u/Isa-Me-Again

Who are you that rules this world?
Your faces unseen,
your names unknown.

Investors they call you,
using money unclean.
Our lives you wish to own.

I can see who you are
false king and queen,
upon your bloody throne.

You are greed incarnate
with evil plans so keen,
and hearts made of stone.

On islands you hide
as our world screams
a dreadful, deafening tone.

Though you can't hide forever
using your wicked schemes.
You shall reap what you've sown.

Hi. I'm an addict and I'd just like to say

This world is fucked up, more so every day.

You see, you're an addict too

And that's just what they want.

If you're addicted they can control you

And your cousins, uncles, and aunts.

Maybe it's food that you're addicted to.

Or perhaps it's your phone that's glued to you.

For some it's drugs, TV, or money.

Others need candy sweeter than honey.

Whatever it is that you need so bad

Is the same thing they will use to make you sad.

The moment you even think about stopping,

You remember the addiction and your heart starts dropping.

"How can I live without this thing?"

You'll ask yourself as you start spiraling.

"I can't give it up, I need it too bad."

Not having it starts making you mad.

The anxiety grows and your resolve starts to waver.

You'll make an excuse, "I thought I was braver."

At this point, you've already made up your mind.

"It's too hard to fight" and you chose to stay blind.

So we give in and the cycle repeats.

With them at the top, and addicts in the streets.

Does this happen to be an old problem that has a fix that I can do? Thank you in advance for any help.

This is one of the things that I truly wish they would fix about the game. You don't get 20 ticket summons until what is currently the end game. Even then, that's an entire day of leaving the game on. It already takes several hours just to get through what they give you daily.

They either need to lower the amount of items they give you and up the experience gained from the smaller amount of items, or they need to give us a way to go through the tickets faster.

When >!Delilah confides in Joe (someone she barely knows and for no reason at all other than she just offered up the information because the comedian was brought up) about the Comedian assaulting her, but then immediately follows it up with "49% of the people in the world deserve to die in a fire and you're one of them. I don't know what kind of bad you are but stay away from me and my sister."!< Paraphrasing. The kicker? She does the exact same thing in the very next episode!

NOBODY >!confides dark secrets into someone that they think is a bad person that deserves to die, and then does it AGAIN of their own free will.!< I have ignored most of these moments in this show until now. This was just hands down the worst "for the plot" moment I have ever seen in a show. Holy moly that was awful.

I started playing about a week ago and I've been wondering when it was going to hit me with the first wall. The pacing goes from getting 1 or 2 t-levels a day to what will probably take multiple weeks for a single t-level. It just felt like an absolute backhand.

I'm still going to play and put in the time it takes, but holy hell does that REALLY change how the game feels. It instantaneously goes from fun to "holy crap..."

::tldr:: if your central AC unit is struggling to keep your house cold and it takes long into the night to cool it back down after a hot day, a window AC unit may lower your electricity bill by reducing the workload of the central AC unit and allowing it to shut off earlier at night, and allows it to take breaks throughout the day.

Now for the long version lol. My electricity bill went down roughly 10% comparative to last years bill from the same month after buying a window AC unit.

Before the new unit, my central AC struggled during the summer to keep the house cool. I live in Lynchburg, Virginia where the summers are humid, and this one is particularly warm. Even with the central AC on, during the hottest part of the day the inside of the house would get up to 86°(30°c) and the central unit would continue pumping all day and not have the house cooled to 74° until about midnight.

Cut to this year where I was prepared for it and bought a window AC unit to help the hottest part of the house stay cooler. The Unit is a little 6,000 BTU meant to cool off my work-from-home office that had terrible airflow from the AC. I fully expected my bill to go up some, but I was okay with that for the comfort.

What I was not prepared for was my entire house staying at 74° the entire day and my bill going down. After contemplating what happened, it appears that the AC is able to shut off and on throughout the day rather than pumping the entire day, as well as the house not needing to cool down until midnight, as it needed to previously.

I hope this helps someone if they are in the situation I was in. Thank you for reading. Have a good one!

As far as I can tell, they don't sell the used phones/tablets. So why are they buying them? Thank you in advance for any help.
