IcyPlayz I live in Cali and its very common for people here to take random trips to Disneyland and my cousins live right on the outskirts of l.a and they go a couple times a year
Imagine spending $180 for a bot to tell you “your life is going to get better hun.” Over and over. Whoever was in that session I feel bad for their wallet...shit I don’t even like buying chips.
Lol best part was that they assumed her life was going poorly to begin with 😂 like she seems to be doing pretty well for herself in terms of her career over the past year haha
ikr haha it seems so dodgy, plus those snacks are from dollar stores in japan so selling it for 30 bucks (and probably shipping too) is just such a rip off
Squishie Kittie yeh i dont think its a horrible idea (especially since not all japanese snacks are sold in asian grocerys) but i just think they shouldnt sell it at 30 bucks
companies: *tries to sponsor Safiya* Safiya: *declines* Also Safiya: *gives free advertisement by still including them in a video* Companies: I see this as an absolute win
As an IT student, I should say that connecting to a random strangers home WiFi isn't safe. Someone with a little bit of expertise in routing can read the data your device is sending and receiving. Look at it like this: the person can sniff out packages your sending/receiving through their router, similarly to someone setting up security cameras facing their doorbell. They put the camera on their router, they know your identity. They could even sniff out usernames and passwords if you're not protected and careful enough. So even though the WiFi map app is nice and all, don't just go connecting to a stranger's WiFi hotspot. Edit: wow, thanks for all the likes and replies y'all! This may be the biggest amount of likes I've ever gotten on a comment.
We tried to bring our Sitpacks into Disneyland yesterday and they were not allowed in! They said there was a tripping hazard for other guests. We didn’t have the option to walk all the way back to our hotel so we surrendered them to security to be thrown away, unfortunately. Just a heads up for anyone who might be watching this video in 2021. Try to have a backup plan in case you can’t bring it into the park.
Also crap power tripping by security peole to throw away people's stuff instead of keeping it until they leave later that night . This isn't an airport where travelers might not return for days, if ever .
I love that safiya doesn't pretend that utube isn't a business. She knows that you don't just go "viral" it takes a lot of work to manage a channel. She seems like such a smart business women and I admire her.
I agree only because when she is sending her message, its like a regular text message. When they write a message, its writing out in front of her..which is strange
I was thinking more like they’re call centre type workers with prepared but flexible scripts, just because using full bots might get risky with repeat customers.
Everyone’s commenting about how she was told Nov-Dec would be good for her and she got engaged but no ones mentioning that she was also told that March-June of 2019 would be good for her career and in that time frame almost every video she published got over 10mil views 👀
Interestingly enough the Kasamba domain was registered in 1999 - but was a general Yahoo Answers type website that said "Copyright LivePerson, Inc." until it went offline around 2008 and started forwarding to the liveperson website. A few years later, Kasamba is rebranded as the psychic website/app that Safiya used.. LivePerson deals in AI and chat bots. This is not definitive proof that it's 100% bots, but if you're considering paying for a psychic -- you will thank yourself if you take that money to a therapist instead.
I was surprised she didn’t recognize it right away as chat bots. The algorithm obviously found key words in her texts and responded. Except the “wear back/black” one. Maybe a live person intervenes after a certain amt of time?
@@marthamathildaI have a friend who I love dearly but she uses tarot cards instead of therapy 🥲 I’m of the belief that things like tarot and astrology can help you process events/feelings/thoughts, but I don’t use them as definitive answers. And I don’t personally pay other people for it. I certainly don’t recommend using it to skirt around making decisions for yourself or to avoid feeling responsible for your actions. My had a bad experience with another friend and apparently the cards said to completely ghost him… so she did. Eventually she came around to talking to him about what upset her and they’re friends again, but I feel like the cards did not help with that at all 😅
I always forget that Saf started on buzzfeed. Like I’m sure being there “helped” her start her channel, but she deserves EVERY single subscriber she has, every dollar she makes on these videos, and every like she gets. She’s so creative and her and Tyler make an absolutely wonderful couple/team. So glad she left buzzfeed. Her creativity is soaring and so I, as a subscriber, am so happy to see that. She’s started so many trends and so many video “challenges”! A real breath of fresh air on RUclips! Love you Saf! ❤️
This is random but if Safiya ever decides to continue her menstrual cycle series, there's a new thing called the Livia kit. You literally stick gel pads to your stomach, press a button, and supposedly POOF. PERIOD PAIN IS GONE. But its hecka expensive. I think it calls for a review! Anyone else agree?
I am not a medic, but menstruation cramps are spasms, so maybe they tense more end then it releases better somehow because it was an artificial spasm. Idk
Fyi: my mate worked for a “psychic” hotline as a “psychic.” she wasn’t psychic in the slightest. She was hired to respond to callers with a script of generalised “predictions.” At first she likened it to an entertainment service, but after a while she began to feel guilty about the business charging people who were in emotionally desperate situations; many elderly, who were trying to connect to loved ones who had passed. In the end she quit, believing it to be unethical and immoral. She felt bad for the people calling in, wasting their money and reported the business to the consumers watchdog authority. However, because the marketing information states (in very, very, small letters) “for entertainment purposes only,” nothing could be done. So, be aware, if you ring psychic hotlines, it is all a bunch of crap. It is a scam preying on vulnerable people who are desperate to hear from loved ones, or to receive assurance in a life that has none. You might as well flush your money down the toilet. If you are in an emotionally bad situation, take your money and go see a qualified psychologist, or a nice day out and treat yourself.
I'm happy that she quit that. I conpletely understand doing it for amusement of others but some customers really need actual help from therapists instead of actors
i'm happy that you refrain from too many sponsorships. you really put thought into if you'd use the product. some youtubers have a sponsor every video...
