Which is why it seemed unprecedented. :lolol
That said, I am focused on whether Jujutsu Kaisen will be like Demon Slayer as well, not being tampered by the editors to milk more money out of it. Cause after Demon Slayer ended Jujutsu Kaisen seems to be the next best thing to popularize within the realm of Shonen Jump.

Oh, shit, I'm so sorry to hear that. That is an incredibly unexpected expense!

God knows you probably don't need strangers on the internet giving you advice or offering solutions (everyone who doesn't run a business thinks they can fix how you run your business), but, like what are your options? I can't imagine a $22k increase is going to make shipping anything even close to worthwhile, but is it a shipment you can skip at this point? How locked in are you?

Not the worst thing to get all things considered, I can see him being pretty helpful down the road, heck, I grailed Siegfried. Me, being the poor man I am, and just because I don't want to spend a penny for a free game, am skipping the GSSR... For the third consecutive time.

I already got Arjunort, and Sima Yi before him, and since I didn't get First Hassan, I'm going to wait for Foreigner XX, to fill my Foreigner slot, than Merlin next month, to have a supportster who's in the meta.

Dang... I don't know what advice I can help you with. But if I were in your shoes, I'd probably give up on whatever's in there, if you still can. But alas, I don't know what to tell you, or how I can help, so hopefully, you'll be able to get out of this mess. Really sorry to hear that, buddy.

Yeah there's not a lot of options. We're dealing with an extremely large number of goods worth significantly more than 22k. If I were to wait, the shipping cost could go up even more. Manufactured goods are not allowed to just sit at a warehouse or else incur storage fees and potential loss or damage. It also costs money to dispose of goods.

It's a unique situation and when I think about it, it really feels like capital extortion. We take for granted just how much the world economy relies on metal boxes carried on a boat.

22k basically eats into any expected profits for the whole year and I'll be operating at a loss for as long as I can. I feel really bad for all the other small business that are hit by this surcharge. Big companies will be able to swallow this charge and make up for it elsewhere.

If you all are able to, please support small and local business whenever you can.

Oof. Man, I'm so sorry. That is a totally shit hand you got dealt. I've had some weird cost increases happen over the last year due to COVID-related market recalibrations -slash- a whole bunch of people looking out for their piece of the pie at the cost of anyone else in the industry, but nothing on that scale.

It certainly sucks when all you can do is, like, eat it. Shit rolls downhill, and the hill is very very high. Those bigger industry actors will find some way to pass their costs along to you, and the best you can do is try to figure out some way to stay afloat.

While there's maybe nothing else you can do but weather the situation, and there's sadly not much I can do as a guy on the internet, at least let me say that I believe in your ability to weather it. I'm rooting for you!

Someone actually send Butch Hartman a SHF of Kamen Rider Ghost.

I never stopped to think about the fact that Ghost is Japan's Danny Phantom.

Now we can bring more people into the chaos that is Tokusatsu, just like how the V-Tubers are singing Rider and Sentai themes.

GLORY TO SHOCKER!!!

OH WOW. :lolol
This is hilarious and awesome at the same time. :lolol

I may have just introduced a bunch of YST/RW fans to Kamen Rider.

Has anyone here ever had to file a dispute with PayPal?

Yep. They're very difficult to lose if you're a buyer.

Okay but "K-Man Ghost Rider". I'm dying. :lol:lol:lol

Now someone send a Necrom figure to the creators of Ben 10.

I tried but there's a time limit to where you can open one. 180 days from the transaction date

I thought that creep got eaten by a bear.

Or maybe that was just wishful thinking on my part.

LOL, where did you get that idea? Also, why did you call him a creep?

guess you're out of the loop

the guy literally has controversies out the fucking wazoo. man's out of control tbh

Pretty much that. I mean first and foremost there's scamming fans, the fact that he's a whackjob, and as I understand horribly unpleasant to work with.

Something about a streaming service failure, having people pay $200 for a not-so $200 traced artwork, being just generally unlikeable.

Among those things, I've read about.

I'm just waiting for the Danny Phantom and K-Man Ghost Rider crossover.

Dang, that's a shame.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I kind of figured it was common knowledge at this point.

Nah, no problem. I didn't know he was the creator of Danny Phantom until the bit with him getting a Ore Damashii was brought up. :lolol
But hey, better late than ever so next time I won't be dumbfounded when people are disgusted by the mention of his name.

Knew about the streaming service but not the artwork. What happened there?

Thanks. Made an interesting read.

Gotta love depression-induced insomnia.

Oof, I've been there.

Pokemon Unite, quite fun.
Never been too big on MOBAs, but I have played enough to know the general basics. Not too big a fan the emphasis on fighting over tower protection and positioning, but hey. It's nice to punish people who go chasing kills.

I noticed that my Jack Russel started slowing down, gaining weight and sleeping more recently.

Then it hit me: my Jack Russel has gotten old. And now I feel old.

Anybody know some tips on how to keep an old Jack Russel happy and healthy?

I'm still here and alive. Y'all are decent folk.

Talk to us Deepsea, this is a safe space. Glad you're doing okay though. It's important to keep spirits up, especially at times like these. Stay safe, get some fresh air, drink water, have enough rest. Peace.

Oh for good news in my life: I got a job at the local grocery store!

I have been drinking more water lately too.

What else? What else?

Life is overall well, but can be overwhelming too. I'll keep y'all updated either way.

This is going to sound dumb, but I'm super-serious: Everyone needs to drink more water. Not soda or energy drinks or coffee, water. Increasing the amount of water you drink daily... like, you will be amazed at the kind of positive effects it can have on your emotions, your body, and your mental acuity. Stay hydrated, y'all.

I've been drinking from a 32oz jug all day every day since 2013. I'm frequently amazed how many times I go through the damn thing.

The heat especially emphasizes this, it's ridiulous how hot it gets now

*slowly freezes to death down here*

The UK is too hot this week. Please remove 3 degrees from the temperature and pump another glass of water into my veins.

Will do friend.


Yeah this is the tough part, getting up to fill up the water bottle can be annoying.

yep I drink out of a 48oz bottle and the amount of times I procrastinate from filling it up is unreal

I was looking forward to my job interview on Monday, but it turns out that the company is an MLM company. They are a pyramid scheme and they also have tie-ins with other shaddy comapnies. I called them on the phone and told them that I didn't want to work with them.

To think, I was looking forward to working at home and making $15 an hour.
