#amd its expensive

[starrspice]

I'm looking at buying a new prebuilt custom pc since my laptop is on the verge of taking the big sleep (as old ass computers do)

And as its showing me all these options for Memory cards and video cards and processors and shit I realize i have no damn clue what Any of these things are, What they do, and which ones I need

Like pls sir I'm a silly clown of an art student ive no clue what half of this stuff even means. Explain it to me as if I've never touched a computer in my life

#like pls i dont knoe the damn difference between intel and amd #i just need a system that i can use for vtubing and animation #thats all i want #pls #why cant it be easy #its fine that its expensive #but what the fuck am i shopping for???? QwQ #starr stuff #rambling #dont mind me #i COULD probably ask my brother #but he really wants me to just buy the parts for him to build it #like dude pls #just help

I keep seeing so many posts where people say they don't eat gingerbread houses after making them. Why on earth are you buying them then

#“to decorate!!” #yeah yeah i get that its the most fun part #but why would you buy them solely to throw out #gingerbread houses are so expensive #amd i greatly enjoy consuming the failed home

Resisting the urge to try and buy a Vaporeon build a bear on ebay

#I haven't even started checking listings but ik it's gonna be expensive as hell #I think my local BAB has them in stock #amd recently I've been so tempted to shop in there for other plushies too #but I don't wanna seem like a hypocrite #because of that one BAB post I made about not wanting to support them directly #but ik I'm also allowed to change my opinion but I still kinda feel the same #because I still think the company itself sucks but what company doesn't anymore except like lego maybe #I'm very conflicted about it so rn Im gonna try and stick to second shopping #but if I do settle on wanting Vaporeon I may cave and go to my local store #because paying scalper prices is not worth keeping up my dislike of the build a bear company over #like thats not a hill I'm going to die on its not that serious #if anything I think scalping is a slightly bigger issue than what BAB has going on #I can't do shit about what a big ass company/corporation does but I'll be damned if I feed into the greed of scalpers #like if I don't shop at BAB directly it doesn't do shit tp them but if I buy from a scalper it encourages them to keep doing what they do #yknow? #sorry for this weird rant lol #viti shoosh

i genuinely dont think people realize the impact of being poor and how it effects your entire life - even if you do become financially stable in the future

#as im sitting here once again weighing choices of 'haha get to eat anything or keep electricity' im once again getting so angry at everyone #in real life and the system thats designed to keep poor people poor until we just fucking die. our lives only mattering when we're a #statistic and gone. #amd realizing how many people will just. never understand. which is great! no one should be poor or go hungry or homeless. #but its these privileged people undervaluing the significance of being poor and what it means #the panic on where your next meal will be? the instinct to hoard any food or eat when not hungry because it could be ur last opportunity #to have a meal in god knows how long? spending as little money as possible and feeling guilty if ANYTHING goes outside of bills #or even goes to grocery thats more expensive or tastes better? #the lesson not to open doors or look out windows when someone knocks because debt collectors? never to answer the phone? #the health that gets neglected and causes bigger issues? the way your immune system is never given a chance to recover entirely? #not being able to afford a loaf of bread much less college. not able to have the same education or work opportunities and always 'behind' #literally every single thing in your life is effected by being poor. #part of why i get so angry when that's an ignored factor with jason because no. #that panic and instict and experience never leave you because its how you literally how you survive(d). #anyways. #can anyone tell im bitter and have a migraine. i want to get in a fist fight someone come fight me. #crypt callings

SInce i am trangender i think i should be given cool bracelets and get my ears pierced for free.

#basically i finally looked up how much itcosts to get your ears peirced professionally... #i wish my mom had just been the type to do it when i was a baby at clairs so i wouldnt ahve to pay now. but whatever.support local bussiness #also thers this bracelet that i want that would make me look so much cooler and they are amde by this local lady so its like expensive... #well i think thats something i will jsut ask for for my birthday maybe. i simply cannot afford to spend that much on like 1 bracelet rn

The tea they sell in bags at starbucks cafes are like. thirteen dollars. I feel like that should be illegal somehow.