@@DylanMurphy-j6r Really big youtubers don't need the money "to survive". For example simplynailogical said she earns more money with youtube than her real job. She studied 7 years, has a degree and works as a crime statistics and still gets paid less. But logically all the sponsors go to the big ones, makes sense to get as much people as possible but those who have sponsors that they can use every video live in luxury. Not that it's bad, everyone wants a really good life but we don't have to pretend they die with less of them
Keep in mind that her content is very kid friendly and non controversial, so she never has any problem with ad revenue or getting good sponsorships. Other youtubers who make more controversial videos but still good content get little to no ads on their videos. And RUclips doesn’t put them on trending either. And also not all brands would be willing to work with them. So some youtubers need those sponsorships every video or every few videos to pay the bills
Some notes to point out in regards to the “psychics” app, because as much as I’m willing to believe it, this whole thing seems kinda weird; 1. Starting with the thing most people pointed out-The suspiciously bot-like behavior; Namely, "Safina” being perpetually in a reading and the disjointed responses Safiya points out. Both psychics also seemed to use the same speech patterns and typed at the same pace, which is equally odd. 2. Speaking of typing pace, the fact that you can see every individual letter pop up as the psychic types is almost a dead giveaway. Notice how it's a perfectly consistent rhythm at which letters appear? A person typing on a physical keyboard would have different delays between letters, and at such a slow typing speed those delays would be obvious. I will give some credence to the fact that there are a couple typos shown, which seems a bit less bot-like, but it wouldn't be that hard to intentionally feed the bot a couple messages with typos so it would seem more human. 3. "March to June” would be good for the career: That’s a pretty wide time frame to really be able to hone in on specifics, and her videos in that timeframe seemed to do pretty much the same as any of her other videos. In fact, the video just after the timespan does better view-wise than anything within the span. 4. "November and December” two things here: A) Statistically, most engagements happen in December, B) We don't necessarily even know when Safiya and Tyler's engagement actually happened. Videos take a long time to edit, a fact that Safiya has stated before-they might've gotten engaged a few months prior to the announcement video. C) The way the psychic goes “This year will be good” then says “Especially [the rest of the year]” makes very little sense for a non-bot to say... 5. A small note about listing timeframes in general: It activates a thing called “confirmation bias,” where we will subconsciously focus more on information that confirm what we believe, rather than acknowledging what would prove otherwise. For example; If it said to be cautious during November and December, we’d probably be looking to her making the questionable decision to lob off a bunch of hair in the “RUclips Haircut Tutorial” video in that November. 6. The non-specification and avoidance of astrology: Whether you interpret this as more evidence that points to them being bots, or as a reason to be suspicious of their readings, its undoubtedly a little questionable that both psychics dodge the question fully. Of course, not all psychics use astrology in general, but at the very least a real psychic would tell someone that who was asking whether or not astrology factored into their readings-let alone explain what drives their readings at all. 6. “Say Nice Things and Type Slow:” Above all else, the rates are high, and the psychics are definitely trying to get as much money as they can off of you. Even if they are real people, regardless of whether they have psychic abilities, they're very clearly just taking up as much time as they can with typing, and being extremely complimentary to entice you to stay. Overall, I am not at all against the concept of psychics, as I subscribe to the concept myself to a degree. This app just feels like an attempt to just get a bunch of money by exploiting people’s beliefs.
Also, as someone who somewhat believes in pychics, I feel like an online reading just... wouldn't work no matter what.I don't know why, but it seems like it wouldn't.
Freundin der Blumen & Hunde shes had to wait for all these packages to come, go back to his channel instead of staying here and bitching about something your just assuming. Your opinion is not a fact. Do something more useful with your time
@@kaitlyncipko2864 Bet it's CowChop's Mommy all up in the comments not realizing that there would be a significant wait between video conception & filming due to the shipping issues the box from Japan had. She flat out said they wanted to film several weeks ago (notice that time period would come BEFORE the other video). Had she been able to do so CowChop's Mommy wouldn't be savaging Saf & everyone commenting on the idea itself in EVERY thread that mentions it. It's kinda crazy to go that hardcore over a video they didn't appear to watch (if they had, the timeline would be very clear.)
itsKristiii every time she uploads I kick myself for not coming up with it first because it seems so simple!! But I haven’t seen it before it’s all original and very well documented!
Jgg Galaxy and in her “we’re getting married” video. She said “we’re leaning towards the end of next year” soo I’m thinking that is what the person meant
I didn't expect to see my tweet in there LOL It's always so hit or miss with sponsors, I think we've all had our fair share of verrrrryyyy strange experiences......haha
Ordered a Japanese snack box that was endorsed by another RUclipsr and it was a nightmare experience. They just kept charging my card and sending me boxes even though I paid the higher price for the one time box versus the subscription. Then I couldn't get a hold of customer service. They straight up ignored me. Like you said, snacks are great but the consumer experience is also important! They finally stopped when I commented on another one of the videos they sponsored, complaining about the experience and threatening to file a chargeback with my bank. Never again!
@@sugarkats21 I commented on the video itself, telling the RUclipsr about my experience and encouraging them to do their homework re: potential sponsors. This is also where I mentioned having to resort to a chargeback. They didn't respond, which was disappointing, so I stopped watching their videos. That said, it seemed like the issue was primarily a language barrier, and I'm not going to take someone to task for that. They only offered customer service in Japanese, and it's not their fault they couldn't understand me. I just thought the RUclipsr who recommended them should have been upfront with his viewers about this. Their website was in English, so it was not immediately apparent. Accepting sponsors without doing your homework is exactly what this video is about, hence my comment. If that particular RUclipsr had even just PAUSED recommending the service until the issues were fixed, I wouldn't have had a problem. I liked what I got, I just only ordered one of it and couldn't get help canceling. Safiya says at the end of the snack box segment; "as a consumer I enjoyed what I recieved, but because of some of the logistics [with ordering] I would not endorse it." My thoughts exactly. It's not like I was trying to cancel the snack box company, they're obviously just trying to succeed as a business (which is also something Safiya said in this video.) If you're looking for recommendations about which snack box to order, maybe don't pick based off of random RUclips comments. I left a review on the website itself, which I think was plenty "useful" given the context.
All Danes speak english so she wouldn't have a hard time finding a guide, if she did get lost. And there isn't normaly any food at Danish bars, you might be able to buy chips
Peachy Haley she ordered this stuff like two months ago though...had her items not gone through shipping issues, she could’ve potentially uploaded this even earlier.
@@icansurviveuniversity.imra1405 Yeah, she had the idea over 2 months ago and had to wait for things to be delivered. Which you would have found out if you bothered to read the comments before yours. Saf is one of *the* least clickbait filled, idea stealing people on RUclips today. What's your problem?
Freundin der Blumen & Hunde she's said in multiple videos things take 1-2 months to come in and during when she changed her hair in the makeover video she said something about pre recording tons of videos
@@KINGXDREAMY They still uploaded first and just because she COULD have doesn't mean she did. She used the same exact format as their video and its just sad because I really love Safiya but this seems disrespectful. She could have at least put something in the description.
Tyler: Do you want to make a video subtly shading and calling out companies on their bs products, make a comedic video, or mess with peoples heads on sponsorships? Safiya: yes
Janessa the Wannabe Emo Pastel I know I visited LA for the first time last August and went to Disneyland for the first time at age 24 and I was so excited. Seeing her there where I've been got me so emotional since it was my childhood dream come true.
i laughed at 2:00 when i noticed you have been e-mailing with birckenstock about that sponsorship. I hope you get that sponsorship safiya, if anybody deserves more birckenstocks its you
Someone may have said this before, but most-everything in the Japanese snacks box are from the dollar store here in Japan. Not really quality brands or anything, even the ramen. That was kind of shocking and upsetting lol. The lifeguard gummy is 50 yen here, and someone those brands are too off-brand that Ive never heard of... So if anyone reads this, its not worth it imo....there are so many more tasty snacks in Japan.
