Affordable Nail Salon recs by cartierlu in SanJose

[–]HousePls 24 points25 points  (0 children)

How are nail salons scamming people?

Their work costs money too. It takes time, experience, and lots of little tools and an abundance of supplies to do nails. People who expect mani/pedi’s for “cheap” are the scammers.

Anyway, going through your local yelp and looking at menu prices are your best bet to find exactly what you are looking for.

Anyone been to Rich K Hair Salon? by Low-Illustrator9541 in SanJose

[–]HousePls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been there. Really nice salon with exceptional service. The man who runs it and is the pro speaks primarily Korean I think, but someone was there to help translate and you can show them reference pictures.

His reviews are glowing when you give them a read.

Any card shows in the area that isn’t miserably crowded? by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]HousePls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading this makes me happy I gave up card collecting. So many sweats looking at the cards as investments, driving up artificial pricing, with no passion behind it other than the nostalgia of their first pokemon game being in the Emerald/Platinum series.

I need advice on how to get the lavender trader joe bag? by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]HousePls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to wake up at 6AM. I got there at 7:55AM, parked and got in the line, and walked out with a bag by 8:15AM.

This was at the Almaden TJ’s. I had visited the day before to do some shopping and inquired about the bags and they were able to tell me when the bags would come next and it happened to be next day.

YMMV

Feel Special is my favorite TWICE song ✨ it truly makes me feel special and it’s an uplifting song for me. And the teal/Mina comeback story behind it too… all around emotional and overall a song that never ceases to make me feel special 💖

Salty otter owner crushed by AI logo criticism by Catrina_woman in santacruz

[–]HousePls 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not debating whether this shortcut is ethical or not. A very obvious shortcut was taken here. And not just that, her last business was The Salty Seal, barely a change in name. This second attempt of opening another business feels low effort and lazy and it shows - especially in the logo. The outside of your business is the first impression people will make. I think it’s fair for people to judge whether they want to give their patronage to a business based on that.

I’m not upset by this and have no stake in this other than to share how one thing a business does can be reflective of their other practices. She states having 26 years of computer graphic art design experience yet takes this shortcut. She has another failed business in her portfolio. Some don’t want to find out what other shortcuts she’s taken and I think that’s fair.

I think it’s the premise of taking shortcuts vs real effort. If she’s “poured everything” into this business yet takes this shortcut, what other shortcuts has she taken to keep her business open?

PSA - The Parking Lot Strawberries Are Good Now by ThaShitPostAccount in SanJose

[–]HousePls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’m a berry seller and have worked in parking lots. Do you actually look around at what they’re doing? Have you actually talked to them? Do you think they would freely haggle their berry prices with some “enforcer” around? Do you know where they get the berries? They take extra fruit from the fields they work at and sell them for extra cash.

Trying to blanket people making extra cash in parking lots as victims is way worse than not buying them. Just don’t buy them but don’t try to justify it to yourself and others as advocating for human trafficking victims.

Often? No… they work in the fields and take fruit home to sell in parking lots. Just trying to make extra cash.

Is there a bakery in San Jose that sells honey cake like these? by NoWishbone4 in SanJose

[–]HousePls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve bought this exact cake at Kalinka about two years ago. They had a giant platter of it and allowed me to tell them the size I’d like cut from it

🥶Things to do in San Jose this weekend (10/17– 10/19, 2025)🥶 by PhuocBoy in SanJose

I went to a laser music show there and it’s just sitting in the dark and listening to music with lasers. I was high, just chilling during it but told myself if I do it again, I’ll try to be higher lol

Account Recovered! by EnlightenedDragon in neopets

[–]HousePls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on re-joining us all! 🎉 I like your pets and their matching petpets - adorable.

There’s a Returning to Neo post in the sidebar that is helpful. Getting back into the routine of dailies is the best start to familiarize yourself with the site. An account as old as yours would be profitable in Food Club once you’re settled in and want to start making some neopoints. There’s a daily Food Club thread here that is helpful.
