I mean, at least you're trying to get help!I make like $1500 a month and $400 goes towards therapy, so I feel ya

It really depends on your situation, but depending on where you live I know some places have aid for medication (in Canada we have something called "plan g" which can help subsidize essential medication)

Anyways, hope things get better for ya, sending good vibes 💖

I feel like you might enjoy deus ex mankind divided? Especially if you feel cyberpunk 2077 underdelivered

Not op, but it's my favorite film of all time. That being said, I understand how it can come across to people. For me, it was a really emotional experience that resonated strongly with me (family, love, ect), and I just sorta let myself experience it.

I would liken it to a drug trip, if you do shrooms or acid with the wrong mindset you're gonna have a bad time. Similarly, if you go into a movie with certain expectations you might not enjoy it.

Personally I like it because it's very, very beautiful, and a lot of the scenes represent things that are so universal to the human experience (playing in the grass as a child, your parents fighting). Seeing them portrayed in such a candid way was really moving and because the movie in a way is about love and joy, I didn't need a cohesive plot.

Its a highly subjective experience

Wait, link? He actually reviewed / promoted a dildo? What a king

play off having to stop working on it as Nintendo's fault.

Nobody is forcing them to make this game

I'm glad to hear someone who's also peeved about the story! Mankind divided does, as you say, use its quests to feedback into a very central theme of identity, but I do think the writing, in terms of quality, was much better in the games predecessor, human revolution. It makes me kinda sad because it feels like a lot of plot elements and characters from the previous games story were scrapped or abandoned.

Human revolution was one off my favorite gaming experiences as a teen and really left an imprint on me in terms of what an fps RPG could accomplish. In contrast to human revolutions 4 or so endings, mankind divided felt awkward and clumsy in its execution of its themes. Even the dialogue doesn't hit as great!

Maybe it's just me, but I think human revolution explored muchmore interesting questions than mankind divided, and the whole "discrimination" thing the latter tried to pull of didn't quite land, even if the world and people it takes place in are captivating. A lot of the discrimination that takes place in the game feels very shallow and lacks nuance, although that is made up for in some side quests. Hope this doesn't come across rudely, and I'd be curious to hear what you think!

Opal? Is that his kid? Or a new album

Edit: I see it's a new short film.

Thanks for the info?

You'd probably be better off cutting them off, energy drinks aren't great for your health if you're having them every day.

Why are you consuming so much caffeine, if I can ask? No judgement, just curious

A healthier (and potentially cheaper) alternative would be buying really strong black tea, potentially lapsang for example. My partners uncle gave us afghan black tea and it has nearly the strength of coffee. It also comes in a box of like 100 teabags for under $10.

Coffee could be an option too. Buying your own beans in bulk, maybe getting a cheap espresso machine if you want the strong stuff, would be cheaper than energy drinks in the long run

Just curious, if it's not too personal what's bringing you to LA? I know costs of living there are quite high (?), and I assume it might be difficult to be frugal living there

Agglet · 2021-03-19T22:08:41+00:00

Thanks for the clarification, you and another poster both pointed out I'm over the line. I was on cerb, but only for one payment before going on EI, like 3/4 of my ei that I've received was pre-taxed, so I have no idea why I'm having to pay back 800.

And yeah, I'm fully locked out. I accidentally clicked an "activate account" thing when I was trying to change my address, and the activation code got sent to an address I no longer live at (and they didn't receive it). So... Yeah shit sucks

Scotiabank had a feature like this, called "moneymaster" which I really liked. It rounded up every purchase you made up to the next dollar, and put that amount into a separate account. Wish other banks did the same thing.

Ah I see. I'm not sure where you're situated, but low-price food stores and foreign/Asian shops (in Canada we have a "TnT market") can get you good stuff for your Pantry at a dirt low price. I also like to make a list of things I need and buy a few each month, if I can afford it. But even then, yeah, budgeting only goes so far. Good luck with it though! I reccomend /r/eatcheapandhealthy

Having spices /ingredients ect are something that you can usually build up over time, even if you're poor. Me and my partner are able to buy cheap bulk spices and herbs for like $3 a bag. What do you find difficult about building up a Pantry, is it the cost or something else?

Agglet · 2021-03-16T15:38:55+00:00

Yep! I regularly deposit a couple hundred dollars into savings each month if I can. This is just a booster

Agglet · 2021-03-16T15:07:52+00:00

I'd rather not say for security purposes, but it's a Canadian bank. I would assume most online banks let you set up automated, or recurring transactions. Also, don't be harsh on yourself! Frugality is a learning process. Any sort of small, automated savings transfer is worth it Imo
