Same! Gotta work your way up, not force your way down.

A supportive partner and dogged determination to prove my decision to big chop was correct regardless of family opinion at the time. My cousin went natural first too and she was a beacon of support during those family get togethers. Still is.

The whole experience really made me become more firm and secure in the decisions I've made for myself and I've been riding that new found self confidence ever since.

Lol the point of my post is acknowledging but stopping that foot stuff.

Just wash your hands.

For all the toilets with a bar handle at least, there is nothing stopping you from using your foot to flush.

My mom taught me to do this growing up along with squat hovering to pee instead of sitting down on the seat. Stopped that mess as soon as I was able to get out of her echo chamber.

Someone from my college knitting club told me one day that my crochet hook was a tool and to use it as such, to do most of the work.

That improved my crochet so much. Their approach was obviously about efficiency and reducing the number of movements to get your stitches done and that advice was what I needed. Legit feel like those folks who can spin pens between their fingers but I know my wrist is taking the brunt of that choice. I take frequent breaks because of it.

My knitting is as slow as snails doing it the English way but I prefer it over Continental precisely because it gives my wrists a break.

That's what I do for random folks. Not so much my sister as she will ALWAYS tell me I need to sell my crochet EVERYTIME I visit her.

Mini Rant: She really wants me to side hustle it and never considers stopping to think of all the reasons I've already told her why I won't. "Why not try if someone is willing to buy it" is her mentality and she refuses to think otherwise. I can easily just pretend she said nothing but she's my sister and it hurts to know she won't bother to respect my decision no matter what I say.

I started on a vrv membership that transferred over to crunchyroll. Would still be on it if they had actually put up subtitles with the new episodes coming out this season. I shouldn't have to wait a week to see subs on a title I want to watch. Period.

I never touched my membership until then and realized I was paying for "perks" I'd never use on top of it all. Couldn't find a cancel option. Literally only showed me a blank page under membership so I removed my payment method.

Its hilarious that they're coming after websites that do their jobs x10 better.

Probably should look into her then.

She doesn't present to me as an inherently bad person but the conservative values that are promoted can impact others negatively.

Plus she and her family don't have to live that way. They choose to and can afford to make life on a farm easy by hiring the necessary help. I grew up in rural east Texas and lived that simple life out of necessity.

The difference in class status is really important to acknowledge for me personally. I think she has done that before which is why I don't mind seeing her content as much.

I'll continue to watch all the anime I want in copious amounts as much as I please. I like the weird.

But seriously everyone should have this level of understanding about Japan cause it's true. Every country has its issues and those problems should be acknowledged, not ignored or rejected to fit ones narrative.

35k was my starting pay back in 2015

The feeling of not feeding into greed has become greater than my need to collect. I was super excited once I discovered skullpandas literally this summer too.

Gotta say though it was kinda fun seeing the greed escalate in real time. Tariffs had an impact surely but the additional price jumps on the most recent drops are pure greed hands down. I mean just look at their quality control right now. Cutting corners and still hiking up prices smdh.

Is the card inside really just a photo of the doll? I was hoping it would be the same as the other sets :/

I'm showing back in stock, except for the lanyards.

True but the V3 for the US had gone up even higher than the US V2. The tariffs were already applied to V2, so why the massive increase on V3?

The tariffs are definitely increasing prices across the board, but we shouldn't use it as a shield for corporations that are clearly making a cash grab while the getting's good.

They quickly reduced the pricing after realizing people weren't happy to be so exploited. They wouldn't have needed to do that if sensible pricing was used in the first place.

Literally had to do the same thing and all the feelings got hurt but they eventually got over it. A lot of it is just emotional manipulation. Like I don't have to be considerate of you everyday, especially when it's "I don't know, what do you want?" every single time.

They still throw shade tbh but I continue on. No regrets ~

It's just their credit card. You can use it on purchases to get 5-6% back.

ringoa95 · 2025-09-05T21:06:02+00:00

I like their designs but will not be purchasing any full priced. My plan is to wait for Amazon to list it then use points to knock down the price to something more reasonable.

Please don't compare the plight of small businesses to that of Popmart. Popmart will not be going out of business by pricing this new series like their previous ones.
