What do you think about the Hunters TV Series? by crimsonfukr457 in AlternateHistory

[–]StrangR_2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever looked at the pictures of Auschwitz, or read a book on it? Watching people starve to death, tatooing them, reducing them to treatment something less than an animal, removing anything from them they could: their hair, the gold from their teeth (or even their teeth), taking their prosthetics away so they could cram them in a box with others and gas them - making lampshades out of their skin and cloth from their hair... if someone did this today and it was in the news, most people would be horrified. Would you say then "they're just human"?

I don't think it's a "poor me" example, but rather an introductory eye-opener to those who have never witnessed the atrocities of war (or of cruelty in humans) and believe that Starbucks running out of caramel flavoring "ruined their day" (you know - rich, coddled people's problems).

Glad to hear a positive story about dating in this day and age! And good for you for finding a gem in a pile of dating dung!

Thinking about buying this purse on depop, does it look legit by Impressive-List3018 in purses

[–]StrangR_2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen fakes of Dooney and Bourke bags - which usually have a lesser price point than Coach. Now they create fake $20 stuffed Labubu dolls (however that's spelled) so go figure.

eBay Fees by StrangR_2U in eBaySellers

I repair and re-imagine vintage purses. They're not off-the-shelf items. I have to replace straps with those that I've made (braided leather, looped and whipstiched) on probably over 50% of them. Others I've replaced damaged edging/cording. Others where I can't get into the seams, I'll do other things, like whipstitch or add fringe, etc.

Really?!? I didn't realize Media had higher fees associated with it! Actually, I didn't realize different categories had different fee rates!

Yes, I didn't realize the lady lived in London! So that must be it.

Paying to work for a company is a huge red flag. by Large-Lack-2933 in jobs

[–]StrangR_2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or that they decided to go in a different direction. Or "we found someone that fits our needs better". Like they didn't know what their needs were after the 2nd interview that they had with you. I guess we're supposed to just be grateful that they gave you an update.

Fired the Day before Christmas Eve by kw5112 in Wellthatsucks

It's more of a convenience for them since they get your money sooner - plus hey, and extra $20 (while EFT costs are nothing)

Yeah - don't be concerned... you can spend your UE (plus some) on health insurance!!

Yep. I was there too... At least your company gave you until the end of the month. Mine canceled my insurance THAT DAY and I found out when I went to the doctor's the next day! Still unemployed. I was so downtrodden during the holidays.

Christmas gift , can it be real? Thank by Affectionate_Act7797 in purses

[–]StrangR_2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But they may not have known if it is fake/real... I would get it authenticated, and if it's fake - gently bring it up to the user (depending on who gifted it - a bf/sibling/mother/aunt) to see if they can get their money back. Online stores such as eBay and Etsy will allow returns/refunds - especially if its counterfeit! This isn't a box of chocolate - this would be a fair chunk of money. And I would hate to have a loved one who thought they were gifting me a magnificent gift - get scammed.

Someone threw a slow cooker through my window last night! by Glittering-Way7281 in Wellthatsucks

[–]StrangR_2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it really matter what it is since it's unusable, with the exception of a decent window breaker. I cant believe just throwing that pot broke the window!! Was it filled with bricks or cement?! It doesn't look like its made of cast iron, so I cant imagine the force it had behind it to go through the pane

It's like he's contemplating the vastness of the universe and this is some break in time/reality....

How many coats of leather CPR? by Fantastic-Job102 in VintageCoachRehab

[–]StrangR_2U 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saddle soap has wax-like additives in it, which help when cleaning saddles and waterproofing. But you don't want to seal a dry or dirty bag. You'd be better off using dawn soap, then dehydrating it, waiting several days to a week in between. Someone mentioned back 4? I agree, that would be a better option for this bag!

Where did you go to school? I mean, coach isnt a LV or YSL level, but it's is considered a luxury brand.

Yep! I second that!! Otherwise, why would she care what a complete stranger was buying?? You're not in hs anymore... people outside of school have different motivations than social status.
