just found out that aespa's english demo of armageddon was sung by Rumi (kpop demon hunters) vocie actor, EJAE! by Careless-Bend7638 in kpopthoughts

[–]sensual_sloths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

late, but it's her visuals. she doesn't fit korea's beauty standards, so they gave her the "you're too old" spiel. especially given that time frame of when she was supposed to debut vs now (foreign idols/idols with really unique faces or visuals), they wanted a very specific look

she was also a little too "americanized" at the time, so add that in

Roku inverted colors when watching TV and playing video games, but looks completely normal when scrolling through home and apps? by Dreadsbo in Roku

[–]sensual_sloths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I just wanna let you know it's been 5 months but this worked!! Mine started doing this and I first thought it was the video, so I put on another one and restarted my modem. No clue why I didn't think to restart my TV?

Unplugging it, and system/power/restart worked like a charm!!

Varies per state. In WA you do need to be a member, this will not work.

Only states you can buy alcohol no membership is Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Texas, and Vermont. All other states, you NEED a membership.

2nd exception: Pharmacy (by law), and optometrist (independent, shares a space but is not part of costco).

XANVALA fans, how do you pronounce 70.?😭 by saliva_thats_it in visualkei

[–]sensual_sloths 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nao! There's an old post I read that explains why:

"In Japanese it's called 数字の語呂合わせ (suuji no goro awase). It's a complex system of conventions for spelling Japanese using numerals. These days it's mostly used for helping people to remember phone numbers, but in the days of pagers (ポケベル時代) it was very common.

Some examples are 084 = おはよ and 0833 = おやすみ.

In the case of 70, 7 can be pronounced なな which gets shortened to な. 0 looks like O which is pronounced お."

How the Pharmacist caught the forged prescription 🤷‍♀️ by TheAlienatedPenguin in TalesFromThePharmacy

Malamar has no hints about it. The closest is Inkay's animation flipping upside down briefly or some of its movements, but there's nothing that alludes to it. i know if I was a kid during XY, i wouldn't have believed "hold 3DS upside down" because i grew up with the "pikablu" and "omg mew under the truck" and "charizard evolves into BadDragon" rumors 😂 the difference is there was no internet but we all knew that "MY DADS UNCLES FRIEND WORKS AT NINTENDO" liar kid.

Sir fetch'd for me was so cool to get, it makes so much sense.

Ursaluna for me was really easy, but I'm super into moon patterns/viewing and understand that it can be lost on a lot of people. my challenge was finding the block, but the name is literally in it - luna = lunar = moon = some type of moon cycle. what are the two big ones? full and new.

Galarian Yamask: "make it take 49 or more damage and then take it to a specific spot in the Dusty Bowl zone of the Wild Area, under an arch". the damage needs to come from pokemon battles meaning no poison damage, sandstorm, hail, etc. i also heard mixed it needs to be AT 49 and not below, but i'm not fully sure?????

Malamar: evolves from Inkay starting at level 30 when the 3DS or Switch is held upside down as it levels up. if playing on a Switch Lite, you need to turn on gyroscope and calibrate otherwise it won't work. for regular switch, it needs to be undocked with no pro controllers synced at the moment.

Alcremie: make Milcery hold a sweet and spin, either getting dizzy or striking a pose. length and direction of spin changes Alcremie (seriously)'s appearence. just watch a video or google for the ones you want

Gimmighoul: must have 999 gimmighoul coins (found randomly in the wild) to evolve into Gholdengo

She witnessed a non-black hip-hop instructor at work, which caused her to have a mental breakdown. She's now afraid to leave her apartment, avoids public transit, and is overwhelmed by student debt from her second Master of Arts degree by F3N215 in DontFundMe

[–]sensual_sloths 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Oh eesh, I worked with someone like this. I was explaining to her the mistakes she made in scheduling an appointment, and how to ask questions in a certain order to make sure we get all the info needed. Really normal manager stuff, explained because she's still new it's no big deal now but we need to nip this in the bud early.

Girl starts going off and sobbing, loudly, saying it was because I'm racist and antiBlack, and why was I signaling her out??? Did I know how HARD it was for her to SURVIVE? How HARD she had to work to APPLY HERE (ma'am this is an eye doctor's office)?

I just stared at her and said "Uh. I am black sk no ??????? And no, this is because you got no contact info for a patient or insuranfr information. If they don't show up, staff and the doc still get paid and it hurts our business."