Kit Kats are nice. :) Especially the cool flavors and the gourmet ones. Depending on the size of the kitkats it could be a pretty good deal, but it might be more worth it to go to an online store that sells the snacks for a slightly elevated price so you can pick whats good and not get the same old thing, or maybe try rakuten english version (rakuten is like Japan's version of our ebay buy it now) and pay the shipping (not sure how much of a price difference it would be) But I guess its fun to get unknown snacks to try out :) Just hate how they dont give quality for that price.. (the box in the video probably would cost me $5~7 to buy here.) Wish they would present better quality Japanese treats to spread to the world rather than mediocre stuff for the sake of money :(
But it's fun if you want to try Japanese snacks and aren't able to get them. That would be the reason for me to get a box like that. Maybe it's a bit of a steep price, but still fun to give to a friend or to try out.
@@jeilynhernandez9996 The physics said ( the second) said so thing good would happen in November December even though those were the numbers it doesn't necessarily mean it was 2011 love the theory tho
*1:36* " i noticed your videos on RUclips, it is so attractive and informative "... I love that bc they could be talking about you, or they COuld be talking about RUclips. Who really knows?
@@Nkionka They can be programmed to make mistakes. Honestly they're probably people on a shitty wage told to just fluff replies with no actually knowledge on the subject.
Omg yes girl I literally said to my boyfriend “if I were her and had looked into this as a possible partnership that right there would be enough for me to turn down their sponsorship, that’s obviously BS if you have the exact same box to send someone as the first in the 3 month package, you can send just the one... without your customers feeling like they’re being forced out of more money than they anticipated” Truthfully, it’s not even a smart marketing ploy. I get they did it to get people to spend more money, if it were me ordering just because I wanted to try it, i would have ended up choosing a different box that’s not trying to get 3x the money seemingly because they’re not confident in their product. The box def didn’t seem worth the money and they prob don’t get a lot of repeat business. There are a decent amount of Japanese/Asian subscription snack boxes out there, so for a normal consumer (that’s not ordering for a specific reason like Saf) why choose this box? No one likes feeling scammed/forced into spending more money than they wanted to initially.
Lauren C oh my god I just went on the website for the hell of it and you will NEVER believe this. They’re still saying the 1 time purchase is sold out for not only just that box but the other 2 food ones. Weirdly enough they advertise the beauty box but when you go and try to purchase, it says that they no longer carry it and link another website to purchase from. I smell a scam! You can’t run out of a 1 time purchase option because that’s not even a physical product. No wonder why I haven’t seen any other youtubers review this box! Along with what you said with the business side of it, I don’t see these boxes remaining that popular. I went into the FYE at my mall and they had boxes JUST like this and why buy online and wait when you can pick it up that day? Also Target and a lot of grocery stores sell Pocky and other popular japanese snacks. My brother went into the oriental food store we have near us because we like trying new things like this and he found pretty much the exact snacks that come in these boxes for about $2 each. I’m the same as you and I am skeptical with any subscription box and I NEVER pay for the 3 month or 6 month options.
Japanese candy: If you believe that it gives you a power, It really gives you the effect. Psychic: If you believe that it gives you a power, It really gives you the effect.
Because lots of people don't have the money to do this 😂 it was when she said about the 3 months subscription "70 dollars it is"... I'd of had to of thought about that for the good 3 months before getting it 😂
You should go back on the psychic app with the SAME people but pretending to be a different person yourself? Ask them similar questions and see if they’re just saying the same thing to everyone. Would make a good video!
I’ve been on a spell app, it had all kinds. I had a free spell coin so I picked the, have a person call you spell, I was too scared to try the love spells. Well I had broken up with my ex and hadn’t talk to him in a month and a half and was really missing him. The spell said it will take effect within 24 hours. By the next night I had already forgotten until one hour before the 24 hours was up, and he called I kid you not. Coincidence?? 🤷🏻♀️. He said he was just home in bed and couldn’t stop thinking of me
Copying and pasting my reply to another comment: The reason from what I understand is that if you look at the thing for one box, it says current box. They ship the box for that month. The other subscriptions start shipping during the next month. Due to the limited current supply of the current month, they will eventually sell out and no longer be able to ship you that box until they get next month's supply. I think that is the reason.
I had high hopes for that portable chair. But yeah, the elderly would be the ones most in need of something like that.... and I can see them falling over easily.
Its actually just an updated version of something that has been around for a while. We had one when I was little which had a fold out seat (sort of saddle shaped) on a solid stick. Whilst it worked a bit - better perhaps for mild mobility issues, it was awkward to take places because it was a solid stick and it involved being able to push the lock button to fold the seat back down (it was stiff). It did however function quite well as a walking stick when not used as a seat. So I think this foldable version whilst not perfect is a lot more practical in terms of being able to carry it when you don't need to use it. I have seen elderly people using them before in queues so at least some people can manage with them, but they are very particular about how much you can lean on them. From my experiences, you're more likely to be forced to stand up than to fall over because of it as you just can't lean back enough to really lose balance.
I know youtuber Stevie Boebi who suffers with chronic pain recently got something similar though I think hers folds out of a walking stick. She said previously to getting it if queuing for a prolonged amount of time she had to sit on the floor.
@Mia_love18 ms it's possible whoever made the bots made it so they would not only say the same things, but make certain typos sometimes to seem more human. for example, the programmer makes 18 responses, and what the bot says would be randomly generated from those 18, and among those 18 could include 2 or 3 with typos? thats some real conspiracy theory stuff though
This was such a smart video idea! I love Saf’s channel, it’s blossomed into something really new (on the platform) and incredible over the past few years. Saf is one of the few remaining unique content creators that is actually creating worthwhile and informative videos. She comes up with the most interesting topics. She’s funny, creative, and relatable without trying too hard, I genuinely enjoy her personality and her content so much. It’s funny cause she kind of has a channel “theme” but no two videos are the same and it doesn’t feel formulaic like most influencers on the site. I sound like I’m writing a Yelp review/sponsored post: 10/10 would subscribe again (if I wasn’t already)lol #notsponsored
@@icansurviveuniversity.imra1405 No, Saf came up with this idea independently more than 2 months ago. It's entirely possible that they came up with the idea independently, it's a good idea for a video. You have a really big problem with Saf and her channel, I have no idea why though. Of all the RUclipsrs to be this unnecessarily nasty about, Saf is definitely not my first choice. In fact she's none of my choices. What gives?
