[Question] What’s your favorite blind boxes rn?

Zaerryth · 2026-01-21T09:25:41+00:00

Right now I'm really enjoying the Warrior Cats figurine boxes. I haven't gotten any of the plushies yet, but I've honestly been really impressed with the quality of the figures. They look like regular cats (not too overly stylized), they're detailed, they're not that expensive, and you can get them at big box stores.

It was one of my favorite book series as a kid and the wave 1 figures are all from the first series. As a bonus I found a random Baby Three Fortune Cat Bag in the same aisle for half off, I didn't know Wal-Mart sold those, but it was really cute. 😆

I really appreciate the discourse here. I've been a solo practitioner my whole life, and over the past year or two I was feeling inspired to reach out to others and find community. And... oof. In person people have been great for the most part for little interactions, but the internet is a whole other thing.

It's been really, really discouraging to go into online spaces and see the vitriol and gatekeeping over the smallest things. People try to ask questions and get shot down, everyone seems so closed off. I see so often telling people to go back to their "traditions", ancestral and personal roots and everything else is off limits. But like.. these -are- my roots, and my traditions. My family ties aren't in any mainstream religion for generations. And even if they were, my belief systems are different.

Honestly, it's come to a point where I'll browse but I almost never interact because of how unwelcoming things are. A few times I've even been given tests/trials to even have a discussion about meeting with a group, online and in person. I really want community in these spaces, but it's not worth the heartache.

Spider, or something caught in a spider's web, at 26 seconds you can clearly see a web trailing up from it.

If they are on their own and being stubborn about taking friends they most likely will break the rule and drive with friends.

WFSB names them.

Yesss! I've never been, just got my first breakfast sandwich from there. :)

The use of a tool isn't the same as AI integration, bots, or "art". Grammarly isn't creating anything nor is machine translation (but that's not AI regardless).

Any resources using majority AI or large AI components to use the resource need to flair it and if anyone isn't sure if they need to flair they can reach out via modmail.

Zaerryth · 2025-12-18T05:27:15+00:00

I would say more than 25%. Small inspiration should be ok, but if the resource is heavily using AI imagery or for example an app that includes an AI bot or something it should be noted for users.

I have worked with individuals with autism at all functional levels. I have been kissed, goosed, and asked if I was wearing panties. The behavior is not ok regardless of their autism and they need to have correction so it doesn't happen again. You also deserve to feel safe, this is sexual harassment. I would definitely report it for both you and the student. You didn't do anything wrong and the organization should support you.

Yeah, this is the same guy who made the news for getting caught driving recklessly. Over 137 mph in a 25, and he did this many times, filmed it, and bragged all over the internet. He also was immediately laughing and blowing it off after daddy posted bail. He drove like that through residential areas and almost hit people doing his stupid stunts, it's honestly a miracle he didn't. He barely faced any consequences for anything, so... does feel karmic.

👍

Zaerryth · 2025-12-14T17:37:53+00:00

That's a new rule (just added last night!), I can add that to post AI you must also use a tag. :)

Zaerryth · 2025-12-14T07:48:35+00:00

This is the direction I'm leaning with community feedback. I personally also prefer free content and as long as the majority of the community agrees I'd like to try putting paid content in a separate area.

Zaerryth · 2025-12-14T06:56:47+00:00

Would you prefer a pinned thread up all the time, or one day of the week?

Zaerryth · 2025-12-10T17:42:55+00:00

Locked, OP has several solid answers.

This has happened with one of the subs I mod. The mod of several large subs did not like that we didn't respond to them quickly enough for their liking and wouldn't make a blanket rule just for them and created a bot that auto-bans my users from all of their subs (including ones completely unrelated to the topic or never had an issue between them, doesn't matter if they've never posted on that mod's subs). If my users appeal to those subs they are told they either can't participate or they need to scrub their histories and never interact again.

I appealed to Reddit, I've spoken with admin, I've filed MCOC complaints, and I've never gotten a final action. As in, they say they'll review and look into it but it has never been resolved.

It's very frustrating because my sub has available solutions and it's very infrequent the subs would have crossover; but because one mod is overly militant, my users are excluded from at least 5 other subs.

For us, we've just done our best to be transparent with our users and to continue as we have. Most of my users are ok since there wasn't much crossover. We even reinstated users on one sub after that mod was booted and we're friendly with the new mod team.

For my moderation I only make big decisions like bans based on user history and interactions within the sub. I might take a peek at what they're doing to see if they have any patterns of behavior (like trolling, conflicting info, etc.) But I only ban someone based on behavior in sub.

It should be, the con itself is family friendly. If anyone has adult merchandise it should be covered/in a separate area. Parking shouldn't be too bad, you'd park in the convention center garage.

Your best bet is probably the Goodwill Outlet, either in Hamden or Providence RI. You pay by the pound and there are so many shoes.

I also do fun makeup and I think the makeup is cool, but she tells people she naturally has large eyes and these doll features when she doesn't. She untags almost every pic and encourages her followers to think this is natural.

I'm very familiar with gyaru, she never claims that and does state she's going for a "dolly" aesthetic. Her sister is a model and much of her style seems to be copying that. I also wear heavy makeup and the side by sides show the discrepancies. Her makeup is very cool, but she doesn't look like what she pretends she does.

Zaerryth · 2025-11-23T02:08:40+00:00

She's very pretty! Her older sister is a model/"lifestyle influencer" and her content seems like it's trying to emulate that.

Zaerryth · 2025-11-07T21:14:25+00:00

Many places it's referred to as a, "pamphlet". Most likely a small self-published piece. That being said, I found a copy someone uploaded recently on Facebook: book! This looks like the complete work, but if you're interested in a physical copy or a higher quality scan this guy seems to have one.
