#25 cent machine
Text
Here’s a collection of Sqwishland (a special interest of mine.) I found this seller who had most of them, but their prices are high so I wouldn’t recommend purchasing from them.
Your best bet is too buy in bulk directly from Sqwishland.com, sadly they’re very expensive too but it’s still a better deal for your money compared to the people who price hike them on second hand sites. Resellers can really bother me :/
Anyway, I like using this blog to document childhood toys that are hard to get your hands on. Reseller slander aside I try to be positive on here so please enjoy these little guys! I loveeee the blue turtle in the fourth picture he’s so cute.

ok its been two weeks but i have been busy. you reblogged a post from me about futurama and said in the tags that you wanted to watch it. and as a self-appointed futurama proselytizer, i am taking it upon myself to convince you further.
i asked my friend, who i convinced to watch this show, for a description and she described it as:
character driven show in which everyone is incompetent but also really smart and that is why it’s funny and they fly around in a spaceship and get involved in things they shouldn’t and it all ends up okay on accident usually
and said it's
witty comedy, dark humor, well fleshed out characters, very clippable
some other fun facts about it:
in the course of writing one episode, the writers came up with and proved a mathematical theorem
source of memes such as "not sure if" and "shut up and take my money"
among the guest stars are:
leonard nimoy (repeatedly)
former u.s. vice president al gore (five times)
conan o'brien
gary gygax
stephen hawking = nichelle nichols
lucy liu
hank aaron
sigourney weaver
bob odenkirk
johnathan frakes
walter koenig
william shatner
george takei
mark hamill
david cross
penn jillette
teller
seth macfarlane
snoop dogg
patton oswalt
buzz aldrin
patrick stewart
larry bird
depending on how you count it, the show has been canceled ether two or three times, and that's not even counting the upcoming revival
i present to you this gif, which i made solely for this ask:
anyway PLEASE come yell at me about this show. my inbox is open.
fdghfj THANK YOU, this was a delightful recommendation! truth be told I already forgot I said I wanted to watch it, so a much needed reminder too, not to mention very effective. despite living under a rock and recognizing exactly two of the aforementioned names (stephen hawking and snoop dog), I have.. acquired the first season. the suicide machine in the first episode immediately reaffirmed that I need this cartoon in my life :3
#futurama#I guess this is a tag now#I think I never got into it because the drawing style doesn't appeal to me as much#but all this trivia I'm learning about it is really really fascinating thank you#ask#suicide tw#I guess??#also why does the suicide machine work with money. what's the implication here#if you're pennyless you're denied suicide too even in a world where it's so normalized it's commercial?#or was the inflation so great during the 1000 years 25 cent is literally worthless and they sweep it on the streets#but then why bind it to money to begin with#the costumer service voice was a delightful touch

obsessed
I know we agree that Eddie would be obsessed with his girl. But I also think, even more than that - he would want his girl to be obsessed with him.
Like, after the initial 'wah I dunno what I'm doing' part of becoming a boyfriend for the first time, of course, because I do think Eddie would be both awkwardly though endearingly inexperienced, and also kinda scared of his feelings finally being reciprocated because now there's actual risk involved. But once he's past that, I think as much as he is just all about you - wanting to be around you, hold you, kiss you, fuck you, sleep with you, just exist beside you - he is even more excited at the prospect that you're all about him.
He wants to catch you looking at him and see it written all over your face, your expression all gooey and gross and totally fucking gone. It wouldn't make sense to him, because, yeah, you do that when he's screaming his lungs out on stage at The Hideout, fingers nearly cramping with his hard he's playing and, before the performance is even half-done, he knows they fuckin' killed it. That makes sense to him But you also look at him like that even when he's doing asinine shit, like picking off his nail polish and balancing the flakes in a pile on his hairy knee, or perching hunchbacked on a chair, muttering to himself as he drafts the next dungeon crawl for Hellfire. You see him at his best and his worst and his weirdest, and you seem to only wanna be closer to him. It's the same he feels about you, but at least with you it makes sense, 'cause you're you. It beats the shit outta Eddie why you're obsessed with him, but he's seen it enough to accept it now.
He starts feeling all warm inside his chest whenever he remembers just how obsessed you are with him. And so then he starts to do whatever it takes to encourage you in that.
Some guys think their girl's too needy? Hell fuckin' nah. Not Ed. You keep pulling him back in for snuggles and kisses and pouty "I'll miss you baby"s when he's been trying to leave the last twenty minutes, and he's just burying his grin in your hair, lapping up every word like a greedy bastard. He doesn't give a shit that he's gonna be late and get an earful from Gareth when you're filling up his chest with ooey gooey warmth like this. Space? Never heard of her. It could be hot as the devil's asscrack in July and he'd let you paste yourself to him. Damn the sweaty skin, the baby hairs tickling his chin, the elbow in his rib. Climb inside his favorite hoodie with him; stretch it all the way out. Make him a permanent one-handed driver by stealing his palm so you can play with his rings and just touch his skin, as if it alleviates some kind of ache in you.
And you best believe that man is determined to delight you. It doesn't matter how much or little experience he's had with other people before; Eddie wants to know how to make you fall apart. He studies your body - spends days between your legs with his mouth and his fingers and his cock, learning exactly what to touch and with what pressure and rhythm. Learning when to ease up and when to press on. Learning what your sounds and your faces and your motions mean. Learning all of you until he can have you coming on his cock in less than five minutes, and on his tongue in less than three, if you happen to be pressed for time. And if you're not pressed for time... Well. Eddie makes sure that each time he gets to really savor you, your obsession with him just grows that much deeper. Once you're coherent and no longer cock-drunk, at least.
Eddie isn't just determined to delight you in the bedroom, either. He'd keep it going all the time, his efforts to ensure you're totally gone on him - buy you cheap things like fake tattoos and ring pops from the 25-cent machines, steal you flowers cut from the yards he passes when he's selling in Loch Nora, leave you little love-heart doodles in your locker and loiter around the corner, waiting for you to find them, just so he can grab you up from behind and gasp against your neck, "Are those from a secret admirer?! Are you cheating on me?!" And as you squeal and giggle and deny it profusely, that warmth returns.
Because Eddie doesn't ever need to wonder about you. For the first time in his life, someone has finally looked at him and said, "Yeah, that freak right there. I'm obsessed with him." And there's no way in hell he's gonna take that for granted.

