GiuseppeK: I don't think ANY contestant ever beat the dreaded Africa map.

GiuseppeK: Something I'd meant to say earlier: If you were a '90s kid and lucky enough to make it to the final round of WHERE IN THE WORLD IS CARMEN SANDIEGO?, the last thing you wanted to hear was "Look for her in Africa."

GiuseppeK: @blackcat79 And I know precisely why that reminds me of my favorite octopus joke, but it's probably too spicy for a venue such as this. 😭

13 hours ago

blackcat79: @GiuseppeK [Re: the Australia argument] I don’t know why, but that reminds me of this one time I was standing next to two people at an aquarium, looking at a majestic Great Pacific Octopus. One of them went “Omg that’s such a cute jellyfish!” and the other confidently responded “No you idiot, it’s a squid” lol

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK Hey I guess it was a series topic okay?

17 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit And now I'm thinking back to a hilarious moment at university, when I witnessed a surprisingly heated argument over the capital of Australia occur not ten paces from an old school set of encyclopedias (for the record, they were both wrong).

17 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK ooooooo I need to know some of these African countries were called! Care to enlighten me?

17 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Last time I visited such a place, I found a '70s almanac, and I had a surprisingly grand time remembering what the countries in Africa USED to be called.

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK BUT the world didn’t explode and there was no rapture

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK wow. Everything is AI even you and I

17 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK LOL NO I DESPISE THOSE PEOPLE! I go to secondhand stores and find my own treasures.

17 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit I'm not so sure about that. I've got a theory that the Apocalypse actually already happened, and no one noticed.

17 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK People tend to see only the good parts in things they no longer have. Whether that is a person or a time period.

17 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit PLEASE promise me you won't ever become one of those insufferable hipsters who prances into the secondhand store and makes a huge production out of taking ALL the vinyl and spreading it on the floor around them. 😤

17 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK hey! It was a miracle the world didn’t end man.

17 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK love that quote. But it is not a crime to like the good parts of different times.

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Meh. I can certainly do without reliving the '00s.

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK now that may be a very true fact your mother stated. Probably is true from what the 60s is known for

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK exactly. 20 years ago everyone loved what was 20 years before that.

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Then again, my own mom once confided that anyone who claims to remember the '60s probably wasn't REALLY there.

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK I agree CDs are the best regardless…HAHAH that’s actually hilarious. Thou must learn French the car said.

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit I remember the '50s were all the rage among the retro types of the '80s, and the '60s were big among '90s kids, or at least what we *thought* the '60s were (the '60s weren't THE SIXTIES™ until the decade was nearly over).

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK I do enjoy going to the malls in my aria. Even tho one of them is dead. But it’s fun to walk around with friends. I’ve always liked rollerblading and do that quite often too

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit I'd go so far as to call cassettes overrated (I think it peaked with CDs). Of course, I may be biased, owing to my first car having a tape deck with the cassette permanently stuck in there (Learn French, Lesson 2: Letters and Numbers 🤮 ).

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK my family has always been into CDs and vinyls. But they are becoming big again. It is also true that in the 90s kids wanted to be in the 70s and that’s I guess how it is?

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Malls could be alive and fun, or quite the contrary (nothing in between). One of the all-time classic zombie movies dealt with a huddle of survivors trying to shelter in place in a shopping mall.

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK Cassette tapes are fascinating to me. I personally love CDs and vinyls. But don’t have a way to play cassette tapes otherwise I’d have those too

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK big, Arcades all the time with friends! Malls actually being alive and fun

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK oops sent send too soon

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK I have always found the 80s to sound like so much fun. Saturday morning cartoons and looking forward to that, roller skating being b

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit I admit, I'm a bit concerned with the '90s suddenly becoming hip to relive. Maybe I'm a worrywart, but maybe it's time we heeded the warnings of the Department of Retro and start conserving: we're running out of past...

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Or a song on the radio that wasn't out for another couple years.

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit That's a bit of a paradoxical query. As a genuine '80s kids, there are things I probably never would've thought about were it not for the decade suddenly being so hot in pop culture. I'll see a story is supposed to be taking place in a certain year, yet they're (for instance) playing an arcade game that wasn't out yet.

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK what other profound things from your youth do you think is memorable?

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK Not politics…. Just marketing strategies..

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK I do believe we may need to hop to another topic for the purposes of being too inappropriate on this app…

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit At the risk of getting too far into the weeds for polite company, I'm in a part of the world that uses a hose with a nozzle ("bum gun") to do 99% of the job. Once you get the hang of it, it makes SO much more sense.

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK EXACTLY!! if it had been advertised that socks were going to be scarce then I believe people would have listened and bout an infinite amount of socks. Honestly may have been a great marketing tactic in those times.

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK it’s also expensive! If people are so worried about not being able to go to grocery stores, why not stalk up on FOOD??

