Should I get Triconderoga pencils or Uniball pens? How are Triconderoga pencils really?

Hey guys! I happened to find this sub today and even though I have been really deliberate or kind of a maniac about stationery, this sub, in a single day has made me obsessed with pencils like never before. Now, I'm still a student so I can't really afford to buy pencils from other countries since they are quite expensive. But I happen to have a 20-dollar Amazon US gift card. These are region specific so I can only buy things from Amazon US which happen to ship to India.

About 75% of the budget is really being eaten by the customs and shipping lol, so I have very limited options on what I can buy. After much back and forth, I found a 30 pack of pencils by Ticonderoga, and a 12-pack of pens by Uniball. But I'm really confused as to which of them to get. Earlier I had decided on the former because those are 30 as opposed to 12, but I read some things on this sub and also in the reviews, that the quality of ticons has gone down. I don't want to be disappointed when I receive them, so I really want to ask some advice.

More context: Ticon pencils are available on Amazon India and those are cheaper to buy from Amazon India. But even if they are cheaper, since this is a gift card it's basically free money to me, and I don't think I would buy them out of my/my parent's pocket soon. Moreover, the Uniball onyx pens are only really available through a reseller, which is much more expensive.

2-month-old female kitten up for adoption [Prayagraj/Allahabad]

I have this adorable smol kitten, who I have been taking care of since she came into my house. She's healthy and dewormed but not vaccinated (I can't afford it. Thus, I have also been trying to raise it through a fundraiser since it'd be easier to find a home for her)

I have realized that I can't take the best care of her and hence it'd be wonderful if she is welcomed into a new and loving home.

Please let me know in the comments if you would like to adopt her. Only reach out if you are serious and would be able to afford her expenses.

Age: 2-2.5 months old

Gender: female

Spayed: no

Dewormed: yes

Vaccination status: None done

Contact: indigoismyfavalbum@gmail.com

Location: Prayagraj

Vaccination help for Meow!

This cutie has been doing so well now. A few days ago, she got sick with fever and diarrhea but thankfully recovered quickly due to the medications. She was jumping around the next day!

About a week ago, I received a total of 1336 rupees and some wet food + dry. But she has been eating so quickly, like more than 2 packets/day of the drools mousse. I have 1.5 boxes of it left, so I ordered 2 more for her.

You can see what I spent it on: her medicine + food + two bowls. I have about 260 rupees left from the total amount, of which I'm going to buy her litter. (We have been using mud/sand for her, but the smell is really unbearable. Thus, it's necessary I switch)

Now, she's old enough to get vaccinated. I talked to a vet clinic on call to get an estimate of all the vaccination. He said, the Tricat one would cost ₹1200/- and the booster after a month, would be ₹1700. I tried to ask him the total cost, to which he said would tell upon arrival [seems weird to me?!] I also asked if there would be a discount, to which he said yes. I think the cost might be lesser in reality.

I don't really know how much all vaccines cost in total, so I'm going with a goal of ₹5000 [assuming there's more than these two and cost similarly. If not, please guide me as to which amount goal would be appropriate.] I would keep providing proof after vaccinations. Thank you so much for trusting me.

[RESOURCE] Need a specific issue of a paid magazine? I can help you!

Hey guys so I have access to a lot of paid magazines through a Magzter gold subscription.

I have never been able to access paid mags because I can't afford them, so this is a goldmine for me. I thought I can also help some people by giving them screenshots of the most recent issue, or whatever issue they want, of a magazine they want to read. There are literary magazines like Ploughshares, AGNI, The New Yorker [kinda a literary mag for me lol], Poets and Writers magazine, World Chinese Literature, etc.

Comment down and I'd help you!

What's with posting here and getting unsolicited DMs?

I am pretty new on Reddit and after posting just twice here, I have received plenty of unsolicited private messages from men acting 'concerned' or just straight up being vague like "I have got something to say about what you posted". And I'm not kidding, but half of them were NSFW profiles and the other half with minimal account history. All of them end up getting blocked though lol.

I know their intentions so clearly. If they are so worried, why don't they just comment under here? Or just straight up say whatever they have to say without being vague. I know what you guys are trying to do [I'm sure other girlies do too]

I do not lock my dms because I post on other subs too, and I once received help for my kitten from a private message. So yeah.

EDIT: The jokes write themselves because I received one just after posting this lol. From a nsfw profile at that.

Also, guys I can't respond to your comments because i don't meet min. account requirements to comment.

Hah! The one guy with his conspiracy theory in the comments about my karma. What's so difficult figuring out where one should post on reddit? What's so suspicious lol. I got pretty lucky with posting because I posted poems on a sub and got a pretty great response. I have been interested in poetry before reddit. There's your answer.

Everything a lady does is 'suspicious'.