I can survive university. Well, damn. No offense, but if you have an issue with her content why watch? I’m just genuinely curious... do you like her stuff and just not her? Everyone is entitled to their preferences, I’m just intrigued by your comment. Btw, good luck at university if your username is current, it’s tough but it will be (mostly) worth it lol :)
MsCherade9 yeah i really enjoy her content personally, I’m always interested why people watch someone they don’t like. I wouldn’t watch the Paul brothers personally (in my 20s I’m way out of their demographic lol), but unless they do something scandalous I’m not going out of my way to watch them. I genuinely find it interesting I wanna know why you would watch someone you don’t like lol
I’m kind of creeped out. I feel like the physic app is basically the same person over and over because both of them used like no punctuation and kept staying dear and sweetie.
maybe they just want you to think it's an option. by the time you find out that it's not.... why not buy it anyway? you're invested in this! but i mean 23$ is a wee bit different than 70$ so not sure if that makes sense lol
Agree. Never in my history of subscription boxes have they been sold out. It's just a shady way to get you to be stuck with their box even if you don't like it. All the ones I know of will offer a special item for the year of boxes. Plus the shipping troubles? 😐
If you have a look at the code you can see that it has been hard coded to always be 'unavailable' as the button is disabled in all the forms and the sold out tag is coded in to be there all the time. Also, looking at the data path for the forms the button's data would not be received even if it was clicked as the javascript checks if it has the wrong value and stops it if it isn't a numerical value like the other 2 options. This is clearly a way to trick people into thinking that they offer a one-time purchase even if they don't.
I think the sitpack thing could be really good for people with certain disabilities, chronic illnesses or elderly folks that have troubles with standing upright or walking for too long.
Exactly! Thanks for mentioning this :). I have a back injury that makes standing for a long time very painful (i walk with a cane but standing puts a ton of pressure on my back) and I have actually been looking into the sitpack and other products like it. I'm so glad that safiya reviewed it!
The way the messages came in looked odd to me. It came in like 1 word at a time, so you can see it's clearly padding out time. Most of the messages are probably stock responses they have set up, and send instantly, but the app slows it down so you spend longer having to read them. Either way I'm never going to pay $70 to text someone that will only say good things about what's ahead. If someone told me I have the grim I might be a bit more interested though...
I'm surprised they let you take your butt seat into Disney! They always confiscate selfie sticks because they "can be used as a weapon" but that seat looks way sturdier than a selfie stick! ...also I'm pretty sure those "psychics" were actually bots, not real people 😅 Kind of like Smart Bot.
@@itspowers9107 exactly. Plus, people will use their selfie sticks mid-rides and cause a safety hazard. I doubt people will use their butt sticks mid-ride lol
I can't think of anything to comment, so here's a cinnamon roll recipe: Ingredients For the Dough: 1 cup whole milk one 1/4-ounce packet active dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons) 1/4 cup plus 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the bowl 1 large egg yolk 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg For the Filling: All-purpose flour, for dusting 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the pan 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon For the Glaze: 2 cups confectioners' sugar 1/3 cup heavy cream 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted Directions Make the dough: Warm the milk in a medium saucepan over low heat until it reaches about 100. Remove from the heat and sprinkle in the yeast and 1/4 teaspoon sugar (don't stir). Set aside until foamy, 5 minutes. Whisk in the melted butter, egg yolk and vanilla. Whisk the flour, the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the salt and nutmeg in the bowl of a stand mixer. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until thick and slightly sticky. Knead on medium speed until the dough gathers around the hook, 6 minutes. (Add up to 2 more tablespoons flour if necessary.) Remove the dough and shape into a ball. Butter the mixer bowl and return the dough to the bowl, turning to coat with butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, 1 hour 15 minutes. Roll out the dough, fill and cut into buns (see instructions below). Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan; place the buns cut-side down in the pan, leaving space between each. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325. Bake the buns until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool in the pan 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar into a bowl, then whisk in the cream and melted butter. Transfer the buns to a rack and spoon the glaze on top while still warm. How to Form Cinnamon Buns 1. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-by-14-inch rectangle with the longer side facing you. 2. Spread with the softened butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border on the far long edge. Mix the sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the butter. 3. Brush the unbuttered far edge with water. Roll the dough away from you into a tight cylinder and press on the long edge to seal. 4. Cut the cylinder with a sharp knife to make 6 equal-size buns.
That Kasamba thing seems pretty shady. Considering they didn't actually answer your questions, I'd say they probably just give everyone the same bullshit copy and pasted responses.
I agree, the way they say "sweetie" and "dear" is like the way a lot of very sketchy companies type (I've had experience from this on ebay and stuff) and the way they say "your lucky month is march" could honestly just be a random guess. Real psychics who work in astrology are so much more specific and complicated than just "your lucky number is 13". There was nothing like "you're moon is a ___ and your sun is a ____ so you will be very fortunate in _this area_ of your life" You feel? Very odd to me indeed..

3:40 "You want to buy one box? Sorry, we're sold out."
"Oh, you want to buy 3 boxes?" Sure, we have plenty!"
ikr haha it seems so dodgy, plus those snacks are from dollar stores in japan so selling it for 30 bucks (and probably shipping too) is just such a rip off
Emily yeah but what if you’re not from Japan lmao
Squishie Kittie yeh good point 😂 but there are a lot of asian grocerys too (well where i live anyway) and they sell japanese snacks too.
Emily ohhh yeah same with me lol I just think it’s a good idea idk
Squishie Kittie yeh i dont think its a horrible idea (especially since not all japanese snacks are sold in asian grocerys) but i just think they shouldnt sell it at 30 bucks

As an IT student, I should say that connecting to a random strangers home WiFi isn't safe. Someone with a little bit of expertise in routing can read the data your device is sending and receiving. Look at it like this: the person can sniff out packages your sending/receiving through their router, similarly to someone setting up security cameras facing their doorbell. They put the camera on their router, they know your identity. They could even sniff out usernames and passwords if you're not protected and careful enough.
So even though the WiFi map app is nice and all, don't just go connecting to a stranger's WiFi hotspot.
Edit: wow, thanks for all the likes and replies y'all! This may be the biggest amount of likes I've ever gotten on a comment.
Exactly what I was thinking, why would you want to join someone else’s connection, they could list themselves on this app and just steal your data 😩
I came to the comments section looking for THIS.
This is all I could think about!!! Those security classes they made me take at work were haunting me while watching that part
Matthijs This can be easily mitigated with a VPN. Heck, even HTTPS is enough of a protection to make it too hard for most attackers.
Finally someone is talking about this👍🏻

We tried to bring our Sitpacks into Disneyland yesterday and they were not allowed in! They said there was a tripping hazard for other guests. We didn’t have the option to walk all the way back to our hotel so we surrendered them to security to be thrown away, unfortunately. Just a heads up for anyone who might be watching this video in 2021. Try to have a backup plan in case you can’t bring it into the park.
Sounds like discrimination against disabled people :/
Also crap power tripping by security peole to throw away people's stuff instead of keeping it until they leave later that night . This isn't an airport where travelers might not return for days, if ever .

