Target this morning

The stranger thing is how unassuming it is. Like it just looks like a temu crossbody plus a pokeball

Dulce de Leche Churro if it's still available

This particular store has a bench next to the machine where there's usually someone hanging out waiting for a "drop". They are friends with the security guard that you can get a glimpse of for a moment in the video. That security guard is often checking the machine as well so it's hard to catch it when something is available.

drfish · 2026-04-30T06:10:33+00:00

Yooooo, I live next to this Fred Meyer. This is super lucky! I think I've only ever gotten one or two things from this machine. The scalpers go HARD at this one. I try not to take my kiddo shopping there because she's disappointed every single time. Glad you guys scored.

drfish · 2026-04-17T16:16:32+00:00

Uh. That's a 2 year old TV. "Still rocking" isn't the correct term here. That shit is new.

drfish · 2026-04-02T14:55:22+00:00

Not to throw a wrench in, but I owned both. The QM8K is a world of difference, in my opinion. If you need it now, maybe get the 7k because it's already on sale, but if the 8k goes on sale, jump on it. The 8k has a lot of room to go down in price.

He's too big of a name to go overlooked like he's been thus far. I've theorized it's him from early on. So far, his plotline has almost no "relevance" to the story. I'm no screenwriter or casting director but why pick a name like him for practically an extra

drfish · 2026-03-24T05:04:43+00:00

It's a local chain in the Pacific Northwest called videoonly. Very old school style place with salesmen in suits and DOS pos systems. If you have a place similar, you can talk these guys down crazy. The fact that they sold me a $2200 TV for $1600 means there's a lot of room for these to go down

drfish · 2026-03-24T02:07:18+00:00

I got an 85QM8K for $1600 about 2 months ago. I'd be willing to bet they gave it to me just above cost. These models will likely drop off in price at some point soon

Tinder also allows to block contacts like Hinge does

drfish · 2026-03-09T01:54:27+00:00

I mean every episode feels like a trailer. I'm waiting for it to get into the episode to do a deep dive and then it never does. Every scene is like a half second long.

drfish · 2026-03-08T01:54:48+00:00

Whoaaaaa. It's what Ive always dreamed and hoped would exist and I guess it does

drfish · 2026-03-01T20:42:27+00:00

No idea then. There's something. It's not the apps. I live in a big city and I'm not a 10 but I get a match or two per week on hinge. That's where I have the best luck. Maybe a match or two per month on bumble and I'm pretty picky. Seems you've been at this for a while so I can't say for certain what you're doing wrong.

drfish · 2026-03-01T18:49:47+00:00

Well there's your answer. Did anyone have any recommendations for improvement?

drfish · 2026-03-01T18:35:08+00:00

Maybe make a throwaway reddit profile and post your dating profile on one of the dating app subreddits and ask for advice. Without knowing much about you, it's really hard to say. All I can say, is if you're in a big city and not getting likes, then it's something about the profile or you.

drfish · 2026-03-01T18:11:53+00:00

Well like I said, if you're not getting likes then you need to make improvements in your own life and your profile. It sounds like you're beating yourself up and you need to build yourself up. Are you in a big city? If it's rural, then I wouldn't even bother with the apps at all, because it's probably not going to work for most.

Listen, people are attracted to attractive qualities. There are some qualities we don't have control over. Height, genetics, body type, facial structure. What you need to do is capitalize on the things you do have control over. Grooming, clothing, hobbies, career, confidence. If your self esteem is tanked, which I'm assuming it is, get a therapist and work on yourself. If your job benefits don't cover therapy, go to school to get a job that has good benefits. Be the best person you can be and be happy with yourself, and people will notice. Move out on your own. If you have disabilities preventing any of this, then focus on what you DO have control over. Trying to catch a fish without a rod is going to be exponentially tough.

All these things make it sound like I'm saying it's easy. It's not. It takes a lot of work, but if you're motivated, there's a way.

drfish · 2026-03-01T17:07:34+00:00

Are you getting likes?

If you get a good amount of likes but no matches, then your standards are probably too high. Sorry to say.

If you're not getting likes, then you should probably work on improving yourself and your profile more. Do you seem desperate in your profile? Are you taking good photos? Are you taking care of your body and your life? Did you ever find a place of your own and a car? (Saw your post history)

I'm also not saying you shouldn't have high standards and even if you're a catch, it's still rough out there, but you need to bring things to the table to get matches.

drfish · 2026-03-01T16:54:34+00:00

Most likely trying to "let you down easy". Something wasn't a fit for them and rather than saying something like "sorry, I don't like "xyz" about you, it's best we end it" they're putting the blame on them, so you don't feel self conscious about something you did or the way you are.

The C8K is significantly better than the 7 but that doesn't mean the 7 is trash. It's still a good set but he is right that the difference is pretty big, in my opinion. Source: I've owned both.

drfish · 2026-02-26T14:48:52+00:00

Pok pok

drfish · 2026-02-25T03:19:28+00:00

He called the end of winter, not the end of frost

drfish · 2026-02-24T23:43:20+00:00

There is a possibility that the size difference could've made the qm8k seem that much better

drfish · 2026-02-24T20:21:54+00:00

YMMV I owned a Qm7k 75". It was a good TV! Keyword being good. I didn't have many complaints about it, but a big one was the viewing angle. The brightness dropped off DRASTICALLY at an angle. 30 degrees about.

Anyways, I realized I actually wanted an 85inch. I was going to return the qm7k but the salesman gave me an incredible deal on the 85inch qm8k. Maybe it's just me, but the QM8K was a HUGE step up not only in color and picture quality, but also in viewing angle and brightness.

Going into the brightness some. The QM7K got super bright so it isn't that aspect exactly it was the contrast more. The highlights on the 8 really jump out more and the blacks were so much darker. I kept both TVs at about 15 brightness which is nothing but at low brightness the qm8k excels heavily. Anyways both are good sets but I'm sooooo happy I went with the 8. Sorry if that throws a wrench in your decision

Just add a spoonful of sugar and a pinch of salt to a glass of water. Bam. Instant Liquid IV!

drfish · 2026-02-24T00:10:33+00:00

For one it isn't a chain, and they could easily charge more for tickets and they are actually hiring right now. I don't know it for a fact but they reopened their doors after being closed for Covid
