I’ve been seeing a bunch of ads for this app to the point that I pettily downloaded it. I was going to take a gander only to find that I need an email to sign up. While I do have an email specifically for potential spam sign ups, I still like to mitigate what I can.

Looking through this reddit page, it all just seems to be filled with vents and complaints. I’ve seen only maybe like three good things total after 10 minutes of scrolling through.

Do yall recommend shopping around here? Because from the observer’s point of view, even Facebook marketplace looks happier and more satisfactory.

I have been surfing the internet for quite a while and can only find ones with somewhat decent reviews that are about 2 feet at best. (Other ‘5-6ft’ plushies looked suspiciously AI-Generated and with 0 reviews). I ordered a four foot goose plush off of Amazon and was admittedly dejected with how.. sad it arrived. Barely any stuffing. Very flimsy. A lot of the “height” was in its legs where it was practically just fabric alone.

I want a plushie friend that would absolutely crush me if someone rammed into me with it. I want a buddy that could just lie on top of me a comfortable weight while also being soft as would any other plushie.

But I also don’t really want a teddy bear. Literally any other animal would do—even Kirby or Snorlax, I mean anything.

Is there a specific brand or website I should look for? I would take a gander at eBay, but I’m scared it’s just another Amazon disappointment in disguise but with wobbly return policies.

I will start plain off the bat: Yes, my grades are entirely my fault.

During the first half of semester 2–I will be blunt—I highkey wanted to kill myself. My mental health was far from good and my grades fumbled horrendously. As in, I finished with 2 D’s for the 3rd quarter. I tried as much as I could to stabilize it for the 4th quarter and most of my grades are higher than they were (majority A+’s with a few B+’s) except for one (which is still unfortunately a D).

I was looking through this page and kept seeing the same thing: No D’s. Unfortunately, I think 3 are going to show up on my report card (2 + 1).

I’m not looking for pity because I know it was entirely my fault, but I’m starting to panic a tad. Is there something I should do? Or should I just succumb to my likely inevitable fate and pray that it won’t end that way?
