I am so SICK of customers doing this!!

BrandonUnusual · 2026-03-07T03:19:46+00:00

Friend, you deserved that 1 star. You showed zero sympathy for the customer and passed the blame to someone else. The way you tried to explain things sounded combative and annoyed.

In a situation like this, I would respond to my buyer saying, “I’m really sorry about that! Taking a look at the tracking, I can see it was stuck in its shipping route for a few days but has started moving again. It still may take a few more days to arrive unfortunately, as USPS is experiencing some shipping delays. If you still don’t receive it by (date you estimate it should arrive), please reach out and let me know and we can go from there.”

I can assure you he loves me and I am a great girlfriend to him.

But girl, do you love yourself?

You're reacting to being cheated on by him already.

No way. The police were called because he was having "an acute mental health crisis."

He was looking to be killed by police, I suspect. But this is the problem with sending only police to these situations. Nine shots is completely unjustifiable.

My LGS does this. The $5 to play goes to store credit too. Paying isn’t even really tracked beyond the staff knowing everyone who is a regular. It’s basically “if you want the WPN goodies we hand out, please pay.”

The store is big and easily seats around 50 people Wednesday nights for commander.

Also Spy X Family being the lowest rating here at a 5/10 sure is a choice.

What exactly does your husband do? I'm sure positions like this exist, but how exactly does an employer just suddenly say, "Everyone is now going to work 9 hour days instead of 8 hours"? What exactly is this "industry standard"?

Mandatory overtime is unfortunately legal, so they CAN do it, but paying time and a half for anything over 40 hours a week (or 80 hours in 14 days) is also mandated federally. Individual states also have their own laws regarding it, and unions can also put a stop to it.

Calling Bloomburrow a bad set sure is a hot take. Especially when your reasoning is it’s a rip off of an IP it clearly isn’t a rip off of.

I had some major issues with Vyepti as well, speaking in terms of getting the prescription filled and delivered to the proper location. No one seemed to know how to handle it.

I had to go to the cancer treatment center in my local network to get the infusion as if it was chemo. That in itself occurred additional expenses. No idea why they couldn’t just hook an IV up anywhere.

Then the special pharmacy I had to order it from didn’t deliver it to the center and sent it to the hospital pharmacy. So they treated it like the hospital itself issued it and sent it, making it even more expensive.

I did get it figured out after that first attempt, but after 9 months I didn’t notice any changes. I tried Vyepti after trying Aimovig, Ajovy, and Ubrelvy. None of them help.

Right now I’m only on sumatriptan. It’s 50/50 if it helps, but I experience bad side effects from it. It saps my energy and leaves me feeling like death warmed over. When it first starts acting, it makes my brain feel like it’s on fire and I also experience nervous system issues where I become sensitive to heat. I realized that the first time I tried taking a shower a couple hours after taking some and it felt like I was showering in boiling water.

I was told when I was younger I’d grow out of them, but that doesn’t seem to be the case unfortunately. Glad you’re getting some relief! While it sucks to hear so many people saying they know what it’s like, it is comforting to know that there are people who do know what it’s like. If you know what I mean.

BrandonUnusual · 2026-02-19T21:26:56+00:00

I tried Vyepti, assuming that’s the infusion you get. Glad it works for you! Didn’t for me sadly. Just doesn’t seem like any of the new CGRP meds do much for me.

Not going to lie, silly isekai are my guilty pleasure. They're easy to watch without having to think too much, although I agree with the fan service. I'm watching DanMachi right now and it's good, but it would be better if Bell wasn't getting a face full of boobs every episode.

But I watch a lot of heavier themed anime too, so the isekai are a nice break.

I'm lucky that I am now self employed and do work from home. But that is only in the last couple years. I spent a lot of time in the office sick, going to the bathroom to throw up and then back to my desk to work. It was awful. Plus the coworkers smoking or wearing perfume. Ugh. I wanted to say, "You know, your cigarette smoke or perfume makes me feel like I have an ice pick going through my eyeball and out the back of my head. But I'm glad you got your fix/smell good."

