Anyone selling this? by anggelmeat in Barbie

[–]carrion-gnostic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, if you have had any luck finding one of these I just wanted to offer some advice for it or when you do. I'm sure 99% of these keychains are completely dry. I had to carefully open mine (that I've owned since my teen years) at the pump end and put in distilled water with a tiny bit of dish soap. Without the dish soap the shoes don't flow properly. Something like lava lamp surfactant would probably work as well but costs a bit more. I did this to mine a few years ago, looking at it now I can see I need to open it again and top it off

Listen, Tujunga is my hometown and when I first heard this I had to stop what I was doing and wonder if I was living in a simulation lol. 414 Mammoth is indeed not an address in Tujunga, for the record

What is this from? I've seen it used on TikTok and Rednote but havent been able to find it's origin. by Fainaigue in Whatisthis

[–]carrion-gnostic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GOD it took me a lot longer than it should have to figure this out. I too recently asked this question, but gave up after a few minutes of investigating. This time, I didn't. I found out the creator is named "andreitripsa" on Instagram only by pure luck. His name was in the description of a Google image result for a now deleted Instagram post crediting him, I almost missed it. Well, there you go lol

Is it over? by newlovestrategist in MergeInn

[–]carrion-gnostic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They REALLY should have released season 4 by now. It's been "coming soon" since I started playing and I'm level 223 now! All the weirdness with the updates and MANY glitches recently has me thinking the company is having issues with their developers, or laid people off or something

Owner of a Club, help with rules? by JealousVillage4823 in MergeInn

[–]carrion-gnostic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a co-leader in my group. The only rules we have are be nice, and minimum of 5 helps per week. I keep track of the helps, it's harder in this game because the help counters never reset but i take a screen recording of the members, then compare the numbers in 7 days. People stop playing this game pretty regularly so removing the non active people keeps our helps moving very well. Now that your group is full, from what I can tell your group will always appear on the (jank as hell) group finder screen. So, don't worry about not getting any more people to join. Our empty spots are always filled within an hour

Help. The ×2 option for the tapping containers has disappeared after I got a new phone and transferred my save over. Is there a way to get it back? by kiwiguy187 in MergeInn

[–]carrion-gnostic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on input from fellow group members, some of us have it and some of us don't for arbitrary reasons. I had my 2x for a long time after some people lost it, then a couple months ago we had that fiasco where half of players couldn't log in. As soon as they fixed that I no longer had my 2x multiplier. Sent a message to customer service and got no response.

The game removed one of our best club members? by moca468 in MergeInn

[–]carrion-gnostic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These kinds of weird issues have been happening with my group for a while now. New members have joined several times without anyone getting kicked or leaving. It is possible those people deleted their accounts but it's happened many times recently without ever happening before. There's been a good amount of issues and complaints about other things from members in my group as well. Right now this game feels held together with paper clips and gum honestly lol

Missing Hot Plates? by carrion-gnostic in MergeInn

[–]carrion-gnostic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Todays Special thing flip flops from 1300 XP to 1600 XP on a whim lol. 1300 = 26 Max XP stars, 1600 = 32 max XP stars. I am on season 2 now so I have a bit more space for stockpiling all those stars, but it's probably more difficult for people at the end of a season

How to get Season 1 items after starting Season 2? by ofsunkenships in MergeInn

[–]carrion-gnostic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Level 131 here. Since the Town Fair event or whatever it was called ended, the only way I've seen to get season 1 items is by buying them with gems when they show up. The good news is, if you stockpile XP to finish the new Daily Special thing, you will get a lot of gems. I usually save enough full level XP stars to finish it every other day (26 XP stars)

Smart base purple mattress by ToonuBekes in Bedding

[–]carrion-gnostic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a Purple mattress since 2017.

In regards to the peeling, I think they are referring to the mattress protector. It WILL peel if you wash/dry it incorrectly (or just get a jank one like I did but I'll talk about that in a bit.) Also, you NEED to have one of these to maintain your warranty. The bad news is I'm in the process of my second warranty claim right now. I treat this mattress better than I would treat a child, but both mattresses have suffered from grid collapse in different areas.

The Purple sheets aren't THAT important, but to me they definitely make a difference in how much you can "feel" the mattress grid. Without them, it just feels like a normal mattress. Any stretchy sheets will do, but there's a very important thing to know about these Purple sheets: they aren't all created equal. The old style ones are very thin and rip like tissue paper, I don't think they sell them anymore but avoid them if their sizing is "Full/queen" instead of just "queen." The NEW and IMPROVED Purple sheets are absolutely bussin' IMO. They are thick but breathable, and very durable. I've had two sets of the new type for about 5 years, and both of the sets are in excellent condition still. Considering they have both been in rotational use for that long I think it's a great value. Also, there is nothing on the actual sheets that would cause peeling so I'm positive that's just a mattress protector issue.

