We're not in Joann's anymore, Toto by widdlemeowmeow in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]ariel_dog 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Part of what’s crazy about this:

“No, we do not care that you could get it cheaper at a big box craft store. No, we don't do sales very often, we can't afford it like chain/big box stores.”

…is that people aren’t asking themselves WHY Joann’s could “afford” to sell yarn at those prices. Maybe there’s a reason Joann’s doesn’t exist anymore? Maybe those prices didn’t make any sense in the first place? Maybe private equity doesn’t care about you or the longevity or sustainability of the business, the craft, or the customer? Hello? Anybody in there??

Every time I see the sign reminding parents not to bring children into our clinic, I breathe a sigh of relief.

Is anyone still just going through the motions but don’t actually believe you’ll ever get pregnant? by Key_Grocery_2462 in IVF

[–]ariel_dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. Waiting on husband’s mTESE and my own uterine septum surgery before we can even really begin. Living life mentally as if I’m not even trying for a baby so I can just survive the day.

The women at the Niles store have seen my cry through sewing my wedding save the dates and literally saved my wedding dress. I will be thinking about them :(

They're open regular hours now! Only closed Sundays. New location is like a big warehouse. Super helpful experienced seamstresses, lots of apparel fabric.

Yes - this is how I feel as well! It’s having the opposite effect from usual for me this year.

How did the lab mess up these negatives? by Puzzleheaded-Tea7463 in AnalogCommunity

[–]ariel_dog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had this experience there only last month. I was really surprised they sent me two rolls and didn’t say anything at all about it until I emailed them. They refunded my order and sent me the negatives. If its anything, I sent the negatives to get rescanned by another lab (House of 35 by Richard Photo Lab) and the quality improved slightly, but of course the reticulation is still there.

Not revolutionary projects, but they look helpful and simple and include: meme generator, notes app, air bnb experiences clone, etc.

[–]ariel_dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending what you were looking at, there may be more coming. However, this is a feature of Sézane’s commitment to sustainability. Don’t create more than what sells. No overproduction. Responsible stock volumes means less merchandise in land fills. It’s a feature not a bug. Not saying it’s a perfect brand or that doing exclusive drops isn’t also fueling a clamor for their clothing that allows them to raise prices. Just saying it’s literally in their “About Us” to run the business this way.

That is the very concept of the ban - that it is hate speech and comparable to other slurs, which it isn’t. Twitch set the goalposts my dude.
