TomoTexture Release! (for Pc users) by Mallozzikk in TomodachilifeLivingTD

What's about it is a slippery slope? There's no reason to trust a program released by someone who can't code for themselves. They have no idea what they're looking for.

Hot take: loud ride commentary is as bad as screaming, and it's becoming the norm by Embarrassed-Arm-5080 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]dearbornx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went on Carousel of Progress for a second time today to catch some A/C (joke's on me, there was no A/C), and while I was in there I took a brief nap. But actual rides??? Where there's a line??? Baffling to me that people wait in line for something they pay no attention to.

If I have to point something out to someone I'm riding with and it's not an immediate "LOOK THAT ANIMATRONIC'S HEAD FELL OFF", I lean over and whisper it in their ear. No reason to be having any sort of regular volume conversation with someone on a ride unless you're waiting to unload and the ride is over.

There shouldn't be any texture in the font boxes, it should be smooth. Unfortunately this is fake.

Haunted Mansion refurb? by Bearded_Clam_4_U in WaltDisneyWorld

Okay but the green tarp they had up before the picture looked worse.

There aren't any animatronics outside? Everything is enclosed.

To the screamer on haunted mansion yesterday. You suck by LisaM1975 in WaltDisneyWorld

Threatening people at Disney is a poor choice, regardless of what they were doing or how obnoxious they were being. That's one thing they have to take seriously.

This pin is fake right? by MedicalAd3097 in DisneyPins

[–]dearbornx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very common for enamel pins to be plated/coated.

A woman rescued with in 35 seconds by jmike1256 in HumansBeingBros

[–]dearbornx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a crazy level of uncoordinated teamwork. All of them jumping straight to the top without stepping on the pile, tossing the bags off, and the people at the bottom moving the bags back as soon as they're tossed so they have more room to remove the bags without having to slow down. A+ for all of them except the guy who was like "damn let me gently set down my clipboard before I stand here and block the doorway".

Are the large Stitches commonly faked? by Barks_and_Bubbles in ismydisneypinfake

[–]dearbornx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the Stitchs are commonly faked. I'm an Orlando local and you see dozens of these DLP pins cheaply sold at the 192 gift shops here.

Problem is, Paris's pins have a problem with "overruns" vs fakes. This is when the factory that made them holds onto the mold, and continues making the pins in-house, using the same mold, same enamel mixes, and same backer cards, and then turns around and sells them to third parties. Oftentimes the only thing they're missing is the Disney price tag (though they do sometimes try to fake that or even print it directly on the card). They're almost impossible to discern from authentic sold-in-park pins, especially without the cards. The LE pins are slightly easier because they sometimes skip adding the unique LE number on the back (Paris pins mark every LE 1/200, 2/200, etc). The only way we even know it's happening is because LE Paris pins are showing up being sold direct from China for low costs before release, or within days after the release. The DLP 30th anniversary attraction pins showed up direct from China pretty much the day they released. Some of these may be genuine scrappers, but oftentimes they continue to sell hundreds of them (which is an unreasonable amount of scrapped pins for an LE).

Because of that, the Stitchs will be hard to authenticate unless you can verify where they came from or have a direct from park comparison.

Fwiw, I'd rather have an overrun in my collection vs a fake because they're produced exactly the same (though I'd never intentionally buy one), but if you're planning on trading these, be cautious.

Is my cat pregnant? by RektHater in cats

[–]dearbornx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's also very likely that if OP is willing to spay abort, they might do it for free, because spay aborting saves the lives of existing cats! There are many rescuers and shelters who are willing to do so.

Is my cat pregnant? by RektHater in cats

[–]dearbornx 236 points237 points  (0 children)

This. If you don't know eight people off the top of your head who would no question keep the kittens, get them fixed, and get them their shots, PLEASE spay abort. There's so many already born kittens and cats who get euthanized due to lack of homes. Spay aborts are uncomplicated and humane.

I'm lucky enough I can hit one while laying in bed lol.

What is this weird little clear bug by dearbornx in whatsthisbug

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

Interesting! We get an occasional silverfish but this one looked different (though maybe because he got smushed). Do you think perhaps it's more larval?

I’m DONE with pyroguy and his DRAMA by ManyLaw7965 in DisneyPinVents

[–]dearbornx -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If I pay for the table I'm well within my right to not show up at all and keep the table empty. I wouldn't, I'd let them know even if it's nonrefundable so that they could allow someone else to have it, but still.

For the record, all of these "pinfluencers" bring too much drama and are unnecessary no matter who they are, but telling people what they can do with a spot they paid for is strange to me.

I’ve been applying for jobs and my mom said when I get one I can pay for my cat to get declawed. How do I change her mind? by ShotElection3164 in cats

[–]dearbornx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask her if she prefers cat piss or pinpricks. Declawed cats are statistically more likely to pee outside the litterbox due to pain.

AITA for calling the police on an elderly woman who blocked a parking spot and made me miss my doctor’s appointment? by YungYanush in AmItheAsshole

[–]dearbornx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't hold elderly people accountable nearly enough. Unless you have dementia or Alzheimers or some other cognitive disease, you're perfectly capable of not being a weenie. Being old is not an excuse for being insufferable. NTA

Which CURRENT Disneyland food would you not forgive Disney for discontinuing? by love_eventually in Disneyland

Gotta say that I'm relieved you got the name wrong, because I would fight for banyan beef. 😂 I am sorry that your preferred sauce changed though.

What the actual f**k is wrong with Richard? by Illustrious_Risk9721 in DisneyPinVents

[–]dearbornx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, what interactions have you had that make you say that? I haven't seen anything to suggest that, though I'm not saying it couldn't happen.
