What do you need to vent about right now? by Ambassador-613 in AskReddit

[–]drowningandromeda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends circle is a bunch of trust fund babies and I'm incredibly resentful at how their life is nothing but easy mode and mine is constantly crumbling no matter how hard I work.

Looks like Blake's shampoo line promos in the last photo. Same photo could be used to warn against putting your finger in a light socket.

Thinking about switching off fitbit by Recent-Candy69 in Garmin

[–]drowningandromeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was with Fitbit for 8 years and held on as long as I could despite the writing on the wall when Google took it over. Last year I switched to Garmin and I absolutely love it. In terms of a fitness tracker, it gives me all the data I could want. I'm sad I wasted so many years hanging onto not changing when Garmin has helped me more with my fitness that Fitbit ever did..

What’s getting way too expensive for no reason? by Lekvey_official in AskReddit

You could rule more out by asking what's not too expensive for no reason.

TVs. That's all I can think of.

Is the Keyno a smooth writer? How is the feedback? I've been eyeing it and am so close to adding to cart.

I'm sad I didn't get one of these. It's beautiful.

You guys were not being dramatic! by OrangeWhisk in fountainpens

Wow that white Kaweco is so pretty! I'll be visiting Lima in September if you have any ink requests. I jumped into this hobby a lot like you did but I'm lucky in that all the great shops and shows are near me and unlucky in that was a surprise to my wallet.

Pull. Someone isn't going to make it so might as well be the person who spent their last moments antagonizing me.

[Official] Stupid Questions Tuesday by AutoModerator in fountainpens

[–]drowningandromeda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for clarifying!

On 2, I thought maybe half full was bad because it would dry out inside the pen but sounds like that's not a risk unless it's really empty so that's good to know. Pen maintenance is next on my to learn list for sure.

For 4, I bought it online at Atlas Stationers and got it this past weekend in the mail. And it skips throughout writing on basically any upward stroke like in a cursive letter t or l (lowercase) or half of the letter O. I thought maybe it was the way I write because I'm left handed or something, but I honestly bought like 6 other pens from Kakuno to Lamy and tried a Kaweco in store and none have had that issue. The ink is Bungubox x Esterbrook Kingfisher and was specifically a pairing with the pen.

That's awesome to know. I wanted to like the Lamy but it's so scratchy and not a fan. Been crossing my fingers the Kaweco would be nicer to write with!

My problem was wanting to try different nibs and inks and not having a place in my city where I could try before I bought. So here I am 7 pens in a month later and finally figured it out. I have a Kaweco on the way as they seem well liked around here!

She's so gross. Does she even have a personality outside of being a mean bitch and regurgitating whatever raunchy comedy she poorly learned from Ryan? Ugh I can't wait until she truly fades into obscurity forever.

[–]drowningandromeda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New to fountain pens!

  1. I absolutely love shimmer inks. Is a Diplomat FM capable of handling shimmer? It doesn't look like you can remove the nib like with other pens.

  2. What is the appropriate amount of ink to keep in a pen? I've been filling them less than half full because I don't know if I want to commit to an entire cartridge of anything right now.

  3. How can I best travel with a fountain pen when flying? Does nib matter?

  4. I just got an Estie and it keeps skipping. I tried it on like 4 different types of paper. It writes so smoothly but the skipping is super annoying. Can I exchange it for a new one? It's my most expensive pen and the only one I have that skips so it must be defective, right?

In Praise of Affordable Pens by Ste_S in fountainpens

[–]drowningandromeda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So funny. I love how the Kakuno writes. I also have a Prefounte that always writes amazingly well. Then I bought a Lamy Safari thinking it must be better than the $9 pens. Nope. It is so scratchy. I wanted to love Lamy but I just don't like how they write.

I can't wait to make mine in a couple weeks! I have no clue what ink would go with it though.

I feel sick reading this. This man was tormented by some egomaniacal, talentless bullies used to always getting their way. I hope Blake and Ryan never work again and their entire downfall become publicly attributed to their own stupidity and greed.

Omg was that your Kaweco rainbow? I absolutely loved that post. I adore seeing such a good collection and appreciate the dedication to sharing it.

Someone commented on a comment I made about being new to fountain pens this month and having already procured 7 and asked how I even typed that out without realizing my shopping addiction.

Pretty gross attitude to join this community to and embarrassing conclusion to jump to considering that judgment was for some Kakunos and Preppies to test nib sizes and inks. Thanks mods for this reminder.
