Yes that’s correct, I’ve worked in the field, when you place an order online there’s a workflow triggered in the background between your bank, the vendor and visa/Mastercard in the case of credit cards. When you place the order, an authorization is placed on the card, at that stage it goes through a few checks (balance, fraud checks, creation of the transaction ID, etc). If it’s successful, it’ll move to a pending status, at this point it’s just an authorization, during this time the company will prepare your order for shipping. Once it ships, the authorisation gets converted to a settlement, which is when money actually starts getting transferred. Even then it’ll take a few more days for the banks to actually process the transaction before the vendor can refund it.

Of course, this is all just the way it’s done, I’m not saying it’s the right one. Companies use this process because it’s nice and safe, guarantees you won’t be losing money through the cracks, but nothing would stop them from just refunding before this whole transaction shenanigans is fine, they just take more risk.

Imagine hearing that next to your tent in the middle of the night.

I also still have my really old one but I got a couple others, one of which is the current “official” one, the old one is way too compromised lmao. But it looks normal, not a crazy gamer tag or whatever.

But I don’t have my very first one anymore, that was a “caramail” one I can’t even remember what it was but it must’ve surely been extremely cringe.

Woah 200g of meat a day is well sufficient… That is basically my max amount since I pretty much only have meat at dinner and that’s more than a chicken breast which is the most amount of meat I’d consume at one time. I do consume quite a bit of dairy though (used to be cheese, but now for dieting reasons it’s quark yogurts, milk, etc) and a few eggs, need that protein.

But the rest is all legumes, veggies, nuts, cereals, good carbs, etc. I’d struggle to eat more meat than that even when I didn’t give a shit about my diet I think, but now that I do I also cut out all the non lean stuff so that does play a role.

I knew I must be wrong with that when I typed it but for some reason fungus wasn’t coming to me and I said fuck it.

The obscurity and social complexity is the whole reason I’m here haha. My hope is that even if/when fedi apps become the standard, we’ll still have ways to curate ourselves into small corners as that’s just way nicer.

It sounds to me like the original comment and the guy saying 6x the dose are talking about the pure chemical substance whereas the others are talking about the dried plant.

Lmao I didn’t see divine powers, I guess you can just pick that and stop there, once you’re a literal god give yourself anything on the list, easy-peasy.

Wife bad amirite fellas upvotes to the left <-

Most restaurant or premade Cesar salads are not that healthy and have just as much calories as other options. Lettuce in itself is basically just water with a small amount of nutrients so eating it does basically nothing (positive or negative), for some people it might help with satiety by giving you a full stomach feeling but personally I’d rather not chew on greens for hours like a ruminant and prefer to drink ample water alongside/after my meal for the same effect while making sure I eat plenty of vegetables for the actual good nutrients etc.

Anyway yeah these Cesars from restaurants etc are doused in sauce and have a bunch of calorie-dense ingredients so they’re not always a great choice (but fine to have as long as they fit your calorie allowance, just like anything else). Just make sure to balance your carb/fat/protein ratio and not go over the calories, but otherwise just eat whatever you want!

Yep when it hits a bit too strong too quick I go into contemplative mode and start feeling the weight of reality, life, death, what it means to be human, family, the fucked planet and all that jazz. Used to get it real bad with a more fucked up twist like seeing humans like ants or a virus (can’t really explain it better) but now it’s more just about death and stuff… Yepyepyep hope y’all ordered a nice cup of depression this morning. In the end while going over the edge this way sucks once it settles the beneficial aspects come through.

Fuck yeah, punk’s not dead!

I at least understand the water fountains and experienced them a few times here and there but the sink blender waiting to chop your fingers is a total mystery.

Right I meant more the expression itself, first time I see it I think.

What do you mean? I pay for YouTube and never see ads (basically the only service I pay for, I use it a LOT and started feeling guilty towards the creators for blocking ads, so I cancelled Spotify and now use the included yt music and get both for about the same price).

Is a treadmill show just something you watch while you’re on the treadmill?

I sampled that scene in one of my songs.

Holy crap some source on these numbers? Not doubting them just want to read more about it.

What’s a regular deodorant? Also are there any solutions that don’t involve the plastic container for it, I’m already on solid soap and shampoo for years but my deo still produces plastic waste.

I was like “they did WHAT to the clock app??”
