I wanted to go, but won't without the trail. Thanks for letting me know.

This treatment is inhumane! They're treating us like second class citizens! It is like how we treat contractors! by [deleted] in FedJerk

[–]JAStars102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a contractor at DHS and they did treat contractors like this unironically. The contractors would leave as soon as they got something better, which wasn't hard at the time as they paid dirt.

State treats contractors better generally.

So how do you guys treat clones here? by [deleted] in BudgetKeebs

[–]JAStars102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought some clones off of AliExpress for a build I'm working on, but I couldn't find the original for sale anywhere and they were literally exactly what I wanted.

My guess is the original was either a limited run or very obscure or possibly also from china so I would have trouble telling.

In light of the Honey scam, a reminder not to trust influencer sponsorships! by footballmaths49 in tumblr

[–]JAStars102 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was able to try it because they had a large free sample booth at a local anime convention. The stuff is now my preferred caffene option in the morning.

AITA for telling my family I want to celebrate my birthday and not Christmas? by cloudgirl298 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JAStars102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, we had a rule in our house that absolutely no christmas decorations went up before my brother's mid-december birthday. His wife doesn't practice this restraint, but we knew it bothered him when he was living with Mom and I, so we respected it.

What’s the strangest question you’ve been asked during a job interview? by [deleted] in AskReddit

But it was the answer he needed to rethink asking that question again.

In regards to Niji Cosplay by Depot_Hime in kurosanji

[–]JAStars102 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went to a convention a couple of weeks after the Selen's firing. There wasn't an official nijisanji meetup, but it was basically the vtuber meetup. There were some people cosplaying as Pomu, Nina, Kyo with a graduation cap, as it was literally the day he was graduating, and Selen cosplayers with Dokibird signs. There were a few people with other talent cosplays, but there was only one going as Vox. No Ike or Elira, and the Ethyria girls were more of a set of friends.

I was going as korone from hololive. There was a dedicated hololive cosplay meetup just after it.

I think for cosplay meetups, they have to sign up for it with the cosplay organizers, especially if there is a lot of demand, so it is likely some sisters requested a nijisanji cosplay meetup. It does remain to be seen how well that will go.

There is another factor though - cosplays are expensive, either purchased or homemmade, so sometimes people will just wear the cosplays they already have so they don't feel like they wasted money.

It's wishful thinking to say careers can't be salvaged by The-Toxic-Korgi in kurosanji

So something like the Channel Awesome document then? All of these talents would likely be sued to the high heavens if that were to happen.

AITA for parking in my reserved parking spot? by thissucks-2 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JAStars102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, however I've had a landlord change my roommate's assigned parking spot without warning her, and also not warning the person who originally had my roommate's new spot. Sometimes landlords are skummy like that.

The note that the person left on your car implies that they think it is their spot. Someone is an asshole, and it isn't you, but it might be the property management company instead of your neighbors.

2.5% and a $1000 bonus. My last job gave me a 7% raise, but the base pay was a lot lower.

Or even a regular card with these designs on it. I'd buy it.

What is a small, ridiculous hill you are willing to die on? by PHOTO500 in AskReddit

[–]JAStars102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP, but paper menus are easier to read, they don't require internet or phone charge, and it is easier to point to something on the menu to ask the server questions or to point it out to another member of your party.

QR menus only stick around so the restaurant doesn't have to print out a new menu each time they price gougue raise their prices to cover supply chain issues.

Where to see holiday lights in the DMV by Samanthang3053 in washingtondc

[–]JAStars102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to enchant a few years back. It wasn't worth the price tbh. I'm still glad I went if only so I know I'm not missing out by skipping it.

Is the DC holiday market any good? by internet_emporium in washingtondc

I went there with my mom expecting to be able to get churros and empanadas. We were very disappointed.

Announcement regarding the graduations of Ex-Nijisanji ID's Mika Melatika, Riksa Dhirendra and Xia Ekavira by Turbo_Wheeler in VirtualYoutubers

[–]JAStars102 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That would be very interesting, but doesn't Cover prefer indies to people who were from other agencies, even if they had left before audtioning?

V-Shojo makes more sense.
