100%. Back then I didn’t know that, I assumed contacting the delivery service was the logical step. Some googling then showed me that was wrong and I should have contacted the company right away. But that wasn’t even a thing I thought about googling - it seemed like the feud was with me and Hermes only.

But everyone, take notes.

I had that with a rather expensive parcel from Korea “delivered” by Hermes. They claimed it had been delivered to my post box - a small slit of an apartment building. There were skincare products inside and no way this would have fit in there.

Anyway, it was not there. I wanted to call them to ask about it and jfc it took me a labyrinth of automated answers in a chat bot to even get the number for customer service. Once I called them - same shenanigans. Robo answers, asking for the parcel number. It always ended with “it has been delivered to your post box. Thank you”. Somehow, magically, I finally managed to talk to a person - after pressing a very specific combination of dials during the robo answers which I will never be able to reproduce - I explained them the situation, they said “uhum” (like a nod), started typing in silence, to then tell me “the parcel has been delivered to your post box” I am very glad this was a phone call because at that point I would have gotten violent.

I ended up asking the company I ordered from for help and they just resend the parcel. The missing parcel was never found and I hate hermes.

Dude I still try to fit everything into an overcrowded bus and carry it home from the bus station

I hope when I get dementia I won’t forget that there is a youtube instruction video for everything. I just need to remember they exist. That’s the one thing I must not forget.

Tell me more. How do I make my feet look popping? How do I even get started? I feel I could live with having slutty feet that give me some income

Jesus Christ

For me it’s the other way around :(

Oof not with the news coming out of the french courtroom lately

Is looking ass good or bad?

Absolutely. Everyone knows rice is illiterate, they should have taken barley

Oh can you tell me one?

I need to befriend more gays

I think this is a wink towards the idea that your plants grow better when you talk lovey-dovey to them

God, straight edge is so old I literally had to get a consultation to understand the insult

I too have developed into a very politically correct person with lemmy, I kinda miss being able to make gay jokes

We actually made them once. Was rather meh. There’s also not enough Türkisches Haschisch to have any kind of effect.

For real man, kids make you… forget how to behave in public. I have to relearn that I cannot fart out loud in public after three years at home. I’m not even sure I can poop without someone next to me anymore. Not sure how I’m gonna find a job.

I was actually pretty good at drawing and art but that one time a teacher used my drawing of santa claus as an example of how not to draw and made me cry in front of the whole class still haunts me. She used my next assignment as a positive example in front of class but it didn’t undo it. This was in 2nd or 3rd grade.

Ok that makes sense. I live very urbanized and unfortunately without books and talks my kid would probably grow up thinking meat grows in plastic packaging, so a local farm or butcher is rather out of reach. I’m probably also approaching this more from a laboratory perspective than necessary.

I also hope lab grown meat catches on, but we need a) a really good cell line to not always have to take fresh cell samples from living animals and b) a sustainable and plant based alternative to FCS. I think scaling it up wouldn’t even be such a huge problem eventually. What I am much more surprised by is that so many people have an ick with lab grown meat. How is this grosser than eating a dead animal or insects?

But it should be easy enough to obtain some samples before or during regular slaughter.

It’s a DIY kit for layers to play around at home. I don’t know where I would obtain samples before or during regular slaughter for my 49,99€ kit from Amazon tbh
