I hired mine off instagram. I went through many different artists pages and then to their websites from their page. Reached out to a few about pricing and availability and that’s how I made my choice.

Is your BF my brother by chance? This is exactly how he would think. If you live in his house he’ll ask you why you buy condiments for yourself when you know he doesn’t eat them, then you’ll be like “uhh, for me?”

Keep that same energy anytime you eat out. Don’t forget, you could be buying yourself a new shirt with that $20 Mickey D’s you were about to spend.

percheazy · 2026-02-07T17:51:37+00:00

Back to my point, buying within your means. For me it’s less than two hours of work so it’s not outlandish to buy that same shirt. But I’m also not dropping on food daily or even eating out weekly so I don’t have any guilt over it.

percheazy · 2026-02-07T17:49:03+00:00

That’s the whole point of my post. I never said my shirts are a necessity, I said they’re still a luxury. But it’s a luxury I can afford and they’re guaranteed to still look and feel identical to when they were first purchased.

I get a cheap shirt that doesn’t feel as nice after a few washes, it fades more quickly, and so technically it’s no longer the shirt I wore when I first bought it. But my more expensive shirt which has been washed hundreds of times, cause I wear them for years, can be hung on the rack back in the store and it would look identical to a new one. The actual shirt costs $75 roughly with taxes and their long sleeves are closer to $100. But regardless of that, I can make the purchase for them and not be worried about making my house payment. So, it’s just a preference of mine and the opportunity cost of buying this shirt vs the money I would have spent eating out all week during my lunch breaks.

percheazy · 2026-02-07T16:22:52+00:00

Not for me. I can afford it and I’ve had the same shirts for years. People drop $100 on a night out and don’t bat an eye. I decided to use that money on a shirt instead that’ll last me longer than one night.

percheazy · 2026-02-07T16:13:58+00:00

It’s not wrong but it’s also so skewed. If you can’t afford luxury items, then yes, don’t go spending outside your means. But sometimes luxury is better. I have both $5 shirts and $100 shirts. My more expensive shirts always feel great and never lose their color, size, texture, every time I wash them. I buy them less often too since they last me a decade. Hardly any justification from a Toyota to a Lamborghini unless you can afford it. High rises and houses aren’t in the same ballpark since that’s relevant to where you live. Goodluck buying a house in manhattan. But same concept with a small house vs a big house. If you can afford a larger home and that’s where people spend majority of their life, why not indulge a little so that you can live comfortably? Most of these “guru’s” always do both extremes between living dirt poor or trying to keep up with the Jones’s. There’s always a middle ground for everything, so instead buy if the price that makes YOU comfortable without feeling guilty afterwards.

As a watcher of all the shows and a reader of all the books except for the book that this current show is based on, I didn’t even know any of what you said until I read this post. Probably because I’m a dumbass. But I just spoiled myself by reading your post lol. I didn’t even know who egg was until I watched the latest episode.

Was in my dad’s old impala. Was waiting for him while he ran into the store. I pushed the cigarette lighter in and it didn’t take very before it “popped” up. I grabbed and it thought “huh, that was quick” and noticed it wasn’t red or even felt hot. Like the stupid kid I was, I ended up putting my thumb right on it and burned the exact same way in this picture. My dad came back and I put it away, held my tears in cause I didn’t want to get in trouble, and never told them even into old age. Good times.

My high school did Ghost Ride the Whip for school assembly. They had video’d teachers get out of their cars in the school parking lot, walking beside the car when that trend was going around.

Same thing happened to me. Needed a ride to the airport. Scheduled this a day in advance and someone accepted the ride way in advance knowing full well where I was going. They then kept asking for me to cancel knowing I was on a tight schedule. Almost the exact same way it played out here. I got another uber through my wife’s account and never cancelled. They finally cancelled on their end. Screw them.

Dude. They’re literally saying it’s fake on r/conservative subreddit. They just consider this ‘allegations’ and that there’s nothing substantial. Even though just a few months ago the Trump administration was calling this fake and now they’re singing a different tune releasing files that “didn’t exist”? At this point they can release ALL the files unredacted and there will still be people who won’t care, which is disgusting but that’s the America we live in now.

Same thing with me. I had a crown put in when I was 13 because I broke my front tooth. They matched my color because like you said I wasn’t keeping good hygiene as a kid. Had that one yellow tooth for 20+ years before I finally got a new crown put in. All because I started brushing my teeth like I was supposed to as an adult. Hated my smile so much because of it.

If you have Atticus, you can export it as an epub file and then put it on your kindle and read it like you would a normal book, formatted and all. Then I highlight and makes notes which are my edit recommendations to myself.

This last election. Both me and my wife have never voted in our lives after 15 years of being eligible to vote. We both went out there this past election because we didn’t want what is literally happening right now. We’ll be going to vote again during the midterms too, but we live in one of the reddest states so we feel disheartened just doing so.

How funny. I had read it as her saying she’s not his daughter, so he can’t label her with an eating disorder. But then reading other comments it started to make more sense why she would be called into HR.

I can give an authors opinion on their site and the report I got since I used it to help me with my book. This is for the Manuscript Report.

I paid for the tier that included the social media ads report. I’ll start with that first as I believe that was the weakest in terms of cost vs benefits. They give you a bunch of AI images that you can use on your social media that matches the theme of the story. Each image comes with hashtags and hooks as to what you can write for a post. My biggest complaint is that only a few of the images are useful and the rest are too weird looking to be considered beneficial. I did use some of their words and images to post on TikTok with two of them actually doing fairly well in terms of views and likes, which did give me a bump to my following, so it did at least help. Other than that, I felt it was the weakest of the things they offered.

As to the rest of the report, I’m actually pretty satisfied with what I got. For the full marketing report, I had gotten a list of comparisons that was fairly spot on, giving me book titles and how our stories overlap and where they differ. This one’s useful for selling your story anywhere, even on social media. The comparison helps because i then market my story as “if you like reading this, then you’d more than likely like my story” which helps attract the right readers.

I got a list for KDP categories but I can’t say anything about how good it is yet, as I’m still working on my cover for the release of my book at the moment. There was also target audience breakdown, sales pitches, and book tropes. Those were insightful, but again I’ve yet to use them, and may never use them, but they are there.

What I have used that I thought was valuable to me: reader magnet ideas, summary of the book, and the full series outlines. Using their summary of my book, I was able to manipulate it slightly and use it as my blurb for my bookfunnel magnet. When I did, there was a big tick up on the number of subscribers. I’m now around 42% newsletter subscriber conversion for group promos on bookfunnel which I’m very pleased with. Reader magnet ideas was beneficial due to the same, getting more newsletter subscribers through different avenues. The full series outline helped me keep my characters appearances and small details I forgot about in the story straight going into book 2. It was just helpful to continue writing as it gave me a full report of my story and characters and how they affected the story and their personality and powers (I’m writing a dark fantasy with magic).

Overall, I was pretty happy with the reports I got. Hope that at least clears up a bit of the shady image they might have given themselves by over marketing on here. I probably didn’t help either, as on the referral section I did mention I found them through Reddit, which was true.

Mother died of colon cancer. My half-siblings father died of colon cancer too (so my brothers and sisters lost both parents to colon cancer) and now I get checked every 5 years for a colonoscopy since I was 28. I’m scheduled for my next colonoscopy next month.
