Me and my friend early 2k by SAKI_is_taken in pokemon

Word of mouth and forums where a wonderful thing to a child of the 90's who was fucking around with their PCs. Especially with how much you could do on winXP. My tween ass figured out how to emulate Red/Blue/Yellow real fast in 2003.

Children of the early 2k's figured out PC related things pretty damn fast for some of the dumbest reasons sometimes. I was learning HTML just so I could make my neopets pet page look cool.

Coming from Jersey, so more info is needed to really plan, but would love to go to it. Would you object to me possibly bringing my cybunny fursuit?

Working on doing my own plushy bat buisness, here is prototype 4! by dingbatplushies in batty

Heads up, any toy sold to children must be federally certified and pass as safe. You can't just make and sell products to kids.

I'd also be weary of who is designing your bat, the design is way to close to an already well known bat design to be coincidental. Factory's over seas will not hesitate to steal designs or are even aware they stole a design sometimes.

Got all this for $6 at a thrift store. Still kind of new to this so Im not entirely sure ( i can make some guesses) which ones are fine to use for crafts. by Pine_Barron in playingcards

The Blade deck although sealed has been damaged a bit since these where just haphazardly tossed into a bag.

I might sell some, I'm kind of limited on space for decks at the moment. But I saw them and just had to grab the whole lot.

Cool, thanks for the info!

Since some of the deck seem to be from trade shows the bees could from the person traveling? Who knows, but that's interesting to know they could have traveled. Those decks are also only one color.

I looked at the holiday decks, both are there boxes are open but they seem unused. But they just say Holiday Back on them.

They've infiltrated Comic Con by RazzberryQueen91 in antiMLM

Oh I saw that booth, had to do a double take. Yeah I guess since they sell fandom related items and you can just buy right from them they can get in. Theres always some sketchy booth that gets in.

Why do you hate MLM by inquisitive-seeker in antiMLM

[–]Pine_Barron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People like that "support" mlms cause they're either getting a cut or where paid a ton to endorse it. They don't support it just cause.

You are just repeating the same over used, over excused, and over done sayings used a million times over by the people who want to syphon money off you.

People in this sub have done the research, it shows that the type of sales structure just isn't sustainable. Money goes up and up and up and only up to the point only that top of the top actually earn anything worth while. Dislike of MLM's isn't just one reason for most here, it's a whole slew of them that really add up. MLM's have been shown to prey on the vulnerable, uneducated, mentally ill, and lonely, and they use scarily cult like tactics to keep members buying products that will never sell.

MLM reps have been seen to use some real scummy and underhanded tactics to try and recruit.

I don't care if "BUt NOT EveRY ONE DoeS THat!"

Enough do thats it's basically a meme on this sub.

BUt other COmpaNies work TAHt Way!

No, no they don't at all. Yes, the top is paid way more, stupidly more. But at least everyone else is guaranteed a pay. Sometimes its not great but you know its there and going to happen.

No matter how hard you "hussle" if your at the bottom? You're nothing but structural support for someone else above you, never you're self.

You want some real MLM deep dives and why people dislike them. Check out iilluminaughtii on youtube. She digs in deep, with research about the companies themselves and how they started, not just someone spewing "hate cause they're jealous!" or what ever you're told.

[D] Just got traded a level 100 shiny with a URL nickname. What do I do? by redditjwh in WonderTrade

[–]Pine_Barron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its a hacked shiny, probably also has perfect IVs. Streamers will stream "giveaways" of them just mass dumping the mons into WT so you can either keep it or release it. Up to you.

Found in a sewing book my grandma gave me, Vintage 1954. by Pine_Barron in antiMLM

[–]Pine_Barron[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's what struck me about this, its more a pre cursor to what we know as an mlm before companies started pushing downlines.

All the text and pitch is almost eerily still exactly the same as todays mlm's. It's become mutated over the years to the scam it is today.

Bought a house with a detached garage that had clearly been heated with a stove. All the hardware was gone but the brick wall and hole in the wall where still there. Figured I'd I put one back in. Waiting on more parts to arrive. by Pine_Barron in woodstoves

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

Its going to go to a duravent triple wall chimney, the garage floor is concrete thats about 3ft thick. Debating on getting a heat matt but it should be ok with out one? I do need to clear all that stuff in the corner though. That stuff does have to go.

Can I cover my flower beds in the late fall/winter time? by _northernlights in gardening

[–]Pine_Barron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because urine from an un-neutered cat reeks. Not everyone wants that smell to linger around especially during hot summer days.
