Bricked my laptop trying to fix it, lmao.

Not sure it's that big a deal. Lots of places have old stuff, but most gets moved around anyway. Calling can't hurt, though.

Morgan's point about assuming colors are a lie hits home, but tbh, I've found that digging into user photos on the site can save some headache. Last time I ordered 'midnight blue' velvet, the product shot was pure black, but customer pics showed it had a subtle navy sheen. I always scroll past the official images now to see what people actually got. It's not perfect, but it cuts down on surprises. Some sites even have a section for customer uploads, which is way more reliable. Ngl, it takes extra time, but it beats planning for disappointment from the start.

That crime scene investigator bit from diana_black is too real. I once spent a whole afternoon on my knees with a flashlight trying to match pile directions. Ended up with chalk all over my hands and a carpet that still looked off. My partner walked in and thought I was trying to solve a mystery. Told me I needed a magnifying glass and a trench coat. Now I just accept the shine differences, life's too short.

Is there even a bottom to that rabbit hole, or do we just keep falling? I start looking up one tiny fact and end up reading about the history of ceiling fans for three hours. It's like the web is built to trick you into clicking forever. You go in curious and come out confused, with a bunch of useless facts stuck in your head. Why do we let ourselves get pulled in so easily every single time? Maybe the joke's on us for thinking we can just peek in and climb back out.
