Save Big on Kia EV9 Air

If you’re looking for a new car – we have good news for you! Kia has slashed the price of the Kia EV9 Air for a limited time only, bringing the vehicle under the Luxury Car Tax threshold (below $89,332 plus on-road costs). The price drop means extra savings for drivers, who will also benefit from Australia’s Electric Car Discount, as eligible EVs are exempt from the 47 per cent Fringe Benefits…

all the while society conflates "being an adult" with "having a proper job" and "having money to make arbitrary Adult Purchases" disabled people who can't work - or can only work part time or can only do entry level baby jobs - will never be 'allowed' to be adults

you can say "being an adult is looking after yourself you don't have to have a job!!!" all you want but most people who say that will still assume anybody who doesn't either can't or won't 'look after themselves' actually. and every 'marker' of 'adulthood' that's observable and thus actually counts or whatever loops back around to... having a job and 'contributing' something

Payroll docked me a full day & a half's pay because my report's admin absolutely sucks at their job & screwed me over, so I really need to make just about 150$ to keep from dropping into the red in my bank account, until I can get this paid back on my upcoming check.

For 25$+, I'll do cute chibis & 45$+, I'll do a more serious style,with some examples of Flint & Rinn below! I'll have the palettes I'm using at the bottom of the post...

The U.S. Department of Treasury’s gift to electric-vehicle shoppers (and global automakers) for the new year was to make many more EVs and plug-in hybrids eligible for the federal tax subsidy of up to $7,500 — including vehicles built outside North America — as long as drivers lease them or buy used rather than buy new.

EV credits and [rules] took effect Jan. 1.

One category extends the former credit of up to $7,500 for consumers buying new EVs and PHEVs, but it puts new limits on vehicle price and buyer income and will soon add requirements for the sourcing of EV batteries and materials. Additionally, since August [2022], it has required that the vehicles be assembled in North America.

A second is a new credit of up to $4,000 for buyers of used EVs.

A third is a “commercial” credit for businesses acquiring EVs. It offers up to $7,500 for light-duty vehicles (under 14,000 pounds) and up to $40,000 for heavier vehicles. Significantly, the commercial credit does not have the origin, price or other restrictions of the credit for consumer buyers.

On top of all that, the Department of Treasury guidance released at the end of December allows the less restrictive commercial credit to also apply to vehicles leased by consumers; that means most plug-in and fuel-cell EVs currently on the market can qualify, including those built in Europe or Asia. The credit goes to the leasing company — the vehicle owner — but it can be passed to the consumer in the form of lower lease payments.

The new federal rules do not affect state and local subsidies available for EV buyers [which may be able to get you even more savings].

AU where shen yuan is the svsss universe’s equivalent of karen heyer from ‘the crimson lady’ manhwa and has lived his life as shen qingqiu over a hundred times and slowly grows batshit insane with each time reset.

so when he finds himself repeating his life once again he finally snaps and murders everyone in the cang qiong mountain sect.

ok but rarepair WHO and HOW and tell me nooow

Ok this is the double bonus WIP doc even though only one of the WIPs is about a rarepair. The rarepair is Jonas/Mathieu, which is somewhat un-exciting I think because they are literally NEVER PICTURED TOGETHER and have NO CHEMISTRY. So it's not like a fun rarepair it's a de facto rare pair if you know what I mean. Anyway! The concept is this:

Jonas is on vacation in Benidorm sometime after his season ends. He starts talking to a ripped-looking blonde guy on grindr named Mathieu (yes, he would use his real first name, he obviously has no face pics so it's fine). It's going well, they make plans to meet in Jonas' hotel room.

Right before Mathieu arrives, Jonas checks the group chat and sees a message from Wout about being in Benidorm for a cyclocross race and he's like "oh fuck oh god that's Mathieu van der Poel" and tries to leave but it's too late, he runs into Mathieu in the lobby. Mathieu figures out what's going on, too. They decide it's a good idea to sign NDAs even though they didn't actually hook up, they both saw each other on grindr and their respective teams would think it was for the best. Here's all that:

Anyway at this point Mathieu is like "well actually what if we did hook up" and I think they do, most of what I want to get out of this fic is

getting Jonas and Mathieu to plausibly hook up, and

Jonas realizing that he's going to have to like, interact with Wout knowing that he fucked Mathieu van der Poel. Wout is straight in this one so he doesn't care in that way but Jonas is like "he's going to be so mad at me" even though I don't actually think Wout would be mad.

and a secret third thing, maybe it ends up being a regular thing and I get to write awkward scenes where Mathieu appears on the bus, at training camp, etc. I just think that would be fun. Even if Wout's not mad about it I still think it would be pretty funny.

