1. AE really loves knocking off the Etsy Witch aesthetic, and I don't blame them. 600+ orders, I recently saw this shirt on Dollskill, which means it hasn't been out that long.

2. Why would you take a picture of yourself in a halter and undies and post it on Ali loving express

So, what's the likelihood of getting lots of unwanted emails from shady companies of I sign up to start a cart on the aliexpress app?

I used a random side email, haven't gotten any extra spam that I know of.

I did use one with my real name set as the name, which might have helped? They might flag for poo poo like "Your Mom" or w/e

buy your partner a handful of non-poo poo small gifts on AE throughout the course of a week. you then have a bunch of stuff show up over the next few months and you look like you're thinking about them all the time.

Figured out that I signed up with the same junk mail email account several years ago when I was considering buying a kingtee tablet monitor, which is why my account got locked immediately. I wanna order a pug back pack to transport art supplies, so I'm going to have to set up another account.

Edit: Actually, it looks like it's because I'm using the iApp. There are pugtato shirts for 7 bucks though.

When it says FM, does that mean it's a transmitter (like those as seen on tv jupiter jacks) or it can pick up FM stations? My radio is broken except for my aux cord, so just plugging a second radio into it would be hilarious and effective.

Looking at the spec sheet, you may have found the only thing that it isn't capable of doing:It transmits FM, so that's why it can't receive it.

It doesn't have an aux-out socket: but I bet you could find one that does and use your phone's FM radio (if it has one)

As much as I like cheap chinese crap you can probably buy a new car radio for 30$ and not dick around on your phone when you want to change stations or get in/out of your car

this thing is a normal car stereo for adults and you wont swerve into a pole while cursing your phone's touchscreen

this one has bluetooth !

I'd been looking for a new clutch to take to gigs / clubs for a while but couldn't find anything I liked until AliExpress came to my rescue. It seems fairly solid and well made and they even threw in a gaudy gold ring with a big fake diamond as a freebie.

Unfortunately, I have a Saab and the radio is an integral part of the car's brain and you can't easily swap them out without losing some major functionality issues for the rest of the car

which is a shame, because it means I can't replace it with something like this:

I take pictures occasionally and usually leave reviews. I haven't received anything significant (maybe a coupon for something like $1 off of $30). It just feels nice :)
