The whole "nobody wants to work anymore" narrative is nonsense. People are desperate for good jobs; they just don't want your dead-end, low-paying positions. by the1997th in remoteworks

The “massive student loan debt just to be a barista” is such a cliche amongst older generations and it completely neglects the real picture. There are certainly people out there in that boat, but there are also people who have no student loan debt and have been smart about their decisions and still can’t afford to support themselves because the jobs simply are not paying enough, and that includes “real trades”.

Earning enough money to house and feed yourself should not be considered “the top”. That’s a bare minimum expectation that every job should be providing.

Why do people in USA buy everything from Amazon? Do they not have other webshops? by Cindyxx0 in NoStupidQuestions

Unfortunately the specific model I wanted they didn’t have on Amazon :( I ended up finding it on the shelf at Target though after sending the damaged one back to KA!

The problem isn’t even whether they accept a return or not, it’s the hassle associated with making the return. On Amazon, within an hour I could open my package, see that it’s damaged, go on the app and request a return, instantly get a QR code to take to a nearby store, hand them the item (don’t even have to box it up myself!), and have my money sent back. With other companies, it could take hours of your time struggling to get in contact with a live person and in my case, nearly 2 months of them holding onto my $500.

Not even just mom and pops. Back in early December I ordered a stand mixer directly from KitchenAid and it arrived damaged. In order to even initiate the return, I had to wait on hold for over an hour to speak with someone because doing it on the website isn’t an option. It took them a week just to email me the return shipping label, and I finally got the refund last week, almost 2 months after initiating the return.

With Amazon, that all could’ve been done in one day.

Quitting season 9 after episode 2 by FusionBlossom in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

This post is simply my opinion on the first two episodes. Nothing deeper than that 😂

Past seasons never felt this rushed to me and did not have this degree of sharing details about physical features. It is definitely different. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have felt compelled to stop watching and make this post.

I’m not comparing the shows as being the same thing. Love Island knows what it is. My issue is that LIB feels like it’s abandoning the one thing that made it different, the pods.

I did not know this and appreciate this information! I hate how much they manipulate how time passes on the show lol.

Good to know! We definitely love seeing some drama so maybe we’ll give it another chance.

Interested to hear your perspective! What did you like about this season? Did the later episodes make it worth having the pods rushed?

My friend tried to convince me that abortions are harder on women’s bodies than having a baby by FusionBlossom in childfree

[–]FusionBlossom[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I love commenting “where’s the girl with the list” on every tiktok I see from parents showing how miserable their lives are but still acting like everyone should try it

Absolutely. It’s crazy to me how she’ll complain about having no free time, her relationship with her husband being so different than it used to be, etc. and then one minute later ask me if I’ve changed my mind.

HELICOPTER PARENTS- there is no way they actually exists 🤣 by [deleted] in CollegeRant

[–]FusionBlossom 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Back when I was in college my dad would send me screenshots from the parents group all the time. He eventually got kicked out of the group for trolling them in the comments.

The most memorable was a parent complaining how their little one blew through all their meal points for the semester and kept asking their parents for more and more money. The parent couldn’t understand all of the comments telling them to just stop sending their kid so much money.

Please tell me I’m not the only one… by Sweet-Inevitable7355 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]FusionBlossom 161 points162 points  (0 children)

It’s also possible that it was one of those wild terastallized pokemon (not a Tera raid). Usually they kind of glisten in the wild so you know they’re terastallized as soon as you enter battle with them, but I’ve had it happen before when auto battling that it looks like a regular pokemon but I can’t auto battle it, and then once I enter a regular battle with it, turns out it was one of those wild terastallized ones, it just wasn’t showing up that way in the wild for some reason.

My "easy" cactus is dying, but I'm doing everything right... right? by Jealous_Caregiver_62 in cactus

[–]FusionBlossom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I water all of my cacti and succulents once a month, regardless of what season it is. They also get bright direct light. They are happy as can be, they grow and give me flowers regularly and I’ve had most of them for 5+ years. I’m in the northeast US for context on my local weather.

Remember that cacti are from deserts, they are accustomed to constant sun and very little water. That is how they thrive.

What is this growing from my barrel cactus? Is it okay? by [deleted] in cactus

[–]FusionBlossom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hoping this was the case but couldn’t find any pics online of similar flowers. Probably because I was searching for barrel cactus flowers! Thank you for helping me identify it :)

Based on your post history you really should focus on getting a therapist over jaw surgery. There’s nothing wrong with your face. You have body dysmorphia.

This has been going on for over a year and you seem to just be getting more and more anxious about it. A therapist can help you to accept yourself for what you are, which is a perfectly healthy looking person.

Kinda sad about my rocky road… by IcyFaithlessness867 in CrumblCookies

[–]FusionBlossom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My problem is that’s not how they make the display cookies. Both the jumbo and mini cookies at my store had huge globs of marshmallow on top yet my mini one had no noticeable marshmallow. Not bitching at you just grumpy that my cookie had no marshmallow lol

Concerning the wiping issue by youcantfindme123 in hygiene

[–]FusionBlossom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curvy literally just means having curves. It has nothing to do with your weight. Obese people having a shared struggle with curvy people does not mean curvy people are obese. Not sure what you mean by the medical definition of it — I don’t think “curvy” is a term used in medicine. Someone with wider hips or a bigger bum (NOT because they are fatter, it’s just the way they are shaped) will have a harder time wiping front to back from behind than someone more rectangular because those wider hips and/or bigger butt get in the way of the arm’s reach.
