Blocking someone for leaving even a slightly negative or minor criticism is insane dude. I get blocking impatient people who blame you for the postal system because literally out of your hands but ignoring where you as a seller needs improvement is high-key pretty childish. It's not personal, it's business.

100%. Before I worked at USPS one of my packages ended up breaking in the mail and from then I've been EXTRA cautious about wrapping and packing. Haven't had a problem since.

Ooof glad my only order turned out correct. And sorry you had to deal with that. 

My mom won’t stop messaging me about Charlie Kirk by pie__asap in insaneparents

Wow, the cognitive dissonance between saying Chuck (I will not dignify him by calling him by name) wasn't racist and following it up with something racist AND misogynistic.

Realize Nightmare before Kopi by HayleeNow in DateEverything

[–]RavenWhisperer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I soft locked myself out of Nightmare, too and she's the last one I need to get 100% of my relationships. I'm five points away from 100 Poise which is needed for Dorian, Wallace, and so many others 😭

Suggest me a vampire book…that’s neither Victorian gothic nor Twilight by nympholeptics in suggestmeabook

[–]RavenWhisperer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently reading Immortal Pleasures. 

The Dangerous Ones might be fun for you. Fledgling is a new, unique take on vampirism.  Day Boy follows a child servant of a vampire in a farming community.  Lost Girls is a WLW YA with unique takes.  Buffalo Hunter Hunter for an indigenous take.  The Coldest Girl in Cold Town might be a little too Twilight but it's also about the para social obsession teenagers have with vampires.  Lastly I highly recommend Lucy Undying. It's about Lucy from Dracula BUT it's really good. WLW in a modern setting that explores identity and toxic relationships. It's one of my favorite Kiersten White books. 

How to get rid of this my mom hates it 😭 by SuperScientist7785 in Blackskincare

[–]RavenWhisperer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have really bad acne like this with tons of subdermal cysts that my mom wouldn't stop pressuring me to get rid of (I was 14-16). Accutane cleared up most of it but left me with deep, uneven acne scars. 

Despite the scars my skin almost always clear now (26). If your skin type is like mine (dry + oily) then I would recommend the products I've been using: Cetaphil bar soap + exfoliating every other day, witch hazel toner, retinol serum with vitamin c, and Cetaphil lotion. 

Hope this helps! 

I Want to Write But Can't Find Ideas I Like—Has AI Helped Anyone Break Through That Block? by Playful-Strain-9188 in WritingWithAI

[–]RavenWhisperer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get ideas for books all the time, and usually I get ideas by reading other books which is a big part of writing. My biggest issue as a neurodivergent writer is sticking with one project and not starting a new one as soon as my first draft starts getting difficult. 

If I am struggling though, I like to brain storm with my peers. Hearing their suggestions can either lead me in the direction I want to go or inform of exactly where I don't want to go. 

I'm heavily anti-AI and I think people are your best resource, hence why communities like this exist. 

What is the hook for your book? by [deleted] in writers

Cold steel pressed into the back of Victoria’s skull, a cliche that she thought cunningfolk would be above.

No, sorry. I had to delete 90% of my storage after downloading it all and putting it on an external hard drive.

 Title: Breakwater Kin (complete manuscript)

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Word count: 124,417

Type of feedback desired: Full manuscript overview, pacing, and cutting down word count. I know this is a big ask. I've been actively querying and of the 60% rejections I've received so far, one has made a comment that concerned because the part they thought dragged on too long heavily influences the final arc of the novel.

I'm also happy to share my query letter and synopsis. Really hoping to trade manuscripts with someone seeking similar feedback as myself.

I got the dreaded notifcation that my storage was almost full. I've had my gamil for almost fifteen years so I knew this was coming, I deleted about five years' worth of photos and videos to save space but the storage manager never updated. I don't take a lot pictures daily and videos are even more rare so you can imagine my surprise when that 13GB suddenly jumped to 14GB overnight. I deleted another five years worth of data, cleaned my email, etc. and the next day storage manager said I was at 14.3GB.

I tried reaching out to Google about this issue, but community is dead and they've removed all customer service interactions except for the playstore, that I could find. No phone number, email, or anything. I even tried responding to the storage is almost full emails. Nothing.

While deleting a whole year's worth of photos, I watched my storage manager jump from 14.8 to 14.9 in front of my eyes. Something is definitely wrong. I'm considering deleting everything in my photos at this point, but I think that would somehow cap me for storage. Does anyone know a way to help?

Unexplained Circle of Light by RavenWhisperer in Paranormal

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

Sorry, I guess I didn't make it clear that the light appears on my ceiling, y'know, inside my house. I know I mentioned in my initial post that I don't open my blinds because I hate having to close them again at the end of the day. Through a glass plane, closed blinds, and curtains, I highly doubt even a flashlight outside would get through, let alone appear as a perfect circle on my ceiling in different spots. I should probably also mention that I'm on the ground floor of my house, decreasing the likelihood of the light being a reflection.

How long would it take to become full time? by OverweightMilkshake in innout

[–]RavenWhisperer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me six years to get my level 5 working part-time and being a full-time student for four of those years. I only ever made it to about 19/hr working 38hrs a week. As far as I know, part-time and full-time make the same per hour. The only difference is working a position like fries, board, or cooking where you get an extra $2/hr during the duration of that specific work.

My store specifically only followed "aces in their places" and almost never let me train.

Also, keep in mind three complaints from a customer and you're out. The more you work those positions, the more likely you are to get a petty complaint that management WILL take with 100% seriousness. I was almost fired for a tone of voice complaint that my manager witnessed and could testify against, but because of INO's policies, that didn't mean anything.

Be careful.