This April [2021], the Iowa Department of Corrections issued a ban on charities, family members, and other outside parties donating books to prisoners. Under the state’s new guidelines, incarcerated people can get books only from a handful of “approved vendors.” Used books are prohibited altogether [...].
In 2018, the Michigan prison system introduced an almost identical set of rules, and Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Washington have all made attempts to block book donations, which were only rolled back after public outcry. Across the United States, the agencies responsible for mass imprisonment are trying to severely limit incarcerated people’s access to the written word [...].
---
The official narrative is that donated books could contain “contraband [...]" -- the language used in Michigan [...]. This is a flimsy justification that begins to fall apart under even the lightest scrutiny. [...] [Contraband] [...] [is] not originating from nonprofit groups like the Appalachian Prison Book Project or Philadelphia’s Books Through Bars. [....] The old cartoon scenario of a hollow book with a saw or a gun inside just isn’t realistic, and its invocation is a sign that something else is going on.
That “something else,” predictably enough, is profit. With free books banned, prisoners are forced to rely on the small list of “approved vendors” chosen for them by the prison administration. These retailers directly benefit when states introduce restrictions. In Iowa, the approved sources include [B&N] and [B-a-M], some of America’s largest retail chains -- and, notably, ones which charge the full MSRP value for each book, quickly draining prisoners’ accounts. An incarcerated person with, say, $20 to spend can now only get one book, as opposed to three or four used ones; in states where prisoners make as little as 25 cents an hour for their labor, many can’t afford even that.
---
With e-books, the situation is even worse, as companies like [GTL] supply supposedly “free” tablets which actually charge their users by the minute to read.
Even public-domain classics, available on Project Gutenberg, are only available at a price under these systems -- and prisons, in turn, receive a 5% commission on every charge. All of this amounts to rampant price-gouging and profiteering on an industrial scale.
---
The rise of these private vendors has also been mirrored by the systematic dismantling of the prison library system. In the last ten years, budgets for literacy and educational resources have seen dramatic cuts, reducing funding to almost nothing [...]. In Illinois, for instance, the Department of Corrections spent just $276 on books across the entire state in 2017, down from an already meager $605 the previous year. (This means, incidentally, that each of the state’s roughly 39,000 prisoners was allotted seven-tenths of a cent.)
Oklahoma, meanwhile, has no dedicated budget for books at all, requiring prison librarians to purchase them out-of-pocket. [...]
---
These practices become all the more abhorrent when you consider the impact books can have behind bars. By now, the social science on their benefits is well-established [...]. [O]ther inmates have reported that reading meant “the difference between just giving up mentally and emotionally and making it through another day, week, or year,” countering the dehumanizing effects of their imprisonment. A book can offer a brief, irreplaceable moment of calm in hellish circumstances. [...]
[There is] a shameful pattern in American society, where many people simply don’t think about the incarcerated on a day-to-day basis, let alone sympathize with their worsening conditions. [...] One of the most common arguments for the American carceral system, and its continued existence, is that of rehabilitation. According to its defenders, a prison is not simply a place of suffering, where unwanted populations are sent to disappear. Nor is it a callous money-making machine, intended to squeeze free labor from them in a regime of functional slavery. Instead, prison rehabilitates -- so the story goes. [...] In these terms, the basic legitimacy of mass imprisonment, and its allegedly positive social role, is taken for granted. [...] But the practice of book banning exposes the lie. Not only do American prisons have little interest in education, healing, and growth, but they will actively prevent them the moment there is a dollar to be made or an ounce of power to be secured.

