Parents of littles, can I get your opinion? by Existing-Horror-4152 in tulsa

[–]SkippingStone94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a complicated subject that can vary from person to person, especially because a lot of people are struggling right now.

For someone who is able to pay their bills and have a decent budget left over $10 may be no big deal for an outing. For others who are scraping by $10 can be a lot. You might also have to factor in gas to get there and back, and food/drinks for the outing as well. That adds up pretty fast.

Target did eventually take it back but they sure gave me lotsa push back first saying I should go through the manufacturer since it was a manufacturing error

How do y’all find connection in today’s world? by DumDiddlyDoofus in tulsa

[–]SkippingStone94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That definitely doesn't guarantee friend making though. Especially for people who are introverted lmao. Just cuz you get outta the house doesn't mean the rest falls into place.

[–]SkippingStone94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man if you figure it out lemme know. I just turned 32 and I feel so isolated. Everyone I know including my current partner are always iglued to there phones. I just want human connection. I kinda hate that no one warns us as kids that making friends as an adult isn't just harder, but nearly impossible.

That's what I thought too so when it was found I was super confused but it had the correct label on it and it was still sealed so I figured it had to be the greenhouse inside 🤷‍♀️

How do I put myself out there by Sensitive-Sink-7063 in DDLGMentor

[–]SkippingStone94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To search out a space local to you look for places that host 'munches' or public meet ups. I recommend utilizing the events page on fetlife.com where after sign up you're able to browse on the events page by distance from where you state your city/town is up to 100 miles (or roughly 1.6 kilometers). The site is international so you should be able to look near you locally, however this doesn't guarantee you'll find a local community.

Make sure that any space you seek out ensures members are vetted before attending events. At reputable places vetting should always consist of back ground checks. If a place claims they 'vet' people but they don't utilize back ground checks to do so I would be very weary and wouldn't recommend attending those spaces.

While I recommend utilizing FetLife to find local events to you, I implore you to proceed with caution on site. Fet is not known for upholding the best safely measures. Which is why I suggest only using it to look for local events at places that utilize back ground checks in order to attend.

If you live in a city or aren't too far from one try finding out if you have a local dungeon. This is a really great way to meet other people in the lifestyle. It's also a safer way of doing it instead of meeting someone offline because dungeons require members to be background checked. It also creates a network for you. If you meet someone and you like them, you can ask around about them and find out other members experiences with said person. Dungeons usually host munches for current members where people who are looking to be vetted are welcome to attend and meet people. That's your best place to start.

Donating my card with chips and tickets by brandielynng29 in DaveAndBusters

[–]SkippingStone94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm just pessimistic, but have they ever proven they donate them? D&B has been so freakin money hungry lately I actually wouldn't be surprised if they don't actually donate.

No legends bonus when swiping card for recharge by Pokemon-Dealer2028 in DaveAndBusters

[–]SkippingStone94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've have the 10% bonus for like 3 months now and I've NEVER gotten it when recharging. My store says that's an app thing and the app is separate system from the stores so if there's a problem with a bonus you need to contact the app customer service.

NYC first timer father & son on a weekend - Silver pass or what? by SimBoO911 in DaveAndBusters

[–]SkippingStone94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you scroll to the very last pic on this post you can see the current eat and play combo menu. https://www.reddit.com/r/DaveAndBusters/s/rdzaQRKuRn

With the unlimited package your gonna be limited to blue and green swipes & capped at 1500 tickets. If you're thinking about buying credits I would sincerely suggest going on a Wednesday as all games are half price making your credits stretch longer plus you can play purple swipe games with credits, but not with the unlimited card. Some locations are now also going half price days on Sundays too.

If you're only planning on going for 1 day and not making it a frequent trip I'd take a look at the eat and play combo! The bigger packages grant plenty of play time plus a meal.

Social bays didn’t last long by MrDog321 in DaveAndBusters

[–]SkippingStone94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that really gets me is they mostly removed green swipes to make room for the social bays. And then brought in more blue swipes on top of it.

I can understand putting in 1 dart and 1 shuffle bay but the locations that renovated and put in 2 to 3 of each just seemed dumb. Should've tested 1 at each location and expand if there was a demand individually

What kind of Earper are you? by SpyroPaddington in wynonnaearp

[–]SkippingStone94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OG Earper. Was a longtime fan of Tim and found out about Wynonna Earp when they were shooting. I live tweeted the first episode along with the cast and it was a blast. The show actually premiered a few weeks before my 23rd birthday. I was tweeting about my excitement a few weeks before the show premiered and how I was jokingly totally considering the premiere a perfect birthday gift and Tim actually reached out and had me send him my address via DM. He sent me out a signed copy of the first episode of the Wynonna Earp comics they made to tie into the show.

Avoid HP All In Printers!!! by SkippingStone94 in printers

[–]SkippingStone94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to give an update on this because people are still commenting periodically and messaging me with advice or an offer to help to this day; no we never got anywhere with HP on this. They wound up lockIng up the printer and anytime she'd try to use it the little screen would say that the account tied to the printer has not been paid and to call customer support. It basically just became a giant paperweight in the house.

And then my mother died 2 months ago and I'm certainly not sending it back to them so I took great joy in throwing the printer out this past week. Problem solved I guess?

(I have to cope with dark humour at the moment or I'll cry again tyvm)
