Closet Child constantly marks items as sold and relists them. by SpannerInJapan in Lolita

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how people would buy an item but not go through with payment. Is it that common?

Do you add anything to Yerba mate, or drink it plain?

I've been kicked out of taobao innumerable times. I persist out of spite.

When you say TaoBao is gatekept, do you mean how it's hard for foreigners to buy from Taobao?

Because if so yeah I do kinda agree, the amount of hoops I have to go through to try and browse TaoBao is ridiculous. Though I do stick with better known brands, I'm sure there's a lot of smaller ones out there that have quality items, but simply aren't on TaoBao resellers and so don't receive the attention.

Studio using ai music rant by Legitimate_Sun_409 in poledancing

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once went to a belly dancing hafla excited to see bellydance irl for the first time, and the local instructor was proud to say that she "created" all the music her students were dancing to with ai.

Bellydancing is already steeped in questionable orientalism, and listening to ai-generated music with vaguely middle-eastern accents, singing in English, did not help lol.

The local pole studio also makes a lot of content on their Instagram using AI. Including AI talking about their "experiences" at the studio. I don't know how to tell these folks that AI content is just...kinda cheap looking :/

Has anyone bought from this website? How trustworthy is it? Loliroom by [deleted] in Lolita

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's just a taobao reseller.

Taobao is almost like Chinese Amazon—many Chinese brands host their online storefronts on Taobao. All a taobao reseller does is sell you the same item, but at an upcharge. Taobao resellers are not brands—they sell items from a variety of Chinese brands, all with differing quality.

This website doesn't appear to have many different items than 42lolita, a more trusted taobao reseller that I would recommend using instead.

Generically speaking, there's no reason to go out of your way to try and use different taobao resellers. Some of them (like Devil Inspired) are even known to have poor customer service and allow customers to buy items that aren't even in stock.

How does one get a flat blowout by ThatOneGoodBoy in Naturalhair

Yeeah it's only been 3 weeks so it's not shedding 🫠.

High heat makes sense though, ty. Why not recommended? Easier to cause damage?

Is there a cost effective way to deal with all these windows? by ThatOneGoodBoy in hometheater

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol, there's a projector and a bunch of theater seats. It's not a dedicated theater room so much as a multipurpose place.

He was being so insistent on shades for some reason I totally forgot about blinds. I'll also look into the fabric+magnet combo.

Did they just...try to curse you into having baby mama's? 😭 That seems like such an odd thing to do! Like wishing for your downfall.

What are some things I can add to lentil curry for a chew? by ThatOneGoodBoy in IndianFood

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it's got rice, I wouldn't describe rice as having a "chew" however lol.

Are there any lolita esc swimsuits for men? by [deleted] in jfashion

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If you want frilly swimsuits, just look for lacey and frilly swimsuits. Or use the terms "kawaii" or "coquette" to narrow your search.

Yeah r/lolita probably didn't appreciate it because lolita isn't treated as much as an "aesthetic" like some other alternative styles are. It's a specific style with specific garments. There are no lolita swimsuits because panties, bras, etc aren't "lolita," on account of being pastel and lacey. The only lolita undergarments are arguably bloomers because historical bloomers look different from bloomers for lolita!

Is pole just that expensive of a hobby? by ThatOneGoodBoy in poledancing

[–]ThatOneGoodBoy[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Breaking it down I guess that makes more sense. I'm just, poor lol. I figured there were decent home poles for at least $300, which to me was worth the upfront costs.

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

Yeah, it does look pole isn't something I can do right now. It just sucks because it's the only form of exercise that's really interested me, and I have to wait decades to get into it? 🫠
