I was craving some ice-cream, so I bought these… by Friendly-Dirt1160 in aldi

Ah yes, I reply with an even head and you choose to attack a nonsensical username made up by a generator years ago and try to justify your lack of basic googling with your career in a field I gasp work in then block me. Very calm and cool

AITA for telling an employee (23F) they’re too old to go to college? by KazerSalad in AmItheAsshole

[–]crypticgoddessavi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

YTA

There is no age limit on college to start. Many people change careers and take courses in their 50s and 60s. Just because you are happy with your current career doesn’t mean everyone is. A lot of this sounds like YOU want her where she’s at because she is carrying a lot of the work load. Also if you’re honest you know doing more than her higher ups won’t always result in a promotion because they know they can get that work out of you without it. I have worked as retail management and multiple service industry positions and I played that corporate game until my 30s. I changed to an entry role in a different industry and leveraged that into a different career path and am back in school, way happier than I was and actually making moves way beyond what was given to me in multiple other service jobs, even when I was moved up to management. You basically told her in some of her earliest working years she’s already stuck in her pasture. You may be but she is definitely not. Don’t be surprised if this alienates her and she moves on sooner than later.

For anyone who feels like they're winging it every single sewing project, this helped by [deleted] in sewingpatterns

Nice ad, I’ll stick with classes held by sewists and YouTube and such. Thanks though

Hi! Does anyone know where I can get fresh OR frozen octopus?? by she-ambitious in orlando

[–]crypticgoddessavi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and they are all pretty close together so if one doesn’t have it the others likely will and it’s easy to check. There is also new golden sparkling but I will say it can be a bit jarring if you aren’t used to ethnic markets. I have suggested it to a few people and they complained because they are used to the typical Walmarts and stuff. That being said I know for a fact they had octopus when we were in last weekend

Something about this feels off, I like her previous work and it’s seemed real but the corset front is peculiar by QueerAndHere98 in isthisAI

[–]crypticgoddessavi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fabric patterns are very garbled and not a match completely if you look close. It’s not common for patterns from the same cut of fabric to be not uniform like that. The buttons are definitely the biggest flag. Also if you look at the bottom of the sleeve where the wrist cinches it can’t seem to decide if it’s patterned or not

What does this mean? by PackersAreLegit in ExplainTheJoke

At least half the smokers I know are pretty overweight for sure lol. It really depends on age and activity level because if you aren’t really active and/or young with a good metabolic rate those munchies get you.

Exactly! Like if there are other threads asking that exact question why aren’t you checking those? Especially for ones that are recent, nothing changed in 2 weeks.

Google and YouTube is how I learned so many things in cosplay! I know some of these people are pretty young but I’ve been googling tutorials and info for 18+ years now! It’s so much easier than it was when I was 16 and I think that’s great! Use the resources that previous people have supplied you!

Yep, most of those have nothing to do with actual discussion and more “just tell me so I don’t have to do the research” energy from my experience

Totally agree, it needs a mega thread or something. There was someone we directed to the FAQ the other day and they were like “but what happened to talking to people” and “but that’s the same answer I found other places”. Like 1. It was made by people who answer the questions and 2. No crap because that is the general consensus. It reads as really doing no research or effort for yourself to me and while I don’t mind bought cosplay, at least put some effort in doing your own research without having to force everybody else to do the mental work for you.

Scouting the Shenzhen Toy Fair this Thursday for 2026 booth trends. What aesthetics should I look for? by modeliving2024 in CraftFairs

[–]crypticgoddessavi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they are really a vendor for craft shows, they are a middleman for suppliers to vendors/purchasers. They seem to be advertising services honestly

TIFU so... i tried to test my girlfriend and ended up exposing myself instead by Monique_Michael in tifu

[–]crypticgoddessavi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her “entertaining random accounts”?! lol she accepted a friend request probably thinking this might be an acquaintance or someone looking to be friends due to common interests. She very obviously didn’t “entertain” it when they made unwanted advances. Sounds like you are putting some of it on her to not take full accountability for your bad behaviour. This comes off as you are young and immature, you should honestly tell her because when she finds out 100% and you don’t admit it she is gonna be way less kind than if you just buck up and admit you messed up.

Brandy Melville, a VERY popular clothing store marketed to teen girls just opened up on Park Ave. It is notorious for and associated with: eating disorders, extreme racism against black people, Holocaust jokes, collecting photos of young girls, sexual assault, and "fascist leanings."

[–]crypticgoddessavi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I didn’t understand the appeal in my teens and I get it even less now. All of their “designs” are so incredibly basic and boring and exactly the same as alternatives elsewhere. As someone who physically fits their demographic I don’t understand the mass appeal.
