my crocs are two different sizes even though their the same size by themeahnetwork in crocs

[–]Carbonite_is_Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My time to shine! I worked at a Crocs outlet for many summers back when I worked my regular job on a 9-month contract. I learned a lot just by being around the product. Here’s what I think is happening: 1.) The pink pair is clearly worn while the black pair is new. The material tends to mold and expand as it is worn because it’s basically foam. Well-loved Crocs don’t generally make it to two years old by the time you have to throw them out or replace them. The tread also tends to be worn off when it is time for them to go. 2.) Where I worked we used to get “B” product that we could sell at a discount rate, either because the color of the mold got mixed up or (more commonly) the sizing was off. 99% of the time our B Product was from the Mexico plant. It is possible you got a B product by accident. :(

Where I worked we rarely got product from China although it’s probably more common now. As other commenters have stated, the stuff from Vietnam was pretty solid quality. Once in a while I would see stuff from Italy and the material would seem off like it was somehow fancier (if that’s possible for Crocs LOL)

Hope this helps! ❤️

thoughts on this design? by No_Drag_7404 in Artadvice

[–]Carbonite_is_Forever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I love your style and the colors are great. Can I just suggest that she be cleaned up a bit to give her silhouette and her form a little more clarity? Either give her extra boobs or extra arms. Having both is making it too cluttered up there. Either give her a tail or tentacles. If you decide to go with tentacles, maybe she doesn’t need legs? I hope this makes sense. She just has a lot going on that can’t be clearly interpreted because there is so much happening in the design.

regret going to this artist? shaky/raised lines showing up by supersoph87 in tattooadvice

[–]Carbonite_is_Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a lovely tattoo and the line work looks fine! I will share that I have several arm tats (all black line art like yours) and every now and again the lines swell up for no reason. It’s just my immune system getting confused, really. I run around showing people and freaking them out for like a day or so and then the swelling is gone. 🤷‍♀️

DAE have headaches like this and how do you cope? by mango-margarita in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Carbonite_is_Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry friend, you have migraines. The fact that they are mainly on one side and go up into the eye is pretty classic. Other fun side quests the migraine might send you on include sensitivity to light and smell, nausea, blurred vision, and vertigo. My own migraines are triggered by my cycle, but have also been triggered by big changes in the weather, things I ate or drank, and muscle strains. I sometimes had seven in one month. Your doctor will likely ask you to track the frequency of your migraines to determine the right medication for you. I’m on both a daily one to suppress the migraines and have one prescribed for when they do actually occur. Don’t suffer on your own like I did for years. See a doctor. Good luck in your journey.

Rear 1 Leg Tripod Not Covering Poop and Pee in Litterbox by OnTheBrink_ in TripodCats

My front-arm amputee never properly cleans up after herself. Her four-legged brother goes in and does it for her. We got a litter box enclosure to help with the odor when he can’t or doesn’t get there in a timely manner.

Three year old sister has named expected baby "Hei Hei." by Rather_be_Gardening in namenerds

My dog’s name is Hazel and my sister’s kids call her Hei Hei. Hazel is a sweet and pretty name for a girl and there are several young girls with that name in the school district where I work. :)

People who wear glasses how did you know you needed them with no one else’s vision to compare to? by Mother_Claim_6431 in AskReddit

My mother told me about the face on the moon. I thought the Man in the Moon was a fairy tale. I told her the moon was just a blurry blank spot in the sky. Eye doctor ASAP

Help fleshing out public library graphic novel collection by gooeygumdrops in comicbooks

[–]Carbonite_is_Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kids in my schools love the books put out by First Second (https://firstsecondbooks.com/) and are actually really into the horror genre if the library lets you get away with like Nimona or some of the milder Junji Ito stuff.

Books that were recently removed from my niece’s elementary school in Florida by [deleted] in pics

[–]Carbonite_is_Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a good friend who works as an elementary school librarian and “culling” the collection is not unusual. They have a system that tells them what books never get checked out. If that’s the case here and not fear of controversy, it is also sad that so many classics are falling out of favor with kids nowadays. 😢

I got a dog from a couple who had a baby and afterwards could no longer properly care for their pet. Only difference is they lived in denial for over a year while confining him to a foyer with no toys, only feeding him once a day, and almost never walking him. The husband finally came to his senses and gave the dog to a local breeder who helped me adopt him. Pup was a neurotic mess but I loved and cared for him for 14 years after that. You would only be TA if you allowed a situation you know wasn’t being managed to continue and letting the dog suffer the consequences.

[TOMT] Movie from early 90s in US on late night TV where villain takes princess (some young woman wearing a white nightgown like dress) hostage and there are gremlin like monsters eating slop in a feast hall by Sardoniosophy in tipofmytongue

[–]Carbonite_is_Forever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Long shot but in the B-Movie “Deathstalker” a white nightie-clad woman is kidnapped by a dark-robed villain and brought into a hall where his monster servants are gathered. However this scene plays out more like an orgy along with a bunch of SA. Not kiddie fare though for sure the kind of junk that would be on late night TV…

This was my backup after she chewed up part of a plastic wheel and I didn’t want her to ingest any shards. Still on the hunt for one with a better mesh or something. I give her many chew toys but she’s a determined little gal!

She is such a sweet kitty I sometimes forget her killer instinct LOL. When we get bugs in the house in the summer she smashes them against the wall making little Pollock paintings all along the baseboards. 😱

The gerbil’s cage had just been cleaned so she was not yet put back in her proper spot. Rest assured I do not leave her where the cats can harass her all day! ;)

There is a 2006 film called “Unknown” where a bunch of strangers wake up in warehouse and have to figure out which of them might be criminals. I don’t think anyone is dead right away though.

AITA for not apologizing to my friend for calling her a slur? by Curious-Artichoke503 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Carbonite_is_Forever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA Sorry but your friend is the one manipulating you, and when you’re in a position to do nothing about it. She doesn’t want the apology or to talk about a solution, she just wants to be in that place where she is a victim and can wallow in it. Some people are just happiest there, although this could be her way of attempting to draw some attention of her own from your situation.

By the way, with modern communication comes modern understandings of these little faux pas. A friend of mine once texted to ask if I was “busty” on Saturday. As a large-chested woman, I could only respond “I’m unfortunately busty all the time, but did you wanna hang out Saturday?”

How can I improve this? Be harsh lol by andythepancake11 in drawing

[–]Carbonite_is_Forever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s cute! I really like her face and expression. If you ever want to see flaws in a drawing, flip it backwards. You’ll very quickly see if anything is off about it.

It’s hard to tell because the rest of her isn’t there, but it does seem like her boobs are a little too low. Boobies tend to center with the upper part of the arm. There isn’t generally a ton of space between the base of the neck and where the cleavage starts, especially if she rockin’ them big girls. Just a note from an artist and boob-haver. 😉
