#not even into inflation either
Text
Sitting in this laundromat and seeing how someone who recently followed me is a Sonic blog, I had a flashback moment.
I remember an episode of like… the old Sonic tv show were sonic basically gets like… really big??? And I had to look it up to make sure that actually did happen, and now I’m like “man no wonder I am how I am now.”
Interesting realizing this stuff in a liminal space such as this 😂
#drabble#weight gain#sonic#like I guess????#not even into inflation either#just happened#there’s other things but that’s definitely part of it hahah

I know this is a very unoriginal observation (much like any other), but I'm finally reading The Great Gatsby, and even I wouldn't describe men the way Nick does.
#queer#lgbt#lgbtq#i did watch the 2013 film for my ap english class though (i think they didn't have enough time left for us to actually read it)#like the way he described tom was very. superfluous in my opinion. something you want to tell the class NICK (joking)#i find myself really partial to the general writing styles of that time though#i haven't even gotten that far in the book either i'm just barely past the part where daisy is introduced#so nick is just waffling about his family history and how he rents for $80/month#which is relatable when you consider inflation. nick i hope you eat you landlord#i can see why people don't like this writing but i am endlessly fascinated by the prose#maybe i should just free myself from the impulse to hide behind layers of self-censorship and live like nick does#tbh tho i still prefer non-fiction and textbooks BUT fiction is valuable and is useful#fiction is like play - it lets you explore different possibilities and thought in a safe environment

So Allegedly Infinite Wealth is 100 hours... not that you can't already spend that long on the games if you really want to, but I'd say it's the first time that could be said to be the base experience rather than a time only hardcore completionists are likely to get.
Yokoyama was talking at length about wanting to make the game worth the price tag since the team is incredibly conscious about the value of the players' time and money. They essentially feel they owe players ten times what they paid, so they're aiming for "an enjoyable 100 hours, but also an unforgettable 100 hours."
If they pull it off, I personally think it'd be 100% worth it and not just a "well other studios are doing it so we can get away with it too" price hike... I'm at least happy to know that's not the intent, and I'm intrigued to see how everything pans out and what the ratio is between story and side content
oh yayaya i saw that article this morning!!! 100 hours is actually so unfathomable to me in terms of an rgg game- i mean y7 was At Minimum around 45~50 hours but when i think of other RPGS that easily dip into 70's and 100's of hours, i'm not too surprised to see LAD start to climb towards those numbers now. it'd be such a jump in rgg's terms tho, so i'm TRULY curious to see where the nearly doubled gameplay hours comes from..
i really appreciate yoko's respect not just to RGGS but also to its customers: they want to make a great product, but they also don't want to sacrifice what they want to do to do that in the process
#snap chats#very timely article since .. i think it was passport i dont exactly remember who it was that was concerned about the game quality#maybe it was kana... idk one of you lot LMAO POINT IS thank you for reading our minds yoko#i wouldnt mind 100+ hours of island content LMAO but fr im truly curious to see what the main plot's gon be bout then#i mean we KNOW the main plot but yk what i mean... how the hell does this pan out..#REGARDLESS. i never had any issue with the LAD8 price#maybe its just cause i dont buy videogames too much <- liar (theyre old so like .2% cheaper its ok i think)#in rgg's case i always know im gonna get something i'll love for months- even years at this point#either way its nice knowing that yoko's at least aware of people who aren't happy with the price#and even besides that still just want to make a worthy game#aint nothin wrong with knowin your worth.. i think.#talking about videogame prices in general honestly im p sure the avg price for a game should be in the 100's by now#going off inflation anyway#so the fact devs are still trying to keep it under the $100 is. Something to me anyway#the quality of games- in terms of graphics anyway- has really gone up. idk if that warrants a FAT slap of an expense in the end#but it's not hard for me to understand the crawl towards it right#but now im ramblngi LMAOOOOOO anyways#haruka did nothing wrong yoko said it himself <3

