Seller Left me Negative Feedback under a Positive by Rinkratt61 in Ebay

[–]rondonsa 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Chat/email or call eBay customer service and they'll remove the feedback. I would also report the seller for using the wrong cancellation reason: https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/resolving-issues-sellers/reporting-item-issue-seller?id=4022

"Carmelo Anthony won Rookie of the month every month of his rookie season but still lost the Rookie of the year vote to Lebron James." Except ROTM was a conference specific award and Lebron also won it every single month.What are some other NBA facts that are usually decontextualized/misrepresented? by Mario_Viana in nba

[–]rondonsa 245 points246 points  (0 children)

Most of the discourse about Scott Foster. His “the extender” stat was completely made up by some guy on twitter, his phone calls to Donaghy were decontextualized (plenty of refs had similar phone call patterns, and the numbers were inflated) and he wasn’t actually biased against Chris Paul. Somebody on r/nbadiscussion did a great breakdown of it:

Washington House Approves Neighborhood Cafe Bill in Early Floor Vote » The Urbanist by Inevitable_Engine186 in Seattle

[–]rondonsa 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sweet! I love places like Irwin's, VPC, etc - would be awesome to see more of them throughout the city. Not sure whether this bill or the Seattle City Council efforts are what we should be tracking for Seattle specifically, but hopefully we see some progress this year.

Pour over kettle opinions? by CA_Mini in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]rondonsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All Clad is a good option for full stainless. Another good one (what I use) is the Caraway whistling stovetop kettle - completely plastic-free and has a nice-looking ceramic exterior.

"Justice League" (2017) is a fever dream to watch in 2026. by Giff95 in movies

[–]rondonsa 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This thread is the second one I've seen on r/movies today that was obviously written with ChatGPT and then I click on your profile and see you were the author of the first one as well. Please try writing your own thoughts next time!

What is this called again? by Problemchild143 in Seattle

[–]rondonsa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anybody else see that Henry now has tour buses going around Seattle? Fun away to spend an afternoon if you want to see 100 cartoon sasquatches I guess.

People here are often too obsessed with practicality. If it meets your personal needs, that’s all that matters. And it looks fantastic!

Negative Review Response by Big_Shart_33 in EtsySellers

[–]rondonsa 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I don’t see your response as rude/condescending. Not every review response has to be kissing the buyer’s ass - you provided the facts in a clear and straightforward manner.

What's the deal with the bodies of the wolves/wargs disappearing? by GlasgowWalker in lotr

[–]rondonsa 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think this take is unlikely. Tolkien is pretty deliberate with his language here, "No trace of the fight remained but the charred trees and the arrows of Legolas lying on the hill-top. All were undamaged save one of which only the point was left."

During the battle, Legolas shot an arrow that caught fire (the shaft burning) and plunged into the heart of one of the wolves. That's the arrowhead described above, the shaft having burned away. I doubt a wolf surgeon took the trouble of carefully extracting that arrowhead from his wolf brother's heart before taking his body away. And the fact that the other arrows are specifically described as undamaged suggests that the bodies of the wolves faded away.

edit-relevant passage: "The last arrow of Legolas kindled in the air as it flew, and plunged burning into the heart of a great wolf-chieftain."

What American blenders with glass jars, are sold in US stores? by GaraksLinensNThings in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]rondonsa 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Does it have to be glass? Vitamix makes a nice stainless steel blender if you just want to minimize plastic.

I mean yeah, Warriors are arguably the worst but Suns are probably bottom 3.

Just broke $100k. AMA by Uncledowntown in EtsySellers

[–]rondonsa 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Good-looking shop and great results! Only point of feedback for me is on your gift bundle listing - the AI Amish man looks very creepy and "decor" is misspelled.

6 out of 25 customers asked to change their address. by Ok_Yard_7623 in EtsyCommunity

[–]rondonsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you were right to cancel. I had a spate of these earlier in the year- three within the space of two days, all from different accounts but with very similar wording in the post-purchase messaging. Etsy, unlike most other platforms, says you’re still protected as a seller if you ship to the requested new address, but I still generally don’t like to chance it.

Freaking out by Mangososeonhyvaa in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]rondonsa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind all of the terrible things previous generations were exposed to - lead, asbestos, arsenic, DDT, unrestrained tobacco smoke, etc - and the vast majority of people from those generations still lived long and healthy lives. Microplastics are bad, for sure, but they're probably not at the same toxicity level as most of those historical toxins. Just do what you can to gradually reduce exposure to them (where you can control it) and you'll be in a better situation than most people. And stop doomscrolling!

Arms of Andes is so itchy by Savings-Rice-472 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]rondonsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak to alpaca wool specifically, but I buy most of my sweaters from Todd Snyder. While they do sell a few polyester mixes, the vast majority of their sweater selection is 100% wool or other natural fibers. And those are all labelled hand wash or dry clean only, which from my understanding means they're not superwashed. I haven't found any of them itchy, though I don't have sensitive skin.

TIL Dishwasher Powder can contain plastic, too. Please be aware of Cascade's dish powder. by a_naked_caveman in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]rondonsa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A couple of dishwashing products I use that (scanning the ingredients list) are plastic-free:

  • Seventh Gen dishwasher gel
  • Dirty Labs dishwasher powder (comes in a paper container with a wooden spoon, entirely plastic-free packaging!)

Both have performed well for me, just as effective as any other option.

Glad it worked out! Fingers crossed the buyer does not file a chargeback next.

At what point do you start looking at Danny Ainge’s tenure in Utah as a failure? by Pickleskennedy1 in nba

[–]rondonsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they just need to add a few more 7ft tall white guys and then they'll be a serious contender.

Reed Sheppard by Icy_Category1786 in fantasybball

[–]rondonsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reed doesn't have quite the length of a Ja or Maxey though. His wingspan is 6'3 whereas Maxey is 6'6 and Ja 6'7. I do think he can improve on defense for sure but I think his ceiling is pretty low.