Pretty sure those "psychics" aren't even real people, let alone real psychics. Those readings have all the hallmarks of chat bots.
Exactly! People in the comments are believing this shit. I've had convos with bots and can detect when something is fishy.
Wb now the March to June thing in the 2nd one and people are watching her videos in quarantine so it was right
I agree only because when she is sending her message, its like a regular text message. When they write a message, its writing out in front of her..which is strange
Yep they're all bots like Smart Bot only worse because they're only coded for very specific topics!
I was thinking more like they’re call centre type workers with prepared but flexible scripts, just because using full bots might get risky with repeat customers.
Everyone’s commenting about how she was told Nov-Dec would be good for her and she got engaged but no ones mentioning that she was also told that March-June of 2019 would be good for her career and in that time frame almost every video she published got over 10mil views 👀
Peyton Waldera how have you got so much time to actually check

Interestingly enough the Kasamba domain was registered in 1999 - but was a general Yahoo Answers type website that said "Copyright LivePerson, Inc." until it went offline around 2008 and started forwarding to the liveperson website. A few years later, Kasamba is rebranded as the psychic website/app that Safiya used.. LivePerson deals in AI and chat bots. This is not definitive proof that it's 100% bots, but if you're considering paying for a psychic -- you will thank yourself if you take that money to a therapist instead.
This is my third time posting this comment, which I'm guessing was filtered as spam. Removed any reference to specific domains this time..
I was surprised she didn’t recognize it right away as chat bots. The algorithm obviously found key words in her texts and responded. Except the “wear back/black” one. Maybe a live person intervenes after a certain amt of time?
as a therapist, i approve - were generally more helpful than this hopefully😅
@@marthamathildaI have a friend who I love dearly but she uses tarot cards instead of therapy 🥲 I’m of the belief that things like tarot and astrology can help you process events/feelings/thoughts, but I don’t use them as definitive answers. And I don’t personally pay other people for it. I certainly don’t recommend using it to skirt around making decisions for yourself or to avoid feeling responsible for your actions. My had a bad experience with another friend and apparently the cards said to completely ghost him… so she did. Eventually she came around to talking to him about what upset her and they’re friends again, but I feel like the cards did not help with that at all 😅

I always forget that Saf started on buzzfeed. Like I’m sure being there “helped” her start her channel, but she deserves EVERY single subscriber she has, every dollar she makes on these videos, and every like she gets. She’s so creative and her and Tyler make an absolutely wonderful couple/team. So glad she left buzzfeed. Her creativity is soaring and so I, as a subscriber, am so happy to see that. She’s started so many trends and so many video “challenges”! A real breath of fresh air on RUclips! Love you Saf! ❤️
Tiffany Grace i agree completely
Tiffany Grace Couldn’t have said it any better! 💘
And Buzzfeed has since tried
to rip off some of her/their content lol
This is random but if Safiya ever decides to continue her menstrual cycle series, there's a new thing called the Livia kit. You literally stick gel pads to your stomach, press a button, and supposedly POOF. PERIOD PAIN IS GONE. But its hecka expensive. I think it calls for a review! Anyone else agree?
I have a Livia. Personally, I have endometriosis and it did not help my cramps more than a heating pad.
Isn't that the thing that's just a tens machine?
That’s just a tens unit. You can get one at any local Walmart or Walgreens for like $20. Don’t waste your money.
If it is just a tens machine it doesn’t make sense that it would help because tens machines just make your muscles tense up and release
I am not a medic, but menstruation cramps are spasms, so maybe they tense more end then it releases better somehow because it was an artificial spasm. Idk
Tyler is killing me with the side comments 😂
“it’s just a 4 loko”
“it’s like if you smoke oregano”
😁
I’m willing to bet that psychic app is a computer that hits on certain words and just has generated scripts
Fyi: my mate worked for a “psychic” hotline as a “psychic.”
she wasn’t psychic in the slightest.
She was hired to respond to callers with a script of generalised “predictions.” At first she likened it to an entertainment service, but after a while she began to feel guilty about the business charging people who were in emotionally desperate situations; many elderly, who were trying to connect to loved ones who had passed.
In the end she quit, believing it to be unethical and immoral. She felt bad for the people calling in, wasting their money and reported the business to the consumers watchdog authority. However, because the marketing information states (in very, very, small letters) “for entertainment purposes only,” nothing could be done.
So, be aware, if you ring psychic hotlines, it is all a bunch of crap. It is a scam preying on vulnerable people who are desperate to hear from loved ones, or to receive assurance in a life that has none. You might as well flush your money down the toilet. If you are in an emotionally bad situation, take your money and go see a qualified psychologist, or a nice day out and treat yourself.
I'm happy that she quit that. I conpletely understand doing it for amusement of others but some customers really need actual help from therapists instead of actors
Yes, completely agree with you. Entertainment is one thing, but taking financial advantage of people’s very real grief is repulsive.
There are no psychics, just a bunch of crooks
sam smith Does this psychic hotline happen to come on at every night at like 12am when tv shopping is on? Lmao
Not all of them are full of crap. I actually met one on holiday who helped my mom. She didn't get paid for it nor ask for payment.
i'm happy that you refrain from too many sponsorships. you really put thought into if you'd use the product. some youtubers have a sponsor every video...
roguekiwii
You mean every yiay 😂😂😂
Like who
Sorry they need money to survive :/
@@DylanMurphy-j6r Really big youtubers don't need the money "to survive". For example simplynailogical said she earns more money with youtube than her real job. She studied 7 years, has a degree and works as a crime statistics and still gets paid less.
But logically all the sponsors go to the big ones, makes sense to get as much people as possible but those who have sponsors that they can use every video live in luxury. Not that it's bad, everyone wants a really good life but we don't have to pretend they die with less of them
Keep in mind that her content is very kid friendly and non controversial, so she never has any problem with ad revenue or getting good sponsorships. Other youtubers who make more controversial videos but still good content get little to no ads on their videos. And RUclips doesn’t put them on trending either. And also not all brands would be willing to work with them.
So some youtubers need those sponsorships every video or every few videos to pay the bills
Some notes to point out in regards to the “psychics” app, because as much as I’m willing to believe it, this whole thing seems kinda weird;
1. Starting with the thing most people pointed out-The suspiciously bot-like behavior; Namely, "Safina” being perpetually in a reading and the disjointed responses Safiya points out. Both psychics also seemed to use the same speech patterns and typed at the same pace, which is equally odd.
2. Speaking of typing pace, the fact that you can see every individual letter pop up as the psychic types is almost a dead giveaway. Notice how it's a perfectly consistent rhythm at which letters appear? A person typing on a physical keyboard would have different delays between letters, and at such a slow typing speed those delays would be obvious. I will give some credence to the fact that there are a couple typos shown, which seems a bit less bot-like, but it wouldn't be that hard to intentionally feed the bot a couple messages with typos so it would seem more human.