I dreamed I was trying to maintain a vending machine I'd installed into a local mall, where you'd put 25 cents in and it'd print out a paragraph of erotica.
I was having trouble collecting all the coins from it, especially with people driving their cars into the mall, and some fuckers with guns trying to rob everybody. Also someone put fried chicken in my coin bucket, which wasn't very sanitary

I’ve summarized the content from the Buddy Daddies Drama CD Vol 1, translated by Marcella!
Thank you Marcella!!! ♡♡♡ and thank you for sharing the audio of Kazuki running and out of breath, I personally appreciate that very much
Now we know Kazuki and Rei’s first time meeting each other went like this:
-
Rei (aka the murder machine) (aka the ‘Elite Rei’) (22 years old) (39 cents to his name) ran away from home, has no money for food so he steals ransom money from these random yakuza thugs he stumbles upon.
Kazuki (25 years old) (widower) (currently drunk) (probably also has around 39 cents to his name) is found by Kyu-chan after a night of unsuccessful gambling and they go back to Yadorigi.
Kazuki has failed so many missions that this new job Kyu-chan gives him (to find Rei and protect him because he’s never lived outside of the family house and his profile says he has ‘zero life experience or skills’ and has a ‘naive view of the world’) is his last chance.
Rei is running away from the thugs when Kazuki finds him and not knowing who he is, Rei runs away from him too. Kazuki chases him, somehow catches up to him (regretting his drunken state). Rei attacks him then pulls out a gun, accuses him of being a competitor and then FAINTS because he’s so hungry.
Kazuki carries him back to his place and makes him food. Rei calls his place dirty and says his food is nothing special. Kazuki explains the misunderstanding and tells Rei he should play the cards he’s been dealt by working for the neighborhood’s boss (Kyu-chan?) and earn money that way instead of stealing it from high risk people (like the freaking yakuza!). Rei thanks him for saving him and takes his advice.
Suddenly the thugs attack and Rei destroys Kazuki’s place with gunshots while defending them.
-
One month later...
Like we see in episode 8, Kazuki walks into the bar and sees Rei looking like a complete mess of a man (but we know from his conversation with Kyu-chan that Rei has completed 30 jobs in one month while Kazuki has completed...?).
A few days later, Kazuki goes to the bar to rant to Kyu-chan about his place being wrecked with bullet holes and Kyu-chan asks Kazuki to pick up documents at Rei’s place since Rei never leaves the house.
Kazuki walks into Rei’s apartment and immediately freaks out and yells about all of the gross old food that’s rotting and mysterious liquids in the sink. He offers to help clean it and Rei is like ‘have fun with that,’ and goes back to playing video games.
~Insert scene in episode 8 where Kazuki cleans Rei’s entire apartment, dunks him in the bathtub, cuts his hair, brings in furniture, and cooks him food~
As they eat, Kazuki complains he’ll never have this nice of a kitchen, and blames Rei for destroying his current place. Rei says, “There are spare rooms left over.“ and Kazuki responds, “You want me to be your housekeeper.“ Which is correct, but he admits it wouldn’t be so bad and they could help each other out - him with housework and Rei with their jobs.
Kazuki accepts he’ll be taking care of Rei for a little while. And then we get:
Kazuki: “It’s a pleasure doing business, shut in.”
Rei: “The pleasure is all mine, freeloader.”
-
Then they proceed to live together, do all of their jobs together, and drink at the same bar together for -THREE YEARS-
I still can’t believe Kazuki tells Miri ‘I’m just crashing.’ (ᗒ ᗨᗕ)
#buddy daddies#anime#kazurei#kyu-chan really put these two disaster boys together and hoped for the best#this entire thing is hilarious!!#I love them so much

Many people don't know this, so um, let me #do you an educate and do some learnin' up in here!!!
Vending machines are a type of machine that "vends" food items in exchange for money, typically in the form of one dollar bills and 25-cent coins. YA GOT LEARNT!!!
Vending machines come in two major varietals: Pepsi and Coke. Pepsi machines feature Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and 7-Up, while Coke machines feature Coke, Sprite, and Fanta. Wild cards include Orange Crush and Gatorade, but you cannot expect these at every vending machine. OH SNAP, did yo ignorant ass get EDUCATED up in here???
Some vending machines have candy and these are the ones you have to watch out for, because the candy can get stuck, and it's tempting to put your arm in to get it out but that won't work. They won't teach you that in school, 'cause they're too busy teaching "calculus". Now, GO FORTH with your KNOWLEDGE'D UP BRAINS and GO LEARN SOMETHING out there, motherfuckers!!!!
#i am summoning something very dark with this post#a very dark genre of post#and i am sorry#incredible#tumblr#long post#every educational post ever made#wow#facts#doin me an educate#heckin good doggo knowledge

For the past year and a half, residents near Old Mill Drive and Bloor Street West have had to contend with a rather disruptive addition to their neighbourhood.
In March 2022, the city commenced a storm sewer project to put an end to local basement flooding. According to the City of Toronto, a micro-tunneling boring machine was about 95 per cent done its job when it became ensnared in steel rods.
The initial cost to retrieve it was pegged at $9 million, but that has since nearly tripled to $25 million.