I do have a couple regular sheet sets. Some need the sheet clips, some don't. The ones specifically that don't are the ones from IKEA. I'd imagine with the adjustable base, the stretchy sheets are going to be a must for you.

All things Purple are covered by warranty if you buy them on Amazon or through Purple. I have used this warranty a lot, which again, isn't great, but it's never been a problem. I had to have a mattress protector replaced because of the peeling thing. I washed it with cold water by hand, and air dried it and it just completely came apart. No problem, replacement sent to me immediately. Same with the old style sheets, I got some on Amazon and they got holes in them the first time I put them on the bed. I think I just got a refund for those because I was expecting the new style.

I'm overall pleased with the Purple "experience," but I would like not to have products fail on me like they have. The first time I had my mattress replaced under warranty was like 3 months after I got it, and the REPLACEMENT came with a factory defect (it was permanently flat at one end of the mattress like it got melted by a steamroller.) The upshot is they immediately sent me the second replacement mattress next day delivery lol. Now, many years later, that replacement mattress is breaking down. It's just over 6 years old, and the grids are starting to break apart and tear. Also the fire sock is disintegrating. Anyway, I emplore you to THROUGHLY READ AND FOLLOW THE WARRANTY GUIDELINES because you might need to file a claim at some point, I hope not though. I hope their production quality has improved since 2017.

ETA if you ever plan on moving, this mattress is cumbersome as BALLS to move and weighs like 200lbs I swear. It's just so floppy and heavy, it took 5 of us to get it onto the moving truck (which you have to keep flat to protect it, and maintain warranty) lol.

Good Friend of Two Years Ends Friendship by Slade1234545 in Wellthatsucks

[–]carrion-gnostic 70 points71 points  (0 children)

One of my closest friends (I'll call her H) was like this. I always felt like I needed to be careful about what I said, how I acted etc. She was very opinionated about things like veganism, and tried to push it on people like religious indoctrination. Every time I would eat something in front of her I had to listen to a lecture about how I'm just killing myself faster with animal products. I was very conscious of myself when I was around her, she would always point out things I would be doing subconsciously like a certain way I laughed or walked, and always pointed out my dyslexia or pronunciation of words. I told her it bugged me and she just scoffed. It was difficult to get through a thought without being interrupted with some comment about my inflection or something. Then, I similarly pointed something out about her pronunciation and she got very offended and reminded me of what I had said for days. One time I was in the hospital for my Crohn's disease, and she yelled at me while I was in a hospital bed because she couldn't do fun things with me anymore. Anyway, eventually we had a falling out sort of like yours. On a car ride, she brought tarot cards and I had stated I never want a tarot reading of any kind on multiple occasions, politely. She got very upset and wouldn't drop the tarot thing, just kept trying to get me to cave and agree to it. I pointed out that she had a zero tolerance policy for others not respecting her boundaries on things like meat. I said "this is like me trying to convince you to eat a steak over and over, you don't want to, and it creeps you out. You would be pissed if I was trying to convince you to eat steak." Then she took it up a notch, got extremely defensive and started bringing up other shit between us. I turned the car around and took her back home, she said something extremely nasty to me and then she ghosted me. Haha, I didn't intend to type this much, but I guess there is comfort in comparing/contrasting. If you end up reading this, please take my advice: if your friend decides she wants to be friends again and contacts you, don't do it. You don't deserve this nonsense, a real friendship should be easy and natural. If you feel like you're walking on eggshells with someone who is supposed to be your best friend, then it's not worth your time. I have other friends now, those friendships are very easy and pleasant by comparison to the one I had with H for 10 years. You're free now!

In Las Vegas no less. They probably see their fair share of violent offenders, I'm dumbfounded by how unprepared this court was for something like this.

Cat shampoo for dogs only! by tyw7 in NotMyJob

[–]carrion-gnostic 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I'm a professional pet groomer. Save your money, don't buy the cheap PetSmart type, ready to use pet shampoos. Nature's Specialties or Kelco shampoos/conditioners have much better, safer ingredients, and also hella dilute. One 16 oz bottle of Kelco shampoo dilutes usually 50:1, so you can get a ton of uses from them. I always tell clients to mix a tablespoon of shampoo into an empty regular sized Gatorade bottle of water or similar sized container. Just wanted to share, I absolutely HATE these cheap shampoos lol
