Revealed: the Operators Behind Four Major Neo-Nazi X Accounts

I don’t see how you can possibly enjoy US chocolate. It tastes like sawdust that’s been drowned in sugar and soaked with baby vomit.
\
It tastes like that, by the way, because that’s roughly what it is. American chocolate (I’m talking about the non-fancy stuff) has a lot more sugar and a lot less cocoa than its European counterparts. Some producers also allegedly put their milk through a process called controlled lipolysis which produces butyric acid. What’s that when it’s at home? It’s something that’s found in vomit. God knows what else Americans get up to in their chocolate factories. A lawsuit recently filed in New York alleges that Hershey, which has the licence to produce Cadbury products in the US, β€œfails to disclose” that some of its chocolate products β€œcontain unsafe levels of lead and cadmium”.
\
There may be identifiable reasons that explain why US chocolate is so gross but here’s what I have a hard time understanding: why do Americans, who excel at many things, stand for this? Why are they so complacent about their terrible healthcare system and their chlorinated chicken and their rancid chocolate? I’m not being a chocolate snob here (well, I’m only being a little bit of a snob), because there’s a serious side to this: Europe is a lot stricter about many food additives than the US. Americans have basically been poisoned into believing that their chocolate tastes nice, I reckon.

Billing question


@#SpaceHost Help Well that was stupid, I messaged you about a billing question on my Mastodon instance just before it was shutting down, whoops.

Any how, as I asked over there, my payment bounced, apparently my bank didn't like you, and your system is rather hyperactive about re-trying which really pissed them off. I believe it's sorted now, and I updated the card to the same one, but haven't seen a new attempt. Kinda wish y'all took PayPal, that always works.

in reply to Kāpitan

This is something that has not happened before. The issue with payment was most likely with the bank.

However, thank you for the feedback. We have noted your suggestion

in reply to #SpaceHost Help

@#SpaceHost Help It was a bit of both, when your first payment request went in at 1031, the bank sent me a text asking if it was valid, and I wasn't near my phone, so it took a bit for me to reply. The bank is showing another charge at 1031, likely your billing system trying again since the first didn't go through, and since then there's been no attempt to collect payment for my instance.

What? Turn left on Bandersnatch LN?

Actually in St Charles I wouldn't be surprised to see that

I did tell my fam I didn't need any more coffee makers...


and then I bought this today at Ollie's

Tornado effect allows you to make cold brew coffee in minutes instead of 12 to 24 hours...
Yeah, sounds like horse hockey to me, and definitely not the kind of thing I'd normally buy, but it was... $5. Yeah, really, how could I refuse at that price?

Might be trash, but I've wasted the price of what, less than one cup of coffee at Starbucks?
