  • The “minor prizes” like the one I got were checks to be cashed in, the perfect score girl prize was more like a grant though.

    And yeah I too was surprised and while I was happy at the time (which kid wouldn’t, right), it does feel weird now lol. My guess is that they fucked up their budget for the year and needed to burn the money for tax reasons?


  • For my graduation (non-American country btw), the top like 30 students in school got awards. I was at place 21 or 22 and got like the equivalent of $100. The girl who got #1 (and she had like perfect grades all around, with a shitload of extracurriculars etc) won some fancy language trip across Europe or some shit, said to be worth like $4000.

    Prior to the graduation ceremony I had no idea they were even giving out prizes lol, best I ever got before that was a book






  • I live in a country where strip clubs don’t really exist (I mean I’ve heard of like one existing, that’s it) but when I was 18 or 19 a bar I frequented had an events night where they hired two strippers: a girl and a guy. I went out of curiosity and honestly I felt weird afterwards, standing in a crowd of horny men looking at a woman undressing, and everybody also theatrically showing disgust at the male stripper because “that’s gay”. Weird shit.

    I have however been to burlesque and that’s a cool show, horny but also artsy and fun.







  • We recently moved and had to furnish a whole new house. We had some minor stuff of our own from before like a desk, an office chair, some drawers and a TV, but not even a bed otherwise.

    Save for a new bed matress, we bought it all second hand, off local thrift groups, in thrift stores etc etc:

    • nice hardwood bed frame for $30
    • a beautiful vintage “rococo-style” desk for $80
    • two vintage chairs in the same style for $30
    • this one is more expensive, but absolutely beautiful: a copper-plated coffe table with a world map motif for $100
    • vintage 2 person sofa, still same fucken style, $50
    • vintage drawer $40, another one in a different style for a different room but also similar price
    • rustic kitchen table $40
    • 6 fitting chairs for the kitchen $40
    • cute corner cupboard $10
    • free bookshelf

    …and more. We are now fully furnished, and really nicely so (seriously, it’s beautiful furniture), and it all went for under $700. Now this is over like 5-6 months and took us a fair amount of looking, but we needed to just browse the thrift sites and have access to a car for easy transport, ppl offload really beautiful shit for cheap all the time.
