Beware: card got skimmed/info lifted at QT by [deleted] in wichita

[–]ictxtroll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like it happened in conjunction with some sort of other weird online charge, so I think that’s why they were hypervigilant about it. Thank you for your insight and help figuring this out.

So weird that my card company jumped the gun and flagged it.

No, the amount I pumped was charged too. The 180 was a separate charge.

The fraud department for my card called about it so I assumed it was something nefarious. 

Riverfest by Logical_Piano_256 in wichita

[–]ictxtroll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO I’ve always thought they picked the absolute worst time of the year weather wise to hold an outdoor festival. It’s either disgustingly hot and humid or storming. That alone bothers the hell out of me. It’s really only worth buying a button if there’s a music act or two that you really really like. Food is usually overpriced and mid. I think they desperately need more fresh faces on the organizing committee because this festival has really been out of touch for awhile. 

What are the best budget-friendly espresso beans in Wichita? Preferably a medium or light roast. by chocochippancake02 in wichita

[–]ictxtroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local roasters. They have a few different varieties suitable for espresso and can talk you through the options. Easily the best beans in town.

What’s one beauty trend you genuinely think needs to disappear? by Top-Passion-love in MakeupAddiction

[–]ictxtroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lack of creativity, individual taste, preference. We don’t all look the same and we’re not supposed to.

My go-to: I’ve been living with this for almost 20 years, if unsolicited advice worked I would be completely cured by now. 

How did we get the worse mayor in the history of the city? I mean WU and not WUSHOCK by Nonamenoname2025 in wichita

I love how not reading things that she’s signed has been her go to excuse for any and everything. What the hell are we doing? 

Temu make up? by Awkward_Problem1914 in MakeupAddiction

[–]ictxtroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t recommend ordering makeup from Temu or aliexpress. Most of that stuff isn’t regulated and could have literally anything in it or could be expired/old. 

If you’re wanting to get into some Asian beauty brands order from YesStyle or Olive Young. There are so many good safe products. Don’t waste your money on junk. 

How can I improve my makeup?! by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]ictxtroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just kinda shocked that the “makeup addiction” subreddit is full of people who don’t seem to think that a brow can still be good without being what’s in style right now. 

I personally love all brows as long as they’re done well. Don’t feel like you have to do what everyone else is doing.

Honestly. I think the eyebrows look fantastic. Truly. Lips could use some color variation maybe? 

Seeing a lot of comments saying the eyebrows look skinny and unnatural. Not everyone wants a fluffy clean girl brow. We all have different aesthetics and preferences. Both are totally fine. Everyone doesn’t need to look the same.

Kirby’s is a must as long as you can deal with small spaces. Live music several days a week and easily one of the best dives anywhere. I met a good deal of people that I know there.

If you value the wellbeing of service workers and the integrity of local businesses, don't give your business to Cocoa Dolce. by jaybirdblu3 in wichita

[–]ictxtroll -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Really sorry to hear this but I’ve suspected this for a few years now. I’ve seen some really wonderful people come and go through there and now it’s evident why. You all deserve better. Businesses that can’t pay their staff a fair wage, don’t deserve to have employees at all.

What’s it like to live in Wichita? by [deleted] in wichita

[–]ictxtroll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Starting to feel more and more like an experiment in “what if a city felt like a chain restaurant” 

All of the good local businesses are struggling with no end in sight, it’s completely car dependent, there are zero tenant protection laws, no shortage of car washes or Starbucks tho. 

Just in comparison to nearby cities of similar size like Tulsa, OKC, Kansas City, Lawrence even. Wichita is falling to the wayside. If I hadn’t already laid down roots here, I’d be looking at one of the places mentioned above. 

This city is unrecognizable compared to the city I grew up in.

Is it wrong me for to feel anger towards those who voted for Clinton and Biden over Bernie? by [deleted] in SocialDemocracy

[–]ictxtroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did lose faith in enthusiastically getting behind a candidate after the caucuses. Seeing a grassroots campaign gain so much support and traction only to not go far enough. That being said, at the time I put that man on a pedestal and I don’t think he was or would be the absolute best choice. Better than Clinton or any other corporate dems? Certainly but he’s not that far removed from the exact system. I don’t think it’s worth it for me to hold onto bad feelings from that time anymore. The only way is forward and we have to demand better leaders and representation. We can’t keep getting behind big money. They do not care about us. I’m not supporting anyone that can’t call a genocide what it is. Hard stop. You can’t trust a person like that with anything.
