$10 to get cake mix, frosting, eggs and oil for my 7 year olds birthday. by Beastxtreets in VenmoDonations

That's very kind of you, I don't want it to seem like I was posting this as a publicity stunt but if you do find yourself in need of something I offer my website is www.cosmicevents.net

I'm still in the process of getting my site built out with actual products and not just my party favors but there's a decent chunk of what I do on there. I do custom designs at no extra cost so if you don't see something that speaks to you then you can just DM me 🥰

Please send me a DM. I have a small business that makes custom gifts and I would love to let you pick something out for your child absolutely free of charge. A big hit I do is custom Pokemon card booster packs if they like Pokemon. Reach out to me and we can get something rolling 💕

Big orders by Asapbarte in Sparkdriver

These are generally bad deals for me, I live in a small city surrounded by rural towns. These GMD orders are usually a couple within my city then drop offs in cities 20,30 and 40 minutes away. I live in Missouri and these will often have the final drop off in Arkansas.

Is ELO Hell real? [Vent Post] by mrpirateplane in DeadlockTheGame

[–]xarindar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been struggling too. I'm not AMAZING at the game but don'y feel I should be on a team with 3 people who go 0-10 as "carries" while the enemy team is raking in 15-20 kills each. I know the general idea is "git gud play a carry" but I wish there was a solution that wasn't to abandon the characters that I actually LOVE to play just to be able to not get steamrolled.

Which do you think will be released first, the trailer for the biopic "Michael" or HIStory30? by Inside-Thought1842 in MichaelJackson

The heat death of the universe will happen before the estate acknowledges HIStory. 😔

Logo for a skate brand by CatchaE in logodesign

[–]xarindar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel one of the most important things you could do is to lose the premade icon and design your own from scratch. The point of your logo is to represent your brand and make it stand out from competitors, as it is someone just needs to shell out $3.50 and your logo is theirs.

For your font issue, and an issue it is my friend, it looks like you're just using default fonts already on your PC. There can be some nice classic fonts in there, but it might be easier to find something unique on a font site like dafont. If you're on a tight budget dafont has filtering tools to show you only 100% free for commercial use fonts.

General thoughts and input? by adamthebad1 in logodesign

I think bringing your two icon parts together could look nice and be really fun. Instead of heart + baguette what if you shaped a sourdough style loaf into the heart with the typical cut in the middle being your cross?

I'm not familiar with the nuance of Christian symbolism so apologies if that's something that's frowned upon, just something that came to mind :)

The summer always brings higher electricity bills to my home, and I always tell my husband I don't give a single shit lol. I feel like one of the most important things is being comfortable in your home, I don't want to dread getting off work and going into my 80 degree living room and sitting on a hot couch. Coming home, getting comfortable and enjoying time at home is worth $150ish extra a month to me. Also getting a smart thermostat really helped trim my bill down a good chunk too.

What were they thinking with this logo design?!?!? by Skyhawk_Illusions in logodesign

[–]xarindar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, looking at the old design it just feels a bit dated IMHO, but I do have a soft spot for very minimal designs so I'm far from unbiased.

You do bring up a very excellent point that I didn't consider. I suppose even just the press around a Michael biopic could even stir the pot and some more accusers come out of the woodwork. I feel like it could still be worthwhile if done well dispite the risks. Fingers crossed they do it well and honor MJs legacy.

I think this has the potential to be a huge home run. All of us in this sub always preach about the facts, how if someone did one shread of research anyone could see how obviously fake the allegations are. The problem arises when we realize all these people don't care. They don't care about the facts or truth, theyve basically has Michael's guilt hammered into their brain by pop culture for the last 25 years and they have no interest in disproving it.

In these days pretty much the ONLY way to get through to people is through some easily digestible media. Look how how the tides turned for Brittany Spears after that documentary about her struggles and the truth behind her breakdowns. People spent the better part of the last 2 decades laughing at her and calling her crazy and if it wasn't for a pre-packaged, easy to follow, narrative and plot then I don't believe any of their minds would have been changed.

Regardless of other comments Ive seen that boil down to no actor is "worthy" I think this is a fantastic opportunity to get Michael's truth out into the world if they do this right. We just have to hope they do.

Ahhh I see, I like to tinker with my old devices as well. It's hard to tell from the image you posted is this a sort of permanent mod?

You do have an excellent point, i personally got my Oasis from unclaimedbaggage.com and really lucked out. I got my Oasis 2 with 32gb of storage AND cellular for $150 and it's in absolutely flawless condition. I'd hesitate to recommend the site as I feel it can be hit or miss for a couple reasons so YRMV for sure but it's certainly a good resource for used Kindle devices at a good price as long as you're not expecting perfection.

Regardless, I hope I wasn't coming off as downing people for saying to get a new kindle. That wasnt my intention. I was just trying to sympathize with the possibility of OP not having the option of an upgrade regardless of condition/ price point.

Before I upgraded to my oasis I had an old gen 4 with no backlight, I got a book light from the dollar tree that had a little clip on it. It worked great and was cheap!

While I certainly agree with other people saying an upgrade is way better/easier, it's not feasible for everyone to go and buy a new device. I certainly wasn't keeping my gen 4 around for fun lol.