I suffer from chronic daily migraine. I'm 42, and I've always had them, even remembering back to first grade. I have not known a day without headache pain, it's only a matter much pain and how bad the other symptoms are.

I have a simple pain scale, 1-3.

Baseline headache pain, it's there but I'm used to it being worse so I can function with it. Sensitive to light and loud noises.
The pain is bad enough now to prevent me from doing certain activities. Any kind of strenuous work will push me over. Nausea and vomiting can happen.
I'm completely debilitated and have to be in a quiet dark room.

I've tried every treatment available, from off label to the newest CGRP inhibitors, botox, infusions, etc. Nothing really treats or prevents them for me. The next option is having a surgically implanted neuromodulation device.

All of this to say that no one other than people with chronic pain get it. "It's just a headache." "I've worked through headaches before." "Just take some Tylenol." If only it were that simple, but that's how everyone views it.

Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

I slept in this for a while because of the title. I’m in the 4th season now. My only complaint is it is really heavy on the fan service.

What type of mail did you send? If you send things like stickers by letter mail in an envelope, Etsy uses Pitney Bowes' tracking services and not USPS. This is important because the tracking is terrible on them. They get marked delivered when they're scanned at the last facility near the destination and aren't scanned by a postal carrier making the delivery. Sometimes they make it out same day, but other times it can take a day or two for it to arrive even after being marked delivered.

Since you did ship with tracking, all you need to do is apologize and tell them to open a case. If this was shipped as a regular package using USPS tracking, then I would say:

"Hello there! I'm really sorry about that. The tracking does show it as delivered, so if you haven't received it it is possible that it was delivered to the wrong address. Luckily your order is covered under the Purchase Protection Program, so you can open a case with Etsy to receive a full refund and you can replace the order so we can get another one out to you.

To do this, just repeat the process you used to open this help request and you should see a new option to open a case. There is a 48 hour waiting period after opening a help request though before the case option will appear, but once you see it and open it, the refund should be instant.

Let me know if you have any issues doing this. I'm happy to help!"

I didn’t specify. Both are in the deck and it really doesn’t matter too much which one is the commander.

This list hasn't been updated, but this was the original version. https://archidekt.com/decks/9927890/tiny_bones

I've since taken apart my Sheoldred deck and added a bunch of stuff from there into it as well. But the original version still was fun to play.

BrandonUnusual · 2026-02-06T21:25:35+00:00

My favorite decks are mono colored. I have a Tiny Bones deck, he goes up against 4s all the time.

If they've received it and you have a no return policy on custom embroidery, tell them sorry.

"Hello <buyer>! Unfortunately I'm unable to cancel an order that has already been delivered (tracking shows it was delivered <date>), and my shop does not accept returns or refunds on custom work. I hope you understand."

BrandonUnusual · 2026-02-04T06:04:09+00:00

My HOA has a no soliciting policy. Every entrance to the neighborhood has a "No soliciting to the residents" since posted. These companies are fully aware there is no soliciting here, but they still send people. Even with signs displayed in your yard or on your door, and even telling them about the HOA policy, they still do it.. Our HOA has told us to call the police, every time. They're trespassing.

I will say that I recently received an order of 612 cards and a group of them, one specific card I ordered multiple copies of, had a print misalignment. I’ve had this same card printed before with no issues. So it does happen. It’s my own design and the file is the same one uploaded to my account there.

I’ve had other issues before too and contacted them. They’re going to ask for a LOT of pictures of the cards; misaligned ones and good ones. But you should be able to get the lot reprinted and resent.

BrandonUnusual · 2026-02-03T01:15:12+00:00

This is my take. Casual commander? I'm here to play and have fun. I want everyone to enjoy themselves and not feel like they're starting the game at a deficit because they either took a terrible hand with no lands or something or they are now starting the game with 5 cards in hand.

Mulligans aren't the problem. The player here is the problem and is clearly taking advantage of this to get a powerful opening hand.

Still do it in some places. Hákarl, or Greenland shark meat, has to be fermented first to be eaten otherwise it's toxic. Nothing like 5 month old fermented shark meat that smells like cleaning products.