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK l know man. Like of ALL THINGS THAT is what people were worried about?? It’s free outside in some parts of the world.

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit I've got a theory that some techie overseeing the Matrix fat-fingered the code. Those folks might've just as easily been procuring and fighting over traffic cones or birthday cake candles. 🤔

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Although seriously, I'm still scratching my head over just what the H-E-double sticks was going on a few years back when suddenly folks were scrambling to buy up and stockpile TP.

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK how dare they. Not all of us want to spend our money on something that is to be thrown away darn it.

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Darn tootin'. Last time I reached for some cowboy TP, I got prompted to leave a tip. 😤

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK nice. You weren’t looked down upon for using what was free

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit You betcha. None of this "three seashell" malarkey. Still haven't figured out that newfangled nonsense...

18 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK bet you used cowboy toilet paper too

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit And we'd get by on SIX SQUARE OF TOILET PAPER ANNUALLY, for the WHOLE BLOCK! 'Cause we had VALUES! And another thing... Hey! Where do you think you're going?! Get back here!

18 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit We used to pull ourselves uphill both way (we didn't even HAVE a concept of "downhill", dadgumit!), and by our bootstraps, too!

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK so how was your youth?

19 hours ago

blackcat79: Do any of you guys have any advice on dealing with burnout/procrastination? In order to make deadlines I need to do roughly 5-6 hours of schoolwork a day, but I’m still kind of recovering from last year’s burnout and trying to prepare myself for the hell that will be next year, so making myself actually do the work has proven to be very difficult… any input would be greatly appreciated! ☺️

idk_man-: I find myself loosing track of all of the guidelines for different thinks lol

20 hours ago

idk_man-: but thank you to everyone who helped answer the question!

22 hours ago

idk_man-: what have I started ;-; I guess my original question was can multiple bracelets of the same pattern be present in the same photo. And I'm assuming the answer is yes because I tired yesterday and both photos were accepted, but after thinking it might make more sense to post them separately. idek anymore lol.

Oceanus: Also, is there any army fans here? Like people who love BTS and now them? I want someone to fan girl with because all my friends don't like k-pop

Oceanus: hey, do any of you guys know if there is an app like this one but for drawing and sketching? i've been looking on the internet but ive found nothing. can you help me?

MidnightTH: @clare10 Hello!❤️

1 day, 11 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @ab_crafts "A different photo of the same pattern is only allowed for a different pattern"...? Argh, I think I've just gone crosseyed. 🤪

1 day, 11 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @ab_crafts But could I do that again if I wanted to...? Not holding my breath.

1 day, 11 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @ab_crafts And to further muddy the waters, I frequently photograph two or more of the same pattern (sometimes one or more "variations") and have yet to be declined. 🤔

1 day, 11 hours ago

ab_crafts: ... So I take it you can make many versions of one pattern, and photograph them separately. If, however, you have three patterned bracelets in the same photo, you can only use that one photo on one of the patterns. You'd have to make new photos for the 2nd and 3rd bracelets, if you want to upload them to those other patterns, as well... That's how I read it anyway.

1 day, 12 hours ago

ab_crafts: @GiuseppeK @karyn-smit 😄 Hi! The Review Guidelines state for Photos: "Duplicates aren't allowed, the same as in all the other sections, but the rules for duplicates here are a bit specific. A same photo is not allowed (across the whole database), a different photo of the same bracelet is only allowed for a different pattern, but multiple photos of distinct bracelets are allowed also for the same pattern." So, I take it you can make many of the same pattern,

1 day, 14 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Then someone immediately reported that they had done so successfully, and I was left feeling like a jerk... 😭

1 day, 14 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Or policy might've genuinely changed. Suddenly reminded of the time I chimed in on the challenge board when I saw the concept was redoing something we'd made in the past, with the idea of showing our improvement. I warned that based on experience, if a photo had already been approved, we might not be able to get a second past the goalie.

1 day, 15 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK yeah, you’re probably right. It just depends on the mod

GiuseppeK: @hannahc106 Fair warning, you might be creating a monster. My favorite ex was the one who got me started.

2 days, 12 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit I strive to never make the same bracelet twice (unless the customer wants it). My guess is it's all up to the discretion of the approving mod.

2 days, 12 hours ago

karyn-smit: @idk_man- no problem (:

2 days, 12 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK interesting lol I’ve seen people post multiple photos on the same pattern a couple times before. Maybe you just have to make each bracelet different colors?

2 days, 13 hours ago

hannahc106: Guys I’m teaching my bf how to make a bracelet rn

2 days, 13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit [Re: posting separate pics of same pattern] Maybe things are different now, of it's up to the approving mod, but I've had times submissions for the same pattern have been declined, with the reason being that I've already posted something else there.

2 days, 13 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @idk_man- [Re: Multiple bracelets in same photo] I do it all the time, and no one's told me to cut it out yet. 👍
