What's the worst scam you've fallen for (or gotten close to falling for)? in c/[email protected]
[–] PillowTalk420 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

It's not an MLM or pyramid scheme; it is regular sales employment. You're not getting other people to sell them for you nor are you encouraged to find others looking to join the sales team. It just sucks dick because the pay is shit (and they go through hoops to pay you less or nothing; which is where the scam part comes in), they treat you like shit, and you have to basically sell them door-to-door.

It's stupid because the knives are great products; I still have my sample set because they actually rock. They just only sell them like Tupperware clubs and only market them via word of mouth. They'd be making bank if they just sold them to retailers instead of fucking with young people looking for their first job.

I sold cutco knives for a month.

If you're looking for a job, stay the fuck away from anything dealing with "CutCo" or "Vector Marketing."

Edit: Its not really a pyramid scheme... They just do everything they can to weasel out of giving you your paycheck on payday and because it's sales commission, I don't think they have to follow minimum wage laws since you're not paid hourly.

Unless they've seriously changed how it fundamentally works (this was when I was 18). They never encouraged or paid extra for getting others to sell for you, like a typical MLM thing.

What was the first album/tape/CD you bought? in c/[email protected]
[–] PillowTalk420 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

When I was a kid, I would get in trouble getting those Columbia House offers where they advertise like 12 CDs for one cent; but then charge a subscription fee every month. So I'm not 100% sure what my first one was, because I got 12 of 'em at once.

I know that's how I discovered Silverchair though. I just picked out their album Frogstomp because I liked the picture of the frog. 🤣

I still like every track on that album. Especially given the shit today where Suicidal Dream is basically my anthem...

Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear in c/fediverse

Even outside of their space, when they "argue" it had generally been posting giant, random images that had little to no context followed by walls of emojis. Which is why my blocklist is mostly Hexbear users.

I would go back in time to 1995 and give John Carmack modern tools and maybe UE5 and see what happens.

I planned on getting my dad a sound bar for his TV on his birthday because the TV he uses, the plastic grill over the speaker vibrates something fierce and it sounds like absolute garbage any time something with any amount of bass plays. But maybe I can just glue some rocks to it 🤔

My dentist offered me dentures for only a dollar. It sounded like a good deal at the time, but now I have buck teeth. in c/dadjokes

What is your favorite way to use cannabis? in c/weedtime
[–] PillowTalk420 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I use an eLeaf battery. Er... I'm not sure the model anymore and it's not printed on the device. But it's lasted me for several years, unlike the cheap garbage you can pickup at a smoke shop or gas station.

If you truly want to see God, you need only look into a mirror. Humans are gods. We have the power of life and death. We can make the impossible possible. It just doesn't happen in the blink of an eye.

I just want my nuggies in c/lemmyshitpost

Which ones? The ones I get only have instructions for the whole bag or half the bag. I gotta figure out how not to burn them when I just want 10.

Wander! What happen?! I don't have any way of getting into contact with anyone in charge of the instance (until y'all approve my mastodon account anyway). Sometimes I get a database error when trying to open the site and I'm kinda worried. 😥

I am so hyped for this. Look at all the new shit! Havel's back! You can do kung fu! What's up with the dual wielded throwing knives? Weird monsters! New locations! And possibly a new boss to rival Malania! 🤯

Is Virtual Desktop Streamer supposed to use so much CPU even when not connected and doing anything? (self.virtualreality)

I got a Quest 3 recently after having to give up my Quest 2 a year ago and I'm noticing that VD is using a lot of CPU power even when it's not actually doing anything. Is it encoding stuff even when there's nothing to send it to or what?

I always have to close it when doing flat space stuff because it causes some slow down in games that already don't run great (like arma 3).

Do pals need to sleep in a bed to get the effects of having a bed? (self.palworld)

I was generous and built them a barn so they could sleep indoors but I noticed most of them never go through doors (probably cuz they're too big or I need stairs at the foundation) and just sleep outside on the ground. They're not gonna get pissed after a while are they?

Lemme see your transcripts, Doc. I ain't trusting my life to anything less than an A+, honor roll student.

If a game adds or changes content outside of extra add-ons like DLC (such as a free update) does that content have to be reviewed by ratings boards and risk changing the rating of the game? (self.nostupidquestions)

I was talking about bg3 and how a certain part could be changed to be much darker, and it occurred to me that it possibly could affect the rating of the game if they did (being vague purposely to avoid spoilers). But then I wondered "do things like that even have to be reviewed by the rating boards?" Because Larian has made a lot of changes like that to the game and I imagine it would be pretty ludicrous to have each and every one be reviewed to see if it fits within the current ESRB and PEGI ratings of the game.

Remembering the first time I made a gay couple in The Sims (self.pillow_talk)

Just randomly started thinking about the first time in the original Sims game how I made a gay couple by making 2 polar opposites male sims, sticking them in a house they couldn't leave together and just making them flirt until they woohoo'd.

One was a big tough jock and the other a wimpy Poindexter nerdy boy. After they woohoo'd, the jock cheered and the nerd cried.

From my secondary account so those who may have already blocked me can see because fuck you.

How can I stop the new blend/mix thing? (self.spotify)
 

So I saw this new option that would put suggestions into my already made playlists. I tried it; didn't like it because it kept mixing my normal music with my sleep music. I turned off the setting, but it still keeps blending suggestions into my playlists.

How the hell do I stop it? 😩

So I was talking to the Githyanki queen, but something didn't sit right with me. She asked me to do something I'm pretty sure is bad, and she is seemingly communicating through a hologram or something. So I said "you're a god. You do it." And then pressed further, thinking it was a deception.

Nope. I got literally wished out of existence by an angry god. Lmao

Only I and Lae'zel dont have darkvision, but I can cast Light. However, when I cast on myself nothing happens. When I cast on Lae'zel, she lights up the area. What gives?

There isn't a hidden time limit, is there? (self.baldurs_gate_3)
 

With how old school this game does some shit, and how I've been dicking about I am slightly worried I will hit a hidden time limit, like in Fallout 1 before I even attempt to dive into the main quest. I'm not just gonna turn squidy all of sudden and end my game if I take too long, am I?
