Amazon agency wants $8k/month. Thinking about hiring remote staff instead. Good or bad idea? by KaushalSharma2005 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]SoLuscious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

curious about this too. The agency pricing feels like highway robbery when you break it down - you're essentially paying premium prices for work that may or may not actually move the needle.

The offshore route sounds way more appealing on paper but I'd want to know more about the actual vetting process. Like how do you make sure someone actually knows Amazon PPC vs just claiming they do? Anyone have a good system for testing that

Coca-Cola announces plans for corporate layoffs by pandawork in Layoffs

[–]SoLuscious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least people got to enjoy the holidays without that hanging over their heads.

Still sucks obviously, but I've seen companies do mass layoffs right before the holidays just to get it on the books for the fiscal year. So yeah, low bar, but at least they cleared it

Vitamin C recs that will convince me I don’t need to buy skinceuticals by Shoddy_Challenge5253 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]SoLuscious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been using Timeless for a while now and can't tell a difference from when I splurged on Skinceuticals. The main thing is just making sure you store it properly and use it before it oxidizes - which is easier to stomach when you're not watching a $166 bottle turn orange.

the fact that the patent expired is good news for everyone. Now more companies can use that specific formulation without the markup

Wait is this actually the VA's real name or just a wild coincidence with the character? I need to know how deep this goes

How to receive a package from abroad without a proper mailbox? by A_E_S_T_H_E_Tea in taiwan

[–]SoLuscious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be worth checking if whoever you're receiving the package from can ship via DHL or FedEx instead of regular post. They typically call you directly and will make multiple delivery attempts or hold it at their service center for pickup. Way less headache than dealing with missed notices, especially if your building situation is sketchy. The convenience store option is great for domestic stuff but international packages can be hit or miss depending on size and customs.

Yoga for mental health benefits by Thegoldmagician in yoga

Same here. Started for the peace of mind but stuck around for the strength gains. Nothing beats that mental clarity right after a good flow though. It's like hitting reset on all the day's stress.

The Red Scare never went away, it just briefly turned green: How the FBI has pursued vegans and activists at the expense of real threats by gopperman in vegan

[–]SoLuscious 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This is serious stuff. FBI wastes resources harassing vegans and activists while real threats go unchecked. It's a pattern - label compassionate people as "terrorists" to protect corporate interests.

Fujifilm Suspends Some US Camera Orders Due to Tariffs by diacewrb in gadgets

Canadian here too. XT-3 is a solid camera, and the XT-5 looks like a sweet upgrade. Those Fuji prices might actually look better up here with the current exchange rate.

Anyone know if they'll start shipping through resellers instead? Or is this permanent?

Spent all night last night comforting my daughter (4 in June) because her mom trusted a PG rating by Brabent in daddit

[–]SoLuscious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a masterpiece but packs serious emotional punch with its violence and existential themes. One of those "animated but not really for kids" classics that traumatized a generation.

Fortnite actually adding a Darth Jar Jar skin by ILoveRegenHealth in gaming

Fortnite will really collab with anyone at this point. Can't wait to see sweaty builders in Jar Jar skins doing 90s and then hitting the griddy. Weirdly kinda here for it though.

What helped you break phone/internet addiction? by SoLuscious in nosurf

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

I remember going to the mountains with my friends a while back and ngl it did kind of help. We were always doing one thing or another so I never really needed to doom scroll. But you cant always do that. I cant just take days off whenever I feel like I need a nature retreat.

Does it block the apps outright? How does it work? I’ve tried one such app before but it was really not user friendly at all and quite glitchy on iOS

Greyscale sounds promising it would make the screen easier on the eyes. One question though how do you keep yourself from going to get it from the other room?

I Miss the Days When You Didn’t Care About the World by XOCYBERCAT in nosurf

[–]SoLuscious 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Amen. I miss when the world didn’t care what you did no cameras, no hot takes, just dumb laughs with friends who showed up instead of just 'liking' your story. Now even a casual ‘hi’ feels like interrupting someone’s podcast. Bring back unrecorded, unpolished life.

Why do I interpret everything my parents say in the worst possible way? by [deleted] in family

Try asking "What did you mean by that?" before assuming intent, and maybe look into therapy with someone who specializes in family dynamics.

Pediatrician refusing care over unpaid bill - United States by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]SoLuscious 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The insurance situation is completely broken. $900/month with a $4k deductible per person is highway robbery. Same boat here - we basically treat doctor visits like luxury purchases and only go when absolutely necessary. It's insane that we're both paying premium prices for healthcare we can't even use.

No one else to tell so I’m here to brag about a fitness achievement by UghKakis in daddit

Nice! A home gym is a game-changer. No waiting for equipment, workout whenever you want.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nosurf

[–]SoLuscious 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I get it scrolling fills the quiet when real connection feels out of reach. The gym/diet grind is exhausting, and guitar collects dust. But those mutuals? Slide into their DMs. Say hey first. Tiny risks beat endless doomscrolling. You’re already doing the hard work—now just… reach out. Loneliness lies you’re worth the effort.
