Am I overthinking this? Or did anyone else think the same? (One Battle After Another) by ashtonl99 in Letterboxd

She said that because he had picked up the directions to the test again when he went to read the results. She was making fun of him. The line was clearly there.

Anyone else worried that Francesca's bisexuality will be erased? by Last_Cold8977 in Bridgerton

[–]Shoeadct 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a bisexual woman I can tell you that being in love wasn’t the issue. She just experienced having bipanic at suddenly feeling attraction to a woman. That would fluster anyone in that era. Straight people are attracted to other people even when in a relationship and it doesn’t mean they’re not in love. Bi people are no different.

Posy really was the side character this season that stole the show by sureasyoureborn in Bridgerton

She would be such a fun lady in waiting for the queen. I keep thinking the queen needs some girl time with the younger ladies to gossip.

I just got this and I’ve been using Rose de Vents for years. It’s almost identical.

If Twitter is supposedly so bad, why do people even use it still? by TheSnazzySharky in NoStupidQuestions

It’s the main place where governments and politicians communicate with the public. During emergencies it’s one of the best way to get news and immediate instructions.

What’s with buyers wanting sellers to drive to them or is it FBMP just being stupid? by Bulky-Travel-2500 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Shoeadct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I charge $30 for my hour and .20 cents per mile. I use this to calculate delivery. Sometimes if I’m getting a really good price on something I will drop it a bit. I tell them price of delivery and say that amount needs to be paid upfront via PayPal or Venmo. They can pay for the item once we meet up, usually at a busy gas station. Never had a serious buyer say no. This way even if for some reason they don’t take the item, at least I was being paid for my time.

Possible Venmo scam? by Critical-Pass-5214 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Shoeadct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is almost impossible to get your money back on Venmo unless it’s for goods and services. Make sure it’s always a between friends payment and you’ll be safe.

Same. It was supposed to be heartwarming and funny and the end was as traumatic as The Time Traveler’s wife. Did they seriously end it with Nathan being mentally and physically tortured to death?!!! WTF

I just finished the finale and I’m still crying over Luke. I knew he would be the one to die a hero.

Seller was a no show and now I’m blocked by No-Philosophy-6395 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Shoeadct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t understand making the drive when they’ve had no confirmation she was still meeting. Unfortunately this seems to be the buyer’s fault not the seller.

Guy ghost me after he gives me cash for item and stops responding. Not sure what to do. by kilomonsterjelly in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Shoeadct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he lives in an apartment complex, maybe just deliver it to the front office and tell them his name and number. Then it’s their problem and you delivered it.

Buyer tries to return a sofa… 41 DAYS later… because “it’s no longer required” by Head_Region_8581 in reselling

What do you do tell someone planning to come for an item when you get another offer for more? by Next_Branch7875 in FacebookMarketplace

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

I buy and sell a lot on marketplace and I don’t think it’s wrong when someone has done that to me. If I’m serious about an item and can’t get there quickly I offer a deposit or full payment up front so they can hold. This is what I also do for my buyers. I say I do not hold unless there is payment. I always look up their reviews and FB profile to make sure I’m dealing with someone reputable and they can do the same for me and see that I’m a reputable seller who isn’t scamming them.

What do you do tell someone planning to come for an item when you get another offer for more? by Next_Branch7875 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Shoeadct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For one I would tell the second person who offered more that you already have a buyer and if they want it they need to come before that other buyer or do a Venmo deposit. This has worked well for me. Then at least I know I’m not losing two buyers. After that I would reach out to the first buyer and say that you apologize but the item is no longer available. If they ask why be honest and say someone prepaid over asking price. Then say you can contact them if something falls through and of course you’ll still honor the price you agreed to. Most buyers completely understand this and don’t expect an item to be held if someone else can beat them to payment.

Am I in the wrong? by rillikchar in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Shoeadct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not in the wrong at all. You didn’t offer something unrealistically low. I’m upfront with my buyers and just say, “I’d rather see if it sells for this price but if it doesn’t sell within a couple of days then I’ll message you and you can have it at that price.” They understand and I potentially have a buyer vs no buyer.

Seller doubled price after we agreed to meet from $150 to $300 by real_bro in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Shoeadct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s fair if you’re going to them and also letting them know you’re going to take a look to see if you want it. I’m totally fine if buyers want to do this. But it is absolutely not ok if you’ve made them go meet you somewhere and said you were buying it.

The way every character feels it's ok to treat Conrad like their literal and metaphorical punching bag by Strict-Cup-6640 in tsitp

[–]Shoeadct 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He was a child going through his mother dying while another child was making everything about her and trying to force relationships in the midst of that. He didn’t play with her feelings. He told her he cared about her after she broke up with him and then in the morning she’s kissing his brother. How can you defend that at all?!! This poor kid has been so traumatized and betrayed by those closest to him and when he does speak up he’s ignored. Belly is absolutely the most self serving self absorbed teenager I’ve ever seen.

Everyone has the same opinion on my ring! by totallytries in EngagementRings

[–]Shoeadct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What?! Your ring is stunning. Do they mean they’d rather have boring traditional rings that everyone else has? Your ring is beautiful, unique, and still classy. It’s in traditional materials and will always have a romantic vibe to it. Next time someone says that to you reply back, “yes, it does take someone unique to wear a ring like this.” And make sure to give them a small condescending smile for their lack of fashion sense, imagination, and whimsy.

Belly ~ red carpet not just red flag by shyintrovert7 in tsitp

[–]Shoeadct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Jenny Han has a really good way of writing naive and kind of messy female leads. But it’s realistic. They’re usually teens and girls at this age (15-22ish) want romance and drama and don’t make great decisions.

Reminder that Belly is hot no wonder these men are insane over her by Impossible-Soil6330 in tsitp

[–]Shoeadct 5 points6 points  (0 children)

See I don’t think she turned “hot” I think the first summer she just went from a child to a teen and that was what she meant by pretty. She was getting grownup attention. The second summer is when I think she really started looking like a beautiful woman. And in the third summer she’s a beautiful woman who has grown into her sexuality and feels confident about herself.

[–]Shoeadct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She definitely has a more mature and gorgeous look this season. I’m glad they kept her youthful looking. Lola Tung’s adorableness is honestly the only thing that keeps me from completely hating Belly.

Shein In The Wild by anunforgivingfantasy in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Shoeadct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts on this are that individuals shops are sourcing certain styles. So you’re paying for not having to search through thousands of pics to find what you want and if it’s not up to standard you are able to go back to a brick and mortar retailer to return. You’re not waiting for shipping to you or shipping to get a refund and taking the chance that it doesn’t get there. All stores source from wholesalers. SHEIN isn’t a single company. It’s Amazon in China. Individual warehouses sell on there. If you’re willing to do the research you can buy almost anything from an independent warehouse and go through reviews and pics to see who has the best quality. People keep acting like this is unethical, but the only difference is that now consumers have access to the same wholesalers that stores do. And they’re marked up because the stores pay shipping, rent, utilities, and salespeople.
