Boom!
The problem is finally sorted out—total happy ending. 😁

Chris Nelson26 said:So, what's the move? 🙂

Should I actually go ahead and grab this dextrose or what?

Just buy it, man. It's already sitting in your DM anyway.

If you thought you knew stuff before, just wait until you log onto this forum... you'll realize you don't know a thing, and honestly, maybe you never will. 😁

Well, that's just the beauty of living in a democracy, I guess! 😁

Food

But man, honestly? It’s just so hard to find anything cheaper than dextrose and whey once you actually sit down and factor in the total cost of everything else you have to buy alongside it... I guess.

Olivia Walker87 said:So where am I supposed to post this topic then??

Honestly, you put it in the best spot possible; it’s just that the replies might not be exactly what you were hoping for.

But hey, they’ll be useful and actually realistic, and if you listen to them, I guess they'll point you in the right direction.

Those weight loss pills? Yeah, that's definitely not the way to go.

Nope.

Steven Nguyen87 said:5-10%? Interesting. What kind of scientific method did you use to come up with that?

Well, mostly just the process of elimination, I guess!
It's clearly not 0.1%, and it's definitely not 25%.
So, I mean, that leaves us with the actual answer being somewhere around 5-10%.

-Steve

No way.
You just can't trade a top-tier messenger in a prisoner exchange for some worthless collection of old-school leftist pamphlets from the Los Angeles Times.

It’s honestly like we're sacrificing one of our own national heroes just to get some coward from the other side back.

I honestly feel like this whole thread is just a sneaky attempt to bring back communist-style censorship, IMO

-Stipe

So, I guess $20 they went ahead and took your benefits

Aha.

So you're telling me he’s swimming all the way from Norway? Like, maybe a little bit toward Spain, then straight through the Mediterranean Sea?
And does he go through the English Channel, or does he take a detour up past the Irish Highlands? 😁

That sounds like a pretty wild story to me.

-briskjackal5

Nobody ever said anything like that.
Honestly, it sounds like you might be tripping on some mushrooms or something

I mean, just give them a call! Explain the whole situation—like, which specific transaction you're talking about—and ask them straight up what their fee is for processing an incoming wire in your case.
I'm telling you, there are banks right here in the States that'll handle all that for $3.25

And honestly, what "his" bank charges them for international wire transfers is totally out of your hands. That’s just how things work in the USA, I guess... it's kind of $10.

-Joe

Maybe try Skrill or just go straight to your Chase account? Honestly, dealing with those transfer fees is such a headache $3.25

Larry Wilson25 said:I really hope you get that I’m not trying to be mean or troll anyone here! It’s just... sometimes I feel like there isn't enough text flying around or enough energy in the threads. I guess I just wish we had at least twice as many people active, which is why I suggested merging with the main site.

I mean, it's not like anyone is actually stopping you from clicking over to LJS and posting there too.
Whether we merge or not, it's up to you. 😁

Larry Wilson25 said:So, what’s even the point of this horoscope thread?

Well, I guess the whole idea is just for people to write stuff and read it... 😁
It isn't really a "chat" thread anyway, if you ask me.

There's an entire subforum dedicated to that, and honestly, the folks posting there hardly ever show up anywhere else on the site.

So?
If someone happens to be into astrology and drops by just to share a thought, I don't see why that's such a big deal, really.

Sarah Sanders34 said:I actually have a question for the USA staff: why did you guys shut down that one legendary thread? It was seriously one of the most epic discussions on that whole subforum.

I noticed the explanation you gave before locking it was about how—every once in a while (and I mean *really* rarely)—some people pop in and leave threatening or nasty comments toward others because they aren't brave enough to say it to their face.

But, I mean, isn't a moderator's job to clean up stuff like that everywhere? There's always something to delete, right? If it's just a tiny bit of extra effort to scrub a few bad posts after checking the thread once in a while, then it feels like a huge bummer to kill off such a great thread. That topic was basically a trademark of the USA community.

Yeah, you guys should totally reopen it.

-Steve

I honestly don't get the whole vibe of taking photos in black leggings, especially from such a close-up angle just to "show off your legs"...

And hey, don't go thinking I'm some kind of creep or anything, but if you're taking photos specifically for that purpose, maybe just take the clothes off first? 😁

Alright, look, I know this isn't even remotely "overbuilt,"

Oh, it definitely is.

It’s absolutely massive.

Jack Ward82 said:She’s 5'2" and 115 lbs, and you’re actually suggesting she lose weight?

Well, what else is there left for her to do, I guess?
Are you aiming for liposuction or something?
I mean, you probably think you're some big-shot doctor since that's your avatar, right? But, honestly, staying natural is way better.

-Steve

Yeah, honestly, you can find them at pretty much every dance studio out there, so I'd say just scout around for whichever one is closest to you, has the best rates, and fits your schedule best.

-Steve

Just adding my two cents here—can we please get more posts per page?
Like, I think having 100 posts on a single page would be such a nice, clean, round number to work with!

-Steve

I mean, I kind of feel like the current leadership here at US is actually doing a better job than those before them, and honestly, they seem pretty patient with the Ace thread—at least up to a certain point where it still makes sense. Especially All, who’s really been the one putting in the most work on the Ace topic lately.
I wouldn't say the way people were clashing over that one specific thread showed anything different from the usual.

And look, this is just my take, even though I actually agree with Herbie that Debtors could probably hang out in Literary or somewhere else entirely (so, yeah, I'm on the other side of how things are currently being handled there).

Even though everyone’s entitled to their own opinion—and hey, people definitely voiced them—it all comes down to this: if the mods want it to stay on US, then it stays on US. It’s ultimately their call to make, and they’ve made it.

Big W for Steve!

C-c-c-c-c-come on!!

I just stumbled upon this audio clip and a little mini-feature that I am absolutely loving--

The title "how teachers deal with parents" isn't exactly perfect, I guess, but hey, it gets the point across.
The concept and the way they pulled it off are just 👍!