#i had a gift card so its no skin off my back but #for thirty bags. are u kidding me. and i thought republic of tea was too expensive #sol rants about tea prices asmr #THE THING IS THEY DONT HAVE PRICES ANYWHERE. so bc i have a gift card i was like well heres my shot to just get some amd see how much it is #and i see 12.95 pop up on the screen like 😃😄😃

Just tried to put my wine bottle into my dish washer instead of the fridge and this was not a drunk action it was purely a sober yet absent-minded action

#i was so embarrassed of myself despite no one witnessing this lol #i poured myself a glass and just automatically went for the sdish washer #tbh i think this is telling me i need to run it #i havent run the dishwasher in at least 2 weeks it is time #personal #blueberries are on a crazy sale in my area rn so i have a crap ton #so im eating a big bowl of heavenly blueberries with a glass of white wine #perfection #by crazy sale i mean like $3.50 for 18oz #in my hometown you pay $8 USD for like 6oz its ridiculous #one of the principle benefits to living on the mainland is much cheaper produce #blueberries especially #i fucking love them #major downside to living on the mainland is how expensive my actual fav fruit is #in my hometown everyone has a manho tree so theyre cheap amd widely available #aka usually theyre free lol #once you get used to getting something for fres its hard to pay top dollar for it #same with avocados i grew up getting them for free and actually selling our excess so i cringe at paying for them #god theyre so good though #a quality plant

Not killing myself anymore ✌🏼

I feel like a god right now. I was sitting in the car zoinked out of it bec i drank my coffee too fast and figured, lets loa my way thru this. Lets assume o already have my job. So while i was spacing out in the back seat i was imagining stuff id like to hear, implying i had the job and i was so good at it.

It wasnt even a serious attempt and yet i felt good about the whole thing. At that point i didnt even want the job in 3d cus i alreafy felt like i had it.

Lo amd behold, i get the job offer a few hours later right when i was about to sleep (im so thrilled i cant even sleep)

So note to self. Do it your way and whats important is that you know you have the thing ❤️

#pomoprin text #ive been into loa for lile 2 years now amd i mamaged to get some stuff out of it. #the tjing is the 'methods' ive been using hurt my braim bec i keep drilling in what other people have been doing and they kinda work??? #but at the expense of my brain explodinh #so today was an experiment to do it my way and it worked beautifully 🌟 #remember this shit is for you #if it feels like its working for u and u enjoy it then do it

Big Dumb that Halloween costumes are always made to be cheap as absolute dog shit (while being stupid expensive) because frankly I'd probably just wear Halloween costumes all the time if they weren't made out of something besides wet tissue paper and priced like it's made of the finest emeralds out of Elon musk's dad's emerald mine

#winters ramblings #people dont make clothes that are my Style that arent ALSO ridiculously high priced #and i wouldnt MIND so much spending money on clothing if when i feel the clothing it's not obviously fast fashion #why the HELL would i pay 70$ for a peasant dress i KNOW cost the company 75¢ to fucking MAKE #deadass i went into a store the other day and was like hmm i will snoop there is sales!! well i aint fucking buying a FORTY $ CROP TOP #its not even a WHOLE motherfucking shirt!!! FORTY dollars???? are you on HORRIBLY COOKED METH what the fuck #Halloween costumes have the Cool Goth Look i want but are Expensive but normal clothes are ALSO expensive #and hand made shit it WAY MORE EXPENSIVE although at least hand made stuff is WORTH its cost #like youre paying for materials AND the persons labor to make it so i wouldnt mind paying more money for that stuff #but like im not paying hundreds of dollars for something made by a fucking 6 year old in a sweatshop #im not ignorant to working conditions it is RIDICULOUS that these people are paid pennies if they get that much AMD its ridiculous #that for some reason companies charge OUT THE ASSHOLE for and its like cool die please

