I don’t know really where to start this. We met in February this year on a ski trip, and he invited me to his birthday party. I remember in the car him and his best friend were talking about relationships and when they asked about me, I said I think romance is propaganda. We would see each other here and there and social situations like board game nights and other events, he even hosted a dinner party where he invited me. Things picked up as we texted and we started having sex in May. The sex was so good and I enjoyed our company and our dynamics together. I loved learning from him as he’s a walking encyclopedia to ask questions. He would often invite me to things (trivia, karoke, watchp...

Curious if anyone else has thoughts about “Second Edit Seattle” the pop up thrift store that all the influencers have been hawking on the ‘grams. I went to check it out in Sodo (across from Costco) and it seemed like a big scam. All the clothes were completely worn out and styles from like, the 2010s. ******, old Express and Ann Taylor. They claim everything is $10, but this **** wouldn’t be more than $5 at Goodwill just now you add “pop up” to the title and they blast house music. Anyone else gone and actually found nice things?

This accessibility represents both the platform’s greatest strength and a hidden challenge. When launching a store is easy, thousands of competitors can do exactly the same thing. The result: a crowded marketplace where simply having a Shopify store means nothing. What matters is execution excellence—building a store that converts exceptionally well, performs fla...

Several months ago on a rainy day, I was in a clothing store, staring at a pile of hoodies. At the time, a family member was gifting me clothes and picked out the usual gray sweater, grey sweatpants match. My mind was elsewhere, focused on the splash of color in the otherwise pile of grays, whites and blacks. But, in a brief moment, the paying person was called away and this gave me the opportunity to browse. Within moments I snatched up a pastel-outfit combo, and took it with me all the way to the register. Deciding to wear it that very moment, I felt lighter. More complete. For the longest time, I've always loved pastel colors and sweets. A little girl pointed at me and declared I ...

So at first when I told my parents, they were very much like “uhhh no you’re my beautiful baby girl you want her to die???” And it was kinda bad, lots of crying, yelling, I even had doctors and my parents believe my autism at some point was the cause of me feeling this way. A couple weeks later my mom came to me, having done some research and just randomly took me to the mall, got me compression bras and some more masculine clothing, on the drive home she told me she loves me and will always support me, however she wants me to not rush into things. She said after 6 months we’ll see if I feel the same way, and if I do, then we can go from there. Here’s the really good part! We we...

Starting December 1, in order to maintain Pro Shopper status you have to have an Original Items Found percentage of 96%. I live in a rural area in the deep south. We have one crappy overpriced grocery store in town, one Family Dollar, two Dollar Generals, and another 3 DGs less than 8 miles from the center of town. Anyone who shops DG knows you can go to two of them 2 miles from each other and find a massive difference in not only what's available, but how much is in stock. If something isn't in stock, I can't go invent or make it. I don't do the ordering; I don't stock shelves. On Tuesday my Original Items rating went from 94% to 89% because things that are al...

Can anyone on here offer advice on where to buy these satin table cloths? And, has anyone brought silver metal candelabra’s from Temu and found they are okay? Open to anywhere I can buy a decent amount for table decor. Trying to source for my sisters wedding. There is no wedding planner & I am taking on doing the decor/ flowers. TIA. - I’m also open to anything to help decor/flowers (websites, stores etc) - we are Brisbane based, if you know best priced wholesale florist any feedback is appreciated.

Hello!! This post is to help me gather information and start a conversation. Before I got into knitting, I started my “sustainable/ethical” (whatever you choose to call it) journey back in 2019. I have been passionate about not only helping the planet with my choices but also making sure that if animals are in the production cycle, I want to know if they are being treated well. I know this such a nuanced topic and none of us can 100% confirm if a brand’s claims are reality unless you buy the animal fiber local from a farm you’ve vetted and process it yourself. On the other hand, a lot of people do not have access to local farms or don’t want process their own wool for their own re...

