-->Sales continued above as Alice continued baking below -- though maybe not as smoothly as I'd hoped either activity would go. Smiler had to take a quick break to suck down a plasma fruit and then clean some of the produce stands midway through the day; one of Victor's customers tried to scare him, but did it so incompetently that they both just ended up embarrassed; and Alice's attempt to make a fruit cobbler ended up in an excellent cobbler but also a broken stove jetting flame. *grimaces* Not good! I decided it was about time Alice did her thing on the sales floor instead and directed her upstairs --

-->Only to discover that she couldn't actually greet any customers. She only had the option to tell them to leave. Baffled, I had her go shovel some of the snow in front of the store instead (only right to clear the drifts, and anyway she can always use the Fitness) --

And then, as sales started piling up on the floor, I tried clicking on a customer with her again and discovered she was perfectly capable of ringing up customers. Can't say hi, can help them check out. O.o No idea what was going on there, honestly. Maybe Alice just wanted to keep the social interaction to a minimum. :p

-->Anyway, despite this weirdness, the store remained hopping -- well, whenever it wasn't lagging, that is. I swear, there is SOMETHING about this lot that makes Sims just idle in the middle of their activities for no apparent reason. It wasn't like this when the trio first bought it! Which, of course, leads me to believe that it was filling the store up with products that has made it so freaking laggy. It's not UNPLAYABLE, it's just annoying -- we'll have to see if the situation gets better as they sell more stuff. And then, if it IS a case of too many things on one lot, we'll see what we can do to remedy that. (Though their home lot has LOADS more stuff and never lags like this...)

-->ANYWAY -- despite all that, they ended up having a very solid grand opening! Smiler handled the customers on their own for a bit so Victor could get a quick dinner in the break room and Alice join him for some TV, then they all pitched in to do some cleaning both upstairs and down before shutting the doors at 7 PM! Having sold eleven items (including the stuff I mentioned before, a box of cheese, another box of canned tomato sauce to Agnes, a box of apple jam jars, a “Rosey Disposition” flower arrangement, and a deodorizing scent) for a total profit of $3,807! Though again, it's not about the money -- they have plenty of that. It's about providing San Myshuno with good fresh food off the farm, and themselves with a way to use up all the produce from said farm! I mean, that greenhouse alone produces a LOT...

anne carson: simple moving poem about awkward dinners with not-quite-friends and the ennui that comes with realizing this mundane unhappiness is all adult life is sometimes

insane people on twitter: has she ever tried being happy? i like going to dinner with friends, what’s wrong with her? she can afford to go out to dinner, she shouldn’t complain. just be a cooler hang, skill issue. this isn’t my exact experience (i like my friends) therefore this poem is bad and unrelatable and pretentious. she can’t debone a fish? loser.

#would bet money that 75% of people shitting on it have rt’d that ‘not to me. not if it’s you’ quote more than twice #so terrifying about the state of discourse lol #anne carson

When Jesus pretended to be dead for 3 days it's a miracle and everyone is sympathetic. But when I, James Somerton-

#james somerton #hbomberguy #Sorry #just to be clear i dont wish somerton any harm #for the money he tricked people into donating i'm sure there will be a lawsuit. maybe??#for the plagiarism idk if and how the law applies #for his personal mysoginistic racist etc views i've seen maybe one of his videos years ago and i don't remember his claims #i just think that as an influancer / youtuber he's a public figure and it's not the public's responsability to cater to his mental health #whether his mental health issues are real or just excuses #i'd rather he change career and be held accountable than he hurting himself #being in a bad mental state doesn't justify your actions #especially if the bad mental state is directly caused by the conequences of said actions

Three soldiers from the Israeli occupation army playing with the Javelin anti-tank shoulder missiles.

There was no danger as they faced the target without any cover, and someone was already filming.

The cost of one missile without the launcher is between $70,000 to $100,000. It was exactly $78,000 in a report by the Pentagon in 2021, and now it's more expensive and could reach $100,000.

This is where the taxpayer's money goes; this is why Israel takes aid from the USA.

A video was published by a soldier named Emil Antonov, who is a tattoo maker in Jerusalem.

‏‎ثلاثة جنود من جيش الاحتلال الإسرائيلي يلعبون بصواريخ جافلين المضادة للدبابات على الكتف. لم يكن هناك خطر حيث واجهوا الهدف دون أي غطاء، وكان هناك شخص يقوم بالتصوير. تكلفة صاروخ واحد بدون القاذفة تتراوح بين 70,000 إلى 100,000 دولار. كانت تحديداً سعرها 78,000 دولار في تقرير للبنتاغون في عام 2021، والآن هي أغلى من ذلك وربما تصل إلى 100,000 دولار.

‏‎هكذا تصرف أموال دافعي الضرائب؛ لهذا السبب تأخذ إسرائيل المعونات من الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية.

‏‎تم نشر فيديو من قبل جندي يدعى إميل أنطونوف، وهو رسام وشم في القدس.

