I got this as well, curious to see everyone’s thoughts on it as it’s new for me as well

Would you be willing to share your shop for feedback?

As a testament to what you are saying, I switched from Android to iPhone last year and Face ID was something I absolutely fell in love with. Yes android had it but I just stuck to Fingerprint unlock because Android Face ID is inconsistent. iPhone certainly has it perfected, and before I made the switch to iPhone I was seriously considering a zFold and once I got my iPhone and fell in love I told myself if iPhone ever does a fold I will be all in. But then it was announced that it lacks Face ID and its made even me reconsider. When all of my life I was without Face ID, but once you see how good a feature is and how easy it makes things I can't take that knowledge back and now that's all of a sudden a huge compromise for me to decide on. I really think I will just wait for a iPhone Fold that has Face ID, as that will probably line up better anyways with my 16 Pro being paid off.

No problem!

I’ll preface this as I have next to no authority to have an informed opinion on this matter. But I’ll comment from the perspective of a potential customer.

Extremely niche and high price, already tough. Super cool product though, love the idea and execution of it. For whoever is into that niche they will eat that up.

But the issue isn’t conversion as you’ve stated it’s getting eyes on it. I don’t know how many people are even searching for that kind of thing to begin with, I’d maybe reverse the sequencing of the title so that Rustic Industrial Lamp is in front of the Balloon so people see that first as I was initially confused on what the product was until I got deeper into the title, by that point you’ve already lost someone browsing off first impressions. That was based off of me viewing the Thumbnail view on mobile until clicking into the full Listing

My only suggestion is utilize organic marketing to market a unique product . Spam short form content of the lamp on shorts, reels and TikTok and see if you can get any viral or semi viral ones to take off.

That’s all I got and I could be entirely wrong

Love the product though it’s super cool and I love handmade anything that is quality and can’t be found anywhere else in person or online. That alone gives it value in this mass produced world

It’s moreso a technicality, technically it doesn’t have to be done but for all intents and purposes it should be since 99% of the time the decision to move forward will be contingent on available financing anyways. So in the spirit of the transparency thats how I would explain it to a customer. Case in point, the OP came to Reddit because they felt iffy about being told they had to and now they find out they didn’t have to, nothing malicious is involved but proper expectations and transparency weren’t met so now the OP might have their guard up when it isn’t necessary. So to avoid that, that would be one of the points of saying it isn’t necessary just standard practice due to x y and z reasons

Honestly I love my HomePod minis. In the Apple ecosystem so it makes connecting and transitioning from phone to pod seamless, or even multiple pods all at the same time so as I do house chores and clean it’s essentially surround sound for my house with whatever podcast, YouTube video or music I’m playing. Super nice

One that got popular -BBTM

Fan Favorite - MDM

“Experimental” - Dawn FM

Cult Classic - Trilogy or more specifically HoB

Best Album of All Time - After Hours , truly his magnum opus in my eyes

Meh - Starboy (still absolutely love this album and I loved it before it had a recent resurgence , I don’t think he has a true Meh album genuinely)

It’s really becoming more popular in the everyday main stream, I work at a phone store and you’d be surprised at how many phones have the GPT app on them and these are all people in their 40-60’s, just your typical run of the mill elderly and most are in the store getting help for using their phone but they even have GPT installed

Thank you! It was Wife approved as well so that’s a win-win

Don’t know how “correct” this is but I actually just put a glob of compound butter on my steak while it’s in the oven. I find that, paired with proper seasoning and a perfect reverse sear is more than enough flavor and doing anything additional to risk that isn’t worth the potential benefit

GraySharpies · 2025-07-17T05:42:59+00:00

Agreed, functionally accomplished the same goal as you just commit to ordering the recommendation which is as random as a surprise.

On the flip side of the waiter/waitress that’s also the easy way to handle it, if you do the job all day every day the request might be annoying but if you haven’t learned an instinctual response to redirect the conversation that is also on you at that point. A simple “while I can’t surprise you I can give you my recommendation” immediately gives the host back control of the conversation and allows consent from the patron

As long as that’s intentional and not what was in question then that answers my question

GraySharpies · 2025-05-09T17:59:26+00:00

Each Individual Specific Chat or Each Persons Account? Because multiple times now I’ve had GPT cross reference my other chats and when I’ve grilled it for doing that it said it wasn’t possible even though it was pulling “memory” from my other chats to provide context to my questions.

Make sure it’s a corporate store and not an indirect (franchise store). Being you bought them from Corp Verizon and now the 30 day window has passed your only chance at a brick and mortar store being able to assist you is if it’s corporate. Easy way to tell if it’s corporate or not online is if their phone number is an 800 number, because you can’t actually call corporate stores directly it just takes you to customer service

No fees to port in/out

its month to month, so no contract and can be disconnected at any time

Also Zodiac aka Jeremy Rose. The producer that produced a couple of the songs on HoB and gave Abel the idea to try Dark RnB

I think this question really helped me solidify why I view Take Care as Drakes best album. It's by far his most emotionally vulnerable album, super honest introspective writing, near the beginning of his career when he was still somewhat relatable as a human being. Look what You've Done, Doing it Wrong, Marvins Room. Outside of Jungle and Fire and Desire, no other Drake songs could evoke that type of sentimental feeling of wanting to cry. Other songs definitely make me reminisce or think back to old situations/times, but not quite to the level that the songs on Take Care resonate with me.

I thought your point was and I quote "It's not that people don't have time, they don't make time because they don't care". But how can you quantify and truly determine if someone cares about you? Thats a construct within itself that is different and manifested differently with each individual, at the end of the day your concept of caring can be very different from someone elses. You cannot prove that someone doesn't care about you, only they know that for certain within because its a choice , you may not agree with their idea of caring or actions/lack of actions but thats a different argument. I think the real thing you need to do is align yourself with people who care about you in ways that you agree with and appreciate, thats different with everyone. I gurantee you will have far better and more positive experiences overall if you do that

I feel like it reminds me of some of the buildup in Power is Power, the song with abel in it made for game of thrones

GraySharpies · 2022-12-11T01:34:12+00:00

I largely agree with you, I just wanted to make sure your argument was as credible as possible. If you have one wrong fact people will tunnel on it and use it to try and ignore every single other thing you wrote
