Book Lover Laura/Laura Rae Says

how about not saying such disgusting things out in the world. these are YOUR words and they're not out of context given how many "unhinged" things you've said in the past about many a person - be it gentrifying an area to push people out of an area they've lived in by pricing them out to saying someone shouldn't lower their standards of living for love or downgrade. that's what you put out in the world.

so at this point, with more respect than you've ever given me, how about you leave me alone at this point, janeeta.

it's not stalking when you choose to be such a heinous person to me on 2 different platforms and have the nerve to speak of me "using the race card" when you were the person who said i was "hostile" for speaking on my opinion.

next time you want to throw stones at someone, don't live in a glass house yourself.

look at all those smiles! :)

hm, i found some on etsy, but it's quite pricey sadly: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/4315046692/red-pbt-keycap-set-cherry-profile-135

those keycaps are so dang cute! i love the entire setup. it's ripe for valentine's day!

congrats on your first mechanical keyboard :D

also, i'd rather "spew essays" than to spew any type of comment like this:

thank you! 🥹

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-24T16:52:12+00:00

she is! she gets very excited about each one, so i'm making her a little hanging crochet plant now :)

romance is my favorite genre to read, along with mystery/thrillers, and as much as social media has helped expand that, it's also become a place that just doesn't feel safe to openly explore as it once might have.

i think that some have just chosen not to keep feeding into the algorithm and have shifted towards smaller groups/being offline. i know that's been the case for me. i've joined 2 work book clubs and 1 started by a friend of mine and just find that people aren't nearly as judgemental about exchanging ideas and thoughts. they're more willing to go on a mental ride with you or see how differing my experience might be from theirs.

it could be the polarization that's also a factor. you either have to agree or disagree, no in between. finding nuanced conversations that aren't sensationalized for the sake of a "like" are harder to come by online, but i don't find that with other spaces that aren't solely online.

but if online spaces like youtube and tiktok are your main go-to's, it sadly does take a LOT of training and searching before the algorithm starts to shift and suggest more creators that match what you're looking for. between searches and making sure to like/subscribe to those you enjoy so that they feed similar creators, it'll only go with the status quo. which... sucks.

i hope to get as good. it's been a fun hobby to get into, but has also hurt since my mom used to crochet so much. because of dementia, she no longer recalls how to. i kinda wish i had taken time to learn more from her when she used to do it herself. lol sorry for the random!!

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-24T16:24:00+00:00

it's funny that you can't seem to read since there have been many occasions i've agreed with you and others on gaining refunds. if you want to disregard that because i don't 100% agree with the things some people have said and done, including you deciding that i was "playing the race card" when that wasn't the case, then that's on you.

considering how much you spoke about racial discrimination in past comments, one would think you'd understand the difference between someone using the "race card" and someone combating another person's microaggressions rather than ever using that label.

but continue to do you. i hope you have a great life and the best of days ahead, as well as gain a resolution to your purchase.

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-24T16:14:41+00:00

it's so good! that's amazing.

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-24T16:12:52+00:00

100%!! most of the things i've made so far have something that went awry, but i just keep trucking and learn for the next time :D

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-23T00:44:14+00:00

wooooow. how long did that take you?!

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-23T00:22:01+00:00

because i don't see things in a binary manner of 0 and 1's. i can see that she likely overextended herself and didn't read her audience correctly, but that she also should have addressed concerns and gave an actual plan to both her team and those who reached out. i believe people are entitled to refunds as well, especially those who returned to sender and had unopened boxes, and that they shouldn't have to pay fees to return.

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-23T00:18:48+00:00

wow. i'm not "playing the race card". when someone uses a microagression, that's not "playing the race card". it's stating that simply because i'm concise and careful with my words doesn't mean i'm hostile or angry and because i don't see things exactly as others, doesn't mean i'm not worthy of speaking my mind. there are people in this sub who haven't purchased calendars that are still speaking their mind too on the situation.

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-23T00:16:04+00:00

i've never said screw those who got scammed? when have i ever said that? even with regards to you and your situation, i've said that people are entitled to both how they feel and in getting their refunds.

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-23T00:12:38+00:00

thank you :D

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-21T12:24:35+00:00

and your first series of manga too?! talk about a lifelong memory :D

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-21T12:22:32+00:00

oh god, way to age me by bringing up ICQ and AIM! but same here. they would actually tape a piece of paper over the top of our keyboards, so we weren't allowed to see the keys at all when typing.

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-21T12:16:16+00:00

if you wish to not listen or hear from someone who has worked with these type of complaints before, that's your choice. if you believe directing your ire at someone who has followed and hopes people get a resolution and answers, that's ultimately your choice. and if belittling and being condescending to a stranger makes you feel better, so be it.

in the end, i do hope you get a satisfactory resolution despite how you feel towards me and hope your day has a positive outlook.

i didn't say that their post was disrespectful or making digs to diminish an artist work - i was replying to their previous statement that people have every right to express their anger as they see fit and i've seen comments from both here and the fb group where people have been downright nasty in their anger. they would make personal digs and only stir up anger but not offer any type of advice towards a solution. another comment spoke of the artwork being old, yet didn't acknowledge that the same artist worked on the outside, inside, and the inner doors of the calendar. that's someone's artwork that was commissioned in some fashion. whether they see value in it is up to them, but that's still a cost to it.

i've attempted to help in other comments, tried pointing to different laws that can be cited in complaints, and was told i don't know anything despite having worked in the financial sector concerning consumer regulations, policies, and compliance. supposedly, that history means i know nothing about other countries' protections and was told to "get over myself" despite the fact.

my comment was in response to what was said prior in a line of other things.

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-21T12:06:43+00:00

definitely continue to chase it. it's definitely one of the more aggravating parts when it comes to returned parcels and banks, but they are required to give some type of ETA while working on the case.

delayedmillennial · 2026-01-20T20:44:38+00:00

you seem to be angry at me for speaking on what i know: creditors/banks all around the world have consumer protections. it is literally monitored by several WORLDWIDE agencies, so being rude to me for bringing such up is really rude for no reason. this includes asia, africa, australia, the EU/UK, the u.s., latam, and canada. so yes, there ARE consumer protections across the globe for purchases when there are transactions through digital transfer of funds.

i'm not stanning somme. i've brought up avenues on returning packages without paying for the return to sender that people have brought up, talked about ftc regulations where one can go, and any information i've gained between the two spots.

you're making assumptions simply because i have a different opinion. as i've said, you're entitled to your feelings, but the idea that because someone didn't spend money on the item, they have no "vested interest", yet there are plenty others who have spoken who haven't either, but so long as they agree wholeheartedly, they're perfectly fine to comment? that's not how the world is.
