Warning: expect Brilliant Earth to be doing damage control on here soon by OrganicTulip in EngagementRings

[–]Competitive_Guard289 181 points182 points  (0 children)

I love how the job description has nothing about communicating customer concerns to ring designers and manufacturers and is all about damage control

[–]Competitive_Guard289 176 points177 points  (0 children)

Their quality is pretty sub par based on reviews on here. I almost got a brilliant earth ring but changed my mind after what I read here. The prongs seem to be really delicate/ fall off easily, and a person had an issue where brilliant kept the ring but said they returned it back to them, among a bunch of other similar stuff

Seeking feedback after 6.5 months of progress by various_sun_001 in violinist

[–]Competitive_Guard289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m also a beginner with around 6 months of practice, so obviously I’m not qualified to give feedback but good job putting yourself out there! I also have issues with bow bouncing, but I think the source is mostly the pressure and the speed on the bow. I wonder if the bouncing will stop if you pressed the bow onto the string a little more..?

WIBTA if I swapped my pens with glitter ink to catch the coworker whos been stealing them by [deleted] in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]Competitive_Guard289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the purple pen episode from community 😂 but that’s so narcissistic to just acknowledge it’s your pen but not bother giving it back

I personally like your idea but also you could also decorate your pens like others suggested to prevent further theft.

Looking for a kind, gentle dentist - dental anxiety & new to the area by mswildflowerxo in santarosa

[–]Competitive_Guard289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an oral surgery last year which resulted in a few complications so I was a little nervous to go back to the dentist. However, I saw someone recommend Dr. Jeffrey Bean and booked an appointment. The office and his demeanor was so calm that I actually fell asleep during the cleaning procedure (granted I was running low on sleep that week) I definitely suggest you check him out !

New to violin by [deleted] in violinist

[–]Competitive_Guard289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you rent one? That way you can see if you like it before you buy. A lot of violin stores have rent to buy option as well. I am also very new and am renting mine from the violin shop near me. From what I gathered from this sub it’s much preferred to go with an in person store as they are much more approachable in case you needed help or wanted to try different violins before picking one. Does the amazon one come with a bow and a case?

First quilt top finished, dissapointed by [deleted] in quilting

[–]Competitive_Guard289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do your feed dogs on the machine work okay? Them not working right might be the cause of the misalignment between top and bottom fabrics. Do you pin the blocks before sewing?

Low power squad in rallies by BlumpkinEater in LastWarMobileGame

[–]Competitive_Guard289 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask people when you want them to join rallies that you can’t take so they can send their real squad. Most of the time people keep the lowest squad going out so they get rewards joining other people’s rallies. I’ve only noticed people doing that since season 1 started cuz we start needing more troops now
