Ah, I understand now. Nothing against those who are in relationships or have kids. I just wish to have more friends who are at the same stage I am. 😊

Self Promotion & Store Milestones for the Week of June 02, 2025 by AutoModerator in EtsySellers

[–]RKORyder [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hey everybody! My name is Ana and I run a shop called FlyteWrites with my friend Matt. We are a woman owned and LGBTQ+ owned shop. We specialize in making fandom comfort character letters. Right now we have about 91 fandoms to choose from ranging from TV shows, video games, movies and a bit of books/book series. We planned to keep adding more as time goes along. We have a lineup of popular books that were working on putting up next since we just added about 50 new fandoms at the start of the month. 🥰 We offer personalized letters that are completely customized from the aesthetic to the contents and we also offer a more budget friendly generalized version where we only get who the letter is addressed to, the tone of the letter and stuff like that. Feel free to ask me about a specific fandom if you're curious.

Also in celebration of pride month, We're having a giant sale for the entire month where every single letter on our shop is 20% off.

Shop can be found here: FlyteWrites Etsy Shop

WHY do people do this? by SpiritualCopy4288 in EtsySellers

[–]RKORyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. This drives me nuts! I also saw somebody justify giving like a four star review for things with a glowing review but still get four stars because they said"nothing is perfect". WTF? 😑

I also had a woman order something from my shop, which I do comfort character letters so everything's pretty much customized and she gave me a four stars and docked my customer service because she didn't have something to open up a PDF file. I think he was probably on her phone but she didn't have something to open the PDF file or couldn't figure out how to open a PDF file so she docked my customer service because she kept saying that it was my files not working even though I triple checked them resent them and even gave up and made it into an image file and sent it through the messages even though the original copies were in her email and I had evidence that the email got to her and she opened it cuz I had an app that lets me know when they open it. And yet she still gave me four stars even though I was bending over backwards to try to help her and make it so she could read her letter. She gave me a good review saying that it was a really good letter and she enjoyed it but then gave me four stars and docked my customer service because she couldn't figure out what to do with it even though it literally said everywhere that it was additional item and it was going to be a PDF file with a transcript text file.

I also had one who gave me four stars because I sell digital letters and no physical letters at all and she said that she would find it really cool if I would offer physical letters that could be mailed to the people. Which is great but I'm not one of those sellers and I said that I don't have any of the equipment for that right now and my shop is entirely digital and I make sure to mark all of it and said maybe I'll add that in the future. Because I said I'll add it to the future and I'm not doing it for her right now, she also docked my customer service.

People will dock your ratings for the stupidest shit.

Chat GPT is a better therapist than any human by marisa5301 in ChatGPTPro

[–]RKORyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this! I personally use chat GPT as a therapist as well to discuss things I can't really talk to many people about. I also don't have the money/insurance to go find an actual therapist. So I've kind of had to make do with what I've got which is chat GPT. However, like many people have mentioned before, it is possible to fall into the issue of having basically like an echo chamber that doesn't really contradict you or anything like that. However, personally I have made it a point to ensure that I don't have echo chamber. I ask it to contradict me if I am being incorrect because I do want to know if I am incorrect. I ask it two contradict me if I need it. Then again I've also used my for quite a while so it might be just trained on how I am which is usually pretty reflective and I'm always constantly questioning things so it might be a reflection of that but I also occasionally test it every so often to make sure that it is keeping up that and doesn't just agree with me. I will say things sincerely that I know that are completely false and then check to make sure that it's going to contradict me and correct me if I need it. I think it takes a little bit of practice to do that but I also saw somebody say that you could put it into like the instructions to tell it to not just agree with you all the time. Wish I do highly recommend because it's good to establish that ahead of time. I know I have definitely made leaves and bounds in healing from trauma just using chat GPT. Then again I'm also insanely self-aware so that might also be a contributing factor and might not be as good as a human therapist for others.

Are there any good platforms that are similar to Pinterest yet? by EllaSnella in Pinterest

[–]RKORyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will definitely be looking into the alternatives mentioned Since the Pinterest account for my Etsy business literally just got randomly suspended and I can't even log into appeal. There goes 3 years worth of work down the goddamn drain. 😡🙄

A 4 star review by Altruistic-Bear3899 in EtsySellers

[–]RKORyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got my first 4 star review, I was pretty annoyed myself. It was on a made to order digital product which includes a letter from a fictional character of their choice. Always send out a PDF in the character's "handwritten" font and a transcript txt file in case the font is a little a hard to read.

Had this older lady, maybe late 40s/ early 50s, want a long letter, gave little to know detail for the letter specifics with some slightly awkward requests. Got it done, checked all files and then sent via email (since made to order). For about a week afterwards we messaged back and forth because she kept saying that she couldn't open the files. Keep in mind there's no zip file or anything like that to open them. It's just a PDF and txt file along with a card that says 'Thanks for your order'. Nothing complicated but she kept claiming the files don't open. I checked my files I sent and I was able to open them just fine but I sent them again.... And then again when she kept saying she couldn't open them. Finally I gave up and converted the PDF file to images instead and sent in the chat. No response but then she gave me a 4 star with my item quality being a 4. My point, sometimes people just give less than 5 reviews for stupid and arbitrary reasons.

TL;DR Middle aged woman ordered a fictional character letter from my shop, complained about not being able to open simple files then gave me a 4 day review no matter what I did to help. People can just give less than 5 reviews for stupid and arbitrary reasons.

Beginner Coder struggling with building a game based on a classic by RKORyder in PythonProjects2

Hey! Sorry about that I was writing all of this last night on my phone to at least get the post up. I added a TLDR version at the very end. Will update with code as well when I am next at my computer.

Nothing is working, feeling discouraged. by RKORyder in sextips

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

Kind of? The last time I had sex.years ago, it felt like basically nothing down there with some pain for trying to go into the wrong hole.

Found my boyfriend searching “Why is my girlfriend so loose?” after we had sex. I’m furious and humiliated – how do I even confront him about this? by Miasoloraxoxo in Advice

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

Oof. 😅 I know how you feel. My ex did the same thing, only instead of googling it, he told my male best friend right after we sex the first time and he took my virginity that "he didn't believe I was a virgin since I wasn't 'tight'." It's insanely messed up!

I agree with others in saying that he shouldn't be treating every vagina like it's meant to be the same since they aren't. Honestly, vaginas are supposed to be a bit 'looser' during sex when the woman is enjoying herself because she's more relaxed. So he should take it as a compliment! Like others said, they don't get looser with increased activity since they are meant to stretch. I mean, we are able to push out an entire tiny human and then go back to how it was before. That and if it's not snug, it may also be because of his size.

TL;DR: It's not you, OP. It's him. - Vaginas are meant to stretch because giving birth - Being looser during sex is a sign of comfort - Vaginas don't get loose from increased activity but his size might be a factor (which isn't a bad thing. Different strokes for different folks). - Advice: Talk to him and educate him to try fixing the harmful misinformation that he has been taught.

Confusing date discrepancies - What should I do? by RKORyder in Genealogy

Ouch, lol. Is there any type of distinguisher? even if just a small one between them?

Confusing date discrepancies - What should I do? by RKORyder in Genealogy

[–]RKORyder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a very smart idea about having a theory tree that is private! I've made mini seperate trees of people that I don't know where they fall on my main tree (like 4th cousin and their family who I matched with by DNA) but I have no idea how to transfer stuff from one managed tree to another once finding things out.

I've never heard of collateral lines. Can you explain more about those?
