I just looked at the price on the back of a book I’ve had for a bit over a decade and it was four. fucking. dollars. Just four with no taxes. No extra 97cents or something before taxes. Just a round number that you would add taxes to.

I googled the price of a new edition and it was almost thirteen! Not an even thirteen, it was like 12.96 or something. Close enough that it’s basically thirteen but if you’re adding multiple items together to try and get the price on a purchase with more items it would add more confusion.

#emma posts #it was also a bit difficult to find a new copy on my phone #the edition I have was selling for wildly varying prices as a vintage book now #but that’s just a kids chapter book from a fairly large publisher #I know inflation happens and stuff but holy shit #buying things at the book fair makes so much more sense now #I bought that for 4$ plus taxes at the schoolastic book fair #it was maybe 12 years ago? #I could look at the publishing date for a better idea #the series had just switched publishers and the first few were being re-released at the time #before the new publisher and the author finished the series #four dollars though #I had to check the book because I know the current price of many paperbacks and I knew that series was still in print #but what lead to this was the price tag falling off an old brush I found from like. 2009 or 2010 #and the tag on this very large brush was seven dollars #which seemed cheap so I looked at current brush prices online but since the exact same brush isn’t being sold and brush prices vary more #it was a bit harder for me to get an idea of it. books though. books I know #I’ve even bought stuff from that publisher recently (they have a lot of novel and comic translations) #but it also struck me how the old price tag was an even four and an even seven dollars but all new ones had 97 or 98 cents #that ten dollars from helping out grandma wouldn’t have even gotten me one book with modern prices #but back then I could get TWO #even just seven could have gotten me a book and some fun school supplies back then #to have that experience now you would need to give your kid a 20$ #I understand inflation okay? I am just taken off guard rn and having realizations

As with the horse poll, please regard these options as sliders. The extent to which each one deviates from 1/6th of the total will determine the amount that canine aspect deviates from the "average."

I will draw the dog we make. :)

when I see something dated 2019 I think “oh that’s not too long ago” and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes

Hey weird question but what happens if you put two reasonably likeable anthropologists of wildly different cultures together in the same room? Do they study each other? CAN they? Is it like an infinite conversational feedback loop? I'm imagining two dogs eternally sniffing each others butts at the park

#at some point I think Ariel will get curious about human archaeology protocols #imagine Milo finding out how hers were frowned upon and being like ‘same’ but also ‘damn. that’s fucked’ #u think the mermaids ever heard about Atlantis? that would be wild #she’d be like ‘yeah. there’s supposed to be these underwater humans but I never found them:/ #so. I’m pretty sure the little mermaid takes place in a more temperate climate. but the original was danish #and if I remember correctly Atlantis was near Iceland #so they would be relatively close as far as oceans go #because oceans are big af #me thinking too hard about Ariel having heard of Atlantis or not #i just haven’t watched the little mermaid as recently as I have Atlantis #mom said it was my favorite princess movie for awhile when I was very young though #and I’m apparently better at trivia about it then my parents are #imagine Milo teaching her sign language or some writing system #although she does get her voice at the end of the movie so that’s probably not an issue #the timeline kinda is but who cares #if Atlantis took place earlier than little mermaid that wouldn’t be an issue. but as it is the two movies were at least a century apart #and in the opposite direction so Atlantean long lifespans wouldn’t solve the problem that way #I’m thinking too hard about the logistics #the way it went with kida though i imagine these two would be talking non-stop

The youth are the future. Why else would the powers that be focus so intently on keeping them small, repressed and controlled? To those of us ushering in new futures, we understand that seeding hope and resilience in new generations is the actual key. Not silencing.

#this is the post that has been haunting me the last few days #and I need to watch/read this series so I can fully experience this joke

I am not entirely convinced that not every adult experiences chronic fatigue and I am instead partially convinced that everyone who says that they don’t experience it are lying.

I literally cannot comprehend a life where I am not constantly at least a little tired and am more often than not more than a little tired. I don’t entirely believe that not feeling this is possible.

#emma posts #i don’t remember how tired I was as a kid #but I know I was like this in my teens too #I was maybe normal when I was three or four #that’s the only time I’m really convinced I might have not been exhausted nearly every waking moment #I literally can’t remember how it was between then and the age of 13 #so there is just a gap where I don’t remember if I was tired #but 13 and after I remember and was and still am always tired

Being a catgirl would fix me

#emma posts #I think I’ve posted this before but it’s still true #I’m convinced I would be like. 45% more stable if I was catgirl #which isn’t 100% but it is a % #my one problem is that I can’t figure out how a catgirl would wear glasses #and I find contacts a bit annoying for everyday wear #I mean if I had to I guess I could. but I’d rather not #and then i would still have to worry about sunglasses and goggles #so that wouldn’t even solve the whole problem #I guess goggles can have that two strap thing going on #but glasses not so much #this question has frustrated me for years and I don’t think you understand just how much it haunts me

How the lesbians got me to watch something “this has lesbians and a catgirl”

Me, a dumbass with simple desires “oh shit fr?”

#emma posts #they got me again #it’s like she-ra but not exactly because the catgirl isn’t the lesbian #which is why she-ra got me faster #the catgirl was the lesbian #if I’m reading the vibes correctly this cat girl might be like ace #which is also a vibe I feel #I know these ones aren’t canon tho #unlike catradora

Squirming in my chair because I see two cut dust hides in the auction house that would make very pretty babies but buying the two would 1. Be more gems than I told myself I could spend on dusthides at the moment and 2. I still need to sell one of my normal breed babies to have enough room for two dragons and I’m only willing to lower their price so much

#emma posts #they would have such cute babies tho #nothing super special. but my favorite colors #it would be over 100g though and I haven’t made that much on wavecrest items #and the amount I made was what I was limiting myself to #I’m never going to buy that vista I have had my eyes on if I keep buying stuff like this #smh #I meant to post this on my side blog

The “me and my weed smoking girlfriends” meme has done irreparable damage to my mind and I have no idea why.

The phrase is literally just up in my head on repeat a solid 70% of the time and I can’t fucking get rid of it

#emma posts #I’m pretty sure this is because of that echo thingy my brain does #it has been going on for MONTHS #since the meme started to be a thing #even after it lost popularity #wait. that meme is TWO YEARS OLD NOW?! #I’ve been living like this for TWO YEARS?! #I want my brain to be doing this with one specific fallout boy lyric again #it was so much better than this #I’m not even sure it was a lyric. just a part of the instrumentals
