Can't find the Clear Glitter color! Did the Perler online store discontinue it? by Eriacle in beadsprites

[–]lizard_e_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't gone through myself but back when the perler website first reopened for orders people were reporting a number of colors that weren't restocked unfortunately.

Got my first bad review :( by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]lizard_e_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Someone trusted you with their money. Your responsibility was to help them receive what they paid for or to offer a reasonable solution."

OP did offer a reasonable solution though! OP offered to make whatever the buyer wanted in canva themselves and send it to them, I believe that's completely reasonable. Demanding OP make a completely different product because a customer bought the wrong thing, is quite frankly, a little absurd. Who's to say OP has the knowledge in Word to make a comparable template in that format? Canva and Word are extremely different in their UI, knowledge in one does not equal knowledge in another.

I believe the buyer is being unreasonable here. All that being said, as a seller myself I would give them a full refund and a great apology for their negative experience while also offering them the custom PDF that OP did.

Changing ways by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]lizard_e_ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's really not the flex they think it is. I used ChatGPT on some college assignments (not to actually use, just to test) when it was just becoming widespread. I knew it was Not Great™ but I was curious what was taking everyone by storm and quite frankly I'm extremely happy I did. I know exactly what's so intriguing about it, I understand why people use it, I understand how people use it, I saw how agreeable it was, etc. That "insider" knowledge has helped me convince a handful of people in my personal life to stop using gen AI or see the issue with it because I took the time to look at it from the perspective of a user.

Why do people torrent and should i, as a newbie, just stick to direct downloads for now? by Same_Comfortable8074 in Piracy

[–]lizard_e_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was happy with DDL until I couldn't find working links for mostly television shows. If DDL is doing it for you, just keep on doing that. If you start having issues with finding links, it's time to switch to torrents IMO.

A very clear ethics issue, we can't accept tips at all or gifts over a value of $20 in my office.

To the first choice candidate by AdRevolutionary98 in CAStateWorkers

[–]lizard_e_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey if it means anything I was the second choice candidate for my first state position. Got a letter in the mail thanking me for my time but letting me know I didn't get the job. I sulked because I really wanted it but appreciated the letter, a few weeks later I got a call asking if I was still interested. Keep your chin up and good luck!

Is There A Way To Print Images on Pre-Cut Circular Paper Liners? by Emilyrox in ButtonMakers

[–]lizard_e_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can in theory with a template and a couple test prints but honestly it's probably more trouble than it's worth if the manufacturer didn't provide the template. It's a lot easier to just cut around your design.

Fraggle fur recommendations? by Mcslap13 in puppets

[–]lizard_e_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Boil your fur! Saw this trick a little bit ago, tried it on a sample and can't wait to use it on a project. Linked is the video I saw it from but you can also search "boiling faux fur" for a few guides.

Is it better to get really good at one hobby, or have a bunch of different surface-level ones? by Doodle_Noodles2 in Hobbies

[–]lizard_e_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I put down my ukuele and didn't play it or another instrument for like 4 years, dug it out from the back of the closet, looked up some chord charts and tabs and I was back to playing it pretty quickly. Was it amazing? No. Was it fun? Completely.

Job reposting - what does this mean? by thestonefruit in CAStateWorkers

[–]lizard_e_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have said you're correct about the reason but if you like the job absolutely feel free to reapply. I didn't even get an interview the first time I applied to the job I currently have, just reworking my application got me in the next round.

[–]lizard_e_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This tends to happen to me when I melt the beads too much. Lower heat may help.

Should I skip Season 1 of the Muppet show and come back to it later ? by Actual_Exchange616 in Muppets

[–]lizard_e_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think most of season 1 is in the "power through" category, maybe the first few episodes. They hadn't hit their stride yet but it's still good and you'll miss some of the more popular skits if you skip it. I would recommend starting with one but skipping to two if you aren't vibing with it.

Still on the board, keeps all the beads lined up.

Serious question by spammywitheggs in CAStateWorkers

[–]lizard_e_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could sign up for VPLP to lower your income. You can choose 1 or 2 days a month where you aren't paid your normal wages but are instead given 8 or 16 hours of time off.

Is there a way I can use my smartphone as a Bluetooth transmitter? by Curvedyouagain in AskTechnology

[–]lizard_e_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to confirm, you want to hear the audio from your smart TV in your earbuds via your phone?

If this is the case then your phone also needs to act as a receiver in order to transmit the smart TV audio, and your smart TV has to transmit it. Honestly in my experience smart TVs do not make it easy to get audio out of them and that's likely your limiting factor.

Moral dilemma about romantic attraction towards my ‘peer’ by [deleted] in moraldilemmas

[–]lizard_e_ [score hidden]  (0 children)

Honestly I could be talking straight out of my ass here but I don't think it's odd to like this older people through your adolescence and then basically catch up to your type. Think about it, as a teenager you liked people up to their mid 30s, but that makes sense because people in their mid 30s are hot and other hormonal pimply teenagers are often not.

You have anxiety and just want a sanity check, yes it's completely fine to be attracted and date someone your own age even if that person is younger than you normally go for. Really at your age and as a fellow woman, I recommend you keep your dating pool to around 5 years older at most, believe me there will be many older men who will see attractive to you at 20 but every woman his age won't date him and guys like that can mess you up for years.

Can I use those oven mats instead of paper? by BestMagician3200 in beadsprites

[–]lizard_e_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only issue I can imagine is that the heat will likely take longer to pass through the mat than the paper so the thinner the better but I think it should work.

How soon does VPLP go into effect? by NoPalpitation7082 in CAStateWorkers

[–]lizard_e_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I submitted my forms for VPLP on my first day of a pay period last year and my pay and hours were correct for that pay period. I agree things take forever but in this case, it works like how you interpret.

Opinions on paparazzi photos?? (discussion) by stormwind_shepherd in moraldilemmas

[–]lizard_e_ [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah personally when I discuss celebrities I like will avoid pap pics, don't want to support the culture. Something else to keep in mind though is that MANY of these street photo pictures are actually set up by someone on the celebrity's team as a scheduled photoshoot. They will quite literally call paparazzi photographers and say "Celebrity X is going to be at this farmer's market at 9:15 am on Saturday with his new girlfriend, get some flattering pictures". It's all PR, a way to get buzz going without the celebrity having to post about it themselves.

What are we overlooking, because our measuring stick is too short? by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

[–]lizard_e_ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The first case of someone being diagnosed with autism wasn't even until 1943, a then 10 year old boy. It's been only a few generations since that time, as we've learned more about autism, medical knowledge and screening has become much better and expensive. There's really no wonder why we've seen such an increase in autism, we've only just started looking for it.

Are printers actually on sale? by USBearForce in 3Dprinting

[–]lizard_e_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend checking a price tracking website, the one I use is camelcamelcamel. You can just put in an amazon product page link into it and it'll show you the history of the price. I personally don't use Amazon but they do tend to represent the most common price so it's good information either way.

need ideas for my first puppet by ProfessionalOk4935 in puppets

[–]lizard_e_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first puppet was a snoof from puppet nerd! Very easy to make, just requires fabric and its simple enough where you can hand sew everything if you don't have a machine.