So yeah idk I'm kind of stuck on the sex scene with this one because, well, it's a random hook up and it's going to be awkward and I'm also not entirely sure what they're both like in bed yet, but I add onto this a little bit every month so maybe some day it'll make it out of the drafts!

was SOOOOO scared i was gonna owe the govt for the first time this year bc of that fucking 2017 tax plan finally hitting the lowest tax bracket or whatever but either my brother is a tax whiz or i have another year bc im getting a RETURN big enough to nearly completely cover that fucking family cruise i have to take next year that i was so stressed about lmaoooo thank GOD frankly !!!

[unloneliest]

the problem of the matter is i did internalize so much of what ex friend believed about me. even though i knew he was wrong and knew what was happening and tried to stop it and if i took more action to stop it would have been abusing power i held in a way i couldn't live with myself for.

hello, so, I'm moving in two weeks and this is all very good news, but I have two weeks to get my apartment entirely cleaned and I need some supplies for it and I still don't have a working car, so for what I need I have to order groceries. This means I need $60 (minimum order has to be $35, plus delivery fees and driver tip). If you're able and willing to help, here's my ko-fi and thank you

Re: you are playing half-life

1) GOOD IT'S GREAT, needs a bigger fandom outside hlvrai. Also maybe look into Black Mesa- the fan made modern remake that is *absolutely beautiful,* one of the few games that would probably actually be worth $60, but is actually only $20, and is a faithful recreation with modern technology.

2) siren pups are called houndeyes! Headcrabs are probably p obvious, but also, the squid face dogs are bullsquids, and the three-armed aliens are vortigaunts!

3) pleas don't slander my boy Barney Calhoun like that he's just a security guard not a cop and in fact is canonically, actively anti-cop/anti-facist in HL2 please he doesn't deserve to have his game rejected like that PLEASE LOVE MY BOY-

Ok im sorry that's all I'm done I'm just passionate about these games I hope u enjoy them ok bye <3

!!! Oh bro you’re so good!! I absolutely LOVE people talking about things they’re passionate about and have a bunch of facts to share!!!!

I KNOW THE NAME OF THE HOUNDEYES NOW!!! Today is a good day :)

I shall play Blue Shift then fuck yeah!!! Was just about to start Half Life 2 so I’m glad I found that out beforehand and play everything in series! I’m absolutely gonna check out that fanmade game that sounds so cool!

As a kid I was pretty much fully isolated from video games as a whole and honestly it’s been a BLAST playing games that are spoiled or well known for many but completely unknown for me! I finished playing the Portal series a few weeks ago and MAN I now know why it is on such a high pedestal!! The games are wonderful and the characters are absolutely iconic. Currently going through well known earlyish PC games, the Doom games, Portal, Half-Life, and slowly chugging my way through chronologically so I can see how video gaming as a whole progressed and evolved! It’s so neat! It’s really hard trying to play a few games though, lots of games expect you to know a lot of stuff so I have to watch lots of videos to make sure I’m not forgetting a Super Important button that does a Super Important Game Mechanic. It’s so cool tho!!!! I’m having such a great time!!!!!!! Thanks for the ask my guy!! :D

HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH OC DESIGNS THEY'RE SO AWESOME!!!1!!

I was going to just be like “I just come up with silly ideas and draw them” but I feel like that’s far too vague of an answer, so here’s something a little less vague :3

Whenever I design a character, I usually just start out with a very basic character trait or two I want to incorporate somehow (extra limbs, fish tail, wacky face, etc) and start sketching out the character from the head down (though I do do legs first before arms just because I think it’s easier). Then, once I reach the body, I start looking around for clothing ideas! I usually use pinterest (it might be filled with stolen art and ai generated garbage but if you know where to look, you’ll eventually just get shown photos of clothes and accessories), specifically my pinterest board filled with clothing and accessory inspiration, and pick a few items I think look nice :3 (if you really want to be fancy, you can arrange the things you pick in a moodboard, but either way is perfectly fine!) then I just. Let my brain go off! I usually listen to music whilst I draw, so sometimes that gives me inspiration too. Sometimes i’ll add extra accessories to the character’s hair or head after i’ve already finished their design, sometimes i’ll color in the sketch before I move to the lineart, but for the most part, after I pick a few character traits and items, I just let my brain come up with whatever it thinks will look good. TV screen for a face? Sure! Shiny ears? Of course! Tail bracelets? Sure, why not!

Really, at the end of the day, most of my character design process just comes down to whatever I think looks neat :3 Just make whatever you think looks neat and have fun!! :D
