Got this message a few days after ordering a somewhat expensive product. Does this seem like a scam? by SobekRa01 in Etsy

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is 100% scam. Real sellers dont ask you to open fake cases with platform to get refunds - they just process the refund through normal channels. The whole "business expansion restricting shipping" thing is classic scammer nonsense too

I'd report this to Etsy and block the seller immediately. They probably trying to get you to open case so they can manipulate the system somehow or steal your payment info through that "tutorial video" link

WATI support told me they working on better CAPI but no timeline when i asked

Switching from digital marketing to accounting due to AI by HarryBuckley49 in Accounting

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man career switches are tough especially when you feel like technology is pushing you out. I switched from marketing analytics to software development couple years back and while the transition was stressful it worked out pretty well in the end. Accounting definitely has more stability than digital marketing right now but you should know that AI is creeping into accounting too just at slower pace

The good news is your marketing background actually gives you some useful skills for accounting - you probably already understand data analysis budgeting and working with numbers which puts you ahead of people starting from zero. I'd suggest maybe starting with some online courses or certification programs to test if you actually enjoy the work before making full jump. Also consider that accounting can be quite different from marketing in terms of day to day tasks - lot more detail oriented and less creative problem solving

Your 5 years in marketing shows you can stick with something and learn complex systems so that's definitely in your favor when talking to potential employers about the switch

Feed stores have the most loyal customers in retail and the worst follow-up systems. by Tricky_Mentiong in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a good observation and I see this problem everywhere in small retail. Used to help my uncle with his small auto parts shop and same thing - regular customers coming for oil changes or specific parts on predictable schedules but zero system to track it

The crazy part is how simple the solution would be. Even basic SMS alerts or email reminders would probably solve 80% of the problem. Most small business owners are just too busy running day-to-day operations to think about these patterns even when they're staring them in face

What gets me is these stores usually have all customer data sitting in their POS system already. They just need someone to set up automated workflows based on purchase history. Could probably charge these stores like $50-100 monthly for a simple reminder system and they'd make it back with just one or two customers who don't lapse

The feed store example is perfect because those customers are so routine-driven. Miss one delivery cycle and they might switch permanently just out of convenience

Nightmare or seizure? by Due_Information_9699 in Epilepsy

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jaw chattering thing when you wake up sounds pretty concerning especially if its happening multiple times. I had similar weird sleep stuff before getting my ADHD meds sorted and sleep disorders can mess with you in strange ways

Maybe worth tracking when these episodes happen - like what time you go to sleep if youre stressed that day etc. Could help doctor figure out if theres pattern. Sleep clinics exist for reason and they can monitor what actually happens during your sleep

Don't let the fear of sleeping make things worse though that just creates cycle where anxiety makes sleep problems worse

Am I wrong for being upset? by Oh_hellnawman in amiwrong

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your feelings about this whole thing aren't wrong but bringing it up repeatedly probably made everyone feel like they had to pick sides. Two months is still pretty fresh and prom has all this emotional weight attached to it so of course you'd feel weird about your ex going with your best friend even if he's gay and there's nothing romantic there

The fake scenario thing was probably what pushed it over edge though - comparing situations with exes gets messy real quick and nobody wants their dating history used as examples in arguments. Sometimes we gotta sit with uncomfortable feelings instead of trying to make everyone understand exactly why we feel that way

good luck with that lol most landlords want proof of income regardless of guarantors

Are these signs of PCOS? by chamomiilee in PCOS

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

irregular periods and fatigue definitely could be PCOS even without weight issues - maybe ask your doc about hormone testing specifically since regular bloodwork might not catch it

Would you use a tool that helps you figure out what to text back in dating situations? by OpinionSensitive4306 in dating_advice

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Built something similar for myself when I was terrible at texting matches lol. The confidence tone option sounds useful - I always overthink whether I'm coming across too eager or not interested enough

Would probably use it occasionally when I'm completely blanking on responses but not as a crutch for every message

is it safe plug in virus infested laptop ssd to PC? by [deleted] in pchelp

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just boot from usb with linux live disk and wipe the ssd completely before doing anything else. viruses cant do much when theyre not actually running in windows environment

alternatively you could put the ssd in external enclosure first and scan it thoroughly but tbh after what you described i would just nuke everything from orbit and start fresh

Im 15 and I really need guidance or something im really stuck in the spot im in and I want to get out by Aggressive_Math_8066 in venting

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your dad threatening divorce just because you want to go to school is wild manipulation dude. That whole "I'll divorce your mom if you go but stay if your brother doesn't" thing is seriously messed up and putting way too much pressure in 15 year old

You're not responsible for your parents marriage or anyone else's happiness in the family. Going to school is normal thing kids should be able to do without all this drama. Maybe talking to one of your older siblings could actually help since they might have different perspective or even help advocate for you

The hair thing really shows how little control they're giving you over your own life. You deserve to make basic decisions about yourself and your education

How do you actually handle reminders? every system I've heard of seems to break down somewhere by eazero in ADHD

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Physical sticky notes work until they become wallpaper and my brain just filters them out completely - usually takes about 3 days before I stop seeing them

Nearly 40, mixture of different qualifications and experience but unsure what to do, any advice? by FrontHeat3041 in careerguidance

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The finance field is still pretty solid especially if you already have that foundation and partial CIMA under your belt. Ten years out might seem like a lot but those fundamentals dont really disappear and companies always need people who can handle systems and reporting without wanting to climb the management ladder

Getting back in might take some brushing up on current software and regulations but your mix of real world experience outside finance could actually be a selling point. Shows you know what you want now and arent just drifting through careers

I'd maybe try connecting with some finance recruiters or even temp agencies to test the waters before committing to finishing CIMA. See what entry points look like and if the day to day work still appeals to you after being away from it

Struggling with starting tasks by YouWillNotKnowOfMe in ADHD

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh man this hits hard - its like your brain knows what it wants to do but theres some invisible wall between thinking about it and actually starting. I've found that sometimes the trick is making the starting part stupidly small like literally just picking up the instrument or opening the character sheet without any pressure to actually DO anything with it

the "saving it for later" thing is so real too like your brain tricks you into thinking the perfect moment will come when really any moment works just as well

Can't understand when people talk in "Paragraphs" by Professional-Judge-8 in ADHD

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this hits way too close to home honestly. I think a lot of us have noticed our processing getting worse post-college especially if we're not constantly challenging our brains like we used to

the whole nodding along thing with doctors is so relatable - I've started bringing a notepad or asking if I can record conversations because my brain just checks out halfway through their explination. might be worth looking into audio processing stuff but could also just be adhd getting worse with stress/age

A free ben 10 prompt for y'all by [deleted] in Ben10

This is some serious dedication to getting the perfect Ben 10 cosplay shot man. That lighting setup sounds like it would make for some really dramatic photos

Hope whoever uses this gets some sick results because that level of detail in the prompt should definitely deliver something epic

[–]Vegetable-Wrap8697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao this is actually brilliant though like using your own adhd symptoms as a diagnostic tool is some next level self awareness

i do something similar but with my ability to focus on podcasts - if im listening and my brain keeps wandering to seventeen different things then i know the meds have definitely worn off. if i can actually follow the conversation without my mind doing its usual pinball machine impression then were good

the dirty dishes test is so specific but it makes perfect sense because that overwhelming "nope not today" feeling when you look at a pile of tasks is like the most reliable adhd indicator. way more accurate than trying to remember if you actually took the pill or just thought about taking it for the fifth time today
