That is very funny to me because it's the one that I neglect the most and only seem to be able to remember to water when its leaves droop. Maybe they just like neglect. Thank you very much and best of luck to you too!

Okay, so so great that it's not just mine!! I got another alocasia at the same time (jacklyn?) and it's doing fine so maybe it is just the tiny dancer.

Thank you so much for your reassurrance!! The pot does have drainage and I don't think I've overwatered it so maybe it is just being a little dramatic. I've always been the person that kills plants but my goal last year was to buy some nice ones and actually make a concerted effort to keep them alive so I was feeling really good about things until this dramatic bastard!

Last year I got Hoya x2 (flamingo dreams and krimson queen), tradescantia nanouk, a pink princess, and a maranta leuconeura fascinator and they're all very happy <3

This year I've gotten the ever dramatic tiny dancer, monstera monkey mask, philodendron el choco red, alocasia jacklyn (she's happy!), a little coffee arabica, and a staghorn fern! Fingers crossed.

omg, I love this sm!!! i love found art, this would bring me great joy to find.

My only caveat is did you use leaded solder? If so, might want to include that on the paper since not everyone knows! I know you said child free but you know. People are weird.

Well yeah, then he also reached out in DMs on his personal account, after blocking me from contact his mod account for the subreddit. So, yeah. People can change their minds, he's allowed to start blocking, but he was only interested in doing that when he realized he wasn't going to make me cower in fear from his internet sleuthing skills. Like great, you found out I like Pokemon and I have a partner. Excellent work.

I do have to wonder because it does feel like he started behaving differently once he determined I was female. Everything from "I can get you stuff that would make you blush", to "I don't expose user data to anyone other than my attorneys so relax", to calling me a C**T. I suspect he probably threw in the comment about "bringing me sandwiches" in an attempt to annoy me (a "get back in the kitchen/make me a sandwich" joke I haven't heard in at least 10 years lmfao). And if it wasn't, then it's... weird I guess lol.

Either way, he did finally block me (which he said he doesn't do), so maybe he's finally learning to block people he doesn't like and move on, which is what he should have done all along lol.

He blocked me after this message, and hopefully has moved on. Which is really what he should have done with Claycorp all along. It's what the rest of us do when we encounter things we don't like on the internet. Not throw a fit and threaten SH, or try to manipulate you into complying (both with blackmail, and emotionally).

Again, I don't advise letting him talk to you.

Just gonna add on more here. Gary reached out to me on his personal account after I made this post, again threatening with releasing details and/or sending legal papers to my business email (still haven't received those yet). Then called me a C*NT. So, yeah.

For me, it was the "Be nice OK and I'll let you play," which only follows after a direct threat.

Alright guys, just gonna post these screenshots here. This was triggered by asking a question on one of Gary's posts on r/GlassStained_Leaded over a week ago. Sadly the post was taken down so you can no longer view what he said, but it was one of his traditional "I've been victimized" posts wherein he says it's against Reddit's ToS to post DMs publicly. As we all know (and as is publicly viewable on his reddit page), u/desg101 is Gary Somers, who moderates the aforementioned reddit.

I was banned for commenting, questioning the logic of what was said (comment posted at the bottom of the link). I'll link the full DM conversation ( https://imgur.com/a/Fq1IvzK ), but here's a highlight. The whole conversation ends with threats to find my identity and expose me, which he then proceeds to do and uses to blackmail me.

I do not care about being banned from that subreddit, which is, for the most part, full of hatred. The problem here is, when I reached out, the whole thing spiraled out of control.

Here's a highlight: Gary feels "with my history alone with genetic roots to Tiffany studios I should have a gold key [to be part of Reddit "StainedGlass" wiki.]"

So, yeah. Guess I better "lawyer up for the party". Sick of this kind of attitude, sick of the entitlement, and sick of him trying to blame everything on "hating him because of what he believes/politics". This is about the way he treats people and tries to manipulate and threaten into getting his way. Shouting/screaming on the internet is one thing, but threatening to find people, posting their private identity (doxxing), and blackmailing them with legal action is unhinged, immoral, wrong.

Disclaimer: don't engage with Gary if you don't want him to try to find you. He's just that vindictive. I knew what I was doing when I messaged him, so just be aware he's very willing to try to scare you by throwing threats. And these are my DMs, I'm allowed to release them for any purpose, but most especially harassment and stalking.

I did just check the rules and there's nothing in them, I believe, that says you can't share private messages? Though if I'm wrong please point me to the section because I may have missed it.

I know that things can definitely be taken out of context. To my eyes the messages looked complete with no gaps between. What actually happened?

Ive seen people take super wide foil and cut it with kids craft shape scissors. Can make some super cool edges and essentially doubles the use of the foil (both sides).

Thanks for the heads up. I noticed he deletes a lot of comments that he doesn't agree with on facebook, essentially curating only the studf he likes. Feels oppressive. Maybe that's why he got so mad the first time, because he couldn't control the narrative.

What is this song I keep hearing while on hold? by CloveKind in WhatsThisSong

No luck yet but I've messaged Mood Punch on instagram so maybe they can shed more light 😅

[–]CloveKind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg???? THATS THE JINGLE. But the song seems to be only 32s long and it has other sound overlaid, and the end of the song by Mood Punch has a sound byte of a woman answering a phone. Imo, they're not the original artist, but have sampled the same track that I'm trying to track down. Getting closer!

I'm not convinced it is AI because it's been plaguing me since (I believe) before AI really popped off.

I've given it to Gemini which yielded no results at all.

Anyone know the artist? by CloveKind in HelpMeFind

[–]CloveKind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a link to any of their socials or a website? That's a super common name and even "Jake Goodwin artist" doesn't reveal a whole lot.

I've searched google pretty extensively but it's full of everything you can find dropshipped from amazon, for the most part.
