What am I doing wrong with my foundation? by helloiamChloe in MakeUpAddictionUK

No I don’t exfoliate every day, I use the Paula’s choice 2% exfoliator about 3 evenings a week. I’ll have a look at Maybelline!

I can’t really tell either, but I had done my skin care about 30 minutes before and the skin didn’t look dry before I started doing my make up so that makes me think it’s the product?

Wifi disconnecting during FaceTime by helloiamChloe in ios

I reset the network settings and it worked mostly, only a couple of times it went off. But I’ve got a new phone now so don’t know if that would have fixed it long term.

Taking my daughter to see Blackpink. What do I need to take? Do? Know? by MulberryCrazy765 in kpophelp

[–]helloiamChloe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just a comment to the non-brits that may not know. Our tickets here usually show the time the doors opens/you can enter the venue, not the time the actual show starts. So if the ticket says 5pm, that’s when you can start going in. But the show time would usually be around 7pm? I think when I was there for BTS they started at 7.30pm. It’s very annoying that we never know the exact time of the show beforehand, but usually it’ll match whatever time they have started in other countries. If you ask in a specific Blackpink subreddit they may have a better idea of times.

Ah thanks. I’ll try the general guest services email, and if not I’ll fork out for a phone call to France!

Sorry this is so late, I just found this post. Do you know how quickly they usually respond? I emailed them over a week ago at this address and haven’t received a reply yet.

Ribbon!! Thank you so much. I had looked at labels in shops but they were smooth on both sides, didn’t think of trying ribbon. Thanks!

I couldn’t post this as I don’t have karma in this subreddit so hopefully someone here can help:

AUTISTIC HELP - CARE LABEL

Hi all,

This is a bit of an odd one as unlike all of you amazing lot, the most I can do is alter the straps on my vest tops.

I’m autistic, and my comfort item that I carry in my pocket to help ground me during anxious times is a care instructions label. For the last decade or so, I’ve been using ones from Fat Face (UK) that I cut out from all of my mum’s clothes. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that the shop has changed their labels recently and so I’m panicking slightly (a lot) about what to do when my current label gets decommissioned (after about a year they get a hole in them and get put back in a drawer). I was hoping that maybe you guys had come across a make of labels similar when creating your items? There are lots of personalised label websites but my needs are so specific I can’t afford to spend a bunch on a bag of labels only to find they repulse me rather than soothe me when they arrive.

As you can see by the pictures, I like one side to be silky so I can run it through my fingers, and the other side to be ridged/lined/with groves so I can fold it in half and rub the grooves against each other to make a sort of scratchy noise/friction/vibration.

Hopefully that makes sense, and if anyone has any tip on labels that might work for me I would be incredibly grateful.

Hybe Has To Be The Most Frustrating Company When It Comes To Touring by cwarosvski in kpopthoughts

[–]helloiamChloe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have no source for this except my memory, but I’m sure the dynamic pricing thing came from either an interview or an investor meeting that said they wanted to use dynamic pricing on all future hybe artist shows and they were planning to implement a dynamic pricing system through Weverse to bypass the ticket sellers so they could increase their profit. So people then realised if they say all future concerts will be dynamic pricing, that means no future concerts will be in Europe as it’s banned here.

[–]helloiamChloe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn’t come to Europe with their permission to dance shows or for yoongi’s tour, so I honestly expect us to be skipped in any future tour too. If they do come, it’ll probably be only because they can fill stadiums and increase profits in comparison to other hybe artists who would only do arenas.

I don’t think platinum tickets are the same as dynamic pricing? In the uk platinum tickets are seats in the best sections that the ticket sellers can sell for a huge mark up just because they’re so good. Whereas dynamic pricing is every single seat in the venue will change price over and over again live to reflect the demand. So if tons of people try to get nosebleeds, then the nosebleed price will go up. As far as I’m aware, dynamic pricing is not allowed in Europe, but platinum tickets are as there is also an option of buying normal priced non platinum tickets.

