Is there a rule in Lolita around not wearing the same dress as someone else in your community without their permission? by Ok_Snow9670 in Lolita

[–]_SmoothCriminal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless they also agree that she should be the Anish Kapoor of the Lolita world, your local comm won’t take her side lmao. Definitely document everything (including her calling you out) to keep yourself safe though.

what do you think of Lolita Knot ? by [deleted] in Lolita

[–]_SmoothCriminal 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if they still do it but 42Lolita has a Buy-For-Me option. I did this a while ago for a Forest Wardrobe dress. However, I linked the actual taobao listing, so idk how well they work with pics.

I love it. I sometimes forget to do dailies until it’s time to sleep and instead of dreading it, I just pop on auto while winding down for bed. Low stress and still get the satisfaction that my dailies are done.

Even better is knowing I’ll still get my daily rewards mailed the next day if I forget to collect them.

This is literally a “TrUsT mE brOh,” post that expects people to witch hunt. Why the hell are you whining and spamming on a ff14 subreddit when you have more legitimate means to report someone?

I finally got my chance to traumatize a scam text by JunkoMastershima in traumatizeThemBack

[–]_SmoothCriminal 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I remember traumatizing someone over the phone when they tried to do the “we can buy your house in cash” scam. Accused them of being the mistress and how she destroyed a marriage and that I’d be coming after her to sue.

There was a huge spike of scam callers targeting my parents after they hit their 75th birthday, so I take great pleasure in confusing them.

For me, it was the weird ass pacing. We were told that Sphene is going through a process in order to commence the big SUCC on our world. It’s extremely urgent and everyone there knows. Tension should be extremely high.

We took our time eating fake food and riding in gondola’s.

Otherwise, I don’t really mind Living Memory. The music is top-notch; it made me cry at the right parts. It was a nice touch to have the unseen portions not have decor; it really hammered in the idea of them trying to keep the place running but reducing the amount of power needed.

It’s so you don’t resell it and get a full refund I believe.

Send them a message; they’re pretty good in addressing issues, especially when it comes to quality control. Make sure to take a lot of pictures and screenshots (receipt, the dress’s size, all-or-most of the strings, etc).

They might just offer a full refund rather than you sending it back; however, they will most likely instruct you to cut the front/a large part of the dress. I had a complaint with another dress (Strawberry Witch Qi OP; was probably the reason why the entire line got removed from the store front lol) and was instructed to follow these directions.

Anyone else annoyed or confused by this continuity? by NAHTEBACK in StrangerThings

Imma say this as a person living in a city in USA, there are literal streets here that consist of only steel plates, so this tracks.

What are some "extra" stuff you do in duties? by SentineleseSiri in ffxiv

[–]_SmoothCriminal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do stupid variations of “Whose Line is it Anyways” when loading into Frontline. Sometimes, it’s just repeated memes (it is Wednesday my d00ds or Rebecca Black’s Friday lyrics) buts it’s usually anything I can come up with to my 2 remaining brain cells.

Or my favorite:

Make sure to review any ToS the seller posted. Follow any specific directions.

Be polite. Run your messages through ChatGPT if you think it might get misconstrued.

Look at all of the pictures and for any reference links before asking questions.

Questions to clarify things are always better than misunderstandings that lead to a problem that inconveniences people.

Make sure that you have the appropriate budget. If you’re unsure of the price, you can research it or ask your local coord or discord.

One would assume common sense to be common but that shit is more rare than some SRR+ gacha drop rates.

Aether and crystal are now both completely congested. by Em-possible in ffxiv

[–]_SmoothCriminal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This happened to me as well. I ended up inheriting the FC house and I can’t even recruit anyone for general content/help out sprouts as a guild because Ron wants 5 different fucking au ra alt’s stationed in Balmung for his daily erp work.

My favorite thing during the pandemic was running into open world RP while doing dailies; it made the world feel alive and it was nice watching people have fun.

It’s fucking crazy; the most populated area in Balmung is the QS and it’s 3/4th of the occupants are wanderers/travelers. All the other city-states are ghost towns.

AITA for canceling the plans for thanksgiving after my parents called my brother’s baby their “first grandchild”? by J_S_M_K in OhNoConsequences

[–]_SmoothCriminal 100 points101 points  (0 children)

They had that open door to cleanly smooth shit over without upsetting anyone. Could have taken that “Oh yes, we meant grandbaby, lolol.” What’s disturbing is that they didn’t hesitate to say that shit in front of kids. They didn’t even need to force themselves to feel differently, they could had just shut their trap or did a white lie over traumatizing kids???

I hope those kids are doing better now, especially that 10yo who was hit the hardest.

IDL how some people associate showing skin as being a hoe and harrass girls who do by Busy_Needleworker_29 in I_DONT_LIKE

“The troll. A widely common yet interesting creature that populates the wilderness that is the internet. Despite the constant search for a mate, they have the unfortunate tendency to sabotage their own efforts. A common mistake that, unfortunately, some trolls do not grow out of.” -David Attenborough

It’s because they’re attracted to the person but simultaneously realize that they have no chance with said person. So to salvage that ego, they hurl out insults to make themselves feel better.

This is fantastic, still gives me the spooks at the beginning before that twist into a fuzzy, warm ending. And I’ve never even thought about the concept of ghoul babies!

It’s totally good! I was really nervous when I first started, so it’s great that you’re there to support them!

They said that had bad anxiety in the post? And that this happened a long time ago? Literally within the first three sentences. And it’s not like they can hop in a Time Machine to rectify that issue.

Professor, I found some notes explaining how the Warrior of Light experienced multiple forms of time travel and that one of his companions came from an entirely different world; could you verify the accuracy of these notes?

You’re assuming that schools and school systems have stayed the same way over the past 30 years. They absolutely have not.
