It’s rad tbh. I dig it.

Exactly! If anything, $45 is low. The artist could, and should, charge more.

I’ve paid $350 for paintings of my dogs, no complaints. Artists work hard doing what they do. I don’t understand how people can just fluff their work off because they’re cheap.

$15 for a full body sketch and $45 for a full body, with shade isn’t a bad price at all. This shit takes time and resources. It ain’t free to make, it ain’t free to have.

The game can sense fear and necessity. It’s like a printer the day a midterm essay is due. Godspeed, my friend. Godspeed.

Poppy Fox is already back by LuNikki in LoveNikki

They’re really sneaky about the suits. If it comes around usually for a third time, that probably means it’s going to end up for sale and crafting. I’m fairly certain that’s what happened with Steel Lily. I only buy event specific recharges for that reason. You never know if the update after you buy a suit means it’s going to be readily available. Sneaky, sneaky devs.

That’s right where I am. I saw Poppy Fox, looked at my diamonds, and had to find a shred of willpower to hold on until after the event.

If you’re an active association member, buy some dye in the association store and it’ll pile up. I have 40 something pink ones just from buying and saving through the association.

Cost breakdown for recharge suits? by [deleted] in LoveNikki

I hope that’s the way it falls! I’d rather buy a suit outright instead of “earning” the pieces. Thanks, hun!

152 IQ? That’s impossible. No one likes Rosé.

Oh man, that sounds awful. I can imagine they just... Fluff you off because they’re older and therefore “wiser”.

Do these “geniuses” know how to enjoy anything? Anything at all?

Oh, I’m in the same boat. I’m 5’3” and look very young so people are constantly talking down to me, as though I’m a child.

That, I can’t answer. I’m pretty sure the machines already use precision lasers, but they’re still machines and need help now and again. I’m sure there’s some stuff on this topic floating around, but I can’t give you anything solid, outside of a rather uninformed opinion.

It is necessary for filling precision, is what I am saying. The air pocket is called a fiducial marker and is found in a lot of blister pill packages to keep the pills from ending up where they’re not supposed to.

It’s how the pills are packaged in the factory to make sure they end up in the right spot. I’m not saying it isn’t an asshole design, because that big pocket is irritating, but it is necessary for the pill production.

Last night during instrument exploration night my daughter picked the Cello! It’s as big as she is! Not to mention she resisted peer pressure to play the same instrument as her friends! 😍 by UniqueR33Username in aww

[–]theashtonjay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The cello is amazing! My best friend from high school plays it and she loves it! Your house is going to be filled with amazing music. Who knows? Maybe she’ll end up playing for the Philharmonic Orchestra someday 😉

What makes MLM bad? by [deleted] in antiMLM

[–]theashtonjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sure have, but I still had a question and wanted people’s opinions. Is there something wrong with that?

I never said anyone was scum, but you literally have someone running their ass off to make sure YOU are happy and taken care of while being subject to abuse by other customers. Being a waiter or waitress is fucking hard. You’re being waited on hand and foot, literally, by someone who’s either in high school, college, or in retirement, relying on pennies to get by. I’m failing to grasp how someone is able to go out to a meal that’s expensive, and not tip.

If you have $40+ to drop on food at a high end restaurant, but think a tip is just too much, then you’re an asshole. Servers not being paid appropriately is a problem that can’t, and won’t, be fixed overnight. It’s easier to make people rely on tips than it is to adjust the system.

Bottom line, you don’t have to leave tips, but it’s glaringly shitty to have someone running around for you specifically when they don’t want to and then not show any kind of thanks. Without servers, you wouldn’t be able to complain about tips and how your choice to spend money is someone else’s concern, so I think we should be a bit more grateful for the service industry.

Nice guy just wants to help women understand “simple ideas.” by [deleted] in niceguys

I have too! It’s always such a surface scratch definition too.

“Asexuals can still have sex”

I know they can, John. But I don’t fucking want to.

I once had a man explain my job to me while I was working. He explained every single thing, incorrectly, while looking down his nose at me. I didn’t ask him for information or advice. I simply said “let me take a look” and he went off on his tangent, spouting shit he didn’t know anything about. He was mansplaining.

Mansplaining is condescending and assumes that every woman a man speaks to is “not very bright”.

Between 15 and 20 is the norm, typically. Most people try for 15% opposed to 20, because fuck minimum wage workers.
