This Definitely Won’t End With The Rich Finding A Way To Make Mentally Ill Poor People Kill Themselves

There’s no way this is a real person. Nothing in the original post was said about having kids. Typical internet.

Long rant

I find it funny too because someone pointed out that almost nobody in the US pays for these. Most people, if they want one, will wrangle a stray one from around the airport. Not to mention typically luggage has had wheels since the 70s.

A rich businessman mad that he has to pay $6 out of his expenses. In an economy where most people struggle to afford groceries, this guy is upset about the possibility of spending $6 after traveling around Europe.

I was curious though if OP did have kids and simply didn’t mention them. If I was missing some crucial context that the replier had that I missed. So I checked OP’s profile. OP was traveling alone and has one daughter that appears to be an adult.

So nothing close to this imagined scenario in the comment replying to me. I realize the replier was projecting his scenario onto my comment. But my comment isn’t to the replier it’s to OP. Who clearly doesn’t have that specific scenario to worry over.

Additional Context:

(I made the original comment because I’m tired of people engagement baiting on there. Originally this site was about creatives showing off art.

Now it’s about non-stop engagement baiting like any other corner of the internet. A popular one atm is Europe vs USA .)

Certain delis will sell prepared food covered by EBT but it’ll be cold. Just refrigerated to the point that you can’t eat it outright. Like a pre cooked spaghetti dinner with sauce on it. Hard potatoes wedges with chicken strips. Some of the EBT conditions seem spiteful. Unless you have an oven or microwave it’s not a good value. (WIC restrictions also seem weird too. But that’s another conversation. )

Solidarity

Hey you. Yes you. Go to sleep.

Coming out was easier than coming out as an anime fan.

M*A*S*H is really one of those shows that hit different on each stage of your life. I laughed at the jokes as a kid. When I got older, I realized why people like BJ and Hawkeye were constantly joking.

For later

Words to use instead of ‘said’

**Using the word ‘said’ is absolutely not a bad choice, and in fact, you will want to use it for at least 40% of all your dialogue tags. Using other words can be great, especially for description and showing emotion, but used in excess can take away or distract from the story.

Well we’re waiting..

Hey what if I posted the JJBA x Persona 4 Golden AU I’ve been working on… haha what if…

I usually stop watching Dexter around Season 4, Episode 7.

Rant

Dexter not killing Trinity feels like a plot contrivance; there’s no real reason for him to let him live. He just decides not to kill him after already receiving the proof he needed. Instead, he gets sidetracked with some serial killer of the week because “he threatened Deb.” Really, Dexter? Do you not remember what happened just a few episodes ago because of Trinity?

The idea that “Trinity is on cooldown” doesn’t make sense. When has that ever been a consideration for him? It felt like the showrunners didn't want a predictable series, so they made Dexter act out of character. Trinity isn’t just another Miguel situation; Dexter has seen him kill innocents live. There’s no justification for not dealing with him ASAP.

You could argue that Dexter is struggling with parenthood and being a husband, which clouds his judgment. However, he has never allowed his role as a boyfriend and pseudo-father to so severely distort his logical reasoning. Show runners wanted Trinity to hurt Dexter. The only way they could get that outcome was to make Dexter act outside of his norm.

“Maybe he wanted to learn more about having a normal family life from Trinity.”

Dexter has tabled other serial killers with normal lives. He knows how’s to put on a show and still exist.

“Well Rita needed to go out that way for the set up!” (in a totally different show that the writers definitely knew would be a reality someday)

Actual take I’ve seen before. That show also shifts the dynamics around with the audiences relationship with Dexter so not a fan. I’ll explain. Imagine if Supernatural had a spin-off show that said: “erm actually the Winchesters were pieces of shit the entire time. You should hate them actually. Because technically they were still killing people even if they were irredeemable monsters!”

Then Sam and Dean are killed off by Adam and that found footage werewolf they chose not to hunt.

That’s how that ending feels. So no that “setup” isn’t a good payoff to either series. I’ll just pretend the show ended after S3.

My breath ragged and my legs shaking as I struggle to keep standing with one arm on the shower wall:

“Are we done here?”

The 3 blade razor I bought from the dollar store:

“Not even close.”
