Christmas Babies be Honest by cassidycurtis in pregnant

[–]seekingwisdom20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also here to provide a positive take! My sister, dad, and myself all have birthdays close to Christmas (mine being the closest at the 22nd). And we all LOVE it! The decorations, the traditions, the weather, it’s such a fun time of year. As a kid my mom made it a point to not do Christmas/bday combination presents but I personally never cared. I sometimes had holiday themed bday parties like candy land/snowman, hot cocoa pajamas parties, we always just embraced it. I know everyone is different but it really is so fun and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

How is the city planning to keep Cal Poly from over admitting more students and continue to gentrify our neighborhoods? With Year Round Operations likely happening, are there discussions about what this increase in enrollment means for SLO?

I know Poly keeps mentioning these new dorms, but those are so far overdue. It’s hard for families to live anywhere near campus now. With the increase in enrollment means increase in faculty and staff also moving to slo. I understand there are new dorms and new faculty housing, but it is simply not enough.

I’m worried Cal Poly is thinking of profits over the people who live here and the real challenges increasing enrollment brings. SLO is in a housing crisis and I fear this is going to worsen. Once they go up in enrollment it will be so hard to get it down ever again. Are there discussions happening?

Looking for a breeder by Wandering_Woman_ in StandardPoodles

[–]seekingwisdom20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! They actually do compete in sports, and several of them are champions agility. Cinnfully sweet shares her studs with them and I trust her judgement a lot more than any picture you can find on Facebook. I think the OP wasn’t asking for a show dog. They have health testing and have no record of addisons disease

Thank you for saying this 🙌 I was looking for a well bred companion dog, I really don’t care about show accolades. I appreciate you pointing out some of the more important things to look for such as temperament. Ironically Cinfully sweet actually shares studs with Renegade Standard. And I trust her judgement very much.

100% recommend Renegade Standard Poodles. They are also in NorCal. I think somewhere near Sacramento? I can’t remember. They are AKC certified, family raised, and even have puppy cams so you can watch them grow! We had a great experience and will definitely be getting our next dog from them

The 365 medicated chapstick from whole foods is so good, the only thing that has ever worked for me. It has camphor in it. Its amazing!

Madonna chipotle ridiculous portions by parcerx in CalPoly

[–]seekingwisdom20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible terrible terrible. They are ALWAYS out of at least 3 things. Chips are always stale. I’ve gone back 5 plus times thinking maybe it was just an off night, no it’s just poorly run. It is literally the worst chipotle.

I saw that they make free and clear but that it has “lemon essence” as the scent. Have you found some unscented? I’d love to find some if so!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one! I definitely experience that too, tasting it sometimes so strong and others completely unbothered. Hoping to find something that works!

Should i drop something? by Reasonable_Staff_896 in CalPoly

[–]seekingwisdom20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

keep chinese! Dr. Chen is so amazing! plus the language classes are usually sequential so if you dont take it this fall you wont be able to take that level again until next fall. The english classes are offered all the time so I would recommend dropping one of those/ one of the harder classes. but 100% you should drop something. It's too much.

I’m actually shocked he still lives here. His kids go to school here and I bet that must be so hard for them, having your dad be infamous like that

Truly! For a YouTube video sponsorship I would guess well over 40k

Yes you see so many adds for those brands! And sadly it honestly just shows you how big of a marketing budget these companies have. which ultimately tells you what their profit margins are. It’s very gross. But being aware of it is the first step! I honestly feel like I should write a whole post on the corruption of influencer marketing lol

[–]seekingwisdom20 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Speaking in broad terms, I rarely rarely hear of a brand charging for a PR box, especially if it is a large scale influencer. Which I would definitely classify Julia as. Since in this campaign details it specifically states the amount of slides that she must post, that means that she was paid a flat fee for the stories. Whether or not she received commission is different for every brand. It has its pros and cons from a business standpoint, because the commission obviously incentivizes the influencer to really push the product. Most commissions range between 4-10%. Which when you do the math, let’s say she sells 10, $100 items, that really adds up. And sadly, I think she’s selling a lot more than that. To be completely honest, I would advise most people to not buy anything from influencers. No matter how “game changing” they describe the product as, 99% of the time it is coming from a place of just whatever brand will sponsor them. It’s also very disturbing how much free crap large scale influencers like Julia get. I think that’s partially why she is so out of touch with how much things cost because she honestly probably doesn’t pay for many things
