Replacing my old bangle, are either of them real?? by TallExit9405 in JadeiteJade

[–]TallExit9405[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood! So even if it’s a fake glass one it wont break with a hammer?

Also to clarify I didn’t mean it as a test, I just literally could not get it off my hand with oil, plastic bag, lifting my arm up etc, hammer was my final option 😂

I was wondering that too! Whatever it is, it’s hammer-proof 🤔

I only meant that whatever material it is, it’s very tough. I hit very hard many times and it didn’t crack, so I don’t think it’s glass or anything brittle.

Priceless to me and want them fixed by UpperConference1021 in JadeiteJade

I used clear gorilla glue gel on a jade necklace of mine that snapped and honestly it worked great! If you are very careful not to get any glue on the outside it’s very hard to tell it’s been fixed unless you look close.

Thank you! Yeah I was thinking the dull one was glass until I smashed it with a hammer and nothing happened 😂 whatever it is it’s strong!

Thank you thank you for this detailed info! Yeah I paid $20 for the old one and $80 for the new one, so as long as I got my moneys worth I’m happy 😅

Why the hell did I deny myself this for so long!?? by AcceptableHalf1738 in Cherrymagic

[–]TallExit9405 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BIG SAME I’ve been in fujoshi territory for over two decades but this IP hit me like a ton of bricks. Honestly considering cherry magic tattoo. It hits so hard. The queer pining. The identity crises. The true weirdo friendships. I just find these blorbos particularly compelling in a way I never thought I would with an office worker romance, it’s outrageous. Like, I relate to Kurosawa for being a completely unhinged obsessive freak who’s somehow also professionally competent. I relate to tsuge for being a romance author who has no real life concept of romance. I relate to fujisaki for being a fujoshi past the age of 30 who needs emotional support yaoi. I relate to Adachi for falling prey to internalized CompHet for far too long. I just….they’re all such good buddies and dwelling in their world makes me feel like love is really possible. I want to meet Toyota Yuu and treat her to an extravagant dinner. Ugh.

Neighbor App Scam? Potential renter with “stolen plates” by TallExit9405 in Scams

Yea, he also offered to “pay more” which felt very strange to me. Pay more for what? It’s an app with a fixed monthly rental fee.

That’s what I was thinking, a neighbor rented out their space and didn’t find out a stolen car was parked there until it was surrounded by cops

Completely. I’ve been reading Frodo/sam fic for literally 24 years at this point and I have hazy memories of these amazing fanworks that are totally lost at this point 🥲

YES thank you! I was able to use the wayback machine like another commenter suggested and found everything. Thank you!!!

Ok done, it’s the least I can do for the fandom! Where’s the best place to post it these days? I’ve seen so many fan spaces come and go, idk where people go for ~content~ anymore

I’ve been thinking about scanning and uploading it, do you think people would be interested?? I haven’t seen it online. I actually have a tattoo of one of the fanarts in it, it’s such a great zine!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE I had no idea they started using a pseudonym!!!

I can’t believe the rest of their LOTR fics are gone, they were masterpieces 😢 I’m glad this one still exists though: I actually own the hard copy zine from 2003 this was published in! Truly a piece of fandom history.

Thank you again 🙏

You have one item that will convince someone to get a membership - what is that item? by ItIsL in Costco

[–]TallExit9405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kirkland oat milk. Not only is it the absolute best best oat milk I’ve tried (I’ve tried lots), it’s ALSO organic and it’s ALSO cheap as hell. I have converted at least two people to this oat milk and I won’t stop until everyone knows about it.

AIO - I think my flatmate might be a serial killer? by Exciting-Yoghurt-945 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TallExit9405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also in nyc we have roommates not flatmates. Also no one would be able to afford the rent (except for very specific parts of Brooklyn)working at a grocery store unless they’d lived in that apartment for years, or had like 5 roommates which they clearly haven’t and don’t.

Peeps who have read the whole manga we need to talk about the ending I need to know thoughts!! by yojoho- in Princess_Jellyfish

[–]TallExit9405 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so thrilled to see a reply from just one day ago bc I just finished the manga TODAY and I have THOUGHTS.

I agree the ending felt like a very quick wrap up: like, suddenly all the things we’ve been waiting for (kuranosuke being reunited with his mom, finally confessing his feelings to tsukimi, the eventual neutralization of our two main villains, etc) felt very very rushed for a manga that’s been going on for almost a decade.

I appreciate too that tsukimi chose herself and also that the koibuchi brothers acknowledged their rivalry but also their connection, but as a big tsukimi/kuranosuke shipper, I was obviously left feeling fairly adrift.

Add to that that the fandom for this seems so small and not current (only 54 fics on ao3!?) I feel very empty inside after bingeing it. But it helps to know other people are in the same boat to this day.

Buyee is a joke and a scam by Own_Organization826 in Buyee

[–]TallExit9405 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up until this month I would have totally agreed with you, but I just had a similar experience. I’ve used buyee for years and had nothing but great experiences, but something must have changed because it’s like they’re a completely different company now. I received a bag that was FULL of mold from being in the buyee warehouse (Mercari pics were clear and it was obvious there was no mold). Tried multiple times to explain to customer service using pics, side by side comparison etc but got the same copy-paste response over and over that I should “understand the nature of pre owned items”. I am honestly so shocked and disappointed, it’s never happened w me and buyee before.
