This was a man, dressed as a plant, making pigeon noises at people walking by. I said hello, asked if it was okay to take his picture, and then asked why he was dressed as a plant. He said, “I’m just working through some stuff. Thank you for asking. No ones asked yet.”

Ngl I've been shafted by novice crafters before and genuinely genuinely do not sell your shit if you can't provide a decent product. "Oh I'm a beginner I'm practicing" then why are you selling at all much less for the same price as someone who actually knows what they're doing

[clevernamepending]

I remember my first craft show, there was another woman selling items similar to mine but at a much higher price point. Someone asked me what the difference between us was. "Well she's been working with this and related mediums for much longer than I have, so higher level of polish and more certainty in the longevity of their work. I'm still Very New and I'm proud of my pieces but I don't know how they'll fare in three years so I'm pricing everything as if it were a B item" One friend bought one and it broke on the way home. Another is, over five years later, still wearing her's. I still don't know how to judge the longevity of my work.

I can't stress enough how much I miss StumbleUpon

[zevveli]

StumbleUpon once sent me to a supercut of Lion King, Lion King 1 1/2, and Lion King II, the main edit being that the scenes of Lion King and Lion King 1 1/2 were interspersed so that they happened in the order they actually happened.

[redpandarascal]

stumbleupon not existing anymore can be directly traced to a dramatic decline in my mental health, I could do a thesis on it.

[musashi]

bestie stumbleupon very much still exists its just called cloudhiker now. i use it all the time.

[lesbiassoon]

mini compilation of suggestions from the replies:

The Bored Button - "Press the Bored Button and be bored no more."

The Useless Web

Cloudhiker - "Discover the most interesting, weird and awesome websites of the Internet" (not really a rebrand, it's a different person running it but they have the same intention in mind)

Astronaut.io - "These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you)."

Marginalia - "This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed."

[badger-angel]

always interesting whenever people start talking about polyamory as particularly unstable or prone to jealousy bc it begs the question of if they’ve ever seen or heard of monogamous couples

[badger-angel]

are you aware that those people are having sincere earnest discussions on whether following someone on social media counts as cheating

[clevernamepending]

I have fallen into the people seeking advice reddit sub forum ecosystem and there is this phenomena that baffles and sometimes scares me that's an offshoot of this. Talking to people of the opposite sex? Disrespectful. Having a friend of the opposite sex? Red flag. Hanging out with a group of co-workers after work, some of whom are women? Disrespectful. Hugging an old friend who happens to be a different gender? Giving a different gendered co-worker a ride home? They watched porn and masturbated?! Did they not even THINK about how their partner would feel?

This type of Disrespect is treated as nearly as bad as cheating, a sign they are cheating, pre-cheating, or micro-cheating (Gonna be honest I do NOT know wtf micro-cheating and pre-cheating are). "If he's talking to literally any other women for any reason it's just because he wants to smash" "If she's giving her instagram to other dudes while in a relationship she's not committed" A genuine expectation to pull back/cut off relationships with folks who are a different gender once you're in a romantic relationship. Sometimes demands to pull back from other relationships who are "bad influences" because they do things like talk to people regardless of gender, watch porn, or offer any sort of resistance to the idea that it's weird to be expected to cut folks out of your life based on their gender. Comments like "Sorry, what's the issue here? That they hugged an old friend? Have they given you other reasons to be distrustful? Have you talked about your expectations of physical touch and exclusivity within a relationship? They might have a different Normal and if this is bothering you it seems worth comparing what you're both assuming those lines are" you get down voted and told that EVERYONE knows that it's wrong and if they don't then there's something wrong with them. I'm not sure if I'm watching weird aliens or if I am the weird alien in these scenarios anymore.

we got a full redbox and now we're playing go fish with the redbox movies

[chirasul]

I would never pay money for a redbox. if you ask politely and are very very persistent (i.e. annoying) they will let you take it away

here's my dad and i taking it away

a redbox makes a wonderful addition to your patio

[fishmech]

for those wondering why they're free to take now, it's because the company that made those "chicken soup for the soul" books bought them a few years ago and then completely collapsed so bad they couldn't afford to dispose of or even take the blu rays and dvds out of their kiosks all over.

so any of them is free game because they're all located on other business' property and they usually don't want to have to pay to get rid of them either. so asking the store manager usually gets you the ok to pull it out and keep it.

[chirasul]

there was a period of time right after their bankruptcy where you could put in any debit or credit card and it would spit out movies without charging you. you could even put in like an expired or deactivated card, or a visa gift card with a $0 balance, didnt matter, they'd just start spitting discs out. a lotta people raided redboxes for movies for a couple months, with some people doing what me and my brother and my dad did here, taking the whole box and signs and marquees as well. because managers sure as hell don't want a big abandoned piece of trash on their sidewalk disappointing customers. BUT they're also often too cheap to pay someone to remove it. so they just sit there.

luckily there are no shortage of freaks like us who will just take them away on our own volition. we did it all "by the book", too: we set up cones and caution tape, disconnected electricity properly, used an angle grinder to grind down the bolts in the concrete so nobody would trip on them, then cleaned everything up afterward and sealed off the electrical panel so the store would know everything is safe and tidy. though they were hesitant when we were first contacting them, they were honestly very relieved and grateful when we finally took it away, especially once they saw that we "knew what we were doing" (we don't) and look like we've "done this before" (we haven't).

the fun part: the reason why this redbox, in particular, was completely full and unraided is because the computer hardware inside had failed some months before the bankruptcy, and a failing company sure as hell wasn't gonna send a tech out to our podunk dipshit city to fix it, so it was impossible to rent movies or take any discs out. plus, for who knows how long, people were returning old redbox discs to this machine and not taking any out, leading to a much higher variety of movies than your average redbox.

there is a thriving community of redbox hackers and modders out there, as well, creating open-source software for repurposing the machines and not letting their very interesting and robust disc-management hardware go to waste. this one belongs to my brother (who was very annoying persistent and did all the legwork of contacting managers and securing permission) who is a programmer by trade and will be hacking it into a family-access movie library, with whatever discs we want. i mean the machine is completely weatherproof and has a built-in AC unit, it would be such a waste to not try to turn it into something cool.

if we get another one, i'm gonna try to mod it into some sort of art or zine vending machine. the disc boxes are just the right size for small print art or stickers. would make a great "little free library" too.

remember: the rules are made up. act like you belong there and you can get away with anything. this applies to your own life

[dingbatblr]

i dont want a phone as thin as a saltine cracker you fucking dipshits i want a phone with a headphone jack

[dingbatblr]

and i want laptops with cd drives too. let us penetrate our devices

[clevernamepending]

I was genuinely mad when I got my phone and it had no headphone jack. I resent wireless earbuds they're designed to lose one. I should be able to buy a pair of earbuds for 12$ and they should last me years as beaters kicking around my bag.
