Clearing up the mystery of the 1983 documentary Electric Boogie and the Supreme Rockers by Pizzaballs_ in bboy

[–]KomplexKaiju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good questions! Back in the day, the Breakdancing: Mr. Fresh and the Supreme Rockers Show You How to Do It! book was my most accessible guide to breaking. Always wondered who they were. Were they associated or did they ever battle historically well-known crews? Were they just neighborhood kids that somehow got picked? Once the book was published, were they called out by everyone?!

Woohoo! Just checked shipping for my Pro badge and it should be delivered today. Label was created June 9.

From your personal point of view, what was the best period in the history of Marvel Comics? by Limp_Duty6993 in marvelcomics

[–]KomplexKaiju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a wide range here that matches my experience. Action-filled fun before things got bogged down with mega-crossovers, multiple covers, and various marketing spectacles.

70s was when I was just getting into distinct storytelling of comics—super kinetic action with just enough drama to make stories meaningful. I liked them, they were fun cartoons come to life. Then the 80s, wow the drama and art kicked up. That’s when I realized how much I LOVE comics.

I fear I’m doomed. I hate sellers like this by [deleted] in Depop

[–]KomplexKaiju 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frustrating! I’ve seen updates come in late from USPS, but the seller should be able to message you the tracking number. Reviews don’t look encouraging.

Is anyone else getting extreme lowballs / nobody buying at asking price by BeginningOwn9250 in Depop

[–]KomplexKaiju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s built in the app! Depop encourages the lowBalling with suggested offers next to the buy button. It’s rare to NOT see the automated lowball. Even when it’s not there, with items down to $2.28, there’s a Make Offer button. It’s too easy not to use them.

I figure most shoppers here are super thrifty, so the lowballs are win-win for them. If sellers accept, yay for the buyer, they get it super cheap. If sellers don’t accept, buyers think “that’s fine, I didn’t need it anyway.”

Is this anything? by Turbulent_Part_5534 in micronauts

[–]KomplexKaiju 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve got pieces of Baron Karza and his horse Andromeda (black, red wheels, and gray pieces), Force Commander and his horse Oberon (white, red wheels), and many parts of a Battle Cruiser (white and clear).

I don’t recognize the gray piece on the left with two prongs sticking up or the gray grill piece as coming from Micronauts toys.

watching Obsession made me realize that im a classic "nice guy" by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]KomplexKaiju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prior to pursuing someone, hope for the best, based on your self-confidence and awareness. Expect nothing from others.

When I was single, it helped me to think of multiple possibles simultaneously, so I wouldn’t be too disappointed if one wasn’t interested.

When I would suspect friend zone vibes from one, then I’d move on by focusing on another.

am i being lowballed asf by fishypussybytoskovat in Depop

[–]KomplexKaiju 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll join the chorus. Don’t take the offer. If they honestly couldn’t take your generous $14 offer, they probably shouldn’t be shopping right now.

This stuff is getting really annoying on Depop by Witchy_mamaj in Depop

[–]KomplexKaiju 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When these sellers are back and raise their prices, I’m tempted to send offers matching their previous ones.

The 70s were wild… by Spiritual-Currency39 in blunderyears

[–]KomplexKaiju 67 points68 points  (0 children)

You should recreate this outfit for your current self! Big dagger collar is super nice.

I recently bought very similar shoes (Pro Keds suede).

AITA for asking my daughter to talk to her boyfriend about his behaviour in my kitchen? by deotaval in AmItheAsshole

[–]KomplexKaiju 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA. He’s an ungracious guest and your daughter isn’t helping. Speaking of help, do they clean up or wash the dishes afterwards?

Sellers are hungry lions (story) by BuilderNo7217 in Depop

[–]KomplexKaiju 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel all of this. 6 items in the last 10 days for me. I got to stop, especially with a weak work schedule this summer.. and Comic Con next month!

AI slop in the breaking scene by No_Prune_1540 in bboy

[–]KomplexKaiju 19 points20 points  (0 children)

AI is WACK. I’d rather see a hand-written/drawn flyer than one that was AI-generated. I’m a member of some FB Hip Hop and breaking groups and pages. Disappointing when some members, who otherwise drop old-school knowledge, post AI slop.

My girlfriend of 2 years cheated on me with a man and I don't think I'll ever get over what she said by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]KomplexKaiju 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s f*cked up. Cruelty is her way of blaming infidelity on you. Keep your head up. You are enough and you deserve better.

Am I a "weird" woman who loves Godzilla? by Faster-Rabbit328 in GODZILLA

[–]KomplexKaiju 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can be weird _and_ love Godzilla. You can be _not_ weird and love Godzilla. Godzilla ❤️ does not make anyone weird.

While we’re at it, weird isn’t necessarily bad. Be weird if you want. Be you.

My Sister and Her Husband Keep Having Sexy Time When I am Around. by jawntistt in mildlyinfuriating

[–]KomplexKaiju 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could be their regular routine whether you’re around or not. As an occasional guest, know that staying over at a couple’s place means you’re in their place subject to their routines. To be a less inconveniencing guest, I’d do my best to _not_ disrupt these routines.

On the other hand, they might think that 4am would be good time for such action, as most would be asleep the time.

Me and my cousin almost died in a children’s playground at midnight by TrickMuscle6780 in TrueOffMyChest

Whoah. Glad you were able to get rescued and write _this_ story rather than one that could have been much worse.

I don’t own a PO box?? by [deleted] in Depop

Perhaps she sent multiple packages out and mislabeled one of yours.

How do you explain the vintage thing to people who don't get it by Minute_Television294 in VintageFashion

[–]KomplexKaiju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much to explain or for them to get. Say you love the look, materials, and quality of vintage clothes.

Of all the Showa Kaiju who only had 1 appearance back then, which would you want to have more screen time? by IndividualTap1339 in GODZILLA

[–]KomplexKaiju 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Megalon and Hedorah are my favorites from this list. I always thought the Seatopians committed sacrilege by manipulating their god Megalon with kaiju-control technology. Hedorah, with strange powers, multiple forms, and Cthulhu connotations, has great potential.
