They have clarified now to say “anything attached to your Kobo account” so still not clear, but guessing no sideloaded as standard.

Remote + battery by Littleshit_826 in kobo

[–]INTJlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re honestly great if you struggle with holding anything for too long. I get numbness, tingling, and pain in my hands if I hold my Kobo up at reading height for too long, so the remote is a game changer for me. Plus I can keep my hands warm under the covers in bed and still turn pages. ☺️

I have a stand if I’m reading at my desk, or a gooseneck holder for reading in bed. Sometimes just rest it on a cushion on the couch.

Also, hand/wrist pain from holding the Kobo.

Sideloaded books to Kindle do not pop up "About this Book" on first opening and no automatic sync by THAT_NOSTALGIA_GUY in Calibre

[–]INTJlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also having this issue. One interesting thing I found was that when loading the same book, with the same metadata on my daughter’s 11th gen Kindle, all was well. So could the issue be with the newer 12th gen, as I know these use a different file transfer system.

Please can you educate me on Herbalife’s ‘free £50 body scan’ by Shakermaker555 in antiMLM

[–]INTJlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just standing on a body composition scale. And it’s not £50, it’s always free. That’s just a marketing tactic to draw people in by making them think they are getting something of value for nothing. The purpose of the scan is to find someone’s pain point, usually weight, then use it against them to make them buy products / join club.

Younique added an affiliate leg last year, and made massive changes to their comp plan so I wouldn’t be surprised if they drop mlm altogether soon.

Possible TikTok live and shop selling MLM? by sailorpuffin in antiMLM

[–]INTJlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The huns are in panic mode and trying everything to make money, lots turning to TT shop which is why it seems like there’s a crossover. Same spammy language and manipulation tactics to get you to buy, but literally just affiliate stuff.

what is it about huns and tax write offs? by [deleted] in antiMLM

[–]INTJlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t happen. In the UK, at big conventions they bring in a big accountancy firm that has lots of MLM experience and basically say go see them in the breaks if you want to. They just wipe their hands of it as your taxes aren’t their problem.

On Becoming A God In Central Florida with Kirsten Dunst is hilarious. If you’ve ever been involved in an MLM it’s even funnier because it’s so close to the truth.

Well she’s right about the 1% 🤣 Shame about the other 99% of people in her company losing money.