3. "March to June” would be good for the career: That’s a pretty wide time frame to really be able to hone in on specifics, and her videos in that timeframe seemed to do pretty much the same as any of her other videos. In fact, the video just after the timespan does better view-wise than anything within the span.
4. "November and December” two things here: A) Statistically, most engagements happen in December, B) We don't necessarily even know when Safiya and Tyler's engagement actually happened. Videos take a long time to edit, a fact that Safiya has stated before-they might've gotten engaged a few months prior to the announcement video. C) The way the psychic goes “This year will be good” then says “Especially [the rest of the year]” makes very little sense for a non-bot to say...
5. A small note about listing timeframes in general: It activates a thing called “confirmation bias,” where we will subconsciously focus more on information that confirm what we believe, rather than acknowledging what would prove otherwise. For example; If it said to be cautious during November and December, we’d probably be looking to her making the questionable decision to lob off a bunch of hair in the “RUclips Haircut Tutorial” video in that November.
6. The non-specification and avoidance of astrology: Whether you interpret this as more evidence that points to them being bots, or as a reason to be suspicious of their readings, its undoubtedly a little questionable that both psychics dodge the question fully. Of course, not all psychics use astrology in general, but at the very least a real psychic would tell someone that who was asking whether or not astrology factored into their readings-let alone explain what drives their readings at all.
6. “Say Nice Things and Type Slow:” Above all else, the rates are high, and the psychics are definitely trying to get as much money as they can off of you. Even if they are real people, regardless of whether they have psychic abilities, they're very clearly just taking up as much time as they can with typing, and being extremely complimentary to entice you to stay.
Overall, I am not at all against the concept of psychics, as I subscribe to the concept myself to a degree. This app just feels like an attempt to just get a bunch of money by exploiting people’s beliefs.
damn this must have taken u ages to write-
@@avir2637 Yeah it did

Ordered a Japanese snack box that was endorsed by another RUclipsr and it was a nightmare experience. They just kept charging my card and sending me boxes even though I paid the higher price for the one time box versus the subscription. Then I couldn't get a hold of customer service. They straight up ignored me. Like you said, snacks are great but the consumer experience is also important! They finally stopped when I commented on another one of the videos they sponsored, complaining about the experience and threatening to file a chargeback with my bank. Never again!
why didn't you mention the name of the box in your comment so it's actually useful?
@@sugarkats21 I commented on the video itself, telling the RUclipsr about my experience and encouraging them to do their homework re: potential sponsors. This is also where I mentioned having to resort to a chargeback. They didn't respond, which was disappointing, so I stopped watching their videos. That said, it seemed like the issue was primarily a language barrier, and I'm not going to take someone to task for that. They only offered customer service in Japanese, and it's not their fault they couldn't understand me. I just thought the RUclipsr who recommended them should have been upfront with his viewers about this. Their website was in English, so it was not immediately apparent. Accepting sponsors without doing your homework is exactly what this video is about, hence my comment. If that particular RUclipsr had even just PAUSED recommending the service until the issues were fixed, I wouldn't have had a problem. I liked what I got, I just only ordered one of it and couldn't get help canceling. Safiya says at the end of the snack box segment; "as a consumer I enjoyed what I recieved, but because of some of the logistics [with ordering] I would not endorse it." My thoughts exactly. It's not like I was trying to cancel the snack box company, they're obviously just trying to succeed as a business (which is also something Safiya said in this video.) If you're looking for recommendations about which snack box to order, maybe don't pick based off of random RUclips comments. I left a review on the website itself, which I think was plenty "useful" given the context.
I'd love to see a video of Safiya lost in Denmark, just yelling beer and chicken at bypassers 😂
That would be amazing 😂👌
I second this very very much!!!! It would be AMAZING!! :D :D :D
That's basically a bar with a toaster oven, right? Beer and chicken fingers/wings.
Her and Conan O'Brien should go together.
All Danes speak english so she wouldn't have a hard time finding a guide, if she did get lost. And there isn't normaly any food at Danish bars, you might be able to buy chips

Someone may have said this before, but most-everything in the Japanese snacks box are from the dollar store here in Japan. Not really quality brands or anything, even the ramen. That was kind of shocking and upsetting lol. The lifeguard gummy is 50 yen here, and someone those brands are too off-brand that Ive never heard of...
So if anyone reads this, its not worth it imo....there are so many more tasty snacks in Japan.
Kit Kats are nice. :) Especially the cool flavors and the gourmet ones. Depending on the size of the kitkats it could be a pretty good deal, but it might be more worth it to go to an online store that sells the snacks for a slightly elevated price so you can pick whats good and not get the same old thing, or maybe try rakuten english version (rakuten is like Japan's version of our ebay buy it now) and pay the shipping (not sure how much of a price difference it would be)
But I guess its fun to get unknown snacks to try out :) Just hate how they dont give quality for that price.. (the box in the video probably would cost me $5~7 to buy here.) Wish they would present better quality Japanese treats to spread to the world rather than mediocre stuff for the sake of money :(
Fh220
Thing is,flying out to Japan to get them is a lot more tedious than just paying double the price in the US
キャロリン oh i didnt know any of that i wonder if anyone does ship quality snacks
But it's fun if you want to try Japanese snacks and aren't able to get them. That would be the reason for me to get a box like that. Maybe it's a bit of a steep price, but still fun to give to a friend or to try out.
It's not sponsored but not gonna lie, Safiya totally made me wanna buy that bomb japanese box

The one time box option being sold out was so sketchy...
Gigi The Waitress right?! but yet if you buy the 3 month package they still need to send you a box for that month that is “sold out” i was like uhhh 🙄
Omg yes girl I literally said to my boyfriend “if I were her and had looked into this as a possible partnership that right there would be enough for me to turn down their sponsorship, that’s obviously BS if you have the exact same box to send someone as the first in the 3 month package, you can send just the one... without your customers feeling like they’re being forced out of more money than they anticipated”
Truthfully, it’s not even a smart marketing ploy. I get they did it to get people to spend more money, if it were me ordering just because I wanted to try it, i would have ended up choosing a different box that’s not trying to get 3x the money seemingly because they’re not confident in their product. The box def didn’t seem worth the money and they prob don’t get a lot of repeat business. There are a decent amount of Japanese/Asian subscription snack boxes out there, so for a normal consumer (that’s not ordering for a specific reason like Saf) why choose this box?
No one likes feeling scammed/forced into spending more money than they wanted to initially.
Lauren C oh my god I just went on the website for the hell of it and you will NEVER believe this. They’re still saying the 1 time purchase is sold out for not only just that box but the other 2 food ones. Weirdly enough they advertise the beauty box but when you go and try to purchase, it says that they no longer carry it and link another website to purchase from. I smell a scam! You can’t run out of a 1 time purchase option because that’s not even a physical product. No wonder why I haven’t seen any other youtubers review this box!
