Re: my new laptop, my friend showed me a way to obtain Windows licenses for under €5. Just in case, I entered my single-use card number from Revolut, but Windows works! And I just installed Castaway Stories. I've never had that many frames per second. Mind as well drop all classes this semester because I'm hyperfixating again

Did more research on the Switch 2 and people are fuming mad over needing an online membership, for one thing.

But I did my chores, spent time meditating and ate some oranges.

I even checked on the tracking on my packages from Japan and Australia. (The majority of this was bought before the tariffs were in place. One item was a freebie for my subscription membership.) My mother is waiting for her yarn craft supplies from Denmark.

Nevermind the fact about the heavy feeling, we're doing fine at home otherwise. My parents and I are working our respective jobs. I work as the housekeeping and I am doing better. Tomorrow might be a potato day...baked in the morning and mashed at dinner. I just love when I get a lucky day. It could happen.

Been thinking about my primary care physician. I am doing so much to stay on program with my parents in terms of eating well when it comes to fruits and veggies, but I sometimes think about her as a cross between being organized as the character Dr. Gregory House on "House, MD" as portrayed by Hugh Laurie, where she'll teleconference between 19 other doctors I see to help with ongoing issues and willing to help me, even if a laugh or two is exchanged, like Dr. Hunter "Patch" Adams, the character of "Patch Adams" as portrayed by the late great Robin Williams in those biopic films that sound too good to be true.

I once joked about a hump I had on my shoulders, which was suspected to be Cushing's, I jokingly said "...if it is Cushing's, I could easily shift the hump on certain occasions a la the Marty Feldman joke..." She busted out laughing. (I tested negative for Cushing's and Hashimoto's. I heard treatment for either is painful.)

Yes, I realized she deserves to be immortalized on film. Actually the two of us have such wicked personalities in terms of humor that it does deserve to be a feel good film. (I am on the mend as of late.)

$80.00 for Mario Kart isn't enough. Now Nintendo is charging for tutorials. This is the same company that made almost 946 billion dollars in gross income last year.

This is also the same company that has been running their mouths about tariffs; but failing to mention that many tariffs have been postponed; including the ones for Japan. Why should the US pay more for crap that is imported than anybody else? Nobody seems to have a answer for that question.

What bothers me about this is that because Nintendo is getting away with this via lots of people that are willing to defend / pay for this shit, this will send a message to all other gaming companies who have been taking notes and will also start charging money for tutorials.

AAA gaming is run by a bunch of sheep. If one can do and get away with something, the rest of them will do whatever the thing is. This is how we ended up with microtransactions, mobile games making billions of dollars on a yearly basis and yet, people pretend like they have no clue how things go to this point. I call BS! This has been going on for 10 years and people are still confused? No, they're not.

Defending these companies is costing the very defenders more money. I'm glad these people have really deep pockets, because no thanks.

I took a nap...Orpheus' embrace and I slept rather peacefully.

It has been some time since I took a restful nap. Been feeling like I was going to burn out from the demand of the chores.

For the time being, I am currently working on a color coded project and also look for a bookcase to replace my old MALM dresser for storage. (My room is messed up.)

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

No, not really. Nothing has stopped people from their continued travels of putting themselves in thousands of dollars of debt as a means of a flex. I learned the other day that shopping addictions are considered 'cute' according to the masses on TikTok.

This would explain why the hoarder gets on my nerves. She's spending herself into oblivion because she would rather act her shoe size than her age as means of being 'cute' and flexing to her audience. How charming!

It is only all the chuckleheads on the internet that want people to think the sky is falling because they know people are too lazy to actually look anything up. People are using TikTok as a news source, because TikTok is always a honest source of anything. LMAO! Atozy's YT channel has turned into a channel that mostly talks about people from TikTok and other degenerates from the internet being sent to prison because people have to attention & likes.

Speaking of degenerates of the internet, EA has been busy getting cozy with other big business. Their latest collab is with Lowes. What does FIFA and Lowes have in common? Absolutely nothing. People are not in Lowes to gamble their non-existing money on PVC pipe, washing machines and all the other crap Lowes sells. There are no loot boxes or battlepasses at Lowes. Last time I checked, Lowes doesn't even carry Steam cards anymore because arseholes were attempting to money launder with them.

At least with sims the collabs that were done in TS2 made sense. I know they've done collabs with TS4 as well, but those were just money grabs rather than actually adding anything to the game. Not many sims players were willing to shell out a couple hundred bucks for a ugly hoodie by Moschino.

Internet is special these days and yet people continue to complain about why we can't have nice things. I wonder why; it is such a big head scratcher.

It was OK. I got prescribed some medicine and im going to go have to go on a diet for a week due to heal my digestive problems

I slept in by my standards.

Today, I plan to make my favorite famous rainbow veggie pizza. Lots of sweet peppers, onions and broccoli.

I am pretty good at making pizzas, especially veggie pizzas.

I probably would dream of a opulent lifestyle worth investing into. But for now, I am fine saving up coin.

Was looking at tableware the other day and the prices for normal stuff is ridiculous but not unexpected because it 2025.

I just want decent microwavable porcelain that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. But no its either somehow costing like €400 for 8 people, feels hollow, or there's a gross texture on it. Why must it be so?
Another annoying thing is that a lot is online only so how am I supposed to know if I'm gonna like my service set?? I could get me a set from Ikea for a reaspnable price, but that's not the point. In this super capitaist world where I'm supposed to have all the choices out there why are my options here so limited? There's supposed to be vareity across all price points and yet there isn't. That's why I'm annoyed.

I did get me a giant ice cream afterwards though

I've been ragging on this kind of stuff a lot lately. This too shall pass... eventually.

We Owe The IRS $600,000

Couple makes 240,000.00 a year

Has 400,000.00 of equity in their home

Owes the IRS $600,000.00.

Whose fault is it that they owe the IRS this much? Not theirs because nobody told them that they had to file / pay taxes. Yup and I've got a bridge for sale. Tax day in the US is April 15th and has been for a long time.

I wonder if these people also 'forget' when Christmas and birthdays are? I bet they don't.
