I've tried a few of these AI companion apps and I'm trying to figure out where JanitorAI sits in terms of quality. Some of them feel genuinely engaging and others feel like you're talking to a very polished FAQ bot.

How does JanitorAI hold up after a few weeks of regular use? Does it actually remember things or does every conversation feel like starting from scratch?

I’m considering it as a way to get more practical experience before applying for investment roles, but most of what I’m finding online feels pretty promotional. Do they lay out what's expected week after week and what sort of training is included?

any real reviews? only looking for people that have gone through the 8-week course, not speculators.

This dropshipping store is being run by Morgan Matthews, who is known for multiple previous scams.

The moment you buy they're not gonna ship you your product and will go on to buy fake reviews on Trustpilot to improve his rating.

If you actually check on the UK government website, the company is dissolved so you are buying from a company that does NOT exist

Avoid at all costs!

Quick one for Polygon traders. QuickSwap threads keep showing the same pattern: swaps failing over and over until someone raises slippage to 6 or 7 percent, and it almost always turns out the token has a transfer tax the default slippage can't absorb.

The DEX itself is fine on fees (0.3% V2, 0.01% to 1.5% tiers on V3, no protocol fee currently as of July 2026), this is purely a token-side issue.

Does anyone have a clean workflow for spotting fee-on-transfer tokens before the first failed attempt? Explorer contract reading works but is tedious. Interested in what tools people actually use day to day rather than what guides recommend.

Was anyone here around for the November 2025 DNS hijack? The official Aerodrome domains got redirected to phishing sites with malicious wallet prompts while the contracts themselves were never touched. I find that incident fascinating because it's the exact opposite of what people usually worry about: the protocol was fine, the website layer was the attack surface.

The platform itself seems to have held up well since, still the liquidity center of Base, fees still simple (0.30% volatile pools, 0.05% stable, checked July 2026), Spearbit and ChainSecurity audits via the Velodrome V2 lineage.

Did anyone notice the hijack in real time, and what tipped you off? And did it change any habits, like simulating transactions before signing or double-checking prompts? Feels like the kind of lesson that's cheap to learn from someone else.

Seen them on ads. Does anyone know about them?

It’s been in my cart for a week now and really tempted to just buy it without overthinking but I already have so many bags similar to this one. I will say that I’m very hooked on the sleek design and simplicity of this one. Would be perfect to take to the office everyday. RSVP bags haven’t been around for too long but they are taking off and I feel like I see them everywhere. How is the quality? Is it real leather and does it hold up against normal wear and tear? (especially if I’m going to be taking it to the office every day). Anyone who’s bought the parachute bag, please let me know!! I’m so close to buying :)

Bit about me - 27M, living in Florida and I currently work in logistics. I’ve tried a dropshipping course and was burned but refuse to settle at my hated 9-5. Logistics is not for the week.

I’ve been looking into it, but most of the reviews I can find feel overly positive or promotional. I’d like to hear from people who have actually paid for it.

Did you manage to land clients? How long did it take before you made any money? Is the coaching actually useful, and are Donovan and David actively involved?

Any honest feedback would be appreciated, especially from people who are currently in the program or recently left.

Vibram FiveFingers are the shoes everyone stares at, but after finally trying them, I get the hype. I use them exclusively for lifting and indoor workouts because having my toes separated completely changes my balance and grip on the floor.

The sizing is incredibly finicky though. It took me two returns to find a pair where all my toes fit comfortably without the pinky toe pocket being too long.

I wouldn't wear them out casually, but for training and foot mobility, they are unmatched.

Vivobarefoot was my first real barefoot shoe purchase, and honestly, the transition was rougher than I expected. The sole is incredibly thin, which is great for ground feel, but walking on concrete for the first few weeks made my heels pretty sore.

Now that my feet have adjusted, I actually love them for daily wear and the gym. The quality feels premium, which it should for the price, but I did have to size down because they felt a bit long.

Are they worth the money? If you want maximum ground feel and don't mind a tough break-in period, yes. But if you want a softer transition, you might want to look elsewhere first.

So I’ve had a saving account with Neo for roughly year and a half and I love it. I want to open another CC (only have 2 others) and I’m looking at the Neo World Elite Mastercard - Everywhere. I meet the personal minimum income criteria and 2% cash back on everything is decent imo. I guess it makes sense to apply for their CC vs chase or others since I already have a savings account.

Curious on hearing what others have to say but only those who actually have and use the card? Is it worth it in your opinion and is there anything I should know other than the annual fee?

Been looking at their bags for a while and finally ordered the Parachute tote a few months back. They're based in Paris and ship worldwide so depending on where you are the wait can vary. I'm in the US and it took about two and a half weeks door to door, which honestly wasn't bad once I factored in international shipping from France.

The bag itself is really the story here. Calfskin leather, made in France and Italy, and you can tell the second you take it out of the box. The hardware feels solid, the stitching is clean, nothing about it feels rushed or mass produced. They do limited runs of 500 per style which makes sense when you see the quality up close.

If you're ordering from Europe you're probably getting it fast. If you're further out just build in some extra time and you won't be disappointed when it arrives.

I'm thinking about moving some of my trading over to Vantage Markets. I've seen them around for years but never actually tried them.

Anyone have a real review? Specifically wondering about execution speed and if there are any hidden fees that don't show up until you try to withdraw.

I got a quote from NJ Manufacturers and I'm wondering if they're only available in New Jersey or if they operate nationally. I'm also wondering if they're a good company or if they're just a regional option.

Has anyone used NJ Manufacturers insurance? Are they good? Are their rates competitive? I want to know if they're worth considering or if I should stick with a national company.

I got a quote from Auto-Owners Insurance and they're significantly cheaper than my current company. But I've never heard of them and I'm skeptical about switching to an unknown company.

Has anyone used Auto-Owners Insurance? Are they legit? Do they handle claims well? Are their rates actually as good as they seem or is there a catch?

I'm an AAA member and I've been thinking about getting insurance through them. I'm wondering if AAA insurance is actually good or if it's just a membership perk that's not competitive.

Has anyone used AAA insurance? Are the rates good? Is the service better because you're already a member? I want to know if I should switch my insurance to AAA or if I should keep my current company.

I've been thinking about switching to Farmers Insurance because they have local agents. I like the idea of having someone I can talk to in person but I'm wondering if Farmers is actually a good company.

Has anyone used Farmers Insurance? Are the local agents helpful or are they just trying to sell you stuff? Are their rates competitive? I want to make sure I'm not paying more just for the convenience of a local agent.

I'm looking at Direct auto insurance as an option and I'm trying to figure out if they're any good. I've heard mixed things about them online but I'm not sure what's real and what's just people complaining.

Has anyone actually used Direct auto insurance? How's their customer service? Do they handle claims quickly? Are their rates actually competitive or are they just cheap upfront and then they raise your rates later?

Has anyone ordered from Blue Badger Branding for custom metal logo badges, tags, emblems, or nameplates?

I’m researching options for on-product branding, mainly for physical products where the badge needs to look premium rather than like a cheap sticker. Blue Badger seems especially relevant for furniture, cabinetry, and brands that want small metal badges attached to the product.

Their site is pretty clear that the minimum order is 100 badges and that pricing at that quantity starts from around £3.95 each, plus an origination cost. That helps, but I’d like to understand the actual experience from buyers.

How was their design support, sampling, finish quality, communication, and lead time? For a smaller brand, did the minimum order and setup cost feel worth it once you saw the finished badges?
