optics concern, re: needing money but also cons 

So. AC is in 2 weeks, but also I've been pushing to try to get some help covering the costs of fixing my car.

I feel bad about wanting to go to a con so close on the heels on needing to ask for money.

Thing is? AC's been paid for. The trip was paid for. All of it, like, months ago. Hell, mostly out of happenstance by OTHER PEOPLE.

But I still feel bad at the juxtaposition of "help me fix my car, also I'll be at a con."

@Draekos then it’s sunk cost. There’s no way to reroute the money ethically and you’re kinda um, *committed* to asking for repair money because the con was already committed.
