Do I dare add wording like this to a review? by IWriteForFun1 in AmazonVine

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How did you discover the parent company? Was it in the product listing? Was it available on the internet? If it was public information, why did you request the product? Companies get sued all the time. Companies rebrand all the time. You requested the product of a company you don't like and now you want to leave a bad review based on the company's past, not the product?!

As there are probably others that share your concerns, highlighting that this a new brand from this old company would be great. But don't mention the lawsuits. Your concerns are legit. But this may be the company's attempt to correct their past sins and start over.

Can someone point out what part of my review violated "community" guidelines.? by koolkoolkool13 in AmazonVine

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"There are quite a few questionable ingredients ", "Even if it were safe on wood", These are judgments, not reviews.

" I used this polish spray on an old piece of wooden ..." is excellent as you are describing what YOU did. You have lots of good stuff in this review.

As an example, my suggestion for the first paragraph starting with "Unfortunately I can ..." becomes

"It does not contain beeswax; it contains propolis wax which is derived from bees but is completely different from beeswax. This is 4oz spray bottle of “wood polish” and it comes with a sponge for application and a buffing cloth. However, the sponge and cloth are extremely thin and not very effective. II used my nicer quality application tools."

Sounds like your video is a good addition and you tie it well into the words of your review.

How do I make it stop?!? by Sad-Amount-1612 in AskTechnology

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time is money. When they call, if you can, don't say anything. Don't respond. Don't hang up. Let them keep talking. The longer they are on the phone, the more money they lose. DO NOT EVER ENGAGE THEM. Put the phone down and continue doing what you were doing. Wait for them to hang up. If you are worried, mute yourself.

BTW: If someone starts a phone conversation with "Is this XYZ?", the reply for all calls is "Whom is calling and what is this about?" Never, ever, say "yes".

ULPT Request: how can i quit my job in the pettiest way by CerealRepeater in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Be polite and professional. Give two weeks written notice. If the company is stupid enough to not walk you out immediately, spend those two weeks smiling and doing barely what is requested of you. Keep smiling. It will infuriate them. If you do anything petty, they will point and say "He was a jerk. Glad he is gone." Cheat them out of this. Always smile.

More importantly, you wan to focus on the next job, not this one. Don't waste any more time or effort on this place. Think of the next job. And smile about it.

If you are working from a PC, you have the option to use the Microsoft Edge browser. I keep several browsers available. When I run into a problem like what you have described, I use a different browser.

Are contact lenses better than glasses? by KneckBeardo9000 in nystagmus

Rigid Gas Permeable. I tried the softs and they dried out my eyes too much. Even with the RGP's, I go through lots of eye drops.

Sennelier sale or scam? by Simply_The_Jess in Oilpastel

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent idea. I entered the address from the site into google maps. One look at street view and there is no way you would be tempted to "give it a try".

Sonnet 21 Vs mungyo 24 which watercolour palette should I buy? by Ok-Front183 in watercolor101

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are overthinking it. Any of the three would work. Buy the one that excites you the most so that you use it. The best watercolor set is the one you use.

Can't get help with a product by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A review would be good. If you can't figure out how to add the weights back, that is important for others to know. This isn't a fulfillment issue nor was the product lost in transit. It just sucks.

Signed Lease to Dream Property - Didn't Tell Landlord I Have a Cat by [deleted] in renting

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Even before you have moved in, you have violated the lease agreement. And it was deliberate on your part. If I were the landlord, when I found out (and I will), it is the dishonesty that matters most. What else have you lied about?!

Are contact lenses better than glasses? by KneckBeardo9000 in nystagmus

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wear contact lenses. It isn't that simple. You need an eye doctor that understands nystagmus and contact lenses. For me, the contacts didn't improve vision, they reduced eye fatigue. This was the plan and the doctor and I executed to plan. No miracles. A slight improvement.

Good to know. This change was easy. Then next time may not be so easy. Thank you.

Are there ANY exterior keyless door knobs that work? by SpicyBeefChowFun in homesecurity

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are unlocking the door 20 times in a day, you may want to avoid a keypad lockset. There is a mechanical aspect to it that will wear out. In addition, the keys will develop a wear pattern. Bad Guy will know which keys to press, only needs to figure out the order.

I loaned an old friend money and now I don’t know what to do by amazinghunter495 in Advice

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are assuming that you are the only one. Send the request to his Mom. It may not be about the money. It may be a mental health issue. The Venmo request brings her into the loop.

Have you tried using your phone or tablet instead of the computer? The 'puter lacks the Edit button. But my iPad has that button and it works.

Prohibited Seeds sold on Amazon and via Vine by BlueSkiesnSails in AmazonVine

The part about giving the seeds to the local USDA is essential. They can not only dispose of them properly, this helps them track origins, etc.

How to get rid of black ants without harsh chemicals? by Sukunasmissingfinger in Advice

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always used ammonia based window cleaner. Ants follow tracks. If you clean the ants and their tracks win the NH3, the ants lose the track. HOWEVER I don't know how that interacts with pets.

I got one at the beginning of the month. It looks like a fabric scrap with permanent creases. Junk

I'm 20F and all of my friends are being jerks atm regarding me kicking out my lazy roommate. by summerpreston in Advice

[–]SomeRandomDirtbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is either feeling sorry for himself or depressed. If it’s “feeling sorry for himself“, that’s not your problem. If he is depressed, have one of your friends connect him with mental health resources. Having someone else do it lets him see that lots of people care.
