I've found some decent sellers through Facebook sponsored ads but you really need to do your homework. There are quite a few total scams showing up at the moment and they operate under multiple names.

I've never taken a chance on Wish.

The film crew for QFES are here to film the training spot with Mrs turnbeug about the importance of communicating with residents after she called them a billion times trying to get info about the fire on the other side of town earlier this month.

ah yeah you're right that explains all the ads for woolen cock warmers, 1 piece women's vinyl jump suits and the abovementioned extremely wide-necked guitars


on another note I realised this morning that my family had a generic name for all cats, which was 'Mutzimo'. Is this anything?

My wish suggestions are mostly tools and tool accessories, I got this nifty little 117 piece phone repair and driver set off there for all of about $16 delivered and it's brilliant. I also got a Skilton set (basically a small sanding pad which you can chuck in a drill for light sanding, apparently used a lot in woodturning, it came with like 20 of each pad from maybe 40 grit to about 2500 grit. I used the pads to refinish the axe I did recently as hand sanding paper but in the drill the higher grit stuff was a blessing for the charcuterie board I did getting into tighter spots

My last two facebook ads were for a recipe book being released by a restaurant I've been to a few times and so is something I'm genuinely likely to purchase, and a gamer compression sleeve, for gamers, to make their mouse movements better. I guess Facebook is monitoring my performance in every FPS I've ever played and figured I could use the help.

if they're being marketed as making your acute mouse movement better thats a huge 500 dollar Gamer Chair Lmao. Can see the argument for em to slow down muscle fatigue, as funny as that sounds about esports, but holy poo poo I hope you're just paraphrasing the marketing spiel

I reckon there might be a different reason why gamers would need special arm-helping compression sleeves.

I dont understand people that a) buy wish stuff expecting quality and b) see ads on facebook.

I had a handlebar shear mostly off in my hand too. I was out of the saddle but fourtnately not going too fast. They were kind of wide moustache bars so the curve was definitely the weak spot.

I don’t know what to say to the people (not ITT) who are shocked that this stuff happens. Do they think the Australian force is above doing death squad poo poo? Why? Everyone else does and that doesn’t make it ok.

At some point we all thought that SAS didn’t do this poo poo. I don’t see how France or Germany or the UK isn’t doing it if we are. Why give anyone the benefit of the doubt when it is a fact that both AUS and the US do it.

Anyways defund all military and dismantle the MIC. The CIA is the great Satan. Etc.

My dog had a severe reaction to something yesterday (I'm guessing a bee or wasp sting) and her face swelled up to twice its normal size. Between that and the hives which came up, she looked like something out of Cujo for a couple of hours.

Kinda sad because after 20-something years my old R.M. Williams belt finally died yesterday. The old man gave it to me when I was still a teenager, it's been with me my whole adult life through and from really lean to heaps fat. gently caress. A new one just won't be the same.