There’s something to be said about how your parents & elderly care are not your responsibility, especially with late stage capitalism getting worse & making taking big breaks out of your life less realistic financially. We need better elderly care, a better system, & we need to let go of this mentality that our parents are our responsibility all at the same time. We are our only responsibilities, but fuck capitalism all at the same time!
#idk where i’m going with this#just thinking about it#& this is just looking at things very simplistically#this coming from someone who definitely won’t be able to afford to go & take care of my own parents & I have no idea if my brother will be#able to either#we don’t have the same financial increases as boomers & millenials; we may not even be able to retire ourselves let alone take care of#our parents#we need better elderly care#we’re all way more poor than the generations before us & inflation is only getting worse#this is a complicated topic with complicated feelings from anyone whose had to think about it even a little#mine#op

Fun fact: I nearly fainted today.
#i'm okay now but before holsy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit#see i was just at a local fair and i was just having normal fun#playing around on the funhouse and inflatable slide with my foster brother and that#but the second i went to sit down my vision went foggy my head was killing me and i went near deaf in both ears#i could hardly put my shoes back on. and i'm more than a bit worried.#i don't even know what i did to get to that point. maybe the heat? i was given a slush and i felt better. so maybe light heatstroke?#if that's even a thing.#either way boy what a close one. but if it happens again i'll definitely get like a doctor or something.#but i'm doing fine right now. just really confused.

An AITA blog has cropped up on here, and it's completely throwing me actually how many under 20s are on this site. I just skimmed over one and saw Am I (14f) An Asshole? And it's like someone accidentally stepped on the breaks for me, like;
1. Man I Am Getting Old.
2. You're fucking 14 girl, this is probably the only time in your life where you get to be an asshole and embarrassing with relatively low consequences. Just learn from it and grow.
3. A lot of the ones I see are not only from under 18s but also overwhelmingly get Not The Asshole vote I just feel damn sorry for these teens being so unsure of themselves.
Getting a little window into a whole different part of the site is interesting at least...
#and i get that everyone has their own circumstances#and that sadly too many teens have no secure adult guidance to help them in tough situations#and bad home lives#but it's a distressing cultural shift that im witnessing of teens these days either super inflating their ego#to fit in and chase after this impossible perfect standard media and the internet has drilled into them#or have little to no ego at all and they question every single one of their decisions#when i was young i was pretty much just playing online games like neopets and rping with my friends on msn and fb#i think the massive loss of child only spaces on the internet has forced these kids to mature in ways they're not built for yet#like you could've described me as a Mature Child due to my circumstances#but even i still had the opportunity to be immature enough to make mistakes and learn from them#without feeling like devil spawn for it#im just feeling melancholy over this i guess

me constantly shuffling the order of my pronouns like that cup ball game
#the they is silent#is it he/she or she/he…. i dunno!#she/he looks better & feels better gender-wise but i think i might slightly prefer he now so like. he/she makes more sense#my prns are technically. any (he/she/they if you wanna put them in order) but i have to adjust for inflation. like#ok#i tend to present fairly masculine right. short hair binder never wear ‘feminine’ clothes etc#so the people i’m around tend to assume i’m a trans guy#but like! no not really#so she before he yea#so they see it first#i don’t love they for me but i don’t really mind it either#but if i throw it in there or say i go by any prns people will ONLY use they for me#(and here’s the secret! they use it for me even when it’s not in there!)#so if i don’t put it in there people use it about as much as i want them to#it’s like a fun little game

