Yeah I figured it wasn’t really about the money. My thought was if you offer them a discount then they still feel like they’re being treated special, and maybe they’ll be more willing to pay you using methods that you can track better for your business purposes.

Maybe offer a small friends and family discount while stressing things can’t be under the table for tax reasons.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds is very good.

my son loves this show and the themes are very wholesome

Sorry if I spoiled anything for you lol

I would read John Dies at the End. I enjoyed the movie and watched it long enough ago the only thing I remember is that John died at the end.

Well I did qualify it with generally lol

Maybe she was trying to get you to believe it but realized after the conversation that you wouldn’t

I generally enjoy your posts and comments :)

Was going to say the same.

I used to be bad at giving and accepting compliments. Thanks or Oh, thank you. That’s my goto response.

Sometimes, depending on the compliment, I might tell a story about the thing I’m being complimented on.

You’re a good dancer.

Oh thanks! I started practicing in my 20s but I didn’t learn to let go and really enjoy it until my 40s.

Well it shows!

Thanks!

It’s horror but I think It is some kinda extea diminisional being.

I guess what I’m saying is a lot of King’s stories are horror but with a bit of sci-fi (Under the Dome and Dreamcatcher for instance probably cross the line into being Sci-fi tbh).

They’re easy to catch with a plastic cup and a piece of paper.

I don’t think I have killed a fly in nearly a decade.

I hope this was satire…

I hope it was satire.

Violence is only okay when it’s sanctioned by the state and primarily affects working class people while benefiting the corporate oligarchs.

Speaking out against state sanctioned violence apparently makes you a tankie.

What’s funny (funny sad not funny haha) is how much liberals need the conservatives.

Yes, we’re capitalist pigs, but at least we’re not fascist capitalist pigs so vote for us!

I didn’t say it was unsafe. Just that we do eat sand.

And yes, I was wrong about TB. Their meat did change drastically in 2012 and I repeated a rumor as to why.

My point was just that the poster I was replying to does eat sand and that the organic label, while a misnomer, is far from meaningless.

Okay, I may have been wrong about TB. They did change their meat formulation about ten years ago (I remember the texture changed drastically, possibly as a PR move by TB when Alabama sued them in 2011).

Silica is a common food additive regardless. You can verify this yourself easily on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia silica and you’ll see it’s a common food additive.

Here’s a paper on glyphosate in food. I read this yesterday to be sure I wasn’t talking out of my ass. It’s a bit dense but if you pick it apart basically cereal grains are the worst offenders.

You probably eat more sand then you realize. It was the filler in Taco Bell meat before they got called out for not having enough beef to call it beef.

So they sourced cheaper beef, of course, and the taste went to shit.

Also, I appreciate the label, even though it is a misnomer. I prefer not eating glyphosate.
