it really doesn’t matter if I exist

[averysoftfly]

I’m really starting to not see the point in hard work. Everyone always says “just work hard and be kind and you’ll do just fine” but that is not at ALL true lmao. I’ve worked hard my entire life and all I’ve gotten are people making constant fun of me behind my back while I’m helping them and rewards dangled in my face until I get excited about it and then it’s yanked away. That’s what hard work and trying to be kind gets you lmfao not some corny little fantasy life where everything is good.

Cooking hills I will die on: making stuff from scratch is fun but there is nothing wrong with using powdered sauce mixes and premade product (and it could be called ableist and classist to make fun of using them), and like any tool microwaves can be pretty effective if used properly (and it could be called ableist and classist to make fun of using one).

Hello, I have been in the process of diagnosing my chronic fatigue. The good news is that after thorough testing, where problems were identified, I am finally breaking some ground with one of my doctors. The bad news is that I am required to see said doctor again before necessary medications/supplements/treatments can be implemented. This is in addition to the other doctor appointments I have because I have been working with multiple doctors throughout this diagnostic process. This is a bit painful because I've already exceeded the 3 reduced-price in-network doctor visits my insurance allows and I'm paying a hefty fee for all appointments, ranging from $100-200 each. The expenses for more meds/supplements/treatments in addition to the existing strain of my rent hike, regular meds, and groceries, are killing me. I anticipate needing around $835 in assistance this month. Thank you so much 💖

so many people believe that if you have to work at being kind there must be something wrong with you and I’m here to tell these people that if you don’t work at being kind there’s definitely something wrong with you

[averysoftfly]

Hot take, fucking apparently: telling someone you love them after knowing them for like 2 weeks is actually kind of a pretty shitty thing to do

[averysoftfly]

not paying attention to the price of a service until you’re at the point of payment and then complaining through the entire transaction to the low level employee who doesn’t set the prices is just… so fucking tacky go away you annoying fucking cunt I’m so over the constant casual entitlement of people in this shithole city

[averysoftfly]

man I got so much Christmas shit done today. made and canned my annual Christmas pepper jelly that my sister goes feral for (she gets 2 bc she’ll just eat an entire jar with a spoon Christmas morning), got most of my shopping done and the rest will be almost finished by Monday. maybe I’ll even keep the momentum going and get everything sent off on time this year.

[averysoftfly]

walking into a pet store and immediately dropping your dog’s leash to let it wander off on its own is a peak dumbass move 🤦‍♀️

[averysoftfly]

so I do non-sedation oral hygiene for dogs and usually you open a dog’s mouth and it doesn’t smell that bad because doggie breath is genuinely one of the more pleasant smells we experience. sometimes, though, you can tell exactly which owners also have horses because the combined stench of rotting bits of hoof clippings, dog breath, and probably at least 6 months knocks you flat on your back 🤢

[averysoftfly]

I really wish more creators would realize that not every story needs a forced, hamhanded romance between characters that have absolutely zero chemistry and it’s fucking boring that almost every single story (book, movie, it’s fucking everything oh my god) does that.

[averysoftfly]

so I use my Spotify account for music at work but somehow, if I’m not there and my coworkers sign into my account, it plays through/can be controlled via my phone even though I live over 30 km away. I’m already planning on planting Never Gonna Give You Up every 3-5 songs in the queue but I am a) open to other suggestions and b) easily bored with low impulse control

[redstonedust]

nothing more disappointing than a shower with low water pressure. i don't want to feel like a wet sad beast left out in the rain i want to be power washed.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

yeah queen's dead

[nychticpyrhic]

*cocks shotgun* bout to be

[andhumanslovedstories]

Someone at my work keeps joking that they just need to clone me so we’ll have full coverage and I’m honestly offended on behalf of my clone at the idea she’s be brought into this world just so she could work. If I get cloned, first off we are unionizing

[andhumanslovedstories]

So everyone knows where I am on the clone question, without hesitation I would explore my clone’s body but also her rights

[shittymoviedetails]

Please stop

in retrospect, video rental stores *would* probably still exist today in some capacity had it not been for blockbuster. the nostalgia for the blockbuster browsing experience undermines the reality of how aggressively the chain snuffed out smaller video rental stores and would eventually become notorious for its abusive late fee collection policy once there were no significant competitors standing. the rise of streaming is often attributed to blockbusters demise, but what’s not often recognized is how netflix’ earliest (and most successful) marketing tactics were in fact advertising the absence of the aforementioned terrible late fees as opposed to the convenience of not having to go to the store. I was actually surprised to find out how much of blockbuster’s demise can be attributed to spiraling out of control as it attempted to manage viacom’s ever increasing debts than to the fact that people just naturally gravitated towards streaming (which is not to say that it wouldn’t have happened eventually, but).

see also: borders / barnes & noble with bookstores. amazon’s original pitch was probably more “look how convenient!” than it was “look, you can avoid the awful sterility of the inside of a barnes & noble!” but it’s interesting that with its aggressive tracking and tailoring of recommendations amazon is having machines do (in an impersonal and invasive way) what the staff at a local, non-chain bookstore would do, which is match their selection to your preferences

[lew-basnight]

Barnes & nobles and Borders raced against each other, across the country, to oversaturate the bookstore market. This isn’t paranoia or conspiracy — it’s the same fucking model Starbucks used. Oh, your community supports three bookstores? We’re going to open five, until the little indies go under. Then we’ll close four of our own (sorry not sorry staff, enjoy competing with each other for a handful of positions!) and now you have no other choice. Movie rental chains did the same thing.

And then all these huge chain retailers have the fucking gall to weep and whine as amazon proceeds to wipe them out, and now I live in a small city where you just… can’t get stuff. If you don’t want to use amazon, if you don’t have a car to drive out to the big box on the highway, you literally can’t buy a pair of socks or an ice pack. No more pharmacies, no more bookstores, no more video or music stores… if this was plants and not retailers you’d call it monoculture, and you’d raise an alarm about how prone to catastrophic collapse monocultures are.

Ohhh that last line.

Hi, I am in the process of diagnosing my chronic fatigue. I had an unexpected additional doctors appointment at the end up July that was $195 which was a bad hit.

In addition to that I have an upcoming dental appointment and have to renew my yearly dental plan (my insurance doesn't cover it/additional coverage isn't very comprehensive) which is likely going to be around $375-475. I'm also still dealing with my apartment's rent hike. I'm really drowning this month and expect to need around $800 in assistance. Thank you all so much 💖
