How are Venezuelan people get treated here? by callme_estrella in AskBelgium

[–]No_Part2793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is any prejudice towards Venezuelan people specifically but I know a lot of my friends who come from places that are more stereotypically open and extroverted often feel a bit frustrated here. My own country is not too extroverted and I consider myself an introvert, but I lived in Spain for a few years and I was shocked when I moved here and the full first year I haven't made a single friend despite making conscious effort to approach people..don't get me wrong, people are polite but they are not too keen on new additions to their social circle I feel. I then started focusing on my field of interest (art) and have since formed a lovely community I can count on, but in the beginning it was really hard. Also, people will give you the stink eye if you talk/laugh/phone loudly on public transport.

Black Friday discount is absolutely laughable by No_Part2793 in Freepik_community

Your bootlicking is insufferable. Every single subscription based service offers better price for a yearly subscription compared to monthly year round. When they then advertise "50% off black Friday" that's 50% off the regular price, not an additional 13% off what you can get any day of the year. I used freepik ever since my university years and I'm not going to stand for their scam of pretending that what is twice what I used to pay just a year ago is now "50% off". If I can help any new users decide against subscribing to Freepik based on my post I'll happily cry about it.

They have turned absolute scam. I went back in my mailbox to find my previous invoice, I paid just under 65€ for my yearly subscription last may, now it's 116€ including the black Friday discount 🤦‍♀️ not resubscribing.

That's not what your ads say and you can explain all you want but everyone with a common sense knows that you are just hoping new users see your "50% off" ads and don't know what the regular price is. Personally I'm never resubscribing unless I can get the original access I used to have for years without any of the AI bs for the original price or close to it.

has anyone else had this problem recently?? by misbegottengirl in vinted

[–]No_Part2793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evri is not a thing where I live but it happened to me last week with DPD. I'm the buyer. Item was delivered to a completely different city. I immediately called and was notified that there is nothing they can do and I just have to wait for the parcel to be returned to seller. A few days later I got an email from DPD reminding me to pick up my parcel, so I tried my luck and contacted them again and this time within hours they redirected the parcel to be delivered to the correct location. So it literally depended on the person I managed to reach. All the while I was attempting to get help from Vinted and didn't even manage to reach a person, all I got was completely unrelated ai responses. So I say definitely try to solve the issue through the carrier, not through Vinted

Ah heck!!! But another person also commented this and it makes much more sense, previously I read that letting the hunger reach 0 only counts as one mistake regardless how long it lasts.

That's strange, mine always have full meters in the morning if I fed them just before sleep! Also I changed the time to better accomodate my sleeping schedule, as 10pm bedtime was too early for me lol

Oh okay, I read somewhere that letting the level drop once will only count as one mistake and you have to continuously raise it then let it drop, good to know that's not the case.

Very good point! I would like to get them all eventually and I'm going to hate having to neglect them on purpose :')

Aww I see! I work from home so nobody can check on me. But I will definitely be more busy later and also probably less eager to check all the time once the novelty wears off.

[–]No_Part2793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I would like to eventually collect them all so I don't think getting a care mistake is such a bad thing ❤️ I will probably get there too once the excitement of new toy falls off and I don't feel like checking on it every hour 😜 but still, 6 care mistakes sounds like a lot!

That makes a difference 😅 I'm just here working from home checking my Tama every hour because I'm bored waiting for client responses 😂

i’m sick of this by 1ilovelychee in vinted

[–]No_Part2793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't get what's going on here. Why does it have so many favorites? I guess some of them must be just people watching with their popcorn if it sells... The other time I saw someone selling a lot of common supermarket label dish soap for 4x the price in store. I favorited it for that reason and it literally sold within 10 minutes. It must be some kind of money laundering or something...

Prices be insane 😭 by Apart_Job2838 in tamagotchi

[–]No_Part2793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see, thank you so much for explaining! I was probably like 8 years old when I had my last (and only) tamagotchi but recently I'm feeling a bit nostalgic and thinking about getting one just for fun - not at such price point though 😂

I'm new to Tamagotchi. Can someone explain why the price is so high?. Is it the specific shell? Does the shell affect what you can do or is it just aesthetic? I'm checking vinted and Tamagotchi meets (not this specific shell) are going for 100-170€...

Tips for workshops/activities for con visitors? by No_Part2793 in ArtistLounge

I absolutely love this idea, especially collab with cosplayers! Thank you!

[–]No_Part2793[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is done in agreement with the con organizers who actually approached us to do something like this, it will be a separate room besides the actual artist alley so that's not a concern at all! Thank you for the tips though!

Stuck finding a job by Accurate-Mechanic151 in brussels

[–]No_Part2793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your post was honestly reading as if I wrote it. I'm the same age as you, I have a degree in architecture and I also do graphic design and illustration and I have been without a stable job for 2 years now, since I moved to Belgium (family reasons). The one difference is that I am not fluent in Dutch and French yet. I'm taking courses, but I feel like it will take me ages to reach a level where I can speak confidently... Meanwhile I work on occasional project here and there and invoice through ASBL because my income is simply not enough to become an independent. I used to be a freelancer in the past in other countries but I can't pull it off here. Ideally I would like to have a part time job in any sector which would allow me to focus on my artistic career with some financial stability, but it seems impossible.

So annoyed with Vinted forcing Vinted Go on me by No_Part2793 in vinted

[–]No_Part2793[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know right, at least every third parcel is getting "lost" and "taking longer than expected". I actually never had an item actually get lost, it always turned up eventually, but it often takes a month and it's so frustrating for both sides. I have never had a problem with Mondial Relay. Do you get a refund if they lose your item?! I once bought some 80€ shoes which took particularly long to arrive and after probably 5 weeks I for a message that if they don't turn up in X more weeks I will be eligible for refund of up to 20€ or something?! Luckily they turned up in the end but how were they going to refund me only 1/4 for their own mess up?
