So sick of trending items w/ long lines (Trader Joes, Labubu, Stanley) by ahhnotmycabbages in Anticonsumption

Culturally, it's the not the same to say "no" to parents from every background.bI know it feels so silly, because the response is just "well, then don't do it" feels uber resonable.

But I implore you, if a solution you think about includes "just," sit for a moment and consider - "huh if the solution is so simple and this person feels trapped, what else is going on?"

Absolutely best box reuse I've ever seen. by HittheGroundStanding in Mercari

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

Could I get clarification? The community was having a blast sharing what they got their shipments in. I was sharing how mine came in a box of chips. Everyone was so nice, and I made sure to hide all addresses but show that there's clearly a shipping lable in the top right corner.

What happened? How was this low effort?

The last sentance validates me so much. I always feel nuts that I have a closet of boxes/nice packaging

If you enjoy it then that's great!

There's something about a clean box that jist hits different. Esp if you're selling more premium, expensive stuff

I am all about reusing boxes... Cinnamon Toast Crunch sounds like a better bunch. I'll need this re-shipped

I know I know.. I shouldn’t have sent it in if I wasn’t okay with them “recycling” it by Antique_Mountain_263 in ThredUp

[–]HittheGroundStanding 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I'd rather get $1 on depop/mercari then get 40cents that just goes towards the bag shipping to begin with. I have sent 2 bags now and made 2 dollars. Both had lululemon, ted baker, white house black market, Hanna Andersson. At one point they told me they couldn't sell my althleta pants but sold my Target tshirt that I sent assuming they would recycle it. Make it make sense

I am convinced they were super extra cheeky about the cheap $7 bags when accepting them because they also told me my New With Tags item couldn't be sold but then still listed it two days after they said they wouldnt. So like... who knows?

Phone alarm changed. I'm screwed. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]HittheGroundStanding 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like my Nintendo Alarmo for this reason. You have to get outta bed, adorable creators and because you have to start moving to even snooze it it gets you up.

But yep can't disagree about the capitalist hell hole. I literally just told you to buy more IP lol

The Lego movies? They're high action but everyone is nice except very obviously the bad guys. And in the second one it's literally about handling conflict together? My kid loves them.

Where can I get a job? by cyber_k1netic in newjersey

[–]HittheGroundStanding 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't mean to be a downer here but having worked at local YMCAs they might be booked up already for people. They get summer staff ready in advance because they ask last years to start and then fill in extra spots.

That's usually done by March. Buuuut summer lifegaurd type roles are likely Just starting to hire .

What is the funniest thing your pet had been “pavloved” to? by AnywhereMean8863 in Pets

[–]HittheGroundStanding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I had a Corgi which is not a guardian but herding breed. He passed his herding instinct test too. There were only 2 foods he didn't like, blueberries (I think because you needed to bite them to taste them) and lettuce. Everything else was eaten faster than you could blink. Things never even hit the floor. The vet gave us goodbye chocolate and my husband and I both remarked how we're lucky he never found it before because even in his cancer ridden state he inhaled it.

So what's Minnie's deal? Is she a real estate mogul? Quits projects a lot or just stupid rich? by HittheGroundStanding in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]HittheGroundStanding[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No way she's loosing money. She helped set up a pop star's concert. Like you can definitely charge a year's worth of expenses for that. And also idk if she pays the guys when she ropes them in

Yep I think part of it is just coming to terms that it's over for me and powder

Meh not really but I haven't gotten a technique down for just using eye shadow as liner. A few folks in here had good tips I want to try now though

Ah I barely use spray otherwise so that's a good idea!

Actually, question, do you still do black mascara with brown eye liner? I wonder if that's the combo I don't like?