#Americans pay taxes for Israeli soldiers' toys #USA funds terrorism #israel is a terrorist state #israelis are terrorists #Israelis are war criminals #israel is committing genocide #israeli war crimes #Israeli is a war criminal #i stand with palestine #free gaza #free palestine #palestine #gaza #israel #jerusalem #فلسطين #arabic #Americans tax money

hey! hi! the cartoonist cooperative has an e-sim drive for gaza, offering art for e-sim donations (instructions etc in the link)

#I usually keep politics posting to Twitter bc of reach/impact #like I’d rather spend my time calling state reps telling them I don’t want my fucking tax money to go to bombing civilians #than explain to a tumblr user that no you don’t get a pass to use ultra/ethnonationalist talking points because you’re #too busy choking on government boot to realize that you’re being 1800s racist #but I haven’t seen the donation drive making rounds on here so if getting art prompts you to helping people #keep connected please check it out. the artists available and instructions are all on the page linked etc.#anyway. in case it was not clear. none of us are free until all of us are free. death to imperialism. etc.

im gonna be so real wishmaker made me try so hard to imagine adriens future career but i cant do it. when i imagine adriens future i cannot imagine his career AT ALL. but also i think he has a source of income outside of marinette just for the feeling of independence. because financial dependence would probably be bad for his mindset after the 15 yrs of gabriel. so i cant imagine him as a stay at home husband either.

so my brain just sees him doing random jobs that he quits whenever he wants bc he lives with marinette in a little apartment over her boutique. like every week he somehow changes jobs and no one understands how. nino goes to the mcdonalds across the street from his house on monday and adrien takes his order. then he facetimes adrien on wednesday and he's in peru because hes got a job as a flight attendant. saturday, alya mentions that she had to report on a play being thrown by a local theater troupe and did you know adriens in it? and sometimes he just quits for awhile and does marinettes bookkeeping and occasionally models for her when he wants to. does some community center classes such as cooking, arts, etc. volunteers at the cat shelter. and is also a superhero i guess. chat noir does door dash.

#cal.ibrations #miraculous ladybug #um i usually dont imagine adrien keeping any of the money from the agreste company bc i always imagined hawkmoths identity wld be public #so i imagine a lot of that would probably be seized by the state tbfh like sorry but it was used to fund magical terrorism #so like i imagine usually he has enough for his childhood n young adult years n stuff but like entire life? nah. job is necessary 👍#or he steals felixs identity and uses his debit card tbh kind of deserved.

Is there even a site left to post art? Seriously here i really like posting my artwork and creating a safe community why this app decides to follow down the rabbit hole of A! and ruin everything?

I want to be more hopeful that it won't last and get sued those who illegally use our pieces. :/

i think anything being posted publicly (bar perhaps on very niche places no one else will find u either) is probably getting scraped, which is supported by the kind of weak 'We Will Try To Stop Unauthorized Data Trawlers' lines we get fed - even sites that have explicit anti-AI stances like Pillowfort can't promise that ur images are fully protected

i'd assume paywalled sites like patreon/subscribestar offer a smidge of protection just bc the ai people don't want income to flow anywhere else than their own pockets? as for lawsuits, ye, i hope they tread on the toes of some other shitty corporation with an interest in protecting their intellectual property since they have the $ to throw at this problem

when all the platforms we post to are owned by corporations that are only interested in shortsighted financial gain/dont need to respect their userbase, this type of behaviour is to be expected... as i mentioned previously though, i have hope that the bubble will burst like it did w/ nfts, that people will realize theyre swallowing shit and it turns out not to be as profitable as the profiteers hoped (at which point theyll turn to the next exploitative grift)

#cleo talks #margaretkart #the whole ai debacle unfortunately contributes to a general downward arc in quality of media #but tbh.. im fortunate to not have to rely on financially motivated corporations for my livelihood #(private clients are often more generous than say wotc lol)#so im sad about the state of the world but at least theres that #look to individuals and smaller communities #and Begging ppl to put their money where their mouth is #just bc boring ass Marvel is using AI doesnt mean there isn't still incredible creative work to find elsewhere

Totally agree with this but what’s even funnier is getting literal nonstop ads for Saudi tourism on Insta like their reputation is not still Gender Apartheid Country

#I’m someone who wants to travel a lot but nothing to me is enticing about the soulless gulf states #if you want to party and spend a lot of money I feel like there’s places where you don’t run the risk of jail time for sex outside wedlock

STRUGGLING TO AFFIRM? TRY THIS!

the main thing maaaany people struggle with when it comes to manifesting and the law of assumption is persisting. persistence, as we all know, is very important to ensure we don’t contradict our desires and make sure we get what we want! i used to be that person who affirmed once and then never again during the day and then moped around miserable because i didn’t get what i wanted when i kept forgetting to persist!

so to fix this i came up with this technique to help me! i basically would section my desires into categories and narrow down my affirmation list to 5. this is a number that is manageable for me as it makes my affirmations concise and easy to memorise. i then wrote these affirmations down on a piece of paper and stuck it around my room. this helped me wonders as i would look at the paper all the time and remember to affirm! doing this really helped to persist and speed up my manifestations as i was affirming much more often and saturating my mind with my desires. also, physically writing out my affirmations and seeing them on paper as opposed to having to go on my phone and scroll on the notes app or on tumblr just made affirming so much more enjoyable for me! if you are someone who struggles to affirm and staying consistent, i’d recommend trying this out!

p.s. i actually have only done this twice, and i focused on manifesting one thing at a time before moving onto another desire and set of affirmations (although you can definitely use this to manifest more than one thing at once!!). i created the other 4 set of affirmation notes for the purpose of this post, and to inspire others! (also pls don’t judge my handwriting okay 😭)

- ok that’s all, i love y’all <333
