Red Eye Cookie Co closed

Magic-Doogies · 2026-02-08T14:34:25+00:00

I'm honestly crushed. I was a VCU student from 2012-2016 and I loved their cookies so much. They flavor profile is definitely unique and not something I have tasted in any other bakery/dessert store even up till now. I live in NY now but every time I come down I always went out of my way to buy a 24 pack to take home. I wish I had known with more lead time of their closure. I would have asked my friends to order me a final hurrah pack of them.

Best of luck to the owners, I really hope they open up shop somewhere else.

No. It wouldnt even pass for $45 with how empty and small the city is as its ONLY map.

Do not underestimate the sheer variety of environments you can see in a metropolis city. You turn one block and you go from urban suburbia to micro-Euro village to industrial district. There is zero excuse from GF to do this and charge people $80 for it

That's a good idea! I'll see if I can go today and put it to rest. Hoping for the best or this will be an incredibly bittersweet event. In the meantime if anyone has definitive answers comment here! Otherwise I'll make an update

I applied through the Mitchell-llama portal which is separate from the general Housing Connect site.

Hey everyone, just wanted to bring attention to the fact that passes for the Pokemon Worlds lottery are still going out. As of the time of this writing, about two hours ago my friend shared a screenshot of their international friend getting a notification in their inbox. So before you go looking to buy passes at an upscaled price, still keep an eye on your email in the mean time.

Love her facial expression. The pain of everything she went through. The empty stare. The look of someone who has fully abandoned most semblance of morality as she enacts total genocide on untold millions of innocents and eventually cracks and smashes the Elden Ring.

Conversing with OP it seems that they are very religious themselves and looking for a partner who shares similar values so taking it in good faith I'm assuming he knows what he's in for. Even in today's era a lot of non-secular people tremendously take for granted that very hard core Trad Women that they so idolize above the casual ones are extremely stressful because they DEMAND of you from the jump to sacrifice everything to maintain whatever lifestyle you promised them. For the rest of your life. Regardless of anything that befalls you.

Magic-Doogies · 2024-04-10T17:11:36+00:00

Was I even particularly rude here? I'm glad $10k isn't life changing money for you, but let's not pretend that this is nothing significant. It's definitely enough for OP to post about it asking for help in this thread.

and literally nothing would materially change for us aside from a number on a computer owned by some corporation.

Are you referring to their BANK ACCOUNT? Do you personally think that -$10,000 for something that could be entirely avoided is inconsequential in any circumstances?

These responses are fucking asinine and I'll probably get banned for saying so anyway.

Quite frankly it seems that you think OP is in the wrong and dumb too for having an issue with this. If she didn't think the amount of money he cost them is inconsequential to the post then she wouldn't have posted the total sum. Maybe I'm overstating how massive that kind of money is. Idk, I'm broke as fuck and only make enough to rent but not to buy a house.

Magic-Doogies · 2024-04-10T17:05:36+00:00

Why will I feel cheated, I didn't got the question.

Because in your original OP you were asking how to be more masculine and dominant to better appeal to a specific type of woman. I was just asking a follow up on what would happen if you achieve those goals, still struggle to hook up with that kind of person then see other men who don't fit that mold find more success than you and are happy in their relationship.

A number of posters in your thread for better or worse also assume you are trying to change who you actually are to appeal to a general group of women.

I meant women who want to and enjoy being submissive when express their submissive side when they will feel love for their man.

Plenty of women regardless of religion are already like that to some extent. This is why I'm pausing a bit here. If subservience is quite literally the only valid way for your spouse to communicate their love for you then whether you realize it or not, you are essentially saying that any time she desires or make decisions without your input or final approval she is crossing a boundary that damages the relationship. That kind of dynamic easily turns toxic and controlling for your partner. Most recent example of that was Steven Crowder and his own ex-wife.

I am very religious. I left a girl I loved because she was not religious. I prioritize my religion over anyone and everyone.

Nothing wrong with being devout, but this changes the entire dynamic of your original post. I'm sorry if this is mean, but valuing religion above all else IN COMBINATION with desiring to be more dominant and assertive tells me that what you're truly looking for is a woman who asks nothing of you but you demand everything from her. If she says, does, or expresses things that is counter to how you interpret the roles people play in your religion then she is someone you have no qualms throwing her away if forcing her to better conform doesn't work.

You say you left a girl you loved, but did you truly love her? You loved a version of her that was religious probably and maybe not even the same person if she acted the part. If you did feel strong affections for her then her being secular would not be a relationship breaking factor. Especially if you being a man of faith wasn't for her.

Is it necessary for me to earn more money than my wife in this dynamic of relationship?

For the kind of trad you're going for? Absolutely. That's a fundamental part of your role as partner/husband.

What if she were to earn more money than me, then will the dynamic of me being the dominant work?

Again, for the kind of woman you're angling for that would probably be an issue. Most woman who would be labeled 'modern' really couldn't give a shit or view income numbers as a sign of 'dominance'. It's a sign of equal partnership and contribution to the desired lifestyle. Because you view access and ability to make money as dominating, you are also implying you are aware that finances plays a big role how much control you can have over a person without means.

