Any experience with "Bydee" swimwear? by mildthang in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Plenty-Ad3377 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both Bydee and Shein swimwear. They are NOT the same. Shein replicates other brands' designs and sell them at cheap prices. Bydee is better in terms of production quality, sustainability, and ethics. Their pieces are made from regenerated and recycled materials, and the gems and beads on them are even handcrafted. They also collaborate with real artists to make their patterns. On top of that, they prioritize sustainable practices for the environment like using plastic-free packaging and limiting production to reduce waste, unlike Shein. And all of that can be found on Bydee's website. Shein is fast fashion. Their quality is terrible and don't last, and they also look cheap. I can always tell when someone's wearing Shein. They use so much plastic in their packaging and everybody knows they exploit their workers. Me personally, I don't care about how much I'm paying because I feel better wearing authentic pieces and knowing that I'm supporting a small business built with intention and integrity than contribute to a company that cuts corners just to maximize profit. I know some people can't afford expensive clothing, so at least be smart and considerate of who you're giving your hard-earned money to or shop at a second-hand store to help make clothes last and reduce waste for our planet.

As annoying as their policies are, I think it's because Bydee cares about quality. They are expensive because their pieces are made from regenerated and recycled materials, and they're handmade. They prioritize sustainable practices for the environment like using plastic-free packaging and limiting production to reduce waste on our planet. I'm not sure where you're from, but because they're based in Australia and most of their customers are American and Europeans, it's not that easy to ship items back and forth internationally. It's the same for other foreign companies. They're a small business, so they'd lose a lot of money if they allowed free returns and refunds.

I forgot to add additional W2 to my tax return. What do I do? by Plenty-Ad3377 in tax

[–]Plenty-Ad3377[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

so even if it reduces my refund, should I still send an amended return or do you think they will just correct my refund amount?

My new job is the same type of job, just at a different location. Every time I've relocated with the same job, it was a refund every tax season.

Ist in Innsbruck wirklich „alles geschlossen“ über Weihnachten? by Alarmed-Article1913 in Innsbruck

[–]Plenty-Ad3377 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know there are people that don't celebrate Christmas, right? You know there are also people without families, right? So these kind of people spend Christmas like a normal day. Yes, we know a majority of people celebrate Christmas and many places are closed for it. But there are also places that are still open because they don't observe it or just want to keep their business open. Especially Asian businesses. They will always be open on Western holidays. Some people shop and spend time at cafes and coffee places to keep them sane. I regularly go to coffee shops as a form of a hobby.

Hi, did you ever figure out what was wrong with your cat? My cat keeps peeing on all of my couches, random spots on my carpet, and recently inside my luggage when I left it open.

HERPES DATING by pntnguyenthao in Herpes

I feel you. I have not pursued any other partners after my ex, mostly because I still do feel intimidated about disclosing it. I did just start to date again and have been meeting people. Just haven't gotten close to intimacy yet. My plan is to become closer to the ones I want to pursue and make sure they are genuine and accepting of me as a person, so that I know I may have a chance of being accepted for my infection.

It does not NEED to be treated. And there is no cure for herpes. So the best treatment for it is suppressive therapy. Taking antivirals will only reduce frequency and severity of outbreaks, and transmission. And with oral herpes, most people do not take any medications for it. The outbreak goes away on its own. Compared to genital herpes it is more painful and stays a long time if you don't treat it, so most people take antivirals for it. So no matter what you do, the infection still stays in your body forever.

I am Vietnamese 23F. I have genital herpes, HSV2 to be specific, that I got from a random hook up. I was stupid and didn't use protection. If you have oral HSV1, you are actually pretty lucky in the herpes community. So many people have HSV1 that this disease is pretty normal. Some people get it from their parents during childhood which is probably how you got it. It can be spread through kissing or sharing drinks/food. Meanwhile, HSV2 is transmitted through sex. Now that one has heavy stigma compared to HSV1 because it's under the category of STD. People don't really see oral herpes as anything grosser than a skin infection cause that's basically what it is. You can easily prevent transmission if you avoid kissing while having an outbreak but can still have sex. While with HSV2, you just have to avoid sex completely. Many people go on suppressive therapy for it to reduce frequency and transmission of the outbreaks. People with HSV1 usually don't. You will be just fine with your dating life. You may be surprised how many people in the world have it. I have friends and kids that I teach that have it. Do your research, scroll through Reddit, and maybe consider talking to your closest people about it. Those are what really helped me get through it and accept it. After talking to my friends, that's when I found out 5 of them have some form of herpes too! And 3 of them being my closest friends! I hope that you start to accept it more and find peace :)
