On one hand, i get its about stopping people naming themselves something extremely edgy that might scare a small child ("UWillDie" or something), and yeah its an uncommon name

But also
Its MY name :(

going to mail nintendo of europe /and/ america my birth certificate like "WHY CANT I NAME MY POKEMON TRAINER AFTER MYSELF?"

Guys, do you think TPC will let me use my genuine, real, legitimate birth name in Pokemon Z-A, or am i forever deemed Too Edgy and Inappropriate for having -die in my name? :(

Just feels like ive made too many expensive-ass purchases recently. So being told "you have to give us £67 now or we'll raise your bills to £80 pcm", when i used less electricity than i paid for last month, is not what i wanted to get in my inbox -n-

MY ENERGY USEAGE IS FLIPPED. I USE MORE IN THE SUMMER, BECAUSE OF THE AIR CON.

And now im going to write to them to complain, and ask them to stop fucking with my bills every 6 months because my energy use is atypical /:

love getting an email from my electricity company saying im using too much energy! my tariff needs to go up!

... When back in April they sent me a mail saying "youre not using enough! we're reducing your price"

And last september they raised them because i was using too much...

Publishing houses should publish more description-heavy 800+ page high-fantasy-but-not-romantasy series.
For me 🥺

Jodie 🐲 @gikairan.bsky.social · 14h

Like, over the last few years I've really tried to expand beyond 2-3 authors that I Trust

But I've read more duds than things I like? And even then, the stuff I like just filled a gap?

Don't think bouncing off a certain video game helped me either...

Laying in bed going "I need new fantasy media that sets my brain on fire (positive)"

But also I've been burned too many times with trying new stuff that im almost... Avoiding it now? :I

Like, "haven't read anything in a month because I don't know what to try next" Avoiding It

MISTAKES WERE MADE. TOO SPICY. CANT HANDLE THOSE CHILLIS AFTER ALL

dish tasty tho. Will use.... Less hot chillis next time tho, hahaha

Jodie 🐲 @gikairan.bsky.social · 19h

"yeah I can handle chillis of this heat" I say to myself, minutes before throwing them into a wok and the spice vaporises directly into my throat

Finish work. Go for a walk

Come home and the internet's back

So sorry fellow Vodafone UK folks, looks like they turned off the internet for everyone because they thought I needed to touch grass u_u

Jodie 🐲 @gikairan.bsky.social · 22h

Anyway, basically anything I would use to entertain myself of an evening requires a WiFi connection......
Except for the video game I've decided to DNF because Im not vibing with it

My contract is up in Feb but ngl, im reaally leaning towards switching now. I just dont know how much the early contract break is going to cost, just that 6 months might be £70? And if this one ISP is promising me £200 towards that... hmmm....

Jodie 🐲 @gikairan.bsky.social · 23h

Ah, that will be why the internet has been down for the last hour, and i cant go onto the ISPs website to check if theres a reported issue in my area

Basically their whole service is down, and has been down since 3pm 😖
