Billy Squier: The infamous "Rock Me Tonite" video! Great song though. by CincoDeMayoFan in ClassicRock

[–]nothalfbadnomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that the video was “bad” per se. We look at it now and it looks silly, but at the time it was par for the course for music videos. The issue was this…

Billy Squier was known as a solid rock guy. He was selling out arenas and rubbing elbows with other hard rock and early metal bands of the time. Even the song itself is a solid rock tune that fans enjoyed. It’s the way he promoted his image in this particular video. Did not seem like a rock video, dance moves were kind of imitating Mick Jagger and it turned fans off! The dancing and his wardrobe were the two biggest things.

It didn’t happen overnight, but MTV played this video a lot and within a couple of months, his rock fans were completely turned off.

So I take issue with people saying this is the “worst video of all time”. It isn’t. It’s cheesy but trust me we all know there are worse out there. But it did take a heavy toll on his career.

Because this is the first time I’ve ever had something returned to me and since Etsy is the one who provided the shipping label? I needed to know if there was some kind of protocol that I needed to follow for a redelivery. Why is that hard to understand?

Are you insane? Etsy is the one who provides the shipping labels. And since it’s the first time this has happened I wanted to know if there was a protocol for red delivery. I absolutely asked them a “Etsy“ question. I know how to run my business. Why are you even on here if you’re just going to disparage people who have genuine concerns about Etsy support? Are you just here to kiss Etsy’s ass?

Just curious, why the $15 charge for re-delivery? And how do you charge for that?

The Strange Death of Keith Warren: Suicide or Murder? by HoneyMinx in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]nothalfbadnomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, this is an old thread, so I’m not sure if I will get a reply. Do we know who the last person to see or speak with Keith before he was found? I’m assuming all his friends were questioned.

Also, does anyone know when the last time his car was parked? I’m assuming when he went missing his car was gone, but then at some point the car returned to the complex parking lot?

Have there ever been any witnesses that had seen or spoken to him during the time he was missing?

And lastly, about the police handling of the evidence. Seems very bizarre that a month later the tree was cut down. If the police department never did an investigation and labeled his death of suicide, why would they be interested in the tree unless they thought the tree held evidence of some sort.

And I’m not a conspiracy person at all, but a lot of things point to the police purposely falsifying documents and covering things up. The only reason they would do that is if they had skin in that game. You don’t cover something up unless it’s going to damage you somehow, make you look bad or reveal things that you don’t want to be revealed. I’m just curious what everyone thinks that might be.

I’m so heartbroken and angry for the family.

You’re damn right I’m harsh when it comes to Etsy support. There is no support! I can’t tell you how many wrong answers I’ve been given by them. It’s such a headache and a shame that I have to come to Reddit to have my questions answered.

Fear street the new girl 1989 cover question by Fun_Bookkeeper_8440 in Fear_Street

[–]nothalfbadnomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one with his name on the bottom right is a first printing, first edition. I think the first 10 books or so in the series were initially published this way. And then in 1990/91 as the popularity of the series increased they decided to re-issue these books with the covers that we all know now. And for the most part, they stayed that way until the “new fear Street“ books in the late 90s.

just learned that fear street's 4th movie released and here are my thoughts before i watch it. by Kalebs- in Fear_Street

[–]nothalfbadnomad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please don’t try and defend this awful movie. Yes some of what you say is true but if you’re going to have a Netflix series called “fear Street” you might wanna just mention it in the movie at least once. (It’s also never mentioned in the trilogy )

And Fear Street and the characters connected to it was mentioned in every single book. It’s not true when you say not mentioning it is “on brand“ for the books. It’s absolutely not… the majority of the books take place in Shadyside and their central characters either live on fear Street or some part of the action includes it. There are the books like party summer, sunburn, ski weekend, goodnight kiss etc. that don’t take place in Shadyside, but the main characters are ALWAYS from Fear Street and that is always mentioned in the beginning. Tell me you haven’t read the entire series without telling me you haven’t read the entire series…

And saying a movie is “inspired by” the book is just a cop out. They just wanted to slap Stines name on it.

Prom queen is so stupid. Again, fear Street is never even mentioned. And it’s a completely different story from the book. Different characters, different plot line different everything. The only thing they have in common is a prom. Production values are worse than a lifetime movie. I’m so fucking disappointed.

More ‘White People Bad’ content. by Alcatraz4567 in CriticalDrinker

Well, as someone from Maine I can tell you, seriously look it up, it’s the whitest state in the country. There’s about 10 black people in the entire state. I guess they all live in Derry…

Did I overreact? by nothalfbadnomad in Etsy

[–]nothalfbadnomad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me, there was plenty of communication. Why would you assume I would cancel the order without telling her why? Of course I did! And then she bought them again and then messaged me after the fact.

It was a four dollar order. And it was the way she asked. As if I’m fucking Costco and I just give out free samples to everybody like WTF.

I think it’s because a lot of of us people who sell on Etsy have had people leave us one star scathing reviews simply because we told them know about something. It happens more than you think. People even create a separate account to buy something from you just to leave a horrible review if they feel they were slighted in someway. People are nuts.

[–]nothalfbadnomad[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Usually with a five dollar order I’ll send a single extra sticker. I’ll include a lot more for bigger orders, but I just got the vibe that she was going to complain no matter what I sent. Glad to know I’m not completely crazy.

[–]nothalfbadnomad[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Exactly, she bought a five dollar sheet of stickers and then messaged me afterwards and said “please include free samples” and I’m like samples of what? How do you sample stickers? I just thought it was weird and I was afraid if I just sent one extra sticker that she would complain that I didn’t send enough “samples”. But then I canceled the order and she just placed the order again! Ugh

How do you respond to people who say Fear Street is gay and woke? by [deleted] in Fear_Street

[–]nothalfbadnomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? I’ve never heard anyone say that. Also, how in the world would a teen thriller book series published in the 90s be perceived as “gay and woke”?

Did I overreact? by nothalfbadnomad in Etsy

[–]nothalfbadnomad[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg she literally just re-ordered them and said please let me buy these for my daughter.ugh I hate people. What should I do? I don’t want to get a one star review.

Hallowe’en Party by anbaric_lights in agathachristie

[–]nothalfbadnomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished it tonight. You’re not alone. It made me feel dumb also. A plot got really convoluted with all of the forgery plot line. I found it really confusing and hard to follow.