[achilleslyre]

my dad just told me that my brother SIL and nephew are planning to come down to [my city] on my nephews bday bc they want to get a picture with 5 generations bc currently we have 5 gens (minus my nephew) in this city. which means that i’d get to meet my nephew and also see my brother for the first time in like 6 years. which would be amazing. it does mean however that i have to stay living here until august which is. balls. but i think it’s absolutely worth it to be able to meet my nephew and see my brother and SIL again :3 i miss them so much

#bc when i have the right kinda money to be able to move i wanna get tf out of this city #its too close to where * lives and ik she comes into [city] for shopping sometimes amd it gives me constant anxiety that im gonna happen to #bump into her at some poiny #plus i’ve always wanted to move more northern anyways so i’m gonna try that as long as i can afford it #it’s likely i might even move provinces too for affordability and peace of mind LOL #i’d like to go back around batchawana but areas around there are rlly expensive #but ig i dont rlly have to figure it out as soon as i was hoping to cause im gonna be staying for at least another half year #im sooooo excited to meet my nephew tho hes adorable #itll be worth it for sure #jitter bugs u

Stop giving your fantasy heroes swords challenge

Swords are for dipshits with more dollars than sense, real chad warriors have spears and axes

Spears: probably the oldest weapon humans ever developed that took more effort than just picking up a rock or swinging a branch as a club. Spears are the most venerated and effective weapon in history, used by every culture across the world with very little - if any! - exception. Medium-to-long reach means wider defensive area, ability to change hand position on shaft means you can adjust tip distance for opponents closer or farther away. Fast, maneuverable, throwable; reach for keeping people outside your personal bubble and can be used to just bludgeon people because a wooden pole bonks just as good as another wooden pole without the stabby bit; various styles of tips and blades that can be used to slash (not as effective but still very possible because blood drawn is blood spilled), more room for cool decorations as well as can be used to bear a banner or coat of arms. She does it all and she did it first. (They also twirl real cool)

Axes: PROBABLY THE SECOND OLDEST WEAPON DESIGN MORE ADVANCED THAN JUST PICKING UP A ROCK. Brutal, practical, utilitarian, the axe is excellent for that sweet sweet CHOP. The full force of your swing being focused into an area less than a millimeter wide and several inches long can cause SO MUCH DAMAGE, and if it's dulling mid-fight you still have a brutal tool that will break bone as indiscriminately as any other hunk of metal tied to a stick. They can be small and maneuverable, used with a shield or paired with another axe. They are the most effective way to just hack at an opponent's own shield, and - due to the fact that axes tend to have a much wider, shallower blade than, say, swords - they aren't as affected by the blunt force (with regards to dulling/damaging the actual edge of the blade) or as prone to getting stuck in the wood of the shield. Combat/fighting/war axes are definitely designed and sharpened differently from their wood-chopping brethren with regards to balance and the depth of the blade, but the guiding principle is the same. Chop chop chop chop chop.

Polearms: they're spearses. They're axes. They're both and they're neither. Pikes, glaives, halberds, bardiches, guisarmes, guandao, naginata, scythes, tridents, anything we took a blade or pointy metal and a long pole and ductaped together.

Swords are cool! They can be beautiful! However, they are race horses being used to work the fields: too expensive to maintain, not optimal for the purpose they're being used for, and too easy to irrepably damage if misused. Your opponents are wearing armor? You better hope you have a sword maneuverable enough to work into its weak points, because you're not hacking through that before you find yourself walking through golden fields of wheat. You only have one hand on your sword? Better hope somebody doesn't smack that long lever in your hands in such a way that it just gets knocked from your grasp.

This is the same post as every other Spears and Axes in Fantasy/Fiction post in existence, but I wrote this one and its mine amd im in a mood this morning apparently