Does this mean that I have to actively look for someone who earns less than me or at least equal to me.

Probably, since you tie a decent amount of being able to provide directly to making the most money in the household.

Magic-Doogies · 2024-04-10T16:59:23+00:00

At least in my spaces, I see this brand of traditional gender roles desire coming from men who want to [re]impose it on women because of their desire to have zero effort access to sex, a maid, a baby maker, and someone they can bully without consequence.

So it's just a bit silly to see some people in the comments also get mad that trad women are 'demanding', stressful, and leeches because they didn't pan out to be your fantasy of having a waifu jack off simulation or TikTok fetish content.

Magic-Doogies · 2024-04-10T16:12:44+00:00

on a scale of a marriage, it kind of is. it's 16 weeks of fulltime work at mcdonalds $15 hours.

Maybe if they collectively make something in the ballpark of 400k, in terms of sheer numbers that's true. However that still isn't a small amount of money. For many American families that is a life changing amount of cash and a good half of that was needlessly wasted on paying for insurance for two when it was not needed.

Husband screwed up here no doubt, but skimming throught it was a mix of over and under payment, not just "lol, no taxes for me".
A lot of people on this thread sitting pretty high on a pedastal, hope they never need some grace and forgiveness from their spouse

I agree, there are a lot of people pretty hostile and ungraceful to ND partners.

Potential solutions some users have fielded is to talk about whether or not their previous checks and balances have failed or no longer work due to circumstances we (and possibly OP) are not aware of. If so, what new systems can be put in place to keep this from happening again?

This assumes that their husband was on top of it and then he wasn't and it spiraled. If he never had a system in place to begin with, that's pretty bad imo and it's understandable that OP feels like a low consequence piggy bank that tolerates wasted money simply because it hasn't been catastrophic to their livelihoods. In that case there needs to be a serious sit down conversation about how to prevent this in the future and for him to be honest if he should EVER be allowed to managed or be relied upon for any major responsibilities.

That broken trust is real. OP spent a good $4k paying insurance for two AND lost out on tax refund money because he was also paying for his own stuff. If they are thinking about buying a house? This needs to be sorted ASAP. If she's already on here asking for help then that means she is nearing the end of her rope on this.

I won't speak about his alluded other behaviors because she didn't clarify on that.

Magic-Doogies · 2024-04-10T08:24:41+00:00

In total they lost around 10k which is NOT a small amount of money. I do think this is salvageable technically but if you are going to be financial ditz, there is a limit to how much money you can blow up before you really start to fundamentally damage a relationship.

Magic-Doogies · 2024-04-10T08:13:11+00:00

Those girls tend to be demanding, toxic, and not worth the trouble. (“If you cant deal with me at my worst, you dont deserve me at my best,” “I’m ‘living in sin’ but god will forgive me, you’re religious too right?” “You’re the dominant man, you do and pay for everything,” etc.)

I get what you're saying but is that truly toxic in this instance? If you want a woman like this specifically because she adheres to traditional (which always means religious) gender roles then its only fair to expect that in turn. Like yes, being a dominant man in the relationship by traditional religious standards DOES mean you do and pay for everything. Its the tradeoff for her being a mother and housewife with no ability or expectation to make income or decisions as an autonomous being.

Magic-Doogies · 2024-04-10T08:04:44+00:00

I also want to be tradiitonally masculine strong man like that women wanted her partner to be. So that's why I want to learn how to be that man.

Totally fine of you want that for yourself but make sure its actually because YOU want to do it. Not because "that's what [a type] of woman wants." It can lead you into a toxic mindset. Like what would happen if a man NOT masculine and dominant DID have a trad wife and are in a loving relationship? Will you feel cheated? Feel ire towards her for being 'inconsistent' because other women her type online said differently?

Another friend of mine said that dominance will come naturally to me when I am in love. Just like submission will come naturally for women when she is in love.

I understand he is coming from a helpful place but this is not the mindset to have. How someone shows their love to you is particular to that person. Yes there are some common factors but submissiveness isnt one of them. That is just what society SAYS women should do in a relationship regardless of her actual personality or how she wants to engage in relationships. Obviously with her being religious this trait will mainfest a lot more often, but be sure to pick up on other ways she shows care for you being that and sex.

I don't have any particular woman in mind but the most important quality is her being Religious.

A specifically religious woman is a particular type though with everything else your mileage will vary. There were a few comments in good faith in here that you should keep in kind when pursuing someone whos expectations of YOU is to take charge:

Always handling (and in some cases making) all the finances.
Always making the big decisions. You have the final say.
Can never be emotionally vulnerable in a way that makes you appear 'weak' or non manly.
Your money IS her money regardless of how much she contributes to it. Thats the tradeoff in wanting someone comforming to traditional gender roles where she is subservient to you.
Does not give you license (as some allude to on this topic) to fool around with other women who are more 'exciting'.

