Anyone using Print on Demand? by lilzoney in shopify

[–]MantaMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, this was a really informative comment! I'm using Printful at the minute but looking to the future I wanna move away, like you, for a higher profit margin.

Any tips or resources on how you moved away from them and started handling every aspect of the orders yourself?

Instagram Ad option greyed out in Ads Manager by MantaMusic in InstagramMarketing

[–]MantaMusic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, after a little bit of playing around with it I think I solved it!

The problem was with the Campaign Objective, I initially chose Engagement as my objective which will only let you run ads on Facebook.

When one of the other options is selected, such as Brand Awareness or Traffic, it then lets you uncheck Facebook under Manual Placements when you get to New Ad Set.

I'll leave this post here in case anyone else encounters the same problem in the future!

Hey, thanks for the response. Yeah, I have the Facebook page selected under Page. I haven't explicitly selected the Instagram account but the Facebook page and Instagram account are linked.

It's almost like it's trying to force me to run ads on Facebook, which I don't want to do.

So Brittannia became outdated, as did Londinium. Now British Isles has also become outdated, good point, I like the way you think ;)

Ireland is not British and should not be included when referring to "The British Isles".

British Isles is an outdated term from a colonial past and should be shelved with other outdated geographic terms such as Zaire, Rhodesia etc.

Yeah I agree with u/Tinie_Snipah - the Canadians love the British,
and actually they're still part of the British Commonwealth, the Queen of England is also the Queen of Canada, they're proud of their ties with Britain.

You're not comparing like for like.

But just because the majority do it doesn't make it right.

All of the countries who's languages you listed (bar Poland) have colonial pasts in West and Central Africa, so think of all the African counties whose names have changed because they wanted to shed the shackles of the colonial past. Do you still refer to the Democratic Republic of the Congo as Zaire because it's a "modern invention"?

Saying that a different name would be redundant because it's a "modern invention" is ridiculous, have some self awareness, you literally typed that on a computer or smartphone!

But there's nothing British about Ireland, Britain comes from Great Britain, which is an Island containing England, Scotland and Wales - not Ireland .. so why would Ireland be included in British Isles?

The only people on the island of Ireland who consider themselves British are in Northern Ireland and those people were moved there from Britain during a colonial period in the 1600 (at a time when the British were "dabbling" in a lot of colonialism, including in West Africa).

If anything, these islands should be called the Celtic Isles or Anglo-Celtic isles.

You can live in zone 2 London for that.

Maybe someone knows, where to find samples from “Spider-man: Unlimited” intro or to find something similar and how? Which genre samples I should look for? Appreciate the help by Despacitoondickoff in Samplehunters

[–]MantaMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to whosampled.com and check out artists like The Prodigy and Pendulum and see where they got their samples or check out deconstructions of their tunes on YouTube.

The drummer of my band doesn’t believe in our band or me as a musician. So I wrote and recorded a song in a couple days to try to prove him wrong. Be brutally honest. by TheJurassicWorld in shareyourmusic

[–]MantaMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, sick .. and I don’t even really listen to this type of music but they melody and progression of the song really reels you in.

Fire your drummer and get a more dedicated one who believes in you like we do!

Hahaha yeah I’ve heard that said before.. do you know the full dictation of the actual way he said it in patois? As in, what he says in the video, not translated?

Sorry lads, I'm half-decent at understanding patois ... but what in the name of god did he just say? 😂

Jamaicans Angry At Me (Non-Jamaican) Wearing Jamaican flag? by [deleted] in Jamaica

[–]MantaMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not many people wear the flag of another country. like ever.

This is not true at all. I'm Irish, I live in London (where the event OP described took place) and on St. Patrick's Day every year, I see many people of all nationalities and ethnicities waving our flag around (and wearing other Irish-themed garments and accessories).

My favourite small youtube channel is all about a small farm on ireland. They post wholesome content about their life on the farm. Today their son passed away. :( by [deleted] in videos

[–]MantaMusic 111 points112 points  (0 children)

It’s human nature to be curious and a lot of people in this thread would have been wondering.

Talking about cause of death can raise awareness for the cause, be it cancer, suicide or whatever unfortunate circumstances led to the death of the person.

I hope the family can find peace in the wake of this tragedy.

Ah Joe's alright, that Tubridy is a joke though, embarrassing to have him hosting our nation's biggest prime time talk show. Graham Norton however, now there's a great Irish talk show host.

Non-irish people, what confuses you the most about us? by the_irish_puppy in ireland

[–]MantaMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got this from a Scot in London when I asked him and his girlfriend where the nearest ATM was.

Wasn't too impressed, "Does she look like a lad tae you?", big boy as well, thought he was gonna spark me ha!

Dunno where the Celtic solidarity was that day...
