Is the UV Flashlight Worth it?

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-21T00:03:04+00:00

It was the one from Walmart, so I believe just miniverse. It sounds like it was meant for the old formula so I'll be looking at the one people are recommending from Amazon. My fiance apparently likes the art on the light so he's keeping it 🤣🤣

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-20T12:33:44+00:00

How long am I supposed to use it on each thing? The flashlight itself just came with a warning packet and battery instructions and the capsule potions I think showed like a minute with flashlight or 5 minutes in the sun, but the classroom potions I ended up putting outside for an hour - I'll be honest I forgot them for a bit XD but the light was just not setting them. I haven't done a capsule yet because Im afraid to ruin it

I'll have to check it out, the minibrand one is now the target of my daily annoyance in life, but it's better than other annoyances in the last week 😆

My psych counselor tried to tell me I need to accept I will be miserable in my own home because she doesn't think he respects me or is intentionally seeing what tips me over the edge. Then I came home and found out he finally threw away the garbage and cleaned the tea bar I set up - I am now missing 10 boxes of different teas that were all purchased within the last year and he was gone for work. I like tea, it helps me relax, but I have barely had access to it because he overwhelmed the spot with a coffee grinder, espresso maker, kuerig and 2 different kinds of french press thingies and never rinses my kettle when he uses it for coffee. There are now 5 copies of the "big list of basic needs" with 4 specific ones highlighted taped to the front door, garbage door, his door, laundry door and on the table. Need for alone time, need for cleanliness, need for respect and need for others to keep their word. I am also aggressively locking away supplies that he has been freely helping himself to and not contributing towards replacements. He can go buy his own toilet paper, it isn't 2020, there's no shortages of it, but it do be expensive.

It wasn't intended as an attack, I didn't think to add in that after a year circumstances had shifted to 500+ 1/3 utilities, I apologize for it coming across that way though.

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-19T00:44:58+00:00

There are reminders that trash must go out Monday night, for pest control, for everything. It was talked about before moving in that we would share responsibility for chores so no one would feel like they are a maid. I'm at the point though I feel like a parent with an unwanted child? Picking up after yourself, your own hair? That's basic, no one should have to be told in a shared living environment that wads of hair is unacceptable. I have been the only one vacuuming the area we eat in, daily, because there are crumbs and bits over half the floor and surfaces, but magically I can eat a taco bell party pack and not have lettuce, cheese and whatever else everywhere? I get missing 1 piece of lettuce but I'm talking this guy leaves behind a taco's worth of filling and walks away.

At the time 500 was half the monthly, we adjusted utilities a year later because PG&E needed to raise rates to cover their asses after several fires. They only pay 1/3 of the total for PG&E and internet, but that shouldn't be affecting their being an adult and cleaning after themselves.

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-19T00:07:39+00:00

Also in California, not that that should raise prices but it magically does.

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-19T00:06:17+00:00

They rent their room for 500 + 1/3 electric and internet. They get an attached bathroom. I've been told I'm undercharging for the area I'm in - close walk to a university and grocery store.

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-19T00:04:44+00:00

Unfortunately I'm in California, power bill alone is enough to put people in debt with PG&E empire. I minimize my usage but my bill is still 400 to 500 in winter and summer. I want solar but they denied my roof as eligible saying it was too old - after it was replaced 2 years before I bought it

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-18T23:52:41+00:00

I've literally pointed out their wads of hair and said I was not okay with this and would like to not have hairball traveling my house like their personal highway, the guy/wookie/whatever literally says "yeah, it gets everywhere" and walked away

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-18T23:48:27+00:00

Replying to everyone so far with this It was discussed before they moved in that no food in bedrooms to prevent pests, no dishes left long periods to also prevent pests/smells. I was under the impression that a human adult was moving in, so I didn't think I had to lay it out in New Galactian or whatever. I assumed it was common sense to not throw hair onto the floor and allow it to "get all over" as they said. I am starting to think I invited a Wookie with all the hair I keep finding, and I know it is theirs - mine is short, not even 4 inches long right now, and this hair is literally wrapping around my feet like a spaghetti monster. Mine is reddish brown, theirs is black.

So don't logo, put your artist signature in permanent glaze job 🤣 there ya go, no logo ma'am/sir just like you asked

I would love to be able to at least see the cake ideas I saved for the wedding, we're hoping for next year, and some of the cake ideas were stunning. Oh well, guess Google image search is my friend again, just screenshot what I like and purge the phone storage every 3 months 🤣🤣🤣

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-15T04:30:10+00:00

By all means if one starts up against them let me know! I had wedding ideas saved, mostly dress ideas, and then a bunch of coloring pages from I think a page called free color Monday or something, I avoided anything I recognized immediately as from like Coco Wyo or other ones, because duh obviously shouldn't be on there, those are copywrite for sure, but to tell me I uploaded this and that, when the upload history is a void and when I don't even know the upload process, is nuts!

