ughhhh

i am just extremely frustrated and would really like someone to give us some kind of solution but i doubt there even is one and i can't get my mind off of things and i'm stuck at front because of this frustration and i just need answers
-F

i would really, really appreciate people who are able to explain this in detail and help us understand what we can do to fix it though
-F

i appreciate the people trying to commiserate and offer support but right now that only seems to be making us more frustrated for some reason

i don't know why

i just want this to not be a thing we have to deal with
-F

like $65/mo is already more than we'd want to pay for internet but fuck if we're paying that much we'd better be getting gigabit for it

and they're not even offering us symmetric

despite the fact that they do offer it

because we're at this apartment complex we just Can't

why

i can't even explain why this is so intensely frustrating to us but i am very much fixating on it right now and i can't stop being frustrated and i can't do anything except be frustrated right now and it's just Bad
-F

just, how does this make any kind of sense, to anyone
-F

just... does anyone know what can be done here

can someone provide *some* kind of help
-F

very frustrated at centurylink now

they advertise a 940 megabit symmetric plan for $65/mo, or 100 megabit symmetric for $50/mo, if i try to get it by their main website

but the apartment complex has a contract with them that apparently locks us into paying $80/mo if we want 1 gigabit symmetric, or $60/mo for 100/50

why

why the *fuck* can we not get the cheaper version of the same plan solely because the only apartment complex in the area with openings has some kind of deal with them
-F

what is a good price for internet service anyway? Is Centurylink better, or is Bend Broadband the way to go? The stuff they say suggest centurylink is better, they give symmetric service and seem slightly cheaper
-F

the prospect of having a job and living situation where we don't spend 70% of our monthly income on rent is a strange and alien feeling

Rrm. Feeling very affectionate and appreciative of loved ones today 💚

our friends are all wonderful people

"if you ever encounter the e-th root of pi, put down the abacus and step away, something has gone horribly wrong" is one of the best quotes we've ever encountered, honestly

Emergent phenomena are fascianting

why do people not read profiles before follow-requesting?? it's *basic social etiquette*
-F

@Duskhorn Hi, did you read our profile before sending that follow request?
-F

this is just a random realization i got while watching a numberphile video that mentions how the sum of the reciprocals of all numbers that don't contain a 7 in their decimal expansion (or that don't contain a 0, or a 1, etc) converges, which means they're less numerous than the primes since the sum of the reciprocals of the primes diverges
-F

saying that the sum of the reciprocals of numbers in some infinite set converges is essentially saying that the numbers get bigger faster than they get numerous
-F

there's a surprising amount of mathematics that's just like, "all the experts think this is true but no one has figured out any way to prove it's true yet"
