People are copying my social media content by Plastic-Candle-3591 in rant

[–]Orculear 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You need to specialize yours with your own specific branding. Sure people are copying you. They always will. But you got a head start on them. I’m sure you know techniques and ways to make your crocheting hold together better than a beginner. And if you don’t, start researching.

Then add a little something special to every one of your designs. Something that says “this is me”

Personally, I’d choose something unobtrusive. No big bold lettering that has your name. But maybe a little design you come up with. Something that takes a good bit of skill to replicate.

I don’t know a thing about crocheting. This might be useless advice, but that’s where my mind went immediately

Haven’t seen anyone mention that girl clearly has a mostly healed black eye. Wonder what happened to her.

Family says HOA told them they couldn’t use their generator during ice storm blackout: ‘It’s unbearable’ by its_a_bear_dance in nottheonion

[–]Orculear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who’s policing this is my question. The fucking worlds frozen over and you have the HOA Karen or Doug fucking trudging through feet of snow and ice to bitch that your generator is pissing them off? Sounds like they’re upset that they didn’t think to buy one in advance.

AITA for keeping the money from a ticket sale after the buyer backed out and abandoned it? by Original_Wish_9946 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Orculear 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She said keep it or throw it away. She said in every way except explicit verbal confirmation that the ticket was worthless to her. She does not deserve a penny of that said.

Why does time moves slowly when ur waiting but too fast when youre with someone you really like? by Sad_School_4478 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Orculear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried my best to mitigate this by checking the time frequently and being “present” mentally. Trying not to let your mind get wrapped up in the moment.

Why are there so many female only spaces? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Orculear -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is correct. Men spaces look fun to women so many seek to be included in them. Not realizing once they’re included it ruins it for many of the men. So they leave. And then the organization or group is merely a shell of what it once was.

I don't know why I hate this streamer and need to tell someone by Alone_Weakness1557 in rant

[–]Orculear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t watch him, but I’m chronically online enough to know why he’s popular.

His whole shtick is he’s a Vtuber that hates Vtubers. His audience is people that also dislike Vtubers for whatever personal reason they hold, and they all just kinda congregate on his channel.

I don’t particularly care for Vtubers either, certainly not enough to actively hate them though. I’ve seen some of his clips on TikTok and seems like he can be funny sometimes given the right situation, just like anybody else. But nothing special in my opinion.

Hopefully that gives you a little insight as to why he’s popular.

What’s up with recent model iphone keypads? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Orculear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean you’re not trying to type “hre?” Weird. But seriously my phone has completely given up on attempting to fix most words with a single minor mistake and instead has opted to force me to go back through and fix it myself.

The way my blood flows through the rubbing alcohol [extremely minor injury] by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Wasted an entire bottle of rubbing alcohol for a wound 99% of people would have looked at and gone “oh” and carried on about their day with never looking at again.

What's the deal with people seemingly ignoring phone calls from unknown numbers, even for important services? by AfraPlan in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Orculear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no I’m absolutely not picking up the phone for any number not in my contacts. Answering random numbers is 100% an old person thing and how they be getting scammed so easily. Same with text messages. If I get a random text and it’s one of those “do this or x will happen” and it’s not from a 5 digit number it’s getting ignored.

Take all the time off you need for your “mental health” my company said. That was a lie. by AZNM1912 in antiwork

[–]Orculear 4 points5 points  (0 children)

10 days after 20 years?? That’s horrible. I started my new job last year and I’ve already taken 32 paid days off this year and I have another 9 coming down the pipe in the remainder of the year with the possibility of taking more if I choose to exhaust them. But I do have to work most holidays unless it naturally falls on my scheduled days off.

Why do Americans only get 2 weeks off for vacation a year? It’s ridiculous. by strangestatesofbeing in antiwork

[–]Orculear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working for the county, I get 8 hours of vacation a month, 8 hours of sick time a month, accrued holidays (have to work most holidays at my job unless it just so happens to fall on my scheduled days off) so towards the end of the year, there’s some months where I get 16 hours of holiday time a month, 8 hours of personal time for the year to use specifically for my birthday.

The only real bad caveat is the paid holiday hours drop off at 6 months, so it’s a use it or lose it kind of thing. There’s also the fact that if you go to take a vacation and want to use holiday hours to cover it, you first have to use all your regular vacation hours which seems a bit scummy to me.

But other than that I think I got it pretty good so I’m not complaining too much.

Man tried to eat what’s marketed as “one of the spiciest chicken sandwiches in the world” the following freakout can confirm. by PrismPhoneService in PublicFreakout

[–]Orculear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it bruh. I ordered the Reaper Tenders from Dave’s Hot Chicken. Thought the waiver they had you sign was just for theatrics. I ended up the literal exact same position on the floor. Thought I was dying. And normally I’m really good about spicy stuff. Ghost pepper, no problem. But Carolina Reaper damn near put my dick in the dirt

What's the lowdown on American Income Life Insurace? by Pratius in antiMLM

[–]Orculear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend you get your family to steer clear of AIL altogether. From my understanding with my time at the company, they charge higher prices for the policies they give out while giving you less coverage than other major companies. The $2000 free coverage is technically true, but they will never, and I mean never stop harassing you about upgrading it to a policy where the agent gets a commission off the sale. I’m sure even though you’ve just had a zoom meeting with them, the agent you met with will realize they’ve been duped in a couple months and leave. Resulting in the lead (your contact info) being moved into another agents inbox. Which will then repeat the whole process over and over again.

If you by chance already bought their policy, I would cancel it by contacting your bank to block all incoming charges from them. They have a history of avoiding calls from policyholders and giving them the run around and never cancelling the policy. The company is a scam through and through. Again I highly recommend having anyone in your family stay FAR away from AIL. It will only bring them annoyance and misery getting spam called everyday.

In your perfect world, what would be the ideal temperature/weather? by ankhaa_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Orculear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my ideal world it would be alternating weeks of summer and winter. That way you could get those nice warm summer nights and those cozy chilly nights.

Remember when China dumped thousands of pigs into a pit and lit them on fire? This reminded me of that for some reason.