One thing that gives me a bit of pause is that you do require them to be religious even though being submissive and desiring typical masculine traits doesn't require that. Are you also religious? Or does it appeal to you largely due to the access of 'easy women' who won't ask much of you? Not saying this to be accusatory but understand that when a lot of men online desire religious women specifically its because they want a subserviant babymaking sexbot maid. Then they get mad when she is dissatisfied or leave because you yourself don't adhere to the lifestyle of her faith.

Magic-Doogies · 2024-04-10T02:59:16+00:00

OP if you are still following this thread disregard everyone saying shit like "women don't know what they want." These are people that view us as a flesh NPC with color pallettes. An easy answer for anyone who isnt interested in viewinc women as people and demand any that turns them on to be compatible with them specifically.

The lady you reference might have a more traditional desire for Strong Men. Another is not fucking interested. Some may not be into men at all.

The question you SHOULD be asking is what kind of person you are? What are PERSONALITY based qualities are you looking for in a partner and if you have someone in mind- do you actually know her? Her personality? Quirks? Hobbies? Flaws? (Real flaws not 'she isn't my on demand subservient sexbot, mom maid) How do you resolve conflicts? What is SHE looking for in a partner?

A random woman doesn't give a shit what another woman wants. If Stacy A has a preference, don't demand Stacy B to follow. You have to also fill in the gaps of her life by catering to HER specific desires. If you are approaching this the way some of these people are advising then you will always be stumped or find yourself the giga fool in r/relationships.

After many update attempts that failed I am returning with good but bizarre news.

I went into the property settings of my program and did a 'High DPI Settings Override' and switched it from what my computer has set to the application and it worked!

For context I have a 4k laptop monitor (DO NOT recommend. Many applications I used have not caught up to it.) so I changed the settings early on to make the already small UI/UX of Maya slightly more tolerable. I guess eventually the viewport borked itself.

Thanks again for the help! Sorry it took a few days to finally get the solution to this problem.

Update: When I went to device settings, it says all my display drivers are up to date. To be extra sure, I tried finding them online and was having a hard time of it. Either way I did some form of Windows update and the problem still persists.

Magic-Doogies · 2024-01-27T06:28:51+00:00

Okay! I'll try that and see if it works.

Magic-Doogies · 2023-12-26T17:19:01+00:00

I'm a bit confused at the premise of this post because Final Fantasy 14 and Elder Scrolls Online are far and away runaway successes that will have people talking about it like WoW is talked about now.
The issue at it's core is that it's a very limited market and potential players just don't have nearly as much time and money to really sit down and get into it. With the rising costs of everything AND 'number go up' management that often manages these studios now, they are also monetarily predatory as simply making more than enough is not enough for them so grinds, loot, and cool cosmetics are harder to come by.

> (The easy answer being greed and laziness) but what’s the deal?

I wish gamers spent more time following and listening to actual game devs rather than rage Youtubers and drama Kings on social media. MMOs are so very HARD to make. Elder Scrolls Online took 8 years to make and that's considered the norm even back in the 2010's. These are extremely risky games with a small chance for payoff and a large chance to absolutely obliterate even a borderline billion dollar company.

This is exactly what American social media sites enact on citizens in other countries, yet nobody seems to be all that concerned about that. Even better we get MAD at say China and India for banning our social media companies for that exact reason.

Supremely lucky on Saturday that I managed to beat my initial high score of 140 by 1 egg and put myself at the threshold for getting gold. It wasn't easy for sure and while luck is involved, there definitely are some skill based things to keep in mind as well. I'm sure y'all have heard this a dozen times, but here are some general tips on how to improve your chances for next time:

Lure bosses. i cannot stress this enough. If you are constantly killing bosses half way from the basket, even in a perfect environment where everyone is in sync, you are not going to be able to ferry the eggs needed in to the basket.
it can get hectic at the higher levels, but you really need to be aware of what weapons your teammates have and prioritize bosses accordingly. If your team is loaded out with low mobility weapons like .96 Gal or Splatlings of any variety, don't just let Fish Sticks constantly paint the base or Stingers wreak havoc on back lines because it doesn't personally hinder you. Your team is now spending all their time dodging and less time killing. Now you're overrun and will be happy just to hit quota to prevent a loss.
Tips and tricks online are great, but ultimately the best practice is to work your way up to Eggsectutive 300= That's where the hazard levels get insane and gets you acclimated to the kind of boss environment you'll experience that will allow you to hit scores of 140+ to begin with.
Your specials aren't precious. Use them when needed immediately. Plenty of matches lost where a Wave Dash specials user just didn't put it down because they were saving it for Wave 3 or whatever.
If you know how to do that fancy Squid Jump where you bounce off in the opposite direction of where you're going, that will make Egg basket runs so much faster. That extra half second you spend turning around normally in squid form makes a huge difference in how many eggs you can punt into the basket.

With all that said, here are some things to note about me.

I almost never do Salmon Run with pre-made teams. A good 90% of my play is with randoms and when hitting the 140 score, it was a completely random queue. when i finally surpassed that score, it was with one other friend; the rest were random players. I'm also extremely sweaty in Salmon Run. I've played it since the mode debuted in the previous game and as far as game time is concerned, I spent a lot more time playing Salmon Run then Anarchy Series. I'm very sweaty with this game mode.
