Small print: this schedule will eventually drive one stark raving mad.
28-Hour Day [Explained]
Transcript
[A ruler-like timeline diagram that shows the hours in a week. 6 P.M. to 6 A.M. is labelled each day as "Night", however, there are 8-hour long blocks labelled "bed" at different times. Starting with Sunday, it's 10 A.M. to 6 P.M., Monday 2 P.M. to 10 P.M., Tuesday 6 P.M. to 2 A.M., Wednesday-to-Thursday 10 P.M. to 6 A.M., Friday 2 A.M. to 10 A.M., and Saturday 6 A.M. to 2 P.M.]
[Below the timeline, Cueball and a friend are talking.] Cueball: You have trouble sleeping right?
Friend: Only when your mom is over.
[Cueball is now pointing to an easel with the chart above.] Cueball: Since your work is flexible-
Friend: -Like your mom-
Cueball: -You should try the 28-hour day - 20 awake, 8 asleep (or 19/9 if you prefer).
Friend: I prefer your mom.
[Cueball moves forward toward his friend, with the chart behind him. He holds both hands, held together, up in front of him.]
Cueball: It synchs up with the week - you spend weekdays awake normally, then on weekends you can go out all night.
Friend: Just like your mom.
[In a frameless panel, only Cueball is shown from the torso up. He gestures with both arms raised on each side of him.]
Cueball: It means four extra hours daily. You can stay up until you're exhausted every day and then spend a full 9 hours asleep each night!
[Back to both again, but without the chart. Cueball leans toward his friend as his friend lifts a hand to his chin.]
Friend: But how much time can I spend doing your mom?
Cueball: You? I'm guessing three or four minutes, tops.
Friend: ...Well played.
After dying to an atomic creeper in a cave and stressing over potentially losing all his items, Pac returns home to set his spawn and receives a sweet surprise:
His cat falls asleep on top of him and purrs when he goes to bed :')
for my money, labru is head and shoulders above other ships involving them simply due to the unmatched yap potential, i imagine them feeding off each other's energy like they're slipstreaming in mario kart until they start going fast enough to break the sound barrier
besides keeping track of ridership, which you literally do not need special designated cards to do, what purpose does a bus pass actually serve?
why is to use the bus without one like $3.75 now (exact change only, ofc) but having a card (no monthly pass, just pre-loaded single rides) brings it arbitrarily to $2.86?
why can i not use my bank card? it's 2023 so the old "well busses don't have mobile wifi" is out the window.
why are there so many random different prices? low income, elderly, children, post-secondary student, high school kid, corporate pass, special university pass for the special university, regular adult, discounted for pass user, day pass... who the fuck designed this?
why does this piece of plastic (that used to but no longer has my name and face on it, so i couldn't let a partner, family member, or friend borrow it when i wasn't using it, even thought the same profit would be made regardless) have to expire and be destroyed and re-issued every 5 years? that's incredibly wasteful.
why has, in 7 years almost exactly, the price of a monthly pass gone from $56.50 to $92.75, with no actual change to quality of service + they admit ridership is steadily falling?
why are there like literally 4 different types of bus brand or whatever the hell operating in 1 city, where none of them use each others passes/fares/transfers? why do the busses and trains that ARE operated by the region/same company not use the same pass?
why does the bus that connects to the same terminal 1 city over require a whole separate pass?
why does the car ride take 8 minutes but the bus ride take an hour and four minutes?
why are there train tracks crisscrossing the city that do commercial freight twice a day on the same schedule every day, but aren't allowed to share with passenger, even though it'd be extremely easy to work around?
why does it feel like i'm constantly being punished because i don't have or want a fucking car?
I can FINALLY proof-read tomorrow, then Tether Me's last chapter will be posted ♥

I'm going the hell to bed. I'll let you lovies know when Tether Me will be going up ♥