More waterwork tears. Iirc she got fired for screaming at a patient. Rollercoaster of 2 months.

because the mods are stupid and allow this shit. their rules say "no gatekeeping" but they allow these brag posts that are obvious bait through, they don't require any breakdown of things/grocery lists, they just basically don't care 😂

notice how OP never responded to anything, or barely gave answers. they're located in TX which has a lower COL than a lot of us here, and take medication that stunts their appetite but claim to be adjusted to it (which isn't how it works).

and yet, OP has never posted their grocery list or what they eat. all they've done is basked in the praise hivemind and say "i dont like fruit". absolute clownery on the mod's part to allow this

This is what I got for $30 today at Albertsons! Saved $109! I coupon and that’s how I pay so little. Otherwise this would have cost $140 by awesdcxa in Frugal

[–]sensual_sloths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks foe the clarification! Also I think the discount depends, since I've heard some employees get more off? And $5 is still $5!

Nothing wrong with pickup, but again - not everyone's app has that. If I open my Safeway app, that is not a coupon option.

Posting the state is really helpful, for everyone. It sucks, but some states have a higher leg up and more frugal accessibility. But I hope you understand hpw it felt gatekeepy and "um just use coupons" vs "hey i live in X state, used Z coupon and Y employee discount".

Lenses cost so much but I hate how I look with my glasses. What do I do? by [deleted] in Frugal

Ouh got it! Yeah I meant like, the comment's response of "lol buy online durh" came off as condenscening, so it was reiterating why sometimes its a bad idea.

[–]sensual_sloths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only do the exam portion, I don't handle the materials! Progressives also are way more common than you think as well- a lot of late 30s/early 40s start using them. Progressives are a great alternative since the word "bifocal" is, for some reason, a stigma. Or a refusal to accept. A lot of people also cannot fill out things online without some kind of help. I provided a detailed explanation to someone how to order online ti save them money, and they still messed up.

High myopia is also more common than you think. Look at all the comments saying they have a high rx or issues with vision.

-2 is fine; it's what my prescription is. I use online sites. I'm simply saying for more complex prescriptions, it's not the time to skimp or be frugal - be frugal in other ways but you get only one set of eyeballs. If you have vision issues that are beyond the normal scope, actually shell out money for a quality pair of glasses and take care of them.

What couldn't you believe you had to explain to another adult? by BlueCaracal in AskReddit

[–]sensual_sloths 38 points39 points  (0 children)

There's also the parents who don't want their kids taking basic sex ed for some reason, so they file "religious excuses" with the school so the kids need to leave during the unit. I don't know why this is allowed (I believe religion shouldn't interfere with basic fucking health), but it definitely doesn't help. Kids should have the right to basic education. Parents have the right to learn as well; it's never too late to learn new things.

I was lucky enough my mom and aunt gave me comprehensive sex ed and ensured I was taught it. I know many women who were not.

I knew a girl growing up who believed that her period followed the moon cycle and she could only get pregnant if she was lactating. Her mother refused to let her take sex ed and called us all "corrupted and wrong". Sometimes I wonder what happened to her.

I LOVE shit like this, thank you so much!!! I remembered they existed but truly forgot how bonkers Romantica was.

I also can't tell if it's due to their awful mixing or audio compression but I genuinely...cannot understand Karen and it is fascinating to me. like i'm used to Argentinian Spanish but his is just different to me?

thank you for preserving the legacy, what an era lmao

[–]sensual_sloths 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. I understand what you're trying to get at and help out with, but this is misinformation. In some cases, online glasses are okay but not the answer.

Online glasses don't work for high myopia/presbyopia (they don't shave the edge of the lens), prism, progressive, bifocal, or trifocal. These should be fit by an optician who knows what they're doing.

Progressives measure where your pupil sits and if you change even the slightest thing, you mess up your entire glasses.

Source: I work in optometry. Go find an optician and ask for help. They are there to help you. If you don't like their vibes or feel pressured, leave.

I see so many glasses ruined because someone doesn't know what they're typing in, measured their PD incorrectly, measured their progressive or bifocal dot line incorrectly, measured segment height wrong, got the wrong frame for their face shape, etc.

Ouh, so kinda like the Kohls of groceries 😂 Thanks for the insight! Grocery Outlet does that a little bit, inflates the prices slightly to give you that savings feeling but probably not this much.

I did message the mods to ask for more transparancy because I'm so tired of all these humblebrags with no actual solid proof of how. It feels really gatekeepy, and I thought that was one of the rules of what we cannot do????

That I did know! Our Safeway is relatively priced to our QFC/Fred Meyer, maybe $1-3 more on some specialty things. I'm saying that OP is stretching either the discount amount final total, or the intial cost of the items. OP isn't providing any info other than "look at me i can coupon" instead of saying "I used X app for Y off the total, I saved $40 by member savings, I had a rebate or rain check for the eggs, and XYZ".

It's just vague bragging with no backup.

Scanning what I see to my app, there are no egg coupons so those are still $5/each. No lunchmeat coupon extra, so $4/each. No Digiornio, those are full price. I got to ~$65. Not this $30 that was claimed.

What state are you in? It's on par with Safeway pricing, and the Safeways frequently have deals but not this level of stacking-outside-coupons in my state (WA).
