when it comes to eri. he just melts#like he yearned for her SO MUCH during the time period when they were separated#like. he always thinks of her and in leblanc he tends to think about her and he even said he always thinks of seeing her again#its so much to the point the physical manifestation of his soul is LITERALLY HER#THATS CRAZY#sorry just yapping rn#even in the 3rd kingdom the clock is stuck at 6pm (eri train accident time)#he just couldnt move on#toshiro said he keeps thinking about reaching out to eri again. but what about eri#did she think of seeing him again too??#i imagine she tries to reach out every once in a while#but toshiro just. he tortures himself by letting his phone keep ringing with eri on the other line#because he thinks he doesnt deserve to see her again after all that#oh toshiro you dont know how much she loves you. she doesnt hate you at all#and its like. wait I'll try to make this comprehensive#eri found toshiro in their school days. she was the one who came up to him and offered him help#and after the whole train incident toshiro just. pushes himself away because oh god he thinks he did that to her#but no#she finds him AGAIN. and i think thats beautiful#and as toshiro turns around and sees eri THE WHOLE SCENE CHANGES INTO A LIGHT PINK#yes its romantic n stuff but its such a good moment that toshiro realizes that eri still loves him as much as he loves her#AGHHH MY T4TS EVER#and by t4ts i mean toshiros the wife and eri is the husband#its 12am im pulling thoughts from my ass#eritoshi#persona 5 tactica spoilers

the bittersweet but absolute flood of relief that comes from admitting defeat at living independently, to have to move back in with parents. we tried! we gave it our best shot for almost 3 years! but living like this (being on our own) is just not possible for us at this time of our lives. we've finally proved it to ourselves that we can't do it. it'll be okay to let ourselves rest now
#latimers parents not mine!!!! i am NOT moving back to florida LOL#really hope that the changes will be good for my mental health. this apartment is toxic to us#ive been on the verge of meltdowns Kind Of A Lot lately. imnot doing great#extremely dependent on substances. just to reach a baseline level of functioning. but even that isnt working as much anymore#the only things i do on my phone or tablet these days is like. 2 mobile games. and skirting past my dms to check latimers blog#its too overwhelming to even open discord these days yknow. everything on earth is too much for me right meow#i havent been drawing i havent been social online OR irl i havent been cooking or creating#i havent been keeping up with personal hygiene like at all im particularly ashamed about that one#i've been really bad about doing my T the past few months which is a HUGE shame because im SO fucking hyped to be on it#theres just. too many obstacles in getting it done half the time. and the other half of the time i just forget#anyway. anyway.#our lease ends in july so between now and then we're just gonna try our best to tolerate our living situation enough to get by#there's a light at the end of the tunnel. and its called 'i only have to be in charge of like 2 rooms at most. and not a household!'#we're gonna try to slowly comb through all our things between now and then so the process of moving wont suck as bad#cuz listen. its pretty fucking bad right now#maybe not for other people. but it is for me. and its okay to let myself come to terms with that#im just. so relieved. still very stressed! but theres at least light at the end of the tunnel and its only like 2 months away#ill be able to draw guilt-free again. ill be able to just EXIST guilt-free#i dont think ive felt guilt-free for just existing the way i do since like. turning 20#i know my mom wouldve loved if i stayed home forever. and im sad i cant be there for her#but ever since i had a fight with my dad at 15 or 16 it just really felt like he didnt want me there more and more#maybe as the youngest he was resenting that i was preventing him from becoming an empty nester or something. i dont know#because all the other kids had been moved out and on their own at least once but i had never left home before#i dont know if he'd be heartbroken or not to hear that i feeling like he was resenting me. but thats the energy i was picking up for years#i dunno. i dont know#anyway. back to housing. for now im going to try to relax and store energy for the moving process#the huge pile of things by the kitchen? i dont have to worry about that becoming permanent because we're leaving in 2 months#the general discord of the state of our possessions? we have to go through everything to pack it all anyway. we can move in RIGHT this time#when we moved in here we didnt have a car or license so we were dependent on latimers 3-hr-drive-away parents to help us move#just /across town/. and we had a whole month between leases! but it still had to be done in a weekend

sigh someone on twitter extolled the virtues of furiosa and said it was better than fury road. I just saw furiosa. they are wrong.
#the brilliant thing about MMFD was how it needed no backstory.#it required no explanation of who these people were or why they wanted what they wanted#that story gripped you by the throat and pulled you along for the ride and by god you took it#bleh. also I didn't really care for the numbered parts of the story that communicated the passage of time#I guess that's where the “saga” came in but I do think one of my favorite parts of MMFD was that...#it was a contained storyline! there were clearly so many other parts/facets of that world we didn't see#but we didn't need to see them becasue that wasnt the story that film was telling#and I feel like ... I dunno. MMFD was perfect. furiosa was not perfect. furiosa was not needed?#we already knew enough from MMFD about why furiosa had wound up as an imperator#seeing the full story I genuinely don't feel like I gained anything new about her and her character#everything we watch her become (or even begin as) in furiosa... all of it is apparent in MMFD#idk this movie felt extraneous. bummer!#good news is i was really worried about ATJ playing furiosa but she did fine. i have no complaints about her!#anyways anyone who wants to discuss come hit me up in the comments or reblogs or askbox whatever#I wish to dig into this lol#man that tweet got my hopes up. but i did not have the reaction to this that i wanted to have#when i saw MMFD in theaters it was a religious experience. that movie rewired my brain. I'd never seen a female action star like furiosa#all furiosa did was make me want to rewatch MMFR#also jesus christ I just realized I'd been typing MMFD for some reason. lol forgive me I'm on my phone sitting in the theater parking lot#pretend I typed MMFR that whole time

like half the sixth graders are failing english cos the homework is on google classroom and they don't have basic computer skills. like mayhaps we should fuckin teach them basic computer skills
#they get phones. they might get macs#but a windows laptop? wizardry#I asked if they would cover this in computer science and they were like no there's a whole curriculum already#like how exactly the fuck are they accomplishing anything in computer science then#okay so homeroom then. except we have 15 million other things we have to do in homeroom and we're only in there for 40 minutes a day#and today we spent nearly all of that time trying to get them to send one email#during which one kid out of 15 successfully sent an email#so in conclusion I'm going to put the curriculum book in my mouth and shake it like a feral dog. thank you

okay i just watch all seven saw movies and i actually think the key in the bathroom trap was supposed to be a bigger element, like that was adams test to see if he would be willing to help a stranger and someone he has deemed untrustworthy
because any trap that was intended to have survivors was semi-realistic if they could follow all the rules and get everything completed in the time limit
because yeah you can survive an amputation with a proper tourniquet and immediate professional medical care; they were not given tourniquets (unless you want to count them both keeping their shirts?) and the door to the bathroom spits them out into a nasty maze of underground sewer networks
like john either did not intend for survivors or that key was a much bigger deal than everyone let on
#sawposting#saw 2004#like i think lawrences test was what we see in the movie; if he can kill a stranger to save his family#but adam seems like a victim part of lawrences test (like amandas cellmate) but.... if they were supposed to survive the amputation#then i think it would have been more realistic? like they would have been able to get out to the street easily or the phone could call#for real help? unless john was actually trying to recruit lawrence the whole time? idk now im just spit balling
