three minutes of my fave parts from nico's latest podcast appearance. highlights include:

- 'were you more jealous of your wife looking at another man or lewis hamilton winning a race?'

- editors giving nico a pink wheel when he asks to edit in an f1 wheel. can never escape britneyfication 🥹

- nico finding out the host can't drive and immediately betting him to go karting where nico drives in reverse and he drives forwards to see whose faster

- 'believe in yourself' 🙄 I tried for 10 years and even then in the last race I didn't really believe. But the reassuring thing you can have great success even if you don't believe in yourself 😃 as long as you are so damn committed."

his deadpan sense of humour that doesn't land that will buxton opined over

...and more!

#please watch this took over an hour and crashed TWICE 🥹 #'no. why?' when asked if drivers salary should be in the cost cap #his class solidarity with the 1% jumped out with that one #nico rosberg

BG3 DLC where it turns out Raphael didn't (completely) die if you defeated him and failed his plans if you gave him the crown and either way ended up restricted to his human form (punishment or his last way to save himself) and now needs the main character's help. Bonus points if his class is bard.

#raphael #bg3 raphael #raphael bg3 #larian #larian studios #not that his class isn't bard anyway #but I want it on his character sheet #do you hear me larian #larian please #hire me #this isn't just another attempt to get his romance #I swear #and my fingers totally aren't crossed behind my back #btw #I would write this romance without salary #if no one else wanna #just saying #dmagedramblings #bg3 spoilers

Between looking up houses in LA on zillow for a fanfic and researching how US medical debt works for that same fic, I have concluded that Ray Molina is a hit man.

#julie and the phantoms #ray molina #there is no way they afforded a house that big on a photographer and music-teacher's salary #never mind kept it after whatever killed rose #my other theory is that jatp is a brighter timeline because they didn't have the pandemic #but seriously #Julie looks at the pictures Ray made of their house and says 'these are good' sounding vaguely surprised #Ray looks so happy she thinks so #it's because it's like the third time he used his DSLR for realsies and not for stakeouts for his target or as cover #(also yes I have started writing a new fic before finishing my long fics shut up) #(also YES it may technically be classed as a third foster care au between the Little Dragon universe and the official foster care au) #hitman ray

Ya’ll dont be talking to your ‘trad wife’ grandmas and moms and it fucking shows!

My mother literally had me SWEAR to never ever put my financial needs on a man and she’s one of the lucky ones cause at least my dad wasn’t a piece of shit, and even though my dad is good to her she STILL went back to school to get her masters degree and started a business. Yes, my dad was generous and really supportive (He’s the one who paid for her to go back to school), but at the end of the day, having no real financial control still SUCKED! She was a best case scenario and even she hated it?

Your frustration is with capitalism and the idea of basically having no guarantee of survival if you dont work yourself to death, so I get craving that security by putting that responsibility on someone else but JFC our foremothers fought tooth and fucking nail to change the ‘traditional’ lifestyle because it was oppressive as hell! Do you think they did all that because their lives were fun? Please for the love of god TALK TO YOUR ELDERS

#trad wife #Literally most men will not do for ya’ll what my dad did for my mom #Also they were middle class and my dad was able to afford everything we had on just his salary #that is not the case AT ALL today #Please think for 2 seconds chile

if you reach the end of the month with little to no money, if any unexpected emergency can or has the potential to sink you, if you can barely afford your likes or your hobbies, if most of your free time isn't actually free but in some way dedicated to work, if you have no assets despite having worked for years or decades, if you can't afford holidays, new things, good quality food or toiletries, then im sorry to tell you but you arent a part of the middle class so stop boot licking, ask yourself if you cashed in double your salary tomorrow, would you become rich or closer to owning all these things? but if you missed one paycheck would you be closer to your current lifestyle or would you sink?

#fijate de que lado de la mecha te encontras #the middle class is a myth very little people actually form a part of it most people are WORKING CLASS which is very different #even if u earn a somewhat good salary as long as youre an employee youre working class and ur always closer to poverty than to middle class #so stop bootlicking the rich and get some class conscience #the middle class is supposed to live comfortably well and economical crisis barely touch them #bc they can afford to have a certain degree of economical safety #boluda tag

my work is undergoing a lot of restructuring and we're all getting shuffled off to new teams, and my boss just floated to me a team he thinks I'd be a good fit for, basically doing the same stuff I'm doing now with a closer focus on just fixing problems, ie, my favorite part of the job

If I do actually get moved to this new team though the actual new favorite part of the job is gonna be no longer working under this man

