#wait times

[the-bjd-community-confess]

Newer collectors in this hobby need to learn delayed gratification. Not sure if it's a generation thing (I'm in between gen x and millenials). The younger end of gen z and gen alpha getting into bjds and wanting everything to be there at the drop of a hat and perfect instantly but unwilling to shell the amount asked for a complete secondhand doll they can immediately get their hands on or are venting out about losing their spark for the doll because of the long production waiting time makes me think they didn't do much research. Or they aren't mentally, emotionally, and financially prepared for a bjd. It's a toy, yes, but a luxury toy nonetheless and they are not mass-produced so you can't have them now, at this instant, at this second.

You do not know how long the wait was, my Ao3 account got pended in way less time than the request to join here.

(btw, it only took about a month for my Ao3 account to be ready)

Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ride

How long would you wait in line to ride "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the parks?

Time is of no consequence

1 hour 30 minutes or longer

1 hour 10 minutes - 1 hour 29 minutes

50 minutes - 1 hour 9 minutes

35 minutes - 49 minutes

20 minute - 34 minutes

10 minutes - 19 minutes

less than 10 minutes

I don't like this ride

ONLY if there is a fast pass/virtual queue/someone willing to wait for all of us

This is for any of the parks; if you have different feeling for different versions, go with the longest.

The ride is at Disneyland, Disney World, Disneyland Paris, and Shanghai Disneyland [edit: and Tokyo Disneyland]

TW: medical

Why are whumpees always believed when they go to the ER? Where are the whumpees who get triaged wrong and end up waiting hours or days before they are seen, their condition steadily deteriorating all the while? Where are the whumpees who get sent home after a quick checkup only to end up in an ambulance or a hearse days later? Where are the whumpees who were promised a follow up or referral and never got the call?

I know the healthcare system is broken as fuck here but you can’t tell me it’s not common for people to wait years or at least months for referrals and appointments. This is such a whump opportunity so why aren’t we snatching it?

A fun game for you all- look up wait times in your local A & E. Compare the wait times to the current wait times in “the queue”. Is it quicker to get seen by medical staff, or quicker to see the queen’s corpse?

Queue tracker here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJxDwDzAwEs

For me, A and E is 9 hours, the Queue is 16 hours, so the Queue is winning, but only just. (9.30am)

🌴 I hate how everyone completely forgets a mun and muse exists if they're not on the dash every day or week. It's like nobody has fucking object permanence and everyone is here for instant gratification, so if they don't get it from a muse within a short short time frame, they subconsciously go I don't care any more and they can't even stay interested. Not all of us shitpost every day, or make content we can throw out every day or week, some of us take a lot longer because we want it to be as detailed and as quality as we can. If I like someone's muse I'll think of them a lot, and I definitely don't lose interest after a week or month especially if they take a hiatus. Do people lose interest in a fanfic that doesn't update every few days or weeks? In the characters? Roleplayers need to slow tf down, and relearn how to stay engaged with things even if they don't get that thing for a few days. Because social media has obviously killed that ability. No, I'm not talking about people with ADHD who might jump on this post and go "but but", I'm talking about everyone else who is only incapable of holding things because they let social media train them into it, and no, I'm not talking about people who lose interest in one-liners that don't get a reply for a week, I'm talking about actual muse and character interest.

Waiting in line for IKEA for about as long as it takes to get on Star Tours mid-day on a mildly busy day and I can only picture queueing for star tours, getting into boarding gates, the doors open and it's literally just IKEA.