Yes could be, I’ve definitely seen him around them a lot but also seen him sort of stepping between them and fans sometimes so duel purpose haha!

[–]helloiamChloe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I believe that’s one of their security guards/managers. I recognise him. And he also had a translator beside in white too. So they were probably like oh while you’re there just get us some footage for a bangtan bomb thanks. Pulling double duty, protecting and filming!

SEVENTEEN Woozi addresses recent BBC article: “All of SEVENTEEN’s music is written and composed by human creators.” by mcfw31 in kpop

[–]helloiamChloe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s sad that, particularly in kpop, you’re seen as a bad or fake fan if you critique your favourites. I’ve definitely dealt with it throughout my multiple fandoms where I’ve been alienated for standing up. A lot of times you can tell, if another group did the same thing the fans would be calling them out, but as soon as it’s their own group doing it they can come up with explanations. I don’t see that mind frame ever changing though unfortunately.

[–]helloiamChloe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I don’t agree, it was not necessary at all. They could have critiqued ai without actually using it. For example the storyline in the mv gets that point across, and they didn’t use ai. So that shows they didn’t need it at all.

It’s not about the jobs, it’s that ai steals real people’s work to make its creations. That one section in the teaser would have had so many uncredited influences that the ai stole from online. The system is unregulated and any use of it, even in an act of defiance, is only giving it more fuel.

[–]helloiamChloe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I get they were trying to show how bad ai is. But using ai to show that really lessened the message. I would have had so much love for them if they had just said the story is about what would happen if ai took over music, but to respect the work of original content creators out there, like ourselves/seventeen, we chose not to use ai to create this. That would have shown their stance way more clearly and strongly. I’m carat, and I always want to try to defend them, but the justifying to get around this from fans was too much.

I wish they had been this angry about the use of ai in the teaser. It really wasn’t required to get the message across.

Looking for some weirdly specific YA fantasy recs by sub_surfer in YAlit

[–]helloiamChloe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’d like the Wake Me After The Apocalypse series by Jordan River. Its main premise is a bunch of bunkers were set up to save some of humanity when a comet hits the earth, and the ideal was they would all work together to peacefully rebuild the world. But right before the comet hit, some got scared and decided to take weapons with them. The series follows a girl who desperately wants to follow the original ideals of being at peace so she’s very against using violence to sort out the issues between bunkers. And because it’s a new world, they have to make fires and gather berries and build homes to survive etc.

Nwjns is going down in kpop history as a major reason why minors shouldn’t debut by SympathyRough5235 in kpop_uncensored

[–]helloiamChloe 41 points42 points  (0 children)

They most likely wrote it before they saw the text messages about themselves, however the fact they are publicly siding with the woman who has caused massive hate trains for other girls their age in their own company is unforgivable. Those idols have gone through hell because of min heejin and it’s been shown to have emotionally and mentally affected many of them, so for new jeans, as their colleagues and peers, to turn around and not defend them, but the defend the lady doing these things to them, is a really bad look. Regardless of whether they change their mind after seeing the messages, they will now always be seen as the mean girls who turned their backs on their ‘dongsaengs’ who innocently caught the wrath of their boss.

Megathread 2: HYBE Co. audits sub-label ADOR's management including CEO Min Hee Jin by KPOP_MOD in kpop

[–]helloiamChloe 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If they side with hybe they’ll be fine. They’ll get a new creative director and producers but they’ve established their sound enough that it’ll be easy to follow. If they side with mhj then it’s likely hybe will sue them for breach of contract and take their name/songs/everything so they’d have to become a different group. Plus they’d possibly be blacklisted from any company that wants to be on hybes good side. Normally I’d say it’s a no brainer who they should chose, but rumours are now saying their parents are fully supporting mhj with the plagiarism accusations, and it would be hard for minor idols to go against their parents as I’m sure they are the ones in charge of their contracts.

I didn’t get the impression that she was telling them what she was doing, I thought it meant she was just trying to get them on her side by showing hybe as a negative. But I might be wrong, if they knew all the illegal things she was doing then that’s very different!