#zip it #seriously though I'd been looking at other jobs before the economy started caving in #and 98% of that reason was being wholly sick and tired of working under someone who gave inconsistent advice and feedback #such as telling me to think of things to be trained in then telling me the classes I wanted to take weren't good enough #constantly telling me my suggestions and concerns weren't priority or should be pushed back #only to be alarmed when they weren't complete and people noticed they were problems #He wonders why I show no ambition well when I brought concerns and ideas to table you threw them out sir #so jazzed since I like my benefits and salary and do not want to lose those atm #constantly telling me to make friends while also telling me to not express my opinions while also my entire team is 20 years older than I a #telling me to stand strong and put my foot down and protect the systems while immediately throwing me under the bus when I try to do so #impossible man

#maybe I should just accept I’ll never understand how financed work(ed) in the record business #I listened to a podcast about 90s boy bands ages ago #the ones who went broke later #and it was all about how they made way less money than they thought #because they didn’t realise they were the ones paying for all those first class hotels and private planes #and paying for all that kind of stuff for their managers etc too #I guess Beatles Ltd would have paid for all the American publicity machine #and maybe salaries of people like Mal and Neil?

almost pulled over on the way to school three times just to cry and think about how fucked everything in my life is rn

#i dont have any money and my job literally cannot schedule me more than one day a week #idk what the fuck im doing in school rn and idk if i want to change my minor or not bc i think id succeed more in creative writing #but i'd have to take a couple extra classes and my parents are already upset that im taking so long to finish school #even tho it was my mom that made me move across the country and go to a new school #so like. obviously there are different graduation requirements here #but my parents dont understand that at all and it's somehow my fault that im taking so long #when i really am not #i'm just trying the best i can while being extremely mentally ill and im just so exhausted #maybe i will take a break from school and actually get a job with a salary #a friend of mine works at a local marketing agency and i could always submit an application #bc i already have an associates in comms and that might be useful

Being in a society is great you go can I have a raise and the CEO who makes CEO money goes ummmmmmm.no and then it’s lab week and they’re like to show our deep sincere appreciation. Here is a notebook or cup with our company name on it. You may have free food for a week

#it’s just so funny all the time. #either you aren’t turning a profit doing MEDICAL TESTING in which case you definitely failed your business class on coloring pages #or you are turning a profit on MEDICAL TESTING (fucking duh) and from your several hundred k salary tower are hand wringing and going ummm y #you know how it is with the Medicare charges #etxt

as a kid I always thought eggs and omelettes were disgusting until I took culinary in 10th grade and figured out my mother just doesn't know how to cook eggs

anyway I'm having an omelette made from farm eggs given to me by a library patron and I just want to give a quick shout out to culinary classes in public education

#if ur in high school i recommend trying to take one even if you already know how to cook #you might learn better ways of doing things #also my culinary teacher also taught interior design which i ended up taking bc it was the only class with openings left #and she is the only teacher who ever taught me stuff about Living In the World #like in culinary she had us make resumes and conducted fake interviews to help us get jobs #as well as training us on food safety and proper cooking techniques she taught us money saving techniques and budgeting #in interior design she fucking taught us how buying a house works. she gave us all fake jobs and salaries #and has us search local house listings and make offers (to her). then she had us do the same thing but with renting an apartment #and assigned roommates to make roommate agreements and budgets with #also its just really fucking fun spending an hour a day cooking and eating lmao

ladies prayer is appreciated! meeting on Monday to find out if I can transfer into the degree program I want!

#the complicating factors are 1) timing and 2) money (this is the main one. affording school on a part-time cleaning salary is interesting) #so just pray that I can ask good questions and get helpful information and that the right door opens. #and that I can hit the deadlines for financial aid stuff if that turns out to be the option for being able to do classes full-time #I've been part-time this semester but the occupational therapy track is only full-time because you go through with a cohort #I really really want to do it! it's just also a lil stressful not knowing if or how I'll be able to #anyway. trying to trust God that he knows what's up because I just pretend to know #college chronicles

having a wishlist: :)

looking at the prices: :(

#being able to afford enough apparel to attend bjj 4 classes a week = an entire salary #p: mine

[local-magpie]

if your class analysis assumes a) college education means you become rich and b) only non-college educated folk are working class, you are a clown and i am not taking you seriously

#sorry cost of living is so high that a salaried wage makes me still considered lower class without being below the poverty line #but i WORK for a living #is it the same as hourly positions? fuck no #but im still in the position of being utterly devastated financially if i ever lose my job #i have zero savings bc theres barely anything left over after i pay food bills rent and my student loans and medical debt #im also LUCKY for a college grad #many with college degrees still work hourly wage jobs #you literally cannot divide up classes by education sorry #we are Also working class #yelling at the void

my favorite part about being s TA (teacher's assistant) is that im now somewhat known in my school's deparment for something other than the girl who dresses aesthetic.

#me #ok look #my mom worked in a clothing store #and had classes for showcasing clothes #and when i was a child she used me for practice #so from a very young age ive known how to dress woth good aesthetics #add to that a salary of my own w9th an obsession for clothes a collecting clothes #i had a reputation for cute outfits #when i dress in 2014 fashion you bet im wearing clothes that i bought in 2014
