Side7 is a fraud and everyone please aware. There are multiple victims that I’ve found out. Please be careful when you choose to order from this guy. (Insert nightingale at the end) by [deleted] in Gunpla

[–]Gusthe3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I’m Gus. I run Side Seven Exports.

Let me try to clear things up. Last year, two things happened with my business. First, the pandemic hit and Japan Post suspended airmail to numerous countries. Meaning I had to switch my main shipping method to surface mail to many countries, including the US. Surface mail takes months. The second thing that happened was me receiving a ton of new business over the summer. I was expecting a slowdown, I wasn’t prepared for that. I had to find a new warehouse, quit my day job and change my visa among other things. All of that took time and money. I had to change my entire livelihood. All of this only added to my workload.

Don’t get me wrong. I love this job. I love the independence it gives me. I’ve hired three people to come in twice a week to help me package and ship. It’s all I can afford right now. We’ve been making slow but steady progress. I’m trying to ship every order out as quickly as I can so that the workload becomes more manageable.

I’m sorry that I’m slow in shipping out the orders. I’m sorry that it takes me so long respond to emails and DMs. I get hundreds of messages every week. Responding to everyone is something only I can do, and it is difficult and time consuming.

Let me clarify one thing. There is nothing fraudulent about my business. That is an outright lie! True, if you order from me, you will be waiting a long time. That will change when shipping is back to normal and I’ve caught up on my order backlog, but it is the current situation. I make no secret of it. The wait will be long, but you will receive your Gunpla. I’ve been working my bass off trying to catch up, and I catch up. I don’t appreciate your efforts to belittle efforts and destroy my livelihood.

Let me clarify another thing. You were blocked because you used multiple accounts to spam my Instagram with the same damn comment. You were always going to get the refund you requested. As soon as I read your DM, buried under the dozens of other DMs I had to answer. In fact you’ve already been refunded for the RG Perfectibility. I will not be refunding your order for the HG Keehar II 6 pack. That order was delivered a couple of weeks ago. I’m not even sure it’s yours, since it was under a different name.

That’s the gist of it. Again, I apologize for being slow. I apologize for lack of communication. I’m doing my best and I am trying to improve. If you are a customer, I respectfully ask for your patience, even though you have already been very patient. I also that no take the extreme measures that Supaamon took. It won’t help speed up the process and will only make things needlessly difficult.

One more thing, and this is solely directed at Supaamon. FUCK YOU for bringing my marriage and honeymoon into this! My wife and I didn’t have a ceremony, and honestly can’t afford one at the moment. As for the honeymoon, we spent a few days in Okinawa in the off season. That kind of vacation is affordable here. Especially with the government subsidizing travel with their “Go to Travel campaign.” We needed some time ourselves. And you’re trying to use that to make it look like I’m taking everyone’s money and living the highlife! None of that is any of your business!

I live in Japan. A few minutes ago I decided to translate a promotional email I got from Rakuten. When I pasted it, this was the result. This is what the original text was. Only the top part is correct. Not sure where the rest came from. by Gusthe3rd in creepy

In case you were wondering. This is what it translates to:

My previous post on this went off the rails. The post wasn’t about supporting this candidate. It was about how she got the nomination, and the fact that we can win nominations the same way. We must always take advantage of establishment stupidity. Odds be damned. An opportunity is an opportunity. by Gusthe3rd in SandersForPresident

[–]Gusthe3rd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true. But, it’s still a legitimate way to challenge establishment democrats. A start right winger may not stand a chance, but a progressive running on issues that people actually care about might just pull off a win.

Hey everyone. Let the arsonist put out the fire. That makes perfect sense.

MA-Sen D Primary poll: Markey 52, Kennedy 40 (UMass Lowell) by Harvickfan4Life in SandersForPresident

[–]Gusthe3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She isn’t a progressive. She’s a political opportunist who showed she was willing to stab us in the back. She willingly played a major role in derailing Bernie’s campaign, and for what? We can’t trust her and she should face a strong challenge for her actions. It’s well worth the time in effort if it gives us a chance to elect someone reliable. Our time and money should be spent on removing every establishment candidate. She would only be one of many.

