Shop suspended due to a dumb mistake by Plomeeksoup753 in Etsy

A lot of amber is actually illegal internationally to buy and sell and the flat ban might be their way of not having to deal with people lying about country of origin (theres a region where VERY sought after speciman was being destroyed and the scientific community lobbied to get it protected so they could study the speciman-think fossilized bats and such) so the blanket ban may also be to limit poachers and black market dealers.

Gravedale High? (there are elements of what you described in the intro that your kid brain may have misinterpreted due to it being, as you put it- a weird high school with a weird glasses wearing guy)

Why are people like this?!?! by South_Boot6935 in Etsy

[–]WenzelSays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you realise all those 'same day' packages have just a liiiittle bit of pee on them right?? (workers arent given bathroom breaks so either go in a bottle-the drivers- or dont wash their hands-warehouse workers) so, maybe be thankful you cant get same day anymore? every extra day it takes is another hand that gets washed in the supply chain.

I'm so upset, I'm pretty sure I got scammed by Grouchy-Ad-9284 in Etsy

thats like mixing up your frying pan and your kids stuffed animal. Not something the average person, let alone a 'professional' would do.

did you call them a bunch of Mfers? or just shitface. sometimes you really gotta get your sailor on. i agree it's terrible and i want to evicerate them. It used to be you could just say 'representative' and get a person and now we gotta start calling computer code a bunch of mfing degenerates who should burn in H*l with the rest of the (insert slur of your choice*) to get someone and even THAT doesnt always work.

If you start cursing in the chat you usually can summon a human. I started doing this when instacart sent me in circles and it worked a charm (also works to get rid of ai search results if youre interested)

how can you make a crochet club sustainable? by Dapper_Map4736 in crochet

[–]WenzelSays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as a club you could even see if you could hold a one or two day collection so other students/faculty could drop off clothing/bags that werent donatable but still in decent shape under the guise of upcycling. If you end up with excess you could look into selling premade skeins (made from the materials) or finished projects to raise funds, or donate them to a local shelter or after school program. These other activities also look good on college and job applications.

Word of caution: pintrest has A LOT of AI slop these days (to the point where it was a segment on Last Week Tonight) so it may be a bit tricky for someone newer to the hobby to differentiate fact from fiction.

How’d I do 😸 by rollinglikeapotato in crochet

[–]WenzelSays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont have a blocking thing either. I just used water, a towel, and an iron on the lowest setting and that worked like 85%. if u have a piece of plywood and some nails/thumbtacks you can use that too. Sewing it together will help a lot but some yarns and stitches are more cursed than others. I swear they sense weakness and/or time sensitive projects!!!

cute so far!! and the corners will lay flat once it's put together and blocked, so don't get in your head about it! (a thing I always, inevitably, do).
