Me: I need a few groceries for easter dinner with my family, and another couple of little things for the Things' easter baskets so I think I'll just run to Target and get everything in one trip. Shouldn't cost more than about $30.
Target: But what if you remembered that you needed a new item from the pharmacy?
Target: And what if your favorite chips -- that are almost NEVER on sale at all -- were on an amazing sale?
Target: And what if you remembered another menu item for easter that required an additional purchase?
Target: And what if there were these really cute things to add to easter baskets that were individually only $1 each but you couldn't decide on just one for each person?
Target: And what if there was also a sale on a big bag of the perfect candy to put in the candy bowl?
Me: Yeah, all that sounds great.
Target: Excellent. That will be $80. Congratulations! You've saved $12 today!
Me: ...Have I, tho?

I like to imagine Stretch is a lightweight when it comes to everything except caffeine. He'd take one hit off a blunt and in five minutes forget he has legs. He’d drink one martini and have trouble walking a straight line. He'd consider taco bell spicy. They always start him at the lowest possible dose on any prescription medication. But coffee? Half a pot and maybe he can function like he’s fully awake.
This is inverted for Edge and Rus of course, with Rus landing on the high end of average and Edge just straight up being unaffected. Except caffeine. Never give either of them espresso or they won't even sit down for a minimum of three days. Thankfully Rus doesn't really like the taste and Edge just drinks decaf.

I don't understand why people seem to dislike "Girl Dinner" and "Girl Math" so much.
Like, it's not about girls being unable to take care of themselves or make smart financial decisions. Girl Math is literally just about how under the capitalism small purchases that add up to a large number don't feel as expensive as one large purchase. It's the same phenomenon as being willing to pay $10 for a product but not $8 + $2 shipping. Or spending cash feeling different from spending on a credit card.
Or like why a bunch of people just started talking about how being a bimbo is just quirky sexism.
Yes, women can achieve great things, and they can be smart. We all support women's rights. But we gotta support women's wrongs as well.
After being told that you have to be smart and strong and do everything a man can do or you're a bad feminist and you're setting the movement back fifty years, the ability to just be dumb and carefree feels like taking off a bra.
Yes, women can be smart. But they can be dumb too. We can be weak and dumb and that doesn't make us "bad feminists" or "quirky sexists". It makes us human. And shaming women for their freedom to enjoy their life however they want is counterproductive. Men get to be as dumb as they want without shame, so why is it that when women are the ones who are dumb, you get offended and try to shame them into acting the way you want them to?
We can't have equality until you guys stop shaming women for every little thing they do. We can't have equality if we don't support women's wrongs.

Me and Nanami would have quit the corporate world and opened up a little cafe near the countryside together where we live on the second floor and are only open a few days a week from 10-2pm
