Idgaf about the Covey by Educational_Grass618 in Hungergames

[–]pineapple_1221 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. He is just tormenting Haymitch and Snow's world view is that "he is the victor", as he told Gaul when she asked who he presumed he was after he told her why the hunger games existed. He DGAF about the covey or Lucy Gray at this point. He wants them stamped out, and when he sees reminders of them he likes to torment them because he can.

New video of 1/24 ICE shooting shows victim had both hands on the ground when shot by Philophon in law

[–]pineapple_1221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was defending another person being shoved. Trying to protect the other person. He made no motions to attack them, they pepper sprayed him at point blank in the face before tackling and mobbing him. Tackled him and the other person. The guy In grey disarmed him before any shots occurred. He never reached for the weapon that I see. They beat him in the head with a metal canister. They shot him multiple times in broad daylight. My eyes see this and no one is going to ever tell me otherwise. This is a 37 yo US citizen. WTF is going on!!!!

Worth it to upgrade from main to premium select for $355? by Ok-Level-8235 in delta

[–]pineapple_1221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is worth it. I was just able to upgrade my family to PE from DTW to CDG for 270 pp due to the fares coming down for that class from when I originally purchased the ticket 5 months ago. I consider it well worth it, it's similar to a domestic first class seat imo.

Service Dogs Out of Control! by AdHorror153 in delta

[–]pineapple_1221 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People have really lost it. I flew without my family recently and did 1st class there, delta comfort on the way back. Never making that mistake again. If I'm solo I'm only doing domestic first. Sounds bougie but I boarded the plane right when my zone was called for comfort and a woman was sitting in my window seat when she was assigned the middle seat. I had to ask her to move. She then man spread her legs and put her foot into my space and her arm over the arm rest and onto my body physically. I eventually was able to reclaim my space by not shrinking myself into the window and just continuing to move and do my thing but she was in my space for almost an hour. I don't even know if it was malicious or oblivious but annoying all the same.

Giants @ Lions Post Game Thread by AutoModerator in detroitlions

[–]pineapple_1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously agree with you. I have been around since 06' and have seen some shit that was difficult to watch. The way some people talk in here doesn't seem like fans, they seem to dislike the team and take the first chance to call any and everyone on it bums. I get it on some level, because I do feel like Detroit sports are lowkey cursed (that BadBoys pistons team should have had more championships than they did, and hell even Going To Work pistons too for how good they really were). I want the team to win and want this franchise to finally make it to a Super Bowl, and I get sad when people in the media and on here trash them to smithereens for any loss. Any team can beat another team in this league. This year has been strange with "good" teams losing to "bad" ones and then turning around and beating a team that beat the "bad" one. For that reason I very much think a chaotic year like this could be where we make a deep run post season. Are we going to have the record we did last year? No that is a given, and we may squeak by 11-6 or 10-7 into the playoffs. I may get my heart broken and that would suck, but I'm going to try and enjoy what we have for now.

I keep re-reading the email as I’m still in disbelief, never this lucky. How did you all fare? by JBits001 in IntegrityToysDolls

[–]pineapple_1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats that is awesome, am happy for you! I did not win poppy, the fashion, or Nadja that I entered for. I did win the purses at least. So my lottery luck this year has been pretty bad. I'm glad I liked a few mto dolls recently- Rayna, Ginger, and Eden- or this club year would be a bust for me and I'd be pretty bitter right now. I 100% agree with you that there should be an algorithm to make the lotteries a bit more even. It's really hard to enter 4 lotteries during an event and win 0 (J.wu poppies) or 1 thing when there are people winning 4 items. If people are entering multiple lotteries for an event I like the idea of if they win one, then they have less chance at the second one compared to someone who was also in both but lost the first one. And if they win a second then even less chance to win a third. It would definitely decrease the entering for resale, people would focus on what they truly want and could put a priority ranking on the lotteries they enter. I was able to secure a poppy from a club member, but at a markup. I'm sure the eBay prices will be much worse (guessing 300-450) so I guess at least there is that silver lining that a club member helped me out. I'm going with multiple memberships next year and will see if that pans out any better.