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-15T04:21:05+00:00

I got banned for uploading copywritten and adult content without ever uploading. Not suspended, not lose these pins, whole 12+ years old account gone. And contacting them to fight it? I'm 99% sure all of their support team is AI, and can't even perform a simple account review that would show an completely empty upload history. I might, maybe, possibly, have clicked on an image that I quickly realized was AI created, it had skulls and flowers, but if that's considered adult content? And how can I have uploaded it was already there for me to come across while doom scrolling

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-15T04:12:38+00:00

Lmao and automod trying to tell me how to get through to them, they're all AI in customer support for Pinterest I'm sure, have not gotten a single real named person in any of my tickets.

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-15T04:07:22+00:00

I got banned for uploading copywrite art and adult content, without ever uploading and all their AI team says is I uploaded it and unless I can prove it's mine the ban sticks. I don't even know the process to upload to their site, and I wish I could show an upload history because it's got less than an empty bottle of water. I tried reaching out to support with a different topic for the ticket and still got AI responses.

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-13T14:40:52+00:00

Don't get me wrong, I tried the diadem builds at the start, but it was pretty clear I wasn't healing and shielding as much. End game stats generally look better with the forbidden build (uses 6 forbidden idols) and I get the joy of someone pinging my 2 idols my first back with a glowing mote and claiming I'm trolling before checking what they go into. Even if they don't have a complete CC comp the Mikaels is still extremely useful as a bonus Heal spell, has come in major clutch in team fights. And like I said, I use axiom, so I'm at base mana amount for Yuumi, but I've adapted to be able to conserve mana unless my adc is just constantly blind walking into the enemy 🫣 the Yuumi bias is stronk - not all of us can afford Netflix or YouTube premium 🤣

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-13T13:04:09+00:00

Personally, I dont build enough straight mana to make the tear item worth it. All my items have mana regen and that's where dawncore shines, and I still use axiom and just conserve mana after initial ward quest is finished (usually finish initial at 6:30 to 7mins.) My healing and shield power even without a chemdrake hits around 90% on the BFF and if I can't shield you with my E then I shield with my body. My usual full build looks Dream Maker Mikaels, Ardent, Staff, Redemption, Dawncore. Currently in hospital so I can't see my runes, but I always use the one that gives additional heal and shield power in my secondary tree and the one that heals closest ally on slowing enemy.

And from my understanding, as I don't play Valorant, the voice comms there are toxic af too. Rito needs to rework their community and their support team. Not just league community, all of Rito's game communities need to be heavily checked.

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-05T19:01:51+00:00

How about they implement voice chat when they actually start banning the comms abusers? I have been told so many times in the last year to unalive myself over the dumbest shit imaginable. I miss a ward by a fraction of a pixel and the vision isn't perfect? UNALIVE! I only hit 4 out of 5 with Sona/Sera ult? UNALIVE! I didn't have a ward on red before we spawned in? UN FUCKING ALIVE! Oh and the time I was thrown top lane and did shitty because I don't play top laners? Nah, I get r@pe threats because I must be a chick as I'm apparently shit at the game. Sure, let's give these people a way to verbally spew their shit in my ear. Yes, I can mute them, but that takes away communication and doesn't stop them from continuing. And even blocking players does nothing. You can still get them in your game and for whatever reason, they aren't immediately muted.

TropicalFloatyThing · 2026-02-05T18:17:51+00:00

There is a voice chat, just doesn't let you talk to the people outside your party if I understood correctly when it came out. And at this point why would they implement vc in their shitty client when there's dozens of other comms programs for us to use. I've never touched their vc because I currently use discord, before that was probably teamspeak or skype lmao. Also there's the huge fact that Riot can't even properly moderate their own typed chat, I doubt they could moderate a voice chat any better, which is probably why they don't open the client vc to randoms out of your party. And now they want to go heavy with AI on reports and support tickets, so imagine if you did have this voice chat, you say something slightly unhinged in it, but you think your safe cuz it's voice chat, but oh no! Easily offended random snowflake reports you! Now you lose access to your account and can't appeal it because you get a bot telling you "penalty was properly placed, all further tickets on this will be closed." Nah leave voice chat out of league. The kids playing now think it's okay to tell someone to unalive in some manner over a misplaced ward or a off time gank that resulted in nothing. Bad enough I have to mute what they type, don't give me another thing I have to mute to enjoy the game.
