I decide to see if I can get the tie rod off of my car myself today, because it's as nice a day as it can get in December and there is wayyyyy too much play in my steering right now and this car's gonna throw me soon if I don't get it fixed - and I get home to find a flat. I watched that tire sink, so it happened in my yard. It's sliced wide open. So I can't fix that.

I could still (try to) change the tie rod but a) I'm not sure that I can reach a safe place of the frame with my jack because it's a piece of shit and the "good" one won't lift and b) car's currently jacked up and three-wheeled in the opposite corner from the tie rod that needs fixing. I suppose I could put the donut on to do what I originally intended. I guess. I don't know how many possible points of failure I want at a time.

I just ... I just put more money than I had in the brakes and now I need a new tire? I think I'm at the end of my ability to deal with problems right now. I'm going to max out my credit before my car insurance is due next week. Which that is ... well, at least $1800.

Still haven't gotten things figured out with the phone. I can't get my last phone through Metro PCS to unlock to accept the current sim card. Verizon is the one and only cell company that even works where I live, so it's not like I have a choice with whom I use. Be one thing if I could use wifi calling, but I can't.

I had to memorize my work schedule this week and write it down for my boss because I don't know my login information and I can't dick around with my email to get that figured out at work. I just feel like things are a mess right now, and just about all of them are money related. You'd think making twice minimum wage would get me through life no problem. Maybe if I didn't have my chickens or rabbits, but those chickens paid for sooooooo much this summer, it was ridiculous. And what was the point of buying a house with land if I'm just going to sit on my computer chair all day?

genuinely bewildered at how it's just g@merg@te again. like it's just exactly the same strategy, except now it's a cabal of dark and sinister narrative designers instead of "there are women near my games" but it's like the same fucking thing and I'm so tired honestly

at the rate this is going I'm seriously debating not even going to the tour

listen I am about as pro-abortion as anyone can be, but aborting a baby just because they have Down's Syndrome should be fucking illegal. If you're someone who actively wants and is trying for a child, then you should be mentally, financially, and emotionally willing to provide for that child for the rest of your life if something goes wrong- because that is what being a good parent takes, and many many things can go wrong. Down's Syndrome is not at all close to the worst thing that can happen to a baby, and people with it can grow up to be happy, healthy, content adults- they just need a little bit of extra help and a different approach to raising them. If you just want a 'normal' child so that you can boot them out of your house when they turn 18 and have them around to take care of you when you're older, then you don't actually want children, you want an investment. A doll, not a family member. Not a person.

People do know they don't have to buy a Stanley, right? Or whatever the fuck is the current bottle people want. You got your bottle for free in an event in 2015? All the power to you, but if having a cup that matches their outfit makes someone happy, why the fuck do you care????? Are you paying for their bottle? No, you're not. The bottle will still be produced. What's the ethical problem here??? If having a blue cup, and a pink cup, and a cup that makes me look like a koala keeps me going, then it's a necessary purchase. You're not the one spending money on it so why do you care?????????

i am begging people to realize that small companies, like mom and pops, do not have the same technological capabilities as bigger companies! thanks!!!!

Don't know that one. What's it about? What genre? Is it fun?

i’m gonna blow my brothers up with my brain

not rascal's deadbeat owner coming around when im not home and telling my roommate she's taking him for a week (our break is 4 weeks or so, implying he's gonna be back here even though That's Her Cat Not Ours) and then just picking up the new toys i bought for him and taking them with her without even asking. hey. hi. those are mine

Been another week since I emailed the PVG people back to give them the paperwork they always had again and I still haven't heard any updates. Fucks sake I just want to WORK

I woke up and there was Twitter discourse about frank miller and its everyone pretending his art isn't garbage again

y’all I went got pho then went thrifting w my friend and I got such a good haul I’m so happy

I got Beyonce tickets for me, my friend and her boyfriend and she assured me that she would pay me for those two tickets.

I asked for the money once and she said by 10pm, but it’s gone 10pm now and still no money, so I’ve had to ask again and now there’s no reply.

It’s over £200, this isn’t small money. And I don’t want to make it all about money and I hate that I feel bad for asking twice, but I need this money. If it was less, I’d probably be more relaxed about it.

i just can't stand my father's bullshit anymore and i need to vent a bit

feel free to ignore

why when the kid fails parents complain about doing everything for them, but the said "everything" in question is the bare fucking minimum.

if you have the means to support your child financially that's not everything, but rather that's the bare minimum you could do for them.

like, you have children and are surprised when you need to invest money in them? (sorry if the wording seems weird-)

i understand it's frustrating that she failed, especially after you offered her support, but why are you the one who is so mad about this? shouldn't be the child the one bothered by and affected more by her failure?

i would say it's actually a good thing this didn't affect her much and that she also found another way to achieve her dream.

but since she isn't crying on the floor right now to show you how much she is affected by this, it must simply mean she didn't actually want it enough and everything that you did was nothing but a waste.

let's be honest now, you're not bothered because she failed as much as you are bothered that "you lost money" when offering her support.

am i a diluc stan? no, i wouldn’t say so.

am i a diluc enjoyer? yeah, that sounds about right.

do i get massive gender envy from diluc? if we’re talking manga diluc, then yes.

am i incredibly tempted to spend money for the new diluc skin despite never using diluc in game just because it looks something like his manga look? yes.

I need to kickstart myself back into making art more frequently

I've got a few ideas from various October prompt lists but I need to actually make myself do them, being sleepytired after work has just made it hard :(

in the meantime though if anybody wants a commission or to do an art trade or something I'd be down? external pressure to Finish A Thing sure can be helpful
