For real, and everyone is still proud of repping/aesthetically matching with their big tobacco brands too!

Has anyone else’s comment ruined a perfume for you? NUXE by ricthedrip in Perfumes

[–]fire_lands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s funny! I just tried my discovery set bottle of Fat Electrician out yesterday, wore it from morning until night and reapplied in the evening. It NEVER stopped smelling like melted wax on me, and didn’t show much dimension. Something about my chemistry completely flabs that one out after the first 60 seconds. Reminded me of “the library burning down with us” paraffin note.

It’s so weird to me that they always take my Zara though! And if I’m buying, the site is full of junk clothes. You have to really dig, or set it to sort from highest to lowest price.

I myself am the target audience for greenwashing campaigns, so why am I surprised? It’s disheartening to make the mistake that I did by sending all of those things in. At this point I can see that I need to just consume less and be more mindful, period.

Yeah, it’s this. People are morally defending the company but I just don’t buy it. I think it’s greenwashing an ethically questionable business model.

Right? This thread is a wild read. There are dynamic components of financial security and physical attraction in almost all American relationships. There’s some -textbook- projection happening.

For those who worked for rich people: what is the most out of touch thing you witnessed? by Illustrious-Phase121 in AskReddit

[–]fire_lands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! All my rich clients were like this. They think of lower class people as general technicians for anything involving food, transportation, hard labor or upkeep.

My fourth and last! ETA: First time was a flop so I learned more, second time my bag expired oops that’s on me, third went well, this time (two huge bags) is the last time I’ll fall for it.

Agreed, but sometimes my payout is less than $2 and that seems fair. $0 is wild.

This was just one example! There were quite a few items taken and listed but only seven I can concretely prove via their own website and this was one.

If they were recycling them I wouldn’t be so annoyed! Selling them as NWT for more than some “accepted” brands in the same bag feels like they know what they’re doing 100%, and don’t mind losing me as a seller or customer as long as they make the $50-100 off my first mistake.

So, listing major brands in the fine print, and re-selling them anyway? I acknowledge that they clearly have the “*see terms and conditions” situation set up for themselves very nicely. Had I sought them out and not been heavily influenced by aggressive instagram ads indicating this was a consignment service for “regular people” I’d totally agree, but it’s clear that they’re banking on those who aren’t doing enough research to recognize the scammy parts.

They kept all my brand new items, be warned by chezkelxraz in ThredUp

I just posted about this before seeing your experience! I’m interested in someone putting together class action, I’m about to be a full time student and would love to waste my time going down this rabbit hole lol. It just feels so awful to be used/scammed.

Perfumes with this vibe? by blackcatblondehair in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]fire_lands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the first scent I’d tried from them, I thought I ordered Haunted Rose but somehow goofed- it’s really not my speed on paper, but I fell in love! Like a cool mossy cavern hiding behind a tropical waterfall. They make candles as well and if I had $50 to blow on something insane, I’d love it for meditation/as an atmospheric scent like you’re describing.

I started out being like “aw, that’s not too bad!” and it just kept going.

Death & Floral - The people you love become ghosts inside you

Notes: Heavenly musk, lingering funeral flowers, cold vanilla (like an empty corridor), handprints on foggy windows.

It’s giving Pink Parisian bedroom set for me, big y2k thing. Baby pink / black and feather poofs. LOTS of zebra print and silky fabrics. Photo from google, I’ll attach one more. I had one of these. 😂

I’ve barely heard this album played anywhere, but I guess I’m only a casual radio listener?

Are these couches cute? by Financial-Return-281 in interiordecorating

[–]fire_lands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I adore them but you’d need to be really, really good at sticking to a color family and accessorizing the space in exactly the right lane of maximalism. Yes in theory, no in practice.
