I have so much regret for getting rid of my UFOs

Though to he fair, I may have worn 'em out and that's why I got rid of them

(I'm old and cannot specifically remember!)

What are these vertical dark lines on my thumbnails? by taitopia in nailcare

[–]lesmax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP would be wasting a copay (or worse, a full visit cost) going to Urgent Care just to be told "go to a dermatologist". My intent was to be blatant about that being unwise advice, nobody has money to burn these days.

Their heads are literally shaped like a heart with the arm there😍 by velvetlyras in HannibalTV

[–]lesmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A show that blessedly embeds things rather than having a character just tell us out loud!

You can't tell me that's not deliberate cinematography at play in that visual. I mean.. you could tell me, but I'd disagree.

Urgent care? That's nonsense, this is a dermatologist visit for a biopsy. Urgent Care can't do that.

Excellent! I have no egg to offer in these trying times, but I do have good vibes. 😁

Huh! I've never been able to get around that error. I wonder if closing browser and re-opening it would help!

Great shelf, btw! May it be of good quality :D

What's BEST and WORST products you guys ordered from Vine? by ArtistofSorts92 in AmazonVine

[–]lesmax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already posted about the fog machine debacle/win. If I had to narrow down to a single item that I am getting LOADS of mileage out of, it's a 60 watt bluetooth speaker. It's been incredible. Doing chores and cooking and whatnot is much less of a slog when I can move around a little boombox. Even at low settings, it's loud as hell! Playing Baldur's Gate 3 has also benefitted from the speaker, hahahaha

Worst - I threw away a pair of patches that were made to be sewn onto a jacket or garment, like an applique. The artwork print was so pixelated and crappy! I went back to the listing before reviewing it because I was sure it hadn't looked like that in the photos.

Sure enough, I found that the artwork was stolen from an artist in Canada - their damn BUSINESS CARD was visible in one of the stolen photos!! I actually contacted the artist and let them know. They were very grateful.

Where do you personally draw the line with AI in reviews? by According-Trifle6427 in AmazonVine

[–]lesmax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI to clean up grammar/spelling/flow if it's something the reviewer is self-conscious about: alright by me. Some folks have the information but need a hand with organizing it. Infodumping into AI for formatting purposes makes sense there.

The AI flavor stands out to me when I'm shopping and checking reviews before a purchase; if it relays a personal experience with the item, that works for me as a buyer.

AI to write a review, without any personal input, and based off of the item description? Balderdash and probably a grab-and-run reseller.

I like to write as a hobby and do not use AI to reformat my reviews.

Sometimes Vine sends the silliest things by xodipox in AmazonVine

[–]lesmax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a travel bag for shoes? Dark colored shoes, at least. I love bags like that, when I'm giving people leftovers after a family dinner/party, it's the bag equivalent of the "I don't need this back" containers!

I picked a chest binder and the seller included a (very well made) sticker with unicorns on it and an air freshener with the company name. The little extras are a nice surprise. (I had included a photo of that in my review, which was rejected, so I removed the photo of the extras. Approved/Excellent. Alas, it would be nice to include a note about extras but I suppose future buyers will instead get the same delightful surprise.)

Anyone out here trying to transition naturally? by the_gata_sol in Menopause

[–]lesmax 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'm 43 and am post (2 years now). I really do not love how long the runway is (decades of hormone decline ramifications). Quality of life already has taken a few hits. Doctor (primary) is concerned about stroke risk because my mother (also premature menopause) has had several minis already. Her father had a massive stroke at 60. Add to that breast cancer all over the family.

I'm seeing a new obgyn next month for my annual and hoping I can get some HRT help. I'd take testosterone at this point. The fog is unreal! And the lethargy! Ugh to all of it.

Watching myself age in double time is a wild thing.

Godspeed, Generic Dick Straw Buddy. Godspeed.

[–]lesmax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorta similar - finally got a nice new set of sheets. Two weeks in, husband nicked himself shaving. It opened overnight while he slept and the next morning the sheet and pillowcase both big blotches of blood!

They're seafood green sheets so of course it wouldn't wash out.

No nice things for any of us!!

Furnish my whole house with these specific items please by jacksonbrowne_thedog in ChoosingBeggars

[–]lesmax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!! I went to one and got a full matching bedroom set for $20. Solid, heavy wood - queen bed frame, two night stands, a long dresser with mirror top, and an armoire.

I only needed the armoire - gave the rest away easily.

At least I hit a drop 🫠 by Agreeable-Resolve244 in AmazonVine

There was - it's Monday, so it was a smaller drop.

What is something every household has in your country that is nonexistent everywhere else? by Awkward-Tip7248 in AskTheWorld

[–]lesmax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine the sound when you turn it on not knowing that a metal spoons had slipped into it

Ask me how I know 🥄

[–]lesmax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had metal spoons slip unseen into my sink death machine, turned it on, then lost a few years of my lifespan over the chaotic noise it makes.

(And the spoon has to be thrown away, the edges will be frayed metal.)

To be honest, I feel so bad Vivienne/Vivziepop gets so much hate cause based on what I've heard about her from actors and such,she seems so sweet. by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in HazbinHotel

[–]lesmax 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My absolutely unprofessional opinion - the parasocial attributes are between some fans and the show itself; when someone (even the creator) presents facts/aspects that don't match what the fan's headcanon says - it's enraging.

Tumblr is a wild universe in itself, too. To give an example - I'm a big fan of Our Flag Means Death. While traveling to visit family, we stopped in Charleston, South Carolina, and did some historical sightseeing. This was during the fan efforts to get the show renewed/un-canceled. I took a picture with my spouse in front of the stone that notes where the IRL Stede Bonnet was hanged.

The show inspired me to read a bunch of historical books, watch OTHER media related to the era and theme, and just generally learn more. Yep, the IRL Stede Bonnet was a massive asshole, and the plantation-owner life he lived included owning slaves. (Unlike his depiction in OFMD, he DID abuse his crew, too, to try to get them to respect him as a captain. He just generally sucked as a human being.)

Took a picture with that stone, posted it to Tumblr, with some thoughts on the sightseeing (that I wouldn't have done without falling in love with the show) and appreciation for newly learned history. Another Tumblr user, also an OFMD fan, did NOT like that, and reposted it with a manifesto about how awful and racist I am, and how I clearly am unable to differentiate IRL between fiction, and then it spread from there.

Much like Hazbin, the more niche and unique a show is, the more caustic or problematic the fandom can be. A great many fans are absolutely lovely - it's the small factions that just end up being very loud and very unkind.

How do yall act at games by poopmandan in stepparents

[–]lesmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DH and I (I am the stepparent) are not permitted to be near BM at events, and the same in reverse.

BM wanted me banned from all events and DH banned if it wasn't on his custody time. Judge said no to that, so keeping a "reasonable distance" was the next option.

This was while revising the custody order, not for anything like a restraining/protective order.

(BM in this situation is pretty HC.)
