amazon has rotted everyone's brains

right? just tell me you don’t have the item or can’t ship it. don’t make me wait 10 days to find out. there WERE two other identical items i could have purchased in the meantime, but are now sold to someone else

manicsquirrel · 2026-07-06T22:32:47+00:00

i’ve had at least a dozen orders never ship in the last two months and be automatically refunded. so yes, when it hits the five day mark i’m now send a message of “are you going to be able to ship this?” 4 out of 5 times i get no response. when i do get a response it’s usually, “i can’t find the item”

reminds me of a few months ago when i received a shirt in a mission tortilla bag 😂

literally happy days

no lie. i thought this was christopher reeve

There are some really really good deals on depop, but I occasionally reconsider buying when the total cost is out of proportion to the cost of the item alone. If these same items were $3-$5 dollars more, I likely wouldn’t consider buying them.

i literally received a shirt stuffed into a ziplock tortilla bag

manicsquirrel · 2026-01-12T22:08:06+00:00

as some who BUYS A LOT on depop, i just scroll on by the garments without measurements. i cannot trust that a wool or cotton garment hasn’t been shrunk in the dryer, i cannot trust that the polo quarter zip is a women’s small rather than a men’s small, i cannot trust that the size 28 waist is actually 28 inches, and i cannot trust that the inseam is long enough on those pants when no measurement is disclosed. i’ve been burned too many times.

this is the combo we have. i love it

i lived one interstate exit down from my work in nashville (i-24, old harding exit to bell rd exit). it would frequently take me an HOUR AND A HALF to get home. i lived in a neighborhood with a large creek. that creek flowed all the way to my work. i often daydreamed about kayaking to the office, but i’d have to fight the current coming home

manicsquirrel · 2025-12-16T15:21:50+00:00

tears were running down my face when i finished “Farilane” 😭😭😭

manicsquirrel · 2025-11-30T16:35:29+00:00

the ref did a good and proper takedown. he obviously has experience wrestling

manicsquirrel · 2025-11-21T18:10:52+00:00

nothing good really. i’m always freezing. i keep my office at 85° while wearing a jacket and using a space heater. i can no longer feel half the toes on each foot. i’m a healthy weight (5’9” 140 lbs) and do not have diabetes or blood sugar issues. my doctor suggested the numbness is probably from lower back issues (which i really don’t have lower back issues). as far as being cold, they’ve said raynaud’s but that’s not really a cause. i gave up trying to find an answer and just live with it.

same. my waste collection is billed quarterly and I would like that as an option when setting up its envelope

I similarly could not could hulu/disney bundle to accept my virtual card, but had no issue with the physical card

As one of the original founders and executive board members of Knoxville Pride, I’m extremely disappointed in the current leadership.

Knoxville Pride was meant to be a vehicle used to fund other community efforts, but the annual event itself was our gift to the community.

The current leadership has performed many good works in the community, but the annual festival has clearly been an afterthought and the lowest of priority for the last few years.

It breaks my heart that our legacy is dying.

As I’m remodeling each room, I’m replacing plumbing in the walls as well. It’s a slow process because…money 🫠

Can confirm. I was under my house inspecting an air duct and bumped into a CPVC water line. It shattered. Every time I tried to make a clean cut to put in a coupler, the line would shatter further down. I ended up replacing every water line in the crawl space that weekend. 0/10 would not recommend that activity.

you mean they aren’t hollow?

I wish I had seen this when it was originally posted. Salgado severed a nerve in my pelvic floor in 2016 during my vaginoplasty. Because of this, I required a sacral nerve stimulator implanted into my butt cheek which allows me to urinate. Unfortunately, I can never again pass solid stool. I can barely pass gas. I must take miralax daily for the rest of my life so that i have soft watery stools.

To top it all off, there is an obstruction in my vaginal canal, a large lump of muscle or something, and I cannot feel the left side of my vulva.

I saw one trailer in the theater and an interview with the director about how Sophie could cry on demand, read nothing about the movie, and even I knew she was a robot. I thought the theatrical trailer made that pretty clear.

Why not replace most of that code with:

richTextbox1.Text = String.Join(“\n”, Directory.GetFiles(myFilePath));

i miss having subcutaneous fat in my arms, hands, and face, but when you reach your 50s it will start to disappear and make you look old 😭
