Hi,

I'm trying to buy something that has shipping offered and I don't see any options available. Also when I try to offer shipping, that's not listed as am option either. My marketplace account is in good standing, but for some reason my ads were permanently disabled back in 2020.

Does anybody know how to resolve or get around this?

Never taken a cert before and this is coming out of my pocket. I generally work implementations and post go live ​as a contractor for Supply Chain management​. ​​​Does anybody know anything about the format, anything specific to focus on, anything to make sure that I don't waste nearly $1,000? ​​​​

Where do you get your shipping boxes/paper from?

I've got some tablets that I've been shipping via bubble mailers from walmart, just wondering if there's something else I should be getting and if that's the best place

I've come to grips with this over the last couple years, but my child (10m) is the obnoxious one.

He is a kind, sensitive, and caring soul who derives the utmost pleasure from being incredibly annoying to everyone around him.

This leads to him being ostracized and made fun of and bullied by the people in his class.

Yeah talks about this, we discuss ways to make friends, we discuss how sometimes he's just a little too much and needs to tone it down, i have tried shaming him when he goes so far beyond the pale.

None of it is working. There is nothing more rewarding to him than annoying others. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​?

A recruiter reached out to me in regards to a position that requires a Public Trust clearance.

In the questions they also ask if I have any other jobs, specifically to try and out OE

So the questions are, would I be in violation of anything because of the clearance​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ and should I report a conflict on the app and say "oh yeah that's my Facebook Marketplace flipping side hustle" or just answer no​

Have you ever read a book series and was just like.. "idk, this is probably typical prog fantasy slop but it's free on Kindle unlimited"

I picked this series (All jobs and Classes! But I just wanted one!) up because it's 6 books long, which usually implies it isn't bad. And there's parts that aren't! I think the best thing the writer does is write characters with flaws and keep them somewhat consistent. Just about everything else though, bleh.

1. MC is insufferable. Like OK, we did the reincarnation as a baby thing and it's hard being an adult in a child's body. But the sheer arrogance of this person with his whole twenty years of life. I get it, I was also arrogant at that age, but for this dude who is supposed to be driven and focused very rarely actually creates goals
2. The dialogue writing. I'm pretty sure the author took all their prompts from CSI. Pretty much every interaction between characters is like this vaguely threatening metaphor. Like this

>“More stealth,” Ludger said. “No tavern speeches, no visible teams. Quiet entries, quiet exits, quiet questions. If we’re loud here again, they’ll salt the routes and we lose the thread.”

Or things like "they'll bare their teeth but we'll sharpen our knives" stuff. A couple times can be cool, but this is basically every interaction

3. The writing is incredibly inconsistent in regards to the power system. In the beginning, the MC required a "teacher" to unlock a job. They also required that teacher be acknowledged in some way. Then the MC could learn a basic power and progress either by learning or utilizing the system generated power. Then they get rid of the teacher part and he can just get jobs after training. However he doesn't get a job when he's a server, he doesn't get one for being a merchant? It's just weird

4. On this vein, the MC recognizes what he needs for his independent life (money, power) but then tries to work outside the system of power to get it and doesn't even acknowledge that he may need any sort of social skills to get there. Like he's supposed to be decently smart, but he doesn't analyze any of his weaknesses and go "wow, I can get an unlimited number of jobs, I should go do the thing that I'm bad at so the system can make me better"

5. The title makes zero sense and that bothers me. At no point does the MC ever just want one anything

This is just rambling, but I'm in the middle of determining if I'm going to dnf the series and just wanted to vent my frustrations

More gripes: the numbers literally don't matter and I don't understand the point. I don't care that you have a 200 str if you're the same strength as an above average adult.

The way that the children who are not adults in the bodies of children talk like they're 35 as well. I've got a 7 year old. But the level of stated precociousness makes Sheldon Cooper look average
