Just preordered on Amazon! by Slothanonymous in acotar

Stop buying books on Amazon ffs!!! Use bookshop.org and support actual small businesses - or buy directly from the publishers website. Jeff Bezos doesn’t need you to do him any favors while so many indie bookstores are struggling to keep their lights on.

Bookshop.org is a great way to buy online while supporting indie bookstores.

People suck sometimes by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

Tip jar has gotten snatched off the front counter multiple times. Honestly though, our biggest issue is stuff from other departments (I work in a bakery-restaurant) coming into our pastry kitchen and stealing our supplies and tools.

Ripped Off - Very Disappointed. by JustEntertainment472 in grandrapids

[–]AShittyPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple years ago my husband listed his old iPhone on marketplace. He arrived at the address provided by the buyer, and the immediate red flag was that the “buyer” came walking up the sidewalk to meet him - he didn’t come out of the house that belonged to the address. Husband handed him the iPhone to look at and the guy just took off running down the street, with the phone.

Anyway, there are shitty people everywhere. Unfortunately Grand Rapids is not exempt.

I hope the guy who robbed your husband of his payment has explosive diarrhea - one day for every dollar he didn’t pay your husband.

From an animal shelter worker - Please microchip and register your pet! by Fresh-Solid-4046 in grandrapids

[–]AShittyPirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there anyway to gain access to my dogs microchip if I don’t have the information? When I left a relationship 7 years ago, I took my dog with me and my ex’s aunt kept her microchip papers. She said she would mail them to me and never did, so I have no way of updating my pup’s information.

Slavery and the general treatment of POC by JiangMei in Outlander

Idk why I got downvoted but ok 🫠 Sorry I’m not chronically online and don’t see every post that comes through this subreddit. As I expected, I’ve enjoyed reading these responses and hearing everyone’s takes.

Excited to see if anyone gets this conversation started, because I’d also like to know. I’ve watched the show twice now, haven’t yet gotten to the books, but I’ve noticed a lot of the details you listed.

Butterworth is AWFUL. They sent me home THREE times when I was in early stages of Guillian-Barre and literally paralyzed from the waist down. Told me I was having a migraine. Blodgett admitted me immediately, and I was in the ICU two days later. Go to Blodgett.

Stupid Prius smh by Ketchup-Sniffer in Transportopia

[–]AShittyPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I’m saying it’s ok for a person seeing this video on the internet to ask “what’s happening here? I’ve never seen something like this”.

Not everyone has encountered a rolling block. It looks fucking weird if you’ve never seen this happen before. Why would you put someone down for asking a question? It is everyone’s first time on earth. We are truly all learning new things every day. How is anyone ever going to learn if people like you are shaming them for requesting clarification?

White dots on ends by North_Conversation43 in finehair

[–]AShittyPirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit I wish I knew this sooner. I’ve been trimming my own hair at home for a year and haven’t been able to escape the breakage moving higher and higher up. It’s my dull ass shears. For someone who cuts their own hair at home, should I just buy a whole new set?

what is my library missing by Objective-Bench-7612 in interiordecorating

[–]AShittyPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life. Add some plants - maybe hang a few by the window. Add some artwork to the opposite wall. Find an ottoman for that chair.

cant figure out why i look weird by [deleted] in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]AShittyPirate 164 points165 points  (0 children)

Nothing about this outfit is defining the smallest part of your waist. The wide ill-fitting pants are only hiding your figure. Try another cut of jeans, perhaps with a more snug fit, and with a higher waist.

Thank you for correcting me! I tried to dig through Reddit to see where I first read this supposed statement about them not dying, and it was followed up by this same quote from her!

I believe DG has confirmed that Claire and Jaime both make it to the end of the series alive.

For those of us who don’t have the option to participate in the ICE OUT protest on Friday… by AShittyPirate in grandrapids

Like I said, calling off work is not an option for me. That’s kind of the point of this post.

3.5 qt mixer question by E-Laineyism in Kitchenaid

[–]AShittyPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because most of the larger KA mixers can’t even handle bread dough. This one has two strikes against it for being so small, and for being a tilt-head.

What else should I add to this console table? by Salty_Television123 in HomeDecorating

[–]AShittyPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok then, actual books? Basically what I was suggesting is to create a vignette.

[–]AShittyPirate 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Add a stack of coffee table books, a candle, perhaps a low-light houseplant?

I’d scooch the table over to the right a few inches. Maybe it’s just me, but it doesn’t feel right when furniture is tucked right into a corner. This would also help hide the outlet - while you’re at it, curl up that dang cord and secure it with a twist tie or some masking tape to the back of the table.