#my brain is not very good at solidifying concepts so im just going rant a bit until i can made sense to myself#the conception and evolution of life is so fucking cazy. its a self assembling machine. building and building and building#without direction. traits flow like a river. branching. halting. repurposing parts for new adaptations#what we see now was not the goal. what u see is an assemblage of traits that avaided death#the creatures u see are not always reflective of their total evolutionary history. somtimes the organisms that survive originate from the#group of weirdos compared to their sister species. the freak survives to confuse paleontologists#paleontology has infinity elevated my appreciation for the study of animals and plants. ive never been very interested in either but the#way they change over time. the creeping of traits. animals are organic machines of flesh and blood. i cant not see them that way. ive been#watching dissection videos and the complexity. the way theyre structured. skin and muscle and viscera all working in perfect order until#theyre not. robust and impossibly fragile. and they came to be as they are by the tumble of genetics thru history. a record of which we#have below our feet. pressed flat. years and years and years. and all that started with a tiny assemblage of molecules that didnt even take#that long to manifest on this plant in the grand scheme of things. it seems impossible that life couldnt be common under the right#conditions. there's so much we'll never kno. we have a limited record but with what we have we can see so much#its just so... its so fucking profoundly interesting. leaning abt paleontology has profoundly changed how i see the world. im so fucking#glad i started listening to common decent bc its warmed my fingers just a tiny bit and i was so so cold. im still cold#im so tired. my brain is exhausting. i wish it understood that if i slept for more than like 4hrs i could focus better#bc i wanted to spend my weekend learning. not stuck in a fog making myself miserable. and yet i dont let myself sleep. i could if i tried#but my brain wont let me try. in my cells is a history of life for a single lineage. my Brain is so remarkablely complex that its capable#of self awareness. introspection. and the intentional inflation of pain upon itself and it's host body#robust but fragile. another aspect of life i find most interesting is where things start to break down. what are the limit?#at what point do things start to come unspooled? and why? what does that say about our history?#sometimes i have a thought thats very unproductive. we humans are destroying the planet. our actions will and have perpetuated vast amounts#of suffering and death. but at the same time life has crept around so much death and suffering. a world without us would continue to#proliferate. we cant kill literally everything. something will survive to stretch across the surface of rhe earth once we're gone. change#continuing. unproductive as i said but also somehow comforting. a nearly empty world filled with now useless information abd only things#tbat creep and crawl. or thats what i like to think. we could prob kill everything if we tried#complex brains capable of infinite destruction#unrelated

I wouldn't say my social bubble is terribly small. My former manager thought comparing safaris a suitable small talk topic. I had colleagues who played golf and were landlords. (Thanks to their middle-class families, not our salaries. The women in any case because men didn't discuss theirs).
But it's only their complaints about the current crisis that make me realize what being middle-class was/is really like. The small things, that is. I knew about the home-owner, 2 cars per family and holidays abroad standard (none of that necessarily as big/new/expensive as in Western Europe). Sounds neat, I have no trouble imagining living like that.
But until this nightmare inflation they'd just buy any food they wanted, including the most expensive out-of-season fruits and vegetables? Not just what was on sale? They'd take baths any time they wanted and went to restaurants all the time? And it's so difficult for them to give that up?
I do have compassion for them and worry about the impact of middle class struggling on the rest of the society, but I didn't even realize in how different worlds we lived.
#of course I don't talk extensively of things I can't afford so they probably don't realize either#every day I'm grateful I have a roof over my head#and it was also true when it was a moldy leaking roof in a house with someone making my life hell#and the more you spend on necessities the worse inflation you get#so of course we were hit worse#but we *are* more resilient#and it must be horrible for someone who never had to struggle before#not to mention how important a strong middle class is for stable society#aftter 30 years of talk of catching up to the West we might be succeeding#to UK or US even#:(#we might pay for healthcare and have to save up for our own pensions#dystopia

i hate this city so much… i once again got an ad for student housing and the cheapest spot was 7000+ kr and their apartments that could house 2 people were like 12000… no normal student could afford that that’s insane
#in comparison where i live is 2500 and i have friends who rent appartments that pay maybe 3 or 4 thousand a month???????#like that’s not normal… who exactly do they think is gonna move in there 😂#also if the rent gets even above 3000 you have to work a lot to afford that#like the student benefits have decreased so much in value now that it’s impossible to live for it#even with my cheap rent i can’t really make ends meet if i don’t work#the current government really does see su as just a supplement and not something you’re supposed to live for#i read that bc of inflation and the amount you get the value of su has decreased 4500 in value#since 2013#bc it hasn’t gone up at all#im also really scared the right wing is gonna win the upcoming election and they won’t do anything about it#not that i have faith in the left wing either but… i feel like at least it’s more plausible that they will fiddle a little with the su#but then again… they don’t really care#it’s not like students are already more stressed than ever#now we have to work full time jobs to survive 😂

