Amu Tsukiyomi-sama ....that is a ridiculous number of skullheads.
75 for a SWORD?!
And likely not a cool one at that.
and it also requires other things along with those skullheads. i forget what things, though. i'd have to look at the formula again the sword in question

Amu Tsukiyomi-sama Indeed.
It's really annoying when you stop because you realize the 'debate' will go nowhere, but you can't get the other person to stop and be quiet.
Makes me want to smack a ho.
"The sky is blue." "No, the sky is (specific shade of blue)." "Okay sure." "No you don't understand (blah blah blah blah explanation of indepthness proving their rightness)"

pretty much. i mean yeah it'd probably slaughter someone in full plate if you were strong enough to even pick the darn thing up, but as an item with no actual use, it doesn't have much going for it

Nikakaeo Amu Tsukiyomi-sama Yupyup.
I'm gonna smite some people at my stupid ******** grocery store job.
i feel you there. my time working retail (kinda since it was barely busy at all at mother's and mine thrift store back in Hellsville) had a lot of people i wanted to get rid of. might i ask what happened for you recently at your retail job? They've 'threatened' me twice in regards to my second job; threat one - 'if this happens again, you'll have to choose between the jobs' (first week at other job, scheduling conflicts galore, that I tried my hardest to solve, the biggest one ending up being solved by me leaving the new job early, missing the store meeting, and crossing a busy intersection twice in under five minutes, which is nearly impossible to do. and upon arrival being told I'd caused them a lot of problems.), threat two - 'are you making more money by doing this?' "yes." 'You need to tell them that if they want to keep you, they need to give your schedule earlier.' (got my schedule from Teavana, le new job, wednesday afternoon, apparently that wasn't soon enough even though the next week's schedule wasn't final at all.)
Last sunday, I came to work, got a raging stress-induced headache, learned teavana had moved the monthly store meeting to 10 am instead of 6pm, felt sick because of the broken air conditioner the grocery store has, got asked to come in on monday to cover for a guy who had a major toothache (not the type to make s**t up, fyi) and cover his 7:30 am to 3:30 shift that would be until 2:30 because I had to work at teavana at 3, had someone continuing a stupid joke thing they'd come up with which was that some guy from teavana had supposedly come to the store one day last week and they'd decided he was my boyfriend for god knows what stupid reason and when I refuted it by going 'my boyfriend would never come to this store, and everyone at teavana is either gay or taken' they didn't take the polite hint of 'can it' and continued it on sunday.
On monday, I come to discover that every day this week that I work both jobs, the grocery store has me scheduled to work right up until I'm supposed to arrive at my other job. Not only that, but today when I asked if I could possibly leave 15 minutes early, I was told no because 'well...we have no one until 4 (meaning no one to work the express lane during a DEAD TIME OF THE DAY)', so I was later to teavana than I wanted to be.
And the grocery store complained at me in regards to schedule issues tied to teavana.
The pay at the grocery store is 7.70 an hour.
I have been telling them about things that need fixing, like a part of the checkstands where I could pull the entire top off and fully expose the nails, I pay attention and straighten things when I can, I try my bet to be helpful to the customers and not cause the store major issues.
They never have any set schedule, the upcoming week's schedule is only finalized the friday before, I've been asked before to show up to work the same day I'd had a fever, and I've also worked there while I was still sick.
After working there 6 months, the only 'benefit' I received was a card that would give me 10% of all company branded merchandise.
And where I work is an affluent area so quite a few of the customers are jerks.
EXAMPLE: I had a guy tell me as I was ringing his items up that to pay off my college loans I "needed to marry a doctor". And that is an exact, verbatim quote. ******** a*****e. He's lucky I had tact and only firmly told him "I don't do that. I'm more interested in their brain. If they happen to make a lot of money, that's a bonus. But I don't do that."
Apparently it shocked the guy that I spoke back to him at all.
So he also suggested I marry a fireplace salesman.
It's a ******** PART-TIME JOB, and there have been weeks where I've worked 34 HOURS.
Apparently some of the other part-time workers work 40+ and are somehow still part-time....even if they've been worked 40+ hours for nearly a year. (though I cannot prove that one myself...based on my experiences and what I've seen, I find it very easy believing that)
The job is literally making me sick at times and is causing me so much harmful stress it's just not good.
For every day I've worked there this week (which, I only have one completely work-free day this week and because I was asked to come in on monday, I lost some very much needed calming down/de-stresssing time) I have been in such a pissy mood that the only thing keeping me from outright cussing at customers when they come into my lane...pretty much at all...or when they take out their anger over their card being heinously expired and the machine not accepting it because it's nearly two years past the expiration date on me, is my acting skills.
As it is, I've been steadily getting louder in my under-breath cussing when someone comes into my lane.
and it's getting more audible....and I can't exactly make it be quieter....I've tried, but I'm starting to really lose the ability to give enough ******** to make sure I don't piss them off and can use them as a reference until I get a better one...
I'm pretty sure that on sunday I will be walking in and telling them that I will work what I've been scheduled for that monday-sunday, but I am quitting.
If they ask me why, I think I'll go with something about how the job is damaging my health. Which it is.
Or maybe I'll be a bit more truthful and say that the stress the job causes me is not worth the pay.
Though I'm not very likely to say that one.

okay yeah those are some serious reasons to want to smite people at the stupid grocery store job. how in the seven hells do you legally get people working 40+ hours for over a year as part-time employees, and how can you say someone who has been informing of safety issues and helping customers and NOT pissing them off (as much as is humanly possible in retail) is causing them a lot of problems? that "marry a doctor" guy was an a*****e no matter how you look at it. and the only thing i can think to suggest to help is to find some kind of rage-inducing thing (video game, punching bag use, etc. etc.) you can hit and yell at to let out some of/a lot of the built up stress. might lose a little sleep, but if it helps, it'll be far better for your health to have less stress in your system. though quitting the apparent shithole job of the grocery store is probably a fairly good idea. good luck either way

Just all around, it's a terrible job.
And yes, I was forced to be part of a union.
And the problem is that the things that calm me down, most are extremely temporary at best...and the one that has a really lasting effect...can't really happen very often.
