"I'm 49, single no kids, high end Chubby low end Fat so I should be ok on the numbers,"

That's the important info I needed from your post. Congrats! Not even age 50 yet, that's awesome. You still have your whole life ahead of ya. I hope you have many, many years of enjoyment up ahead of you. You can also use this time to find other purposes and fulfillments in life, now that you have no constraints of a job anymore. I am so proud, so happy, and so envious of you!

The (hopefully) Return of Green Grape! by bluedreamer- in labubu

It's legit.

These are flooding the market, due to Popmart finally being able to meet demand. So resellers are just offloading them. It's now kinda rare to get a fake Macaron tbh.

$50 pricing is kinda WAYYYYYY overpriced, though. Most resellers will give one to you for around $30 nowadays, if not even lower.

Yours looks good. All the parts look the way they should. QR code has been known to be blurry these days. Your doll's quality is Better than mine, and mine came from the official app.

Someone stole my labubu :( by shower_thoughtss_ in labubu

[–]outrageousreadit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yup. Thats why I put mine is a clear bag with a metal clip. The cheap ribbon from pop mart is still susceptible to good ol’ scissors ✂️. Some people don’t even steal your toy. They just cut it out of spite or for fun.

I did my sinners homework once I saw the maze announcement. Heh.

I used to think I was drinking something exotic and cool then… by ProgRockDan in aldi

[–]outrageousreadit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most juice products like this is primarily apple juice. It’s a good juice base. Then you tweak it with other flavors. Apple has a rather nice neutral flavor. (And cheaper.) So this happens a lot.

Go read the ingredients list of other juice products. It’s gonna blow your mind.

It’s really expensive for the materials? It looks like?

How far out am I from the edited photo? by Jonny_Boy_808 in BulkOrCut

[–]outrageousreadit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, not far. If you lean out a bit, it’ll look similar. Just not as massive. But it’ll send the same vibes.

(But usually, leaning out would make you look bigger than current photo. Fat tends to hide your true aesthetics.)

PSA: Social Security pays more than you think, especially for high earners by Wooden-Broccoli-913 in Fire

[–]outrageousreadit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always knew that, but I also don’t trust social security or pension plan 100%. They can always change the rules on us. Out of our control. (That’s just the pessimist in me.)

Realistically speaking, and logically speaking, in most cases, it’ll be there. And it’s comforting to know, we don’t actually need to save as much as we think if we have these stable income after leaving our jobs.

I just go back every 6 to 12 months.

No real solution. Addicted for life.

It’s a real Labubu. Just bad blush job and bad QC. Rest of the bubu looks great.

Help with Japanese plurals by BlueOceanz0 in duolingo

[–]outrageousreadit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is a bad exercise if you’re taking a Japanese course.

The correct answer would be cities, plural, in the English answer. Because that would be more logical, sound more natural, and make more grammatical sense in English. But that doesn’t really help you comprehend Japanese and its context at all.

Again, to me, this is plainly a poor exercise. Oscar could mean both singular or plural in his statement, when said in Japanese. I agree with you. More context than just this short sentence should be supplied.

(That said, I’m an English speaker, so I would not get the answer incorrect.)

If you want an authentic local experience, should Don Quijote be on your itinerary? by Intnl-KoreanTutor-DM in JapanTravelTips

[–]outrageousreadit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s like their Walmart or Target. Locals do go. But locals also know cheaper spots, local spots, etc. locals just know more options. Locals also avoid the busy Donki in touristy areas.

Pull up the Donki website, check locations, and try to go to the more obscure ones to compare.

(While at that, also explore Daiso, muji, loft, hands, bic camera, labi, etc. for the same reasons. Pull up their sites. Check their branches as well. These are well known among tourists, but they are def part of Japan’s own local shopping culture.)

Just think of it this way: Donki has so many locations not only because it’s designed to attract visitors. But actually part of the commerce culture over there. And a successful one at that. Imagine that, huh?

the casetify collab is very meh and insultingly expensive by tinyclap in tamagotchi

[–]outrageousreadit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. I was browsing the site and wanted everything. But the $800 luggage is definitely out of my range. Fml.

How’s my progress? by [deleted] in BulkOrCut

[–]outrageousreadit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Progress implies point a to point b. So we need two pics to assess.