my landlord is so nice i always feel so guilty I can't clean more and take care of the place better 😭
like im not kidding she's very genuine and kind. she thinks about affordability for me and tried to help me save money and is hesitant to even rent out at market price after i leave because market price is insane and unaffordable; she'd rather lose money and help rent to good people...
😭😭
anyway ik many landlords are awful, even if theyre not the big company type ones, but there's also genuinely good people out there who happen to have spaces to rent out and understand that being a landlord comes with a lot of responsibility.
#this and my family also being small time landlords who try to take care od people#and dont jack up prices like crazy (or without a lot of notice -- my parents kept rent low until people recovered from the pandemic)#(before upping it by about a hundred dollars bc inflation was just too much)#this is why when ppl say landlords should all die im like#my dude#i understand#but i think you need more nuance#bc yknow the Chinese communist revolution went around killing landlord families with a quota#and even people who had just recently come into some money a few years before the war broke out#and got some land#still got murdered#my grandpas family was only spared because his neighbors were killed#and then they partitioned my grandpas house into six pieces and smushed them and their tenants families into them#nobody had enough space#that's not caring for people#and it wasn't like they were making their tenants homeless before either.#personal

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ love language; s.g.
synopsis: when gojo satoru first fell in love with you
content: teen gojo era, fem!reader, gojo is head over heels (love at first sight), hopeless!romantic gojo, 1k+ words of gojo just being an absolute fool in love, not beta read (sorry for any errors!)
note: I've been wanting to create a sort of anthology series for some of my favs so here's a test run! I rlly wanna do lil drabbles/oneshots that can both be standalone but also can be read as something continuous revolving around Gojo's story with his soulmate... pls lmk if you'd like to see more of gojo and his mochi (aka you!)
Gojo Satoru didn't entirely know what love was; what with being raised by other people who weren't his actual mother and father, how could he? All he ever knew was a life of being the Honored One, since the day he was born. Nothing but a weapon. Living as the strongest and treated like a god... he never knew what real love felt like. He never knew what it was like to give or receive it. At least, not this way.
Geto Suguru and Ieiri Shoko were his best friends, the closest thing to real family. It wasn't like he didn't have any, at least not while growing up, but were they really family when all they ever did was train him and treat him like the eighth wonder of the world? Unlike everyone else, at least Suguru and Shoko treated him like a human. They loved him for who he was, but didn't hesitate to snap him into place when his ego was too inflated. They were there for him, even when expressing whatever demons that he held within him was hard to manage. If it wasn't for them, he wasn't sure exactly how he'd go about his life. Sure, he'd act like everything was fine and dandy, money could buy him happiness as he had plenty of it... and he was pretty much unstoppable, but the idea of living a life without either of them didn't sit well in his stomach.
So, sure, Satoru did now a bit about love, at least the love he felt for his best friends, but nothing like what he felt in this moment. The moment his eyes first fell on you.
He hadn't a clue as to who you were, only seeing you stroll along the grounds of Jujutsu High with your little uniform. The typical jacket, a skirt beneath, knee high socks, loafers... and your hair in a low ponytail that was held together by an overly large ribbon. Cute was the first thing that came to mind, along with the terrifying sound of his racing heart. Who were you? How come he had never seen you before? Maybe it was because he didn't pay attention to any one else besides a handful of people. He'd be lying if he said he was sure the technical college held more than five students.
In the midst of sipping away at his little box of strawberry milk, walking alongside Suguru and Shoko, Satoru's eyes had aimlessly wandered along his environment as his two best friends had been discussing evening plans. It wasn't like him to care about what was going on around him, so it was quite the miracle that his eyes were looking anywhere but ahead of him... but, maybe this was destiny.
It felt like the world was suddenly moving slowly around him, rather dramatically like a movie. His lips parted as the tiny straw fell out of it, hidden gaze behind his circular frames becoming exposed as the glasses slid down the bridge of his nose. You looked so graceful, the afternoon sun beaming down on you, your smile as bright as his eyes... he had to have been in love. This had to have been love. What else could it have been? Why else was his heart fluttering so quickly? Why else was he caught in a daze by your beauty? No one else, not a single soul, ever caught his attention this way so you must've been his soulmate.
