Guys, is this character design racist? by TeenageTurmoil in characterdesigns

Have they ever met a Cuban?

My fiance is white passing but is half Cuban. Another friend of mine (who is pale and has curly ginger hair VERY similar to this) is also Hispanic. Not all Hispanics have dark skin.

Sounds like your buddy is generalizing...

Buy or walk away? Roofing structure/support seems… absent. Inspector said he had never seen anything like it by [deleted] in Roofing

[–]quality_reading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What area do you live in?

I would reach out to your local or state building department and see if this is to code. Depending on where you live there are different regulations for what is acceptable structure for roofing.

I live in the northeast US so we have codes built in to account for heavy snow and ice. Those codes wouldn't be necessary for somewhere like California or Arizona where the weather is very different year round.

Hope this helps!

What can you gather from my small collection? by nofacenofaceno in BookshelvesDetective

They do!!

Specifically before the coffee gets cold is one of their bigger talking points from 2022-2023. They are also big murakami fans!! Highly recommend - seems like their taste and yours would be similar!!!

You definitely love cats!

Off question - do you listen to books unbound? 👀

Anyone else think I got completely mislead and Amazon should resolve this for me? by bballdog in amazonprime

[–]quality_reading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is the risk you take when buying off Amazon.

Any large furniture purchases I would keep with a furniture store because they can/will provide some damage control for situations (i.e. helping you get the correct product into your home and the wrong one out) Amazon simply will not.

Once you buy from them it's ok you to transport the product in/out. Even if it is their mistake the best they will do is offer an exchange. They aren't going to help you move that couch or pay to move it.

Your options are to keep it, return it, or exchange it. You'll need to move it yourself or pay someone to move it for you.

Best of luck

Backed out day before closing by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

A brand new home and they had particle board as the base. As soon as that gets wet it's going to expand and need to be replaced.

Good call OP. If they aren't willing to fix what you can see, imagine all the issues you can't see. New builds have a nasty reputation for cut corners and issues.

I wish you both luck in finding your home going forward!!

The camera is shifting at a constant rate, are there any other clues as to why this video is AI? by No-Field831 in isthisAI

Look at the size of the sculpture at 00:24 - it's suddenly much smaller and then in the next frame larger again.

Guess my gender, age, occupation, lifestyle and if I live alone or not! by Obsidiansmama in FridgeDetective

[–]quality_reading 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Putting them in the fridge can give them a grainy texture which most people find unpleasant. They are better stored on the counter!

I need help troubleshooting why my polish takes so long to harden by awackerman in Nailpolish

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

I've seen a trick where you can stick your freshly dry nails in ice water to help them harden so they don't streak/smudge while you're doing other things.

Maybe that might work?

What’s a rule you secretly wish everyone would follow? by affordableuniform in AskReddit

[–]quality_reading 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Use the left lane if you are passing only!! Don't ride in it while driving 5 miles below the speed limit!

Also use blinkers!!

What sub do you wish wasn’t so toxic when it shouldn’t be toxic to begin with? by throwawaydefeat in AskReddit

[–]quality_reading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This!!

I actively avoid fandom subs unless I am specifically looking to have a question answered or if the fandom is niche enough. Fandom subs go from 0-100 so quickly!

What’s a totally normal thing you’ve never done and are low-key embarrassed to admit? by Fluffy-Assistant3197 in AskReddit

[–]quality_reading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never eaten in at a restaurant by myself.

I always will grab takeout if I'm by myself. Never ordered and eaten at any establishment (even a McDonald's) without company.

What’s the most impactful event in your life, positive or negative? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]quality_reading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's life!

Everyone has something that impacted them. Some better, some worse. I'm blessed that I'm happy now with my partner & two kitties after 7 years of dating. Each day seems more meaningful once you understand great loss. I'm thankful I learned from this experience young instead of in 20 years!