Hello! I've been buying Lane Bryant bras for over a decade, from back when I finally had enough money to upgrade from Walmart. I remember being shocked how crazy big my ***** looked in a (what I thought was) a properly fitting bra. I continue to shop there because they have pretty ones in my size, but the fit has never been perfect, which I assumed was a me problem. (I'm very short and heavy, all my clothing and shoes fitting is an eternal struggle.) I was looking to take advantage of black Friday sales, but since I don't live near a store anymore and my breasts will pop out the bottom of the bras sometimes, I tried looking up how to properly size. I fell down quite the rabbi...

Its promise is compelling: launch a professional online store in hours, not months. No server management, no payment processing headaches, no security nightmares. For many businesses, Shopify delivers exactly what it promises—a fast path to selling online with minimal technical friction. Yet beneath this simplicity lies a paradox. While Shopify makes basic e-commerce accessible, building a Sh...

So, first of all: “A wormhole is like a secret tunnel in space. Objects pull on each other with gravity. If space gets pulled and bent super hard, it could fold so that two distant places touch. That fold makes the tunnel. Go in one side, pop out the other like you skipped the line.” -scholar In wormhole physics, if you move one end of a wormhole differently in time, you get a time portal. In real life, we can do that, but in the tiniest, simplest way possible, because time actually moves differently depending on variables like gravity, speed, and more. (Pic 1 & 2) But I’ll spare you the science talk, let’s apply this to the Stranger Things universe. We have a wormhole, ak...

I'm 20 yr old and a girl, as I said I **** at shopping. Offline stores are too overwhelming I can't ever find what I really want and then there's length issues, my family doesn't like oversized clothes much and it's just bonkers. I tried online shopping sites but it's either costly or the quality is ****. One of my worst fears of moving out is having to buy my own clothes. It genuinely *****.

**Ctrl Alt Ego** is a strange game that is deliberately obtuse in a lot of ways but not in any way that I would say prove to be a barrier to entry, mainly just in ways that add character. You don't play as a physical character - instead you are an "ego" which essentially is a disembodied consciousness that can inhabit mechanical devices within line of sight (don't ask me what "sight" means to a disembodied consciousness). Your main way of getting around when you're not zipping from host to host is in a little floaty robot chassis called a BUG, which can receive new upgrades in the form of disks and improve them with suspiciously organic looking worms. Yo...

\[22M\] Hi guys, I was at a chai tapri last night and heard two people talking about starting their own AI company. They had some plans, but I’m not really into AI so I didn’t try to interpret much. If anyone in Bangalore has plans to start something—like a café, clothing store, or any small business—I can be your right hand. I can find and coordinate with manufacturers, I was a video editor, I can shoot reels, run Instagram campaigns, make basic websites, etc. Basically, I can manage things full-time.

Businesses need skilled developers to build and maintain their digital storefronts, yet finding developers with genuine Magento expertise has become increasingly challenging. This talent scarcity isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a strategic constraint that determines which businesses can successfully execute their e-commerce ambitions and which remain stuck in perpetual underperformance.

Another month, another post. This month did not have any travel at all and I have decided to move to a new budgeting spreadsheet from my old Microsoft template to one made by The Measure Of A Plan: [https://themeasureofaplan.com/budget-tracking-tool/](https://themeasureofaplan.com/budget-tracking-tool/) (highly recommend) Been loving this new template where now I have charts to keep me informed about my spending and income, though I wish there were ways to show how much money I'm putting into different savings accounts and my checking account, still a very good template none the less. **Note**: Some of the changes from last month might be calculated differently as a result of Bank Acc...

From now on, I am going to save all my glass jars and lids. 1. am going to clean them and put them in the dishwasher. 2. Then I am going to remove the gunk with homemade goo gone, (baking soda and vegetable oil that I put in a glass jar. 3. Then wash it again on the dishwasher. 4. Store it in a bin. 5. When I buy stuff from the bulk bins, I usually put it in a cloth produce bag at the store. So when I get home, empty the produce bag into one of the glass jars. 6 or for cheap Christmas gifts, make your own hot chocolate mix and fill it with a glass jar. You can give this with homemade marshmallows and maybe a little bottle if rum. Put a bow on the glass jar. Give them away. 7. Ma...