There was something about you, from your gorgeous hair, to the cute bow, down to the uniform and the way it suited your form to the way you... wait, were you laughing with... Nanami Kento? Gojo's heart stopped as his grip on the milk grew tight, causing the contents to squeeze right out and squirt all over his face.
The sound of laughter caught his attention as he quickly looked at his two best friends, embarrassment filling his face as he looked back at you to see you now looking in his direction. Quickly wiping his face and turning away to scold his best friends, Gojo tossed the now empty carton at Geto. "Shut up!"
"What the hell did you do?" Suguru shook his head, wiping his tears as his shoulders shook with every laugh that rumbled throughout his torso. "Losing your cool over a girl, huh?"
"I said shut up!" Satoru snapped, cheeks burning with heat, embarrassed that he was that obvious.
"Must've struck something in him for him to spill milk all over his face like the doofus he is," Shoko snickered as Suguru went for a high five.
Swatting their hands and glaring at the two, Gojo hissed, "nothing happened, I squeezed too hard."
"Right," the two said in sync before eyeing one another, smirking and stifling a laugh.
Shoving past them as he kept walking ahead, grumbling to himself, Gojo couldn't help but peak over in your direction. You had already turned your attention back to the two on either side of you—Nanami along with Yu Haibara. Since when did they have a friend that was a girl? And when did you appear? He should've known seeing as both were his junior and both trained quite close to Suguru and himself. So you must've been new... He supposed he'd find more out about you, knowing he'd find a way to get under Nanami's skin and get anything out of him. He must've known a lot about you...
Gojo smirked to himself. He'd get his way.
"No," Nanami spoke as he crossed his arms. The confidence in Gojo's face instantly fading away. He didn't even hesitate, cancelling his plans with his best friends to bribe Kento into giving him some information. He swore taking his junior to his favorite bakery would help him out, but, no! Kento, being the wise boy he was, took advantage of Satoru paying for food in a false exchange for information. "I'm not going to be your middle man."
"Why not?!" Gojo whined, throwing himself back in his seat dramatically. "Just one thing! Something! Anything! She's the love of my life!"
Narrowing his eyes as he sipped away at his water, Nanami settled the glass down before crossing his arms once again. "Love of your life? You don't even know her name—"
"Because you won't tell me!" Gojo cried, throwing his head back and stomping his foot as if he was about to throw a tantrum. "Please, please! I beg of you, tell me something about her! Besides her name, what's her favorite color? Maybe her favorite food? Or... or what's her favorite date spot!"
"Satoru, I am not about to ask her what her favorite date spot is," Nanami deadpanned. "I'll give you her name and that's all. Everything else is on you. I'm not going to play matchmaker, let alone, set you up with someone so far out of your league."
Gasping in offense, Gojo clutched his chest. "Out of my league? Sure, she's a pure angel, a real heavenly being, but I like to think I am, too!"
"Egotistical..." Kento mumbled as Gojo frowned. "I'm only telling you one thing to get you off my back. You can't ask me anything ever again in order to get close to her. That's on you."
Pressing his hands together and interlocking his fingers, Gojo gave his best puppy eyes as he jutted out his bottom lip. "Please, I promise to leave you be after!"
"You better," the blond man grumbled before giving his senior your name. "She likes to sit under the cherry blossoms on the eastern side of the campus. If you want to find her and talk to her, she's usually there on her down time." At that, Nanami stood up and tucked his seat back into the table. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped in his tracks, turning to face the white haired young man. "All I ask of you is to be... gentle. She's a nice girl. I don't need you breaking her heart."
Sitting up with confidence as a wide grin took over his face, Satoru nodded with his thumbs up. "Believe me, I wont! I know this is love!" Seeing Nanami roll his eyes before leaving, Gojo happily sighed before looking out the window. Leaning his chin in the palm of his hand, he eyed the cherry blossom that had petals delicately swaying in the wind. "She's my soulmate, I know we are destined to be."

blue box buying the most ad views for () makes me doubt even less that they inflated their album sales …
they’re supposed to have increased their album sales 7x in one year… most of the fandom growth was between tomboy and nxde too, the fandom hasn’t grown since 🤔🤔🤔
#mind you I think they do this so they can ‘compete’ with the other top ggs rn#but they’re all inflating their sales too (thanks hybe!)#even with 12 album versions like the latest one has … it doesn’t add up bc honestly only a very small proportion of fans buy many album#versions#and if the fandom hasn’t grown much sales for events like fansigns wont increase much either#also !! this is nothing against the artists themselves. for once lol#I doubt they’re aware of this practice at all#I hope they are not#for their own sakes