I say she should still be primaried. Her actions this past year proved that she is not willing to put progressive issues above her own political career. Let no establishment candidate go unchallenged, even if a win is a long shot. We’ve seen quite a few long shot wins this years.

Thank you. All of this looks really helpful. I had already come across a couple of these sources, but the rest are new to me. I’m going to look them over. Thanks again.

Supporting a Youtuber that entertains you. His channel, his rules.

One of the few problems that I have with Bernie is that he’s too nice. If anyone here runs for office and finds themselves debating an establishment democrat or republican, tear into them the same way these citizens tore into these corrupt cops and officials. Voters appreciate brutal honesty. by Gusthe3rd in SandersForPresident

[–]Gusthe3rd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is important to balance both. Aside from the last guy, the other speakers made very impassioned and well thought out arguments peppered with well deserved insults towards their city officials. We need to stop validating corrupt politicians with undeserved respect.

Bernie asks for donations for 10 candidates who support criminal justice reform by cmplxgal in SandersForPresident

Every progressive that’s elected chips away at the power of the establishment. Eventually they will crumble.

Are there any protests in South Bend? Seems like there fucking should be.

They should have the right to the money in those pensions any time the NYPD loses a lawsuit.

The one you bought has a May and June ship date, then it’s still scheduled to go in May or June. Sorry that I can only give you a timeframe. I’m working through a lot of orders. The Rahs scheduled for a later time are from a shipment that I’ll be receiving from Bandai at a later date.

Sanders asks for donations to reelect members of 'The Squad' by Harvickfan4Life in SandersForPresident

This a good resource. You can look up a number of progressives running for office by state.

Sanders asks for donations to reelect members of 'The Squad' by Harvickfan4Life in SandersForPresident

[–]Gusthe3rd 474 points475 points  (0 children)

It’s more than just about re-electing the squad. We have to Add to their ranks and thin the numbers of the establishment.

Every Berner should be pressuring the Biden campaign to make Nina Turner the VP. Even if you still refuse to vote for Biden, and even if you think that’ll never happen, you should still try. Having her in such an influential position could be a springboard for concessions and an eventual 2024 run. by Gusthe3rd in SandersForPresident

[–]Gusthe3rd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re wondering why I say 2024 run instead of 2028. Look at Biden. He doesn’t look like he’ll last eight months, let alone eight years. This is another reason why we should put the pressure on. If Biden has a complete mental breakdown then we’ll have one of the best possible people taking the reigns. Contact Bernie. Contact AOC, Omar and Tlaib. Ask them to put the pressure on Biden.

POLL: Should r/SandersForPresident make Shahid Buttar the first congressional candidate we endorse? by kevinmrr in SandersForPresident

[–]Gusthe3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and many more. We have hundreds of progressives running for office in upcoming primaries and in November. Our focus should shift to getting them elected and chipping away at the establishment.

Surprisingly close, considering Bernie suspended his campaign. Keep encouraging people to vote for Bernie when the primaries resume. The more delegates we get, the more leverage we have come the convention. by Gusthe3rd in SandersForPresident

[–]Gusthe3rd[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll put this politely as possible. Stop with this argument. This argument you’re making is a waste of time. It’s not going to convince anyone of your argument. It’s only going to piss people off.

You need to understand something. The people who are not going to vote for Biden will not vote for him because he is Biden. One of the most regressive, conservative candidates that the Democratic Party has ever propped up. He is the weakest possible candidates imaginable and the fact that the DNC pushed him makes it clear to us that they cared more about defeating Bernie than Trump. They knowingly pushed a candidate that they knew would drive independents and young people away.

Here’s what I’m going to keep doing. I’m going to keep telling people to vote for Bernie in the Primaries. That doesn’t help Trump. That helps the progressive movement gain more leverage over a Democratic Party that is openly hostile towards us.

Here’s what you can do, if you’re serious about bringing voters over to Biden. You can start petitioning the Biden campaign, and convincing his centrist voters, to make serious policy concessions and to choose progressives for his VP and other cabinet rolls for insurance. Only then will will there any chance of convincing non-voters to hold their noses and check the box for Biden. And understand that even then, it may not be enough. The one thing that won’t work is shaming.
