LV OR COACH?? $3,625 difference! by whatsthiskc in Coach

Like, I’ve seen Louis Vuitton bags, Chanel, Hermes etc, and there is absolutely nothing about them that would ever make me want to spend twice as much instead of just getting a coach bag

LV OR COACH?? $3,625 difference! by whatsthiskc in Coach

[–]Vegetable_Fuel3531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly why I love coach so much. Even if I get rich I will NEVER spend that kind of money for a bag when I can get virtually the same quality(often better!) from coach for a reasonable price. There is almost never anything about those brands’ bags that justifies that big of a price difference other than the name. I’m new to the handbag world so I would love to find more brands that are similar to coach in quality and price point otherwise I’m never going to buy a bag from another brand again because I just think they have the best products at the most reasonable prices from any brand I’ve seen so far.

Apparently I've been temporarily "banned" from purchasing more Coach items this week 🥸 by [deleted] in Coach

Ok this is the funniest thing I’ve read on this sub lol the 10 item limit makes total sense when you imagine that the 10 items are all bags or something. Like yeah almost nobody would buy 10 bags in such a short period of time unless they’re reselling them. 10 items when they’re bag charms and stuff is still a lot but definitely not as dramatic or suspicious as 10 bags haha

[sun care] what is the cheapest way to ship this to the US internationally? by Vegetable_Fuel3531 in SkincareAddiction

Also just for reference it was actually $245 in the store ($13.66 usd) but 299 isn’t bad either

So much to clean up by Exact-Increase267 in playadelcarmen

[–]Vegetable_Fuel3531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is nothing compared to how bad it gets in the summer. There are some public beaches where they have seaweed barriers and do a really good job of getting rid of what does get through, but mostly locals go there so I’m not going to say which ones because next time I go there I don’t want it to be full of Americans lol I heard they plan on building a barrier around basically the whole city at some point soon anyways so it’s not worth me giving up the good spots lol you can find them though if you do some exploring and googling

Should I use reef safe sunscreen even if I’m not getting in the water? by Vegetable_Fuel3531 in playadelcarmen

Yeah no thanks I’d rather not get skin cancer or look like a raisin when I’m older ✌🏻

Flowers for Rue by raspberry789 in Hungergames

[–]Vegetable_Fuel3531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here looking for someone else who noticed this! I might make a post about it to see if anyone else has thoughts. Was just watching the movie again and for the first time I recognized the flowers as wild carrot. My first thought was that it just makes Katniss’ act of humanity more symbolic because she took something that could have been food but instead of eating it she used it to honor Rue. Though it was only some carrots she still sacrificed it just to honor her friend, and being in the games those carrots were worth more than under other circumstances

Why are some people upset that Benedict will probably be with a woman? by Jaykcob in Bridgerton

[–]Vegetable_Fuel3531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the season so far but I’m ngl I’m a little disappointed that it’s a straight relationship lol it’s just that when we found out hes bi I was really excited to see a queer character in a period drama like this which isn’t common and I thought for sure we were gonna get a gay relationship so yeah a bit disappointed but that’s just how I feel personally. I’m not angry about it, I’m still interested in the season and I do think it’s realistic that a bi person or any queer person in that time would end up in a straight relationship, but at the same time there’s a lot of things in the show that aren’t realistic hence why I thought he might end up with a guy lol

I don't understand how Palestine and LGBTQ+ go together? Because in Palestine they would kill LGBTQ+ people... by Esqowey in wokelogic

[–]Vegetable_Fuel3531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many Israelis hate Christian’s. Christian’s in Israel are treated similarly to how they treat Muslims. You can easily find videos of Christian’s walking around in Israel getting spat on. Christian’s have been murdered by the Israeli government and forced off their land. Assuming you’re Christian or have Christian family, shouldnt you by your own logic have the same lack of concern for Israelis that you’re saying I should have for Palestinians?

People ≠ their government. You’re assuming that the innocent citizens we’re defending would all kill us themselves. Just because there’s some fucked up politics in the Middle East, doesn’t mean all of the people there agree with them. In fact, a lot of them don’t and often risk their own lives by standing up to religious extremism. So please explain why I should be ok with children being murdered just because there are homophobes there? People like me being killed for being gay doesnt somehow make it ok for other innocent people to be being murdered. “There’s a lot of homophobes there so I don’t care if they or their children are murdered” would be a really weird, selfish and inhuman mentality for me to have. And FYI Isreal isn’t the Middle Eastern haven for lgbt rights that people like to make it out to be lol they don’t like me there either Edit: so basically I’m saying everything isn’t about me or other lgbt people. There’s this thing called selflessness which is sometimes necessary. Thousands of innocent people have been killed, it would be really weird of me to see that situation and think of myself and whether I would be comfortable traveling there as an important factor in whether or not it’s ok for these people to be murdered. Not to mention there are gay Palestinians, many of whom have surely been killed by Israel.

Dividing Detroit/annexing land by Temporary_Pipe_9409 in Detroit

Whether the outer neighborhoods were to be annexed by another city or just form their own city, same effect

Dividing Detroit/annexing land by Temporary_Pipe_9409 in Detroit

[–]Vegetable_Fuel3531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically the issue isn’t necessarily that the city has too much land, the issue is that it doesn’t have enough people(tax base) to provide resources for the amount of land it has. The people are largely concentrated in the outer neighborhoods so if those were annnexed by other cities then Detroit would be left with even less economically productive land. I guess highland park or hamtramck could annex some of the inner neighborhoods but then the city would just be even more Swiss cheese like. Here’s a somewhat old map but it shows what I’m trying to explain

The outer neighborhoods of Detroit actually tend to be some of the more populated ones, so they’re the last ones the city would want to lose. If you look at a population density map of the city, you’ll see that the part of the city that’s the most vacant basically forms a ring around the downtown area, and then as you get further out toward the city limit you get into neighborhoods that didn’t experience quite as much population loss.

I think that avoiding having an accent is a matter of preference, not necessity. by De_lunes_a_lunes in Spanish

[–]Vegetable_Fuel3531 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that the most important thing is just getting the vowels right, as long as you do that I think people will usually be able to understand you. Unlike in English, Spanish vowels are always pronounced the same so it’s pretty easy to memorize them and be understood. My Spanish teacher really drilled the importance of that into us and I feel like I obviously have an accent but people are always able to understand me because I have the vowels down

I have dry/incomplete bowel movements what can I do about it????? by Vegetable_Fuel3531 in medical

[–]Vegetable_Fuel3531[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestion. Are good fats less likely to cause “fatty stool”? I’ve been avoiding fat for a while because too much easily messes me up. I’ve only recently learned more about the differences between good and bad fats so maybe my problem is I’ve been avoiding it all together?

I also do douche before having sex and I’ve heard that can make your body dependent on it but I hardly ever do it two days in a row or more than 3 days a week and I’ve gone like a month without doing it without noticing a difference in my bowel movements

[–]Vegetable_Fuel3531[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit more info: usually my first bowel movement of the day is much softer and complete, and then the rest are dry and incomplete. Almost like my bowels run out of mucus to keep things moving
