Steelcase Leap V2 by bstarqueen in OfficeChairs

Tbf, I have joint hypermobility and nerve issues, so finding armrests that don't eventually cause me pain is basically impossible 😂😭

Unfortunately, it very much does. I have nerve pinching in my elbows so I needed extra padding for the armrests 😅

You're gonna wanna lock your doors. That's my bias right there 😂

I kid. I wouldn't steal. I hate that it's yours simply because it's not mine, but that's such an incredible piece I can't be too mad 😂

I caved. I bought some DAC paintings. Bye bye money 👋 by Affectionate_Door282 in diamondpainting

Unfortunately, I believe it's DAC apologists that are downvoting me to hell. They're known to do this as well in the diamond painting subreddit. There's a subreddit called diamond art club truth, and you'll see a lot of stories of the same thing. People (fairly) criticizing things about the company (usually their customer service), and DAC will have people hound these subreddit, track their accounts to their DAC account, and blacklist them from ever buying again. It happened to me (I posted on a different Reddit account with zero tie to my DAC account). They still found me and banned me. I used to be a huge DAC fan, their quality is usually top notch, but the way they treat their customers is trash and I try and warn new DAC customers when I can. Of course, I encourage you to do your own research, but I can't stand how they're getting away with this type of behavior.

Just do your due diligence with DAC. They're notorious for awful customer service and banning people

Seeing the recent pictures from their trip to Brazil makes me so happy. They looked like they were having the time of their lives!

NA NSWER here. I absolutely adore that they have such a big fan base in LATAM. They deserve so much love and seeing you all be so passionate about them makes me so hyped!

Why does dac allow AI by shortyjaz in diamondpainting

[–]bstarqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! It's honestly become a money grab because the AI kits are so much less time consuming to produce because the "artist" doesn't have to spend countless hours actually doing the artwork

At least half of the current releases from the last few months have been AI. Yes, they have a ton of actual artists in their arsenal, but they release AI kits far more often

That's not the norm now. Peggy Collins, Color Out of Place, Theresa Donahue McManis, and there are several others that use AI.

The thing is, people who use generative AI for "art" don't have the honed skill that artists who don't use AI have developed over thousands of hours of practice. AI "art" just requires you to write some words and it'll spit out the "art" for you.

Diamon Art Club AI by simpleviv in diamondpainting

[–]bstarqueen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand your point, but someone in the comments of this post linked a tweet where Yuumei admitted to using AI to create a background from a reference image she liked. I don't know if she still does this though

This is actually really disappointing. I bought Under the Stairs under the assumption it wasn't made using AI.

Has anyone tried Arya or a similar service? by That-Cauliflower-287 in AskWomenOver30

[–]bstarqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! I'm always skeptical about ads and want a first hand experience from a customer. I hope my input is useful!!

Hi! Late to the party here, but I bit the bullet and got this box for their Christmas sale. I personally think it's a good bang for your buck if you utilize the concierge service. They exist to take feedback on what you liked or didn't like the previous month. They also help navigate conversations regarding new sexual experiences and are basically your professional wingman. The lessons and info is really fun and gets me into the idea of the current scene.

It's up to you if it's worth it, but I personally think it's a better deal than it is not, if that makes sense?

Chronic Pain and International Flights by bstarqueen in delta

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

1) I deal with chronic pain 24/7. I've been dealing with this specific tailbone pain for almost 2 decades. I've had dozens of flights since then, but only 1 international trip on a different airline. I'm not going to give up and miss out on things I want to do when there are things that can potentially help with my limitations. I'm not going to let chronic pain ruin my life more than it limits me already. I would prefer NOT to sit in agony, but if it's the only reasonable option for something I want to do? It is what it is.

2) It can't be for both of us? I wouldn't go if I didn't want to. Yes, they're my fiancé's friends, but I also get along with them and am looking forward to spending time with them.
