“Sugar Hoarding Charge Is Made,” Montreal Star. March 18, 1942. Page 3. ---- Board Official Says Farmers Are Getting 100-Pound Lots ---- Farmers from the outlying districts of Montreal have been coming to market here twice a week of the sugar and returning with 100-pound bags of sugar, in violation of rationing regulations, it has been learned by officials of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board.
A preliminary investigation has already been made, L. C. Robitaille, local prices and supply representative of the board, stated today. He added that steps are being taken to put an end to this practice which, he pointed out, carries stiff penalties.
It has been a a long-standing custom, Mr. Robitaille pointed out, for farmers coming to market to exchange their produce with jobbers and wholesale merchants various necessities. It was a convenient arrangement for the farmers, but inquiries have shown that a large proportion of them have been coming to Bonsecours, Maisonneuve or other markets in Montreal and regularly returning with nothing but sugar in quantities from one 100-pound bag to several.
According to the sugar rationing regulations, the allotment of sugar is three-quarters of a pound per person per week, he said, so it is quite apparent that many farmers have been hoarding sugar.
"In our inquiry, we we obtained the names of a number of the merchants and farmers who have been dealing in illegal amounts of sugar," he said, "and have given warning that unless the practice stops immediately, severe action will be taken invoking the penalties provided for such offences."

I've been thinking about Bad Parents Jack and Maddie, and how they aren't great even in canon. So like, Vlad actually interacting with them more, as his obsession switches Danny, and just...eyes opening nd falling out of love with Maddie. So he realizes he needs therapy, but as he is what he is and what he has done, well, that makes things difficult. So, Harley Quinn?
I basically almost answered this with a mini rehash of "the Fenton family safety situation is often misrepresented by newer fans who haven't seen a lot of the show" but I mostly realized that wasn't the point, so let me get my act together.
You have activated my trap card, which is "I used to do psych stuff as my main field before I did library stuff", and I can't believe that Harleen Quinzel, known criminal and incredibly visible villain, would still have her license. Like. Even excepting the crime stuff, having her license revoked due to breaking the Hippocratic oath, or straight up having an ethics board boot her personally, I don't think Harley Quinn would have prioritized the NJ medical license renewal. That has to be attended to once every two years. Failure to keep up to date means no practicing in the state of NJ, baby.
If this is happening, Harley is offering services Under The Radar.
Like...probably this is through a service like Betterhelp. Almost no one tracks the actual paperwork for the advisors on Betterhelp. I can see Harley signing on in her pajamas eating ice cream as she gets nostalgic for the life she led when she had stuff going for her career-wise. Vlad, meanwhile, saw a youtube ad and is flinging spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.
Anyway, Vlad and Harley sharing illegal psych sessions over Betterhelp while eating ice cream and talking shit is such a visual. I wish them all the best.

Okay, 1) don't knowingly commit a crime, 2) If you do knowingly commit a crime don't film yourself committing that crime, 3) if you do knowingly commit a crime and film yourself committing that crime don't post that video on social media, and 4) if you do knowingly commit a crime and film yourself committing the crime and post that video on social media don't tag your local police department in your post to make fun of them. Because you'll get arrested for committing that crime and your court case will be messy for you and your legal team.

yuffie has many interesting elements to her but people refuse to move past "i find energetic kids annoying" and it makes me sad
#first of all...... treat kids with the grace + patience you wish you had been given when you were one. just. in general#second.....#god forbid a 16 year old have flaws...! especially when part of the boisterous energy is because she is masking#she has a very strong love for her home to the point she's gone into unknown territory#entirely in over her head! but she refuses to give up#it's an interesting way to look at how patriotism can affect a person when you look at the differing views of protecting wutai that her and#godo have. i'm so interested to see how 'a miserable daughter's homecoming' is gonna go in remake pt 3#given that we know they want to expand on wutai more than they could in the OG#remake intermission as well has been rolling around in my head bc i think its interesting that sonon still wants godo to be respected but#yuffie very much is like. nah fuck that old drunkard idgaf. at least thats how it comes across#i've always felt like the kleptomania was allowed to bloom because she didn't receive enough care or support on top of the patriotism from#young age... so the intermission dialogue makes me wonder if we'll delve into that potentially being the truth in part 3#anyway... rebirth gave such good yuffie + party sibling moments im excited to get more in part 3#especially with vincent because they're one of the funniest not-quite uncle and niece combos#yuffie ringing vincent post-AC and then he goes to cloud like 'tell her that's illegal' instead of just replying to her normally 💀funny af#pettiness off the charts. i adore their 'i do care about you greatly but i'd also sell you to satan for one (1) corn chip' dynamic#ultimately you like and dislike whatever characters#but its always worth looking past the surface level. you may discover that the layers have a unique charm to them#and if the charms don't appeal after that? well at least you now have a better understanding of the character. win/win#god knows i've tried to like characters and came out of diving into their facets -still- not liking them. but more often than not it#gives me some new appreciation of the character. because the depth is there you just have to put the effort in to connect the dots#(this was spurred on by brainless takes i saw in general chat of a public discord. yes i know. my own fault for looking in a godless place)#these tags are 2 short to add proper nuance to my thoughts but you get the idea. this has been my once in a blue moon ramble post o7#might delete later i just wanted the thoughts expelled teehee <3

can i just say props for every incarnation of shinjiro making him look so comfy. he probably never got cold. this is why his design is the best out of literally any persona character and should be the golden standard for all protags in media that fall under the big tough guys who are actually softies at heart trope.
i hope in the inevitable p3 reload remake or some p3 spin off 20+ years in the future gives him a puffier jacket. only then will his design truly be flawless.

Okay so it's like a whole trope of "parent/gaurdian/rival/etc sold me to insert famous band/person/entity/character" and there's gotta be a market around that and you know Azul has a hand in that shit.

I napped instead of attending the meeting tonight, but the Excessive Stick Project drama is getting... hilarious. Getting caught in lies and hinting that this shit is shadier than we thought. Which is awful.
Oh and since it’s beginning to look a lot like Shitscram, we should be getting some good/damning articles in the media. If the “charity” side of this family’s activities gets in the spotlight, I’ll post a link. Seriously, if the articles get good enough, it’s worth risking my location being revealed.
I’m still tempted just to photograph those fucking corporate-sponsored vehicles they have. I get unnerved seeing the dead exploited like this. D:
