incidentally the questline opening up ninja is a bit funny after you've done stormblood
"we come from a faraway land, called doma -"
"oh yeah! i've been there!"
"what"
"came, liberated, fought a primal, y'know, all in the day's work around here. lovely place"
"wh... but...."
"you ever thought of helping the reconstruction? they're getting it looking great these days!"
i had forgotten that the ninja storyline in #ffxiv (30 to 50 at least) is just "this is what happens when the goth kid starts hanging out with the theater kids, and it all goes wrong"
i discovered what lives in the hole by the backyard door today!
or rather my dog did
bc it's a big ol' toad
i'm glad my dog does not like to chomp toads. she just wants to boop them with her nose. toads do not appreciate this lol, but she thinks the fun game is "find frog/toad, poke frog/toad, it jumps!!!!!, go find frog/toad again"
i remembered i was levelling rogue, so i had to go make a nw glam in a slapdash manner. i think i am now sufficiently cheekily dapper to be a dabber stabber #ffxiv
cw for eye contact from a catgrill, also knives what with to stab
If you're on Food Stamps or Medicaid:
Okay, here's a tip for thriving on #LowIncome that I found out about a few months ago:
If you're on Food Stamps (also called EBT or SNAP), or Medicaid (a form of health insurance which can only be held by people who are seniors, disabled, low income, and/or unemployed), then you're eligible to sign up for a discount on Amazon Prime, so it's $5.99 a month, according to this: https://www.amazon.com/b?node=16256994011
Although this discounts your Amazon Prime service itself, you can’t use Food Stamps for the groceries you buy through Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201895360
That said, having Amazon deliver to your door for free saves you transportation costs for going shopping.
TV service is one of the first bills most people cut when they become #LowIncome, but Prime includes a streaming on-demand TV service, so that's another perk. This makes Prime the *only* TV service I'm aware of that can be discounted if you have Food Stamps.
(Full disclosure: I'm not affiliated with Amazon, and I think their company is pretty evil and inhumane to its workers. Still, there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, and this can help you afford groceries, TV, and some other common needs, so that's good.)
a totally uncontroversial additional opinion, on the same subject:
the best modern Joker is always one voiced by Mark Hamill and this one-upmanship about it needs to stop already. you got the best. he's right there. cool it you fuckin edgelords.
the best Catwoman is and always will be Eartha Kitt. no i will not ever change my mind nor will i ever revise my opinion as this is truth and should be justly acknowledged by all.
extremely controversial opinion for today
batman & robin https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118688/ and batman forever https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112462/ aren't as terrible as people remember, they just remember that batman is campy as hell
i should actually try the arms demo i downloaded on my switch but the game information keeps playing up the motion controls
"how neat!" i think cheerfully
"buddy, if you fuckin' try it," my shoulder says, "you are going to be in a world of pain the likes of which you cannot imagine"
"but you're already at like an eight out of ten normally?"
"yeah, that's just me getting STARTED. try it, chump"
a wigglytuff gazes upon the distant fires of drama through a pair of opera glasses and subtoots
ok this is even sillier than i first thought.
i think this entire firestorm could have been easily and quickly avoided with just
"hey, could you not use > for quoting with my posts? it's a [pet peeve/trigger/strong dislike] due to enduring 4chan shit tossed at me."
"oh sure, no problem! totally understandable to be twitchy after dealing with 4chan shit lol"
and there we go lol
opens window, peers out
so fedi timeline what are we being mad about today? ... >s? we're being mad about >s? or being mad that people are mad about them?
i've got no idea what's going on here but if people are mad at >s have they considered offering the alligator a bigger snack so he turns around and becomes <
