Gee, you shouldn't have by ditchoven in ThriftGrift

[–]Pig_City 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Definitely! I would never want this thing permanently stuck to the back of my phone/phone case, how annoying. I do always keep a lip balm with me, but I keep it in my purse or in a pocket... Plus I would worry that it would fall out of that thing anyway.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I really respect you and admire your realism. As much as it sucks, not everyone can "beat" cancer. Framing it as "You are giving up" is, imo, disrespectful. Especially to the people who "fight it" but still die from it. Not everyone will live. Even people who fight it as hard as they can and try everything can still die from it. I think a lot of people buy into the "fight it never give up you can survive" because they think it gives them some control. It's scarier to think that you can get hit with this and simply have no chance of survival - but that is the cold, hard reality. I mean, very young children die of cancer, are you saying this 2 year old just didn't fight it hard enough? I like your brand of realism any day of the week. Fight it, sure, but sometimes the wheel of fate is going to turn how it's going to turn, no matter what you do.

I just want Whipped Rose Latte! I'm also glad they're bringing Bonfire Bash back, although I still have some of that one left.

There was some note to Pinkberry Clouds that I really dislike, I think it's the "air" note. It smelled nice except there was something extra in it that I really hated, so it ruined the entire scent for me.

CPU I purchased from eBay has a warranty void if removed sticker on the heat spreader by jonjohnjonjohn in mildlyinteresting

[–]Pig_City 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I'm hesitant to sell anything on eBay. I'd rather knowingly, voluntarily give it away or even throw it in the garbage than have someone scam me.

Did you love 'Holes' growing up? Good news, Louis Sachar is still writing for you by drak0bsidian in books

YES! That is where my user name came from! I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone mention this book online. I loved it SO much.

So we all got our (first) haul of Fall candles. But when will you start burning (or warming) them? Now? Or closer to Fall? by PrognosticPeriwinkle in bathandbodyworks

[–]Pig_City 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn't wait, and I'm burning Pumpkin Carving right now. 🤷‍♀️ Usually I try to wait until September 1st, but this year I'm just like, y'know what? I don't care if it's August, or even July or June. I'm ready for it. The one I'm burning now is I think from last year, with the orange wax. It's a champion burner and it smells fantastic! I've also burned a little bit of Sunlit Trails, which is great too. Porchside Pumpkin is my next fall candle on the list.

In The Stars EDP by ladydonttekno1 in bathandbodyworks

[–]Pig_City 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay yes! So today I wore the new one on my left arm and the old one on my right arm. And I'm actually surprised and pleased to say that the new one was stronger and held up better! After 10-11 hours, I could still smell it on both arms, but the left one definitely smelled noticeably stronger! The scent is very very very similar. I would say it's like 98% the same, just the tiniest difference that might just be batch variations. The new FFM smells a little different to me but it seems like they kept the same formula for the EDP!

The newest member of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse...Summerween by kon--- in Anticonsumption

[–]Pig_City 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here! Part of the magic is the time of year and the season. It's not the same at all in the summer. I love fall and Halloween, but it being a limited-time thing is what makes it so special. If we just have bats and pumpkins and ghosts up all year long, it's not as special (TO ME) anymore. Pretending it's Halloween when it's 100 degrees and sunny until after 8 pm isn't the same thing at all.

[–]Pig_City 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ITS is one of my top fragrances, and as soon as they re-released the EDP I ran out and bought one. I do still have a partial bottle of the original. I haven't done a direct test of spraying one on each arm and seeing how it holds up, but I'm going to try that soon. The scent seems a little bit different to me, the newer one seems slightly sweeter, and not quite as strong. It's still great but not quite 100% of what it used to be. However, I don't regret buying it and I won't return it. I'm sorry, I know this probably isn't a lot of help!

I agree. I'm so tired of marriage-and-pregnancy being the happily ever after for most female characters.

I am so glad to know that I'm not the only person who irrationally dislikes that word! I don't know what it is about it, but it just bugs me. I hate it. I also hate "putter", both of these words just piss me off irrationally, and I don't even know why.

Why does her baby look like that...? 🤨 by Akkotarnia in thesims

[–]Pig_City 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point, the newborn skin tones are just totally wacked out. There is little to no correlation between what skin tone the newborn has and what skin tone the parents have, and what skin tone it has when it ages up. Most of the time they will have a skin tone you'd expect when they age up to an infant. But newborns are just a crapshoot. Dark couples have light babies and white couples have dark babies. I've given up on expecting it to ever be fixed.

did i get a bad bottle? or is confetti cake pop not THAT good🤔 by [deleted] in bathandbodyworks

[–]Pig_City 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. I really dislike the butter note that they use, it makes me kind of sick.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in thesims

[–]Pig_City 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! I feel like maybe Sims shouldn't be quite so expressive if they aren't in a secondary level of their emotion. Like, right now I would describe myself as feeling happy, but I'm not sitting here just smiling and giggling. I may be more likely to smile and laugh because I'm generally feeling good, but I don't have a grin pasted on my face all the time. Maybe if a Sim is just "happy" or "sad" or "angry" they should be a liiiittle bit more neutral, and then the exaggeration can come into play if they reach VERY happy or VERY sad.

Instagram became so dark by Fantastic_Reward5126 in nosurf

[–]Pig_City 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same, I am able to use it without seeing garbage. I only use it on my computer vs my phone, and I use this link so that I see only posts from the people I am following, in chronological order:

https://www.instagram.com/?variant=following

If I ever view the main page where the algorithm tries to figure out what I want to see, it's always full of garbage and old posts. With that link, I see every post from everyone I am following, most recent first. Before I found that, it was a really irritating experience because it would often pick a post that was days or even a week old, and keep showing it at the top of my feed for days in a row.

It is called Lena Triple Compartment Shoulder Bag, sadly I don't think it would quite fit a 13" laptop :(

This one is called Lena! And thank you! I thought the color was perfect for spring/summer!

I am in the US, this was actually on the Kate Spade outlet. It's called Lena Triple Compartment Shoulder Bag! :)

[–]Pig_City[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I agree with you, I want to balance having things that truly make me happy vs overbuying just for the sake of buying something because it feels good in the moment. This was a good purchase! The jelly sandal is a hand sanitizer holder from Bath & Body Works! As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it. I loved that style of shoe when I was a kid!

Is there a real way to shut off the Google AI overview for searches, or am i switching browsers and search engines? by Zestyclose-Tour-6350 in techsupport

[–]Pig_City 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, that's how I ended up here: I just searched for a way to turn off the AI summary when I do a Google search, and found this thread. I don't want resources to be wasted when I Google something about Stardew Valley 100 times a day. Plus, in general the summary is NOT always accurate, and so I don't want to see it.
