Chinese sellers are fucking shit. No matter what site you use, they all do the same thing. I guess I'm kind of used to it now.

So what is it they do? They will respond to an order quickly. They will claim they are processing the order, and then they will claim they are shipping the order. You will get a confirmation that the order has been shipped. Then like a week later you'll notice the shipping has been cancelled or the order is delayed in some way. And then you can be waiting for weeks for them to actually do something. lol

They give you the worst service you can imagine, and it's all intentional. It's simply how they operate. They give you the impression the order has been shipped so that you don't cancel and order somewhere else. Then they say it has been cancelled or delayed weeks later. Wait a minute, I thought you had already shipped it?

It gives you the impression that you're being scammed. When that first happened to me, I thought I was being scammed. Eventually though, you get the product you ordered. You get used to it. It has happened to me every single time. Every Chinese seller does it. lol

some brethren boys roughed me up and said something similar to me after i showed their sister my dong in primary school. my mum just laughed when i told her

didn't really allay my concerns and the whole thing stuck with me for a while. even went to sunday school with a mormon kid in my class to try absolve my sin.

If you’ve never done them at all, pop like 5 or 10 mg, and just see how that is. Most likely a very mild experience, worst case a waste of money. Build up from there. Gummies are simplest and tastiest usually, but I’ve had a lot of different stuff, even hot sauce! Lol

Really give it time before re-upping a dose, that’s the biggest rookie mistake.

Yeah it takes about an hour or two to kick in. For reference, I'm 170 pounds and I way overdid it with like 20 mg of edible chocolate, ended up with a 12 hour panic attack. I smoked weed for years in college but this was my first time doing it again in a while so I had no tolerance.

If you want to avoid overdosing, the easiest thing to do is to just smoke it really but that's not great for your lungs of course. However, it does give you a small dose at a time and you instantly feel it so you know how your body is reacting to it.

The exam is just bad, I think I will look into an alternative way to earn credit points or offer a second exam, because I never had that many people fail.

I was filling out some USA forms and it struck me as weird how most official forms are Last Name / First Name in that order. But then in most English language stuff like credit rolls we list names as First Name / Last Name.

It's one thing in Japan where everything is Last Name / First Name order and in sync. But I don't understand why so many official US paperwork and stuff is Last Name / First Name. It's just weird to me.

EchoRin · « **Reply #35004 on:** July 26, 2020, 09:11:10 PM »

Beps, let's be honost. A lot of things in the US don't seem to make sense. The order of the date. I know I know, 9/11 wouldn't have the same ring as 11/9 (stupid ass joke on my part. sry), but day/month/year is a much more sensible way of writing out the date. Whatever. Celsius rocks too. I hate fahrenheit even though I've spent most of my life in the States.

LTTP but in terms of filling out forms that are likely to be alphabetized it just made sense to have the last name first in the era of paper. Alphabatize by last name, then first name, then middle initial. I feel like in the digital age you see it both ways. Outside of filling out forms, western notions of individualism have placed predominance on our first name as our identity. Our familial name is rather inconsequential compared to other cultures. Quite often in the old world, your last name was just the town you were born in or your profession. You think I'm going to identify as a Shoemaker or a Smith or a Miller?