Along with what you said with the business side of it, I don’t see these boxes remaining that popular. I went into the FYE at my mall and they had boxes JUST like this and why buy online and wait when you can pick it up that day? Also Target and a lot of grocery stores sell Pocky and other popular japanese snacks. My brother went into the oriental food store we have near us because we like trying new things like this and he found pretty much the exact snacks that come in these boxes for about $2 each. I’m the same as you and I am skeptical with any subscription box and I NEVER pay for the 3 month or 6 month options.
It really did. If they are already "sold out" why are they sponsoring influencers??
I thought that it would have been because it has different products, so it's like a taste of the box but idk
safiya you always go above and beyond. love that!!
Natalies Outlet *I agree, I also love your channel 💕*

The candy did it better
Otherwise know as, the placebo effect. :)

Who else is binge watching Safiya during quarantine?
Quan hello fellow bored freind
Ngl it said March-June will be good for her career so is this talking about cuz we are in quarantine
commentary angel oh yeah, so maybe it’s not all bs?
Brooke Roberts Hi yes I’m very bored and really want to go out and get pizza☹️
Quan we can order delivery and eat in the backyard. I have some soda. How is Domino’s.
1:33 Ok I STAN those silicon brushes. If you have curly hair, you honestly won't find a better best friend. No freaking lie.
I feel all the trends are started by Saf nowadays
Me too!!
Just dont forget it was christene's idea for the 100 layers challenge
It’s true.
Just the microscope one it’s now. Started from Tina 😁
Dubstep Doge cristine
no other youtuber would do something like this ugh this is why we stan safiya
Because lots of people don't have the money to do this 😂 it was when she said about the 3 months subscription "70 dollars it is"... I'd of had to of thought about that for the good 3 months before getting it 😂
You should go back on the psychic app with the SAME people but pretending to be a different person yourself? Ask them similar questions and see if they’re just saying the same thing to everyone. Would make a good video!
yesss
haha duck dick, nice name
that would be funny IF there was no money involved. i don't think it's worth it. we can kind of tell they're hacks.
Yess that’s a great idea!
I’ve been on a spell app, it had all kinds. I had a free spell coin so I picked the, have a person call you spell, I was too scared to try the love spells. Well I had broken up with my ex and hadn’t talk to him in a month and a half and was really missing him. The spell said it will take effect within 24 hours. By the next night I had already forgotten until one hour before the 24 hours was up, and he called I kid you not. Coincidence?? 🤷🏻♀️. He said he was just home in bed and couldn’t stop thinking of me
the 1 month options is "sold out"... right
Copying and pasting my reply to another comment:
The reason from what I understand is that if you look at the thing for one box, it says current box. They ship the box for that month. The other subscriptions start shipping during the next month. Due to the limited current supply of the current month, they will eventually sell out and no longer be able to ship you that box until they get next month's supply. I think that is the reason.
I had high hopes for that portable chair. But yeah, the elderly would be the ones most in need of something like that.... and I can see them falling over easily.
Yes that would be a little dangerous so GRANDMA BE CAREFUL!!!
Its actually just an updated version of something that has been around for a while. We had one when I was little which had a fold out seat (sort of saddle shaped) on a solid stick. Whilst it worked a bit - better perhaps for mild mobility issues, it was awkward to take places because it was a solid stick and it involved being able to push the lock button to fold the seat back down (it was stiff). It did however function quite well as a walking stick when not used as a seat.
So I think this foldable version whilst not perfect is a lot more practical in terms of being able to carry it when you don't need to use it. I have seen elderly people using them before in queues so at least some people can manage with them, but they are very particular about how much you can lean on them. From my experiences, you're more likely to be forced to stand up than to fall over because of it as you just can't lean back enough to really lose balance.
I know youtuber Stevie Boebi who suffers with chronic pain recently got something similar though I think hers folds out of a walking stick. She said previously to getting it if queuing for a prolonged amount of time she had to sit on the floor.
Heyyy... For 15% off buy the sitpacks and Life alert bundle. Available for a limited time
I think she found the most useful place for it: theme park lines. I just don’t see that it’s worth carting around any other time
I literally watch every single video you post and have never been disappointed
lmao that psychic app is such a scam. theyre obivously bots
iknoooo!! the way they type is sooooo like a BOT!!! OMG ALL BOSSES R BOTS!! duh! how come i juuust realized?? >.
Wut
no they're not because when she said "wearing back on saturdays", she corrected herself
@Mia_love18 ms it's possible whoever made the bots made it so they would not only say the same things, but make certain typos sometimes to seem more human.
for example, the programmer makes 18 responses, and what the bot says would be randomly generated from those 18, and among those 18 could include 2 or 3 with typos?
thats some real conspiracy theory stuff though
Aslı G. So I haven’t watched the vid yet but I got a commercial from it and from even the ad, it seemed fake

This was such a smart video idea! I love Saf’s channel, it’s blossomed into something really new (on the platform) and incredible over the past few years. Saf is one of the few remaining unique content creators that is actually creating worthwhile and informative videos. She comes up with the most interesting topics. She’s funny, creative, and relatable without trying too hard, I genuinely enjoy her personality and her content so much. It’s funny cause she kind of has a channel “theme” but no two videos are the same and it doesn’t feel formulaic like most influencers on the site.
I sound like I’m writing a Yelp review/sponsored post: 10/10 would subscribe again (if I wasn’t already)lol #notsponsored
cowchop did it first. not that saf would care about that.
@@icansurviveuniversity.imra1405 No, Saf came up with this idea independently more than 2 months ago. It's entirely possible that they came up with the idea independently, it's a good idea for a video. You have a really big problem with Saf and her channel, I have no idea why though. Of all the RUclipsrs to be this unnecessarily nasty about, Saf is definitely not my first choice. In fact she's none of my choices. What gives?
I can survive university. Well, damn. No offense, but if you have an issue with her content why watch? I’m just genuinely curious... do you like her stuff and just not her? Everyone is entitled to their preferences, I’m just intrigued by your comment. Btw, good luck at university if your username is current, it’s tough but it will be (mostly) worth it lol :)
MsCherade9 yeah i really enjoy her content personally, I’m always interested why people watch someone they don’t like. I wouldn’t watch the Paul brothers personally (in my 20s I’m way out of their demographic lol), but unless they do something scandalous I’m not going out of my way to watch them. I genuinely find it interesting I wanna know why you would watch someone you don’t like lol
I’m kind of creeped out. I feel like the physic app is basically the same person over and over because both of them used like no punctuation and kept staying dear and sweetie.
i think it was an AI
BookMilla Oh duh, good point! More than likely it is. It’s almost no different than the creepy AI chats. Besides the ridiculous fees.
you should try extreme couponing
good idea
that’s a good idea!!