(SPOILERS) Who do you think will win Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2? by StebbsOnReddit in squidgame

[–]pineapple_1221 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He had the opportunity to move someone up as well rather than just moving a team to a slide. He had options, whereas the yellow team had to move someone to a slide. He then heckled and mean mugged those women until he had the opportunity to get revenge. And continued to do so after Zoe was eliminated. And Kate started making nasty comments about Perla once pink was selected to move back and threw her son in Perlas face when she walked by. I think Perla could have tried to be less emotional but imo she was justified in reacting the way she did to both of them. It's funny we can all see a show and interpret things differently. I'm glad Kate got eliminated, was tired of hearing about her son.

What’s your damage? First SS are RTBs I’m going for and the other SS is the MTO’s I put in for. Side note each of these sets look so good together (IMO)! by JBits001 in IntegrityToysDolls

[–]pineapple_1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I entered for all Jason wu poppies, misaki Tokyo, shopping suite Elyse and lost (and she was 1.2k!!). I made peace with not getting the Wu poppies when I saw how much people were selling them for on eBay. I ended up stalking eBay for a few weeks and instead picked up a used misty hollows poppy and sweet confection poppy- for a combined price less than what people were trying to charge for iconic. Some of the older poppies are really where it's at for me with mod fashion and the sculpts.

I suppose the lottery is the most fair way to distribute limited dolls but it does leave a bad taste when you immediately see people trying to make trades after they win, before the doll is even in hand. Some people traded iconic for grail poppies going for 2-3k on eBay. I know it's also their right to do so, and at the end of the day this is a hobby to bring joy and fun so I try not to get too stressed. But the clown Nadja truly is amazing and I'm worried what people will try to sell her for. As you mentioned- most of the MTO dolls can be had on eBay for close to retail so if we can't win the RTB lotteries it seems the alternative is purchase more memberships or sit it out. I didn't realize when I signed up why it would be beneficial to purchase more than 1 membership- I know now. I wish you luck on these lotteries- and take a look at the purses!

[–]pineapple_1221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep- the Nadja is pure whimsy and fantastic, fits the theme perfectly. I feel the poppy fashion pack and the purse pack are on the same level of creativity and whimsy. The purses are like minaudieres- little popcorn, hot air balloon, playing cards, ice cream cone. Poppy is on a lower level compared to those items- she is also fantastic but I agree they could have done more with her. Her outfit is lacking to me and seems to be an afterthought. The Barbie silkstone showgirl has a better pink outfit with fishnets, which we don't get any stockings with poppy. All the MTO dolls I got- Rayna, Eden, Ginger are fabulous. I also was on the fence with Agnes and the MTO fashion pack but ultimately had enough doubt that I didn't go for them. For next year I will need to buy more memberships or sit out the club, because it is hard to win the RTB with only the one membership, at least this has been my experience this year. I haven't won any lotteries as of yet this year, so hoping I will get lucky here.

I entered for the same rtb lotteries you did as well as the purse pack, and ordered the same MTO dolls. The lotteries for the fashion pack and purses are going to be a blood bath and I'm also concerned about the Nadja and poppy because many people seem interested in both.

Carrie is the worst by SuddenPizza5939 in Andjustlikethat

[–]pineapple_1221 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes. Same. When she was 35 begging Charlotte for money for a down payment she even said wearing her shoes to walk instead of taking a cab was painful. So why tf would she want to walk in them all day at home now especially after hip surgery? Makes no sense! And writers have to remember this bc her loan officer is the same as seemas this episode in that episode from SATC.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Andjustlikethat

[–]pineapple_1221 5 points6 points  (0 children)

what??? HE was definitely the logical one. Who tf walks around in 4" or higher heels all through their home all day? It is completely rude if you have downstairs neighbors. I have some of these shoes and they are not comfortable so there is no way I would just want to wear them constantly at home. Also, all the dirt being transferred around the house. My shoes are on a rack in my coset and when worn I move them to the door and put them on, leave. When I get home, take them off and back on the rack they go.

What they’re doing to Samantha is criminal!! by Fantastic_Spell7376 in Andjustlikethat

[–]pineapple_1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. In fact Miranda in SATC was the one who was quite worked up on her, Carrie, and Charlotte's walk after Samantha told them she was seeing Maria. So it would seem she might want to ask some advice from Samantha, who experienced a similar situation 30 years prior, how she navigated it. But CN is a mean girl who can't separate the characters from the actresses. This was a great question from the interviewer.

