saw a video claiming that having two cars makes one upper middle class and a bundle of thoughts occurred to me that I'm struggling to word elegantly but it's something about how people can't tell between middle class and the upper middle class and the rich, and therefore don't realise just how rich actual filthy rich people are and how poor actual poor people are. also something about poverty being deemed a virtue, which makes it harder for people to recognise and especially admit their own privilege and luck, resulting in well-off people insisting they are poor and middle class people getting called rich for arbitrary things.

#GRANTED the video said upper middle class not rich. but many two-income families can afford two cars #the question i suppose becomes WHAT KIND of cars. nuance #and other things too. where do the people in question live? if housing is relatively cheap they might be able to afford two fancy cars #reminded me of the post on here where people say owning a laptop is a rich thing. like sweet summer children #nor's rambles

well if y'all don't see me post art for a while it's bc my usb splitter broke >:(

#being super grumpy on main about it #that's why i get for buying a cheap device but come on #two months of light use #attempting to get the manufacturer to give me a refund but we'll see #honestly the REAL problem here is the fact that we stopped puttin multiple USB ports and hdmis in laptops #i wouldn't need a splitter for a laptop made in 2014

poor quality video but I'm making a fake a smart tv interface (html file opened with firefox) to make our tv better for streaming. namely so it can use twitch without a huge delay and play youtube videos without ads. it's still a work in progress though. a bunch of those oddball services are only included so I could check spacing and such with more tiles. also I still haven't put a media server together yet to do anything with plex.

#cheap remote works like a really bad wii remote and it gets really mad at me whenever I get too close to its reveiver #its not going to run off the laptop btw it was just easier to work off that

Mia and Ethan were together longer than her working for the Connection's (if the guidebook is to be believed) and I really think that the Connection's made it explicitly clear to Mia that if Ethan realised anything more than her job being a little bit off then Ethan is dead never mind her actually telling him anything.

And i will bet that a lot of post Baker Incident relationship Mia is still operating under that espcially after them being moved for unknown reasons (beach picture i doubt it was a holiday) to europe for the events of Village. Despite the evidence to the contrary of course like Ethan turning up at the Bakers, most of Village (both Mia and Chris are guilty of that)

#mia winters #resident evil #ethan winters #mithan #saw a post it annoyed me saw another post awhile ago and am wondering how to tell someone to use their imagination #still where was mia when alan fucked up with evie? i don't know pee break? making the “hi baby” message to ethan? both #i want to go back to my fic and add to it (i have so many more ideas but I don't know where all of it is)#which is very annoying #and i also want to go through it with a pen reading it off paper and i can't do that either #home printer currently hates laptop and walking distance library printer is no longer a thing #idea that i think will be fun: there was only 1 bed because connections are cheap and want to get blackmail material to use against agents

i tried turning on my shitty old TV i never use and it basically started smelling strongly of burning plastic and refused to do anything so it may be time to send it to a farm upstate where TVs can run and play

#beep boop #so it's about to be time to acquire a cheap smart TV for me now that i've bothered my mom for all the streaming logins LOL #although i have to research like HDMI cables so i can mirror my laptop onto it

my phone is unfortunately it appears utterly fucked. so i may need to buy a whole fucking new phone while i'm here :melting_smile: yay

#at least my laptop hasn't had any issues #it makes me want to bite something too the phone is only ~three years old #if i buy a new one it'll have to be cheap because i don't have endless funds #c.txt

what does it say about me that the only games i have on steam are balatro and buckshot roulette

#it’s either 1. blaseball gave me a gambling addiction but i’m too cheap to use real money #or 2. i want to play inscription really bad but i dont think my laptop can run it #i also have hypnospace on itch but i haven’t redownloaded it since i had to factory reset 😔 i should do that eventually…

me when I don't take other people's advice and then make a mistake I could have entirely prevented:

anyways turns out a cheap ass hp laptop WILL run like a cheap ass hp laptop, and I'm not special and I will get what I paid for and i hate it here. will i learn my lesson? probably not but this thing is outta the box and running at like. dismal speeds with edge and task manager as the only apps open. full 20 seconds to get anything open. i'm going to see about returning it and just trying to get my surface pro fixed. again. anyways tldr i should have listened to the reddit bros who said hp was garbage

#i had. like. hope that a notable brand wouldn't sell outright garbage but like here we areeeee #anyways rare pissed off taylor moment over but goddamn it #i know this is a champagne problem and i am lucky to be able to have even been able to afford a cheap laptop so don't @ me

Destiny mentioned in bio, legally obligated to show guardian fashion

I made this for a stasis build a long time ago and i have not build the strength to leave it yet.

Also here is a taste of what it usually looks like for me :3

#i used to have a decent gaming laptop #dont make fun of me it was a gift and i was a child #anyway after that thing died ive been pushing the limits of cheap computers #i really need to get an acutal fucking pc #also obviously the helmet was different for the stadis build #it was the marathon helmet #teehee

the absolute state of my laptop (functionally a desktop tower now). this is the third laptop I've done this to (every laptop I've owned). I think laptops are the problem

#i'd ask for someone to shame me enough that i might buy a new one but i've already shown this to numerous ppl irl #and still i persist. in being cheap and not wanting to buy a new one.#mincedthoughts #the bottom laptop peaking out there is my one from work and doesnt count. i cant do nothing on that.

#ooc #bruhh #ik this laptop was cheap but why is the keyboard busting on me after a couple of years #i'ma have to remap like 2-3 more keys at the rate this is going #or get used to using the on-screen keyboard regularly-#winter sales can't come fast enough