YEEEEESSSSSSS
Uhmm, yes
yessssssssss
You should do a part two of this video! It’s very interesting
I think the sit pack is perfect for Disney. Also, I may try that subscription box. I love ramen.
I'd like one that's also a walking stick (but doesn't look like you're about to go a-huntin' or like you're 100 years old)
Same. I love ramen (I’m in college so..)
Same
''Let me stand up so I can sit down'' *LOGIC*
😂😂😂😂
My kind of logic.
The "one time only" option on the first product being unavailable seems shady af
maybe they just want you to think it's an option. by the time you find out that it's not.... why not buy it anyway? you're invested in this! but i mean 23$ is a wee bit different than 70$ so not sure if that makes sense lol
Agree. Never in my history of subscription boxes have they been sold out. It's just a shady way to get you to be stuck with their box even if you don't like it. All the ones I know of will offer a special item for the year of boxes. Plus the shipping troubles? 😐
Sooo shady
I’ve literally never seen that and I subscribe to boxes all the time.
If you have a look at the code you can see that it has been hard coded to always be 'unavailable' as the button is disabled in all the forms and the sold out tag is coded in to be there all the time. Also, looking at the data path for the forms the button's data would not be received even if it was clicked as the javascript checks if it has the wrong value and stops it if it isn't a numerical value like the other 2 options. This is clearly a way to trick people into thinking that they offer a one-time purchase even if they don't.
Safiya is the most adult way to be a kid. Love it.
I think the sitpack thing could be really good for people with certain disabilities, chronic illnesses or elderly folks that have troubles with standing upright or walking for too long.
True, but the thing is uncomfortable enough and requires enough fiddling that half of them wouldn't bother.
Exactly! Thanks for mentioning this :). I have a back injury that makes standing for a long time very painful (i walk with a cane but standing puts a ton of pressure on my back) and I have actually been looking into the sitpack and other products like it. I'm so glad that safiya reviewed it!
U and Shane Dawson are basically only youtubers that I can watch for 25 minutes straight.
*s a m e*
*oof same*
the psychic app looks like those typical scam sites
And so does the Wi-Fi one
I was wondering whether the psychics are just bots, because they seemed to talk very much the same way.
@@elainelouve Yeah to me they kindof looked like bots too
The way the messages came in looked odd to me. It came in like 1 word at a time, so you can see it's clearly padding out time. Most of the messages are probably stock responses they have set up, and send instantly, but the app slows it down so you spend longer having to read them. Either way I'm never going to pay $70 to text someone that will only say good things about what's ahead. If someone told me I have the grim I might be a bit more interested though...
@@Eventide215 you have the grim... Email for more 🤣
I'm surprised they let you take your butt seat into Disney! They always confiscate selfie sticks because they "can be used as a weapon" but that seat looks way sturdier than a selfie stick!
...also I'm pretty sure those "psychics" were actually bots, not real people 😅 Kind of like Smart Bot.
That's not why they confiscate selfie sticks. Umbrellas and selfies stick can make it harder for people to see fireworks shows and thing like that.
@@itspowers9107 exactly. Plus, people will use their selfie sticks mid-rides and cause a safety hazard. I doubt people will use their butt sticks mid-ride lol
I think I've seen other people use those seat sticks at Disneyland
My god I'm obsessed with this woman. It started with the wish outfits for under 5 dollars and now I'm in a hole. 2 hours of her videos. All right! 😘
Holly Carter yasss
She's seriously the best 🥰 I'm obsessed with her too!
The night I found out abt her i watched for four whole hours without getting up
Forget the kpop hole its the saf-ty hole
And you will go back in for another 2 hours each time you need to be enlightened by how good these videos are
"WE HARASS POST OFFICE UNTIL THEY GIVE IT TO US" I honestly DIED!😂😂🤣
Whn did she say tht? Wht time??😂
When she shows the calendar
I can't think of anything to comment, so here's a cinnamon roll recipe:
Ingredients
For the Dough:
1 cup whole milk
one 1/4-ounce packet active dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
1/4 cup plus 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the bowl
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
For the Filling:
All-purpose flour, for dusting
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the Glaze:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Make the dough: Warm the milk in a medium saucepan over low heat until it reaches about 100. Remove from the heat and sprinkle in the yeast and 1/4 teaspoon sugar (don't stir). Set aside until foamy, 5 minutes. Whisk in the melted butter, egg yolk and vanilla.
Whisk the flour, the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the salt and nutmeg in the bowl of a stand mixer. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until thick and slightly sticky. Knead on medium speed until the dough gathers around the hook, 6 minutes. (Add up to 2 more tablespoons flour if necessary.)
Remove the dough and shape into a ball. Butter the mixer bowl and return the dough to the bowl, turning to coat with butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, 1 hour 15 minutes.
Roll out the dough, fill and cut into buns (see instructions below). Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan; place the buns cut-side down in the pan, leaving space between each. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325.
Bake the buns until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool in the pan 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar into a bowl, then whisk in the cream and melted butter. Transfer the buns to a rack and spoon the glaze on top while still warm.
How to Form Cinnamon Buns
1. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-by-14-inch rectangle with the longer side facing you.
2. Spread with the softened butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border on the far long edge. Mix the sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the butter.
3. Brush the unbuttered far edge with water. Roll the dough away from you into a tight cylinder and press on the long edge to seal.
4. Cut the cylinder with a sharp knife to make 6 equal-size buns.
i love that for you
Jess the reason that you our so much effort...... respect
It’s not vegan so
Why isn't this pinned this needs to be pinned
Ok... Im saving this...
Wait the silicone shampoo scrubby thing is actually pretty great. I had one and loved it
'We just wouldn't wanna do an unboxing video that was sponsored by the company itself.'
Saf is lowkey a savage
She's the best
You can always trust safiya for original content😂💜
keep trolling your potential sponsor bitch see how long we are supporting you...
Rudy Simmons what??
That Kasamba thing seems pretty shady. Considering they didn't actually answer your questions, I'd say they probably just give everyone the same bullshit copy and pasted responses.
I agree, the way they say "sweetie" and "dear" is like the way a lot of very sketchy companies type (I've had experience from this on ebay and stuff) and the way they say "your lucky month is march" could honestly just be a random guess. Real psychics who work in astrology are so much more specific and complicated than just "your lucky number is 13". There was nothing like "you're moon is a ___ and your sun is a ____ so you will be very fortunate in _this area_ of your life" You feel? Very odd to me indeed..
"Real psychics"
lmaoooo psychic donna apperantly does told the girl her bf was cheating and won't stop lolol in the add i see every damn video i try to watch a video
I agree, it could have also been a simple Bot, so no real person at all.
I work for a psychic site. I am not psychic... Draw your own conclusions!
My dream: Going to Disneyland
Saf: *eh, just need to ta go to try out a **_stick_*