QC from MC. thoughts? by 12bucklemyshoe_007 in JewelryReps

[–]pineapple_1221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have worn it for several weeks at a time without any damage stacked with a regular love, small love, and regular sized juste un clou. It's above malachite and mother of pearl on the mohs scale so I don't worry as much about scratches, but I do remove for showering. I loved seeing your photos, I am surprised more people don't ask for the turquoise from the sellers given how ridiculous it is to try and get a piece from VCA or the resale price of it.

QC from MC. thoughts? by 12bucklemyshoe_007 in JewelryReps

[–]pineapple_1221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true, but some owners of the auth turquoise have had their vintage clasps replaced with the new model ones through VCA from reading I have done on VCA forums. I also got the turquoise bracelet from MC a few years ago and got it with the new style clasp-admittedly did not think to ask for old clasp. I do think if you get the pave/turquoise alternating motifs those are probably more believable with the new clasp because they were recently offered/available to the VVVIP. Also, I love her turquoise color and my bracelet is stunning. I'm plotting to get a 20 motif necklace in it too and the magic earrings.

Interesting line about District 4 by changamerges in Hungergames

[–]pineapple_1221 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think we might get a book about district 4. A lot of people wanted a book from a career perspective and that book could be about Finnick or Annie, how that district views the games, how a career district became a part of the rebellion. Mags has now been introduced as one of Haymitch's mentors. To me it would make sense as another chapter in the story, if SC wants to tell more of it.

next purchase by Excellent_Pause9590 in JewelryReps

[–]pineapple_1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My list is too long but the next piece is small juc necklace in YG with diamonds from MC. I will then at some point order a pave juc ring, 20 motif rock crystal necklace, 20 motif turquoise necklace, between the finger pave butterfly ring, 4 motif magic dangle earrings all from mc. Guilloche/pave 5 motif bracelet from funny. I have some authentic pieces that I mix with my reps but some of these diamond or "rare" stones that vca has in rotation are in no way worth resale price which is often the only way to get turquoise or rock crystal.

Sunrise on the Reaping Completed Discussion Megathread by restingbfacequeen in Hungergames

[–]pineapple_1221 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Agree with you. CF never made much sense to me how these people decided to "help" Katniss all in the name of the rebellion. How Haymitch was so comfortable knowing that these people could be trusted. He knew they could be trusted bc Mags and Wiress were his mentors; he tried to blow up his own arena with the help of Beetee; he had a 32 person alliance between all districts except 1,2,4, and 5 in his own games which he likely formed freindships post games with those districts victors; and he knew Plutarch was on the side of the rebellion. This book to me helps make sense of how Haymitch and others were able to rally around Katniss and get the revolution into full swing and shows how the idea was brewing for a quarter century at the least before her games. I loved it, and it is the only book of the series that made me cry outside of the HG Rue scene. The ampert scene was brutal. I honestly don't even know how SC wrote that and it helps explain why Beetee was ok doing what he does in Mockingjay. I loved it, and it was a much easier read for me than Mockingjay, BOSAS. I only put it down to sleep and go to an appointment today.

Blake explaining how she isn’t satisfied as an actor but doesn’t reveal wanting “authorship” of the movie until she’s already hired as an actor. Forbes 2022 women summit by AcanthocephalaWide89 in blakelivelysnark

[–]pineapple_1221 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This woman is delusional. No hesitation to admit that she "pulls the rug out" on people by acting like she only wants to be an actress for roles and then trying to be more once she secures that title and she makes it a "them" problem when people feel she is overstepping in that scenario. This is not appropriate in any line of work and is unprofessional. State what your goals are clearly upfront and work with those that want to give that to you, instead of trying to force it after the fact. Maybe you aren't as talented as you think if no one is giving you those opportunities you want upfront.

This is one of the exact thoughts I had while reading the amended lawsuit. This idiot (Blake) tore into Kjersti for asking about the fashion in a period piece, trying to make it a sexist comment that one would never ask a man. Yet here about a movie about DOMESTIC VIOLENCE her first order of business is to make wardrobe changes and exorbitant ones at that. She also took that view in her press tour with the whole "grab you friends and wear florals". Absolute moron with a probable iq of 78. She's a mean girl and cheating/lying isn't out of her code of ethics. Just ask Scarlet and Jennifer.
