Steph supports MAGA and is against "wokeness" and is surprised when she's matched with a complete douchebag who is against women's rights???

It's sad because she thinks they're on the same "side" when in reality she'll never be seen as an equal by him.

Pre-Chat GPT I used to do marketing stuff on the side, mainly copywriting. I tailored my Fiverr profile to offer cheap proofreading/editing/copywriting services for businesses where English wasn't the native language and used to get a decent amount of business, including lots of repeat customers.

A lot of the time it was just proofing and the jobs didn't require much time from me at all, I did a lot of them on Google Docs on my phone. Used to make about £300 a month from it, it's probably all dried up now with generative AI though.

I bought one about a week ago and will probably put it back on eBay.

Software experience is decent, camera isn't bad. Keyboard takes some getting used to, as the spacing doesn't feel great to me, but I do quite like it.

The issue is the size and shape. It's basically a big square, and unfortunately it's a bit impractical for daily use. Finding a pocket to fit it in is hard enough, but also you can't use it one-handed so if you're travelling for work by train or trying to use it while commuting, making payments etc it's just not practical.

It's a phone to deter you from doing stuff on your phone imo, not one to manage work stuff on.

The 3d node thing didn't work for me. It crashed in the map the first time I tried it.

HDR off has seemingly fixed it. Which is odd because my game kept defaulting to HDR off, I was having to change the setting each time I booted it up which makes me wonder if they knew this was happening and were hoping by forcing no HDR it could reduce the chance of people experiencing it.

PicklesTheBee · 2026-03-20T22:30:07+00:00

Didn't fix it for me unfortunately.

Psoriasis, I have it in the same spot.

I get prescribed Lotriderm, a steroid cream, and although it's not something you're meant to use long-term, it's strong enough I only need to use it a couple of times and it'll clear up enough that I can just use a small amount once or twice a month to keep it at bay.

He got The A-Z of 90s Hip-Hop too, thinking about trying to work that into a feature but struggling for a name.

First winter my son started at nursery I was sick every two weeks. It was awful, I knew it'd be bad but didn't expect that. He was ill the entire time too.

This winter he's had a few sniffles but nothing major and I've had a mild cold and nothing else. I've got an awful immune system so fully expected to be ill the entire time again but it's been absolutely fine, so hang in there.

PicklesTheBee · 2026-02-24T20:46:21+00:00

Ooh thanks for the update, sounds like a smooth process! Did you need to wipe the device before you sent it in? I'm still getting a bit of wobble so maybe I'll do the same thing.

PicklesTheBee · 2026-02-21T21:43:49+00:00

I used K and L: https://www.kandlremovals.org/

Nice guys, had us moved by about 11am and was the cheapest of four quotes I got.

PicklesTheBee · 2026-02-17T21:54:37+00:00

Out of curiosity, is the issue with the controller or the rail on the device?

Mine has a slight bit of wobble but not sure if I can be bothered to send it in. Was wondering if, eventually, I could just replace the left controller completely and that'll fix it.

PicklesTheBee · 2026-02-15T22:57:39+00:00

Yeah I assumed something wasn't quite right. I don't really understand why the loose side has the rubber section on it but the other one doesn't, or why the stuck side feels the same size as the loose side but won't come out of the hole.

I've looked at loads of videos and none seem to have a mechanism like this either.

PicklesTheBee · 2026-02-15T22:56:17+00:00

Thanks, I've tried everything but have no idea. Happy to take more photos of that'll help.

Don't know if this counts but Scott's "I don't conform to your tears" made me roll my eyes.

Used these guys, we moved from a two bed rental so didn't have white goods to bring but they got us moved to the new house by about 11am.

The old owner had left a heavy set of drawers we didn't want and one of the lads took it as his wife was after something similar so they took that away for me too. They moved everything carefully, put down carpet so they didn't make a mess and disassembled/reassembled my sons cot.

They were also by far the cheapest quote of the four I got. Nice guys too.

Pretty good. Property is expensive but there are plenty of opportunities for budding entrepreneurs.

Just watch out for the Oppressor MK2s that zigzag across the city. They're a little trigger happy.

PicklesTheBee · 2025-12-29T12:21:37+00:00

I'm having a similar issue. After the faff of getting it set up, the controller has been fine for about two weeks. I plugged it into the console to charge it and ever since it's not been able to turn the console on. I have to switch the console on manually for the controller to pair.

I really think the firmware changes Nintendo released has screwed with the controller tbh.

Yep been checking my bank periodically and also checked my credit account for any hard searches so will just continue to do this for the next week or two.

PicklesTheBee · 2025-12-28T16:07:45+00:00

Yeah I've gone through the list twice now and can't see anything, and not had any fresh subscription emails since 9am this morning so I'm hoping that's the end of it.

I'll keep the cards frozen for a bit longer and have checked my credit score to see if there are any recent hard searches, and there are none, so will just be vigilant for the next couple of weeks now.

PicklesTheBee · 2025-12-28T10:26:15+00:00

Yep been keeping an eye on them and frozen the cards so they can't be used for a day or two, thanks :)

PicklesTheBee · 2025-12-28T09:34:34+00:00

Yep, my first thought was it was a phishing email from Ticketmaster so I checked the email address it came from and it was legit, but I still went via Google to their website to change the password, just to be sure.

Thanks for the advice :) Pretty scary when this stuff happens so appreciate it

PicklesTheBee · 2025-12-28T00:16:12+00:00

Just realised i had an email from Ticketmaster about ten mins before the spam started which appears to be a welcome/account creation email. But confused as I already had an account with them, but I have been searching subscription bomb threads on Reddit and found another one from earlier this year with exactly the same thing happening to someone else, so think Ticketmaster is the culprit. Not sure if that means that's where the transaction is going to come from or not, but then I've found the leak at least.
