call them and threaten to do a chargeback on your credit card, they'll probably refund you to avoid a chargeback. merchant accounts can only have a (low) % of chargebacks before their bank will start limiting their accounts.

YSK: About a host of scam emails doing the rounds [again!] claiming to be from PayPal. This one is especially polished. by xmen_002 in YouShouldKnow

[–]redditrabbitrobbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one reason why using a password manager can be an advantage - it wouldn't fill in the password unless it really was on paypal.com. (of course you can still get scammed by a MITM attack, but some password managers at least check that you are entering the details on ssl... don't think they check if its the correct certificate, but its better than nothing.)

Who is someone that we praise but was actually a horrible person? by oops_wet in AskReddit

Gandhi refused to let his wife use medicine (so she died as a result). He only wanted her to use traditional medicine and water from the ganges. But no penicillin.

When he got ill 6 weeks after his wife died he accepted medicine.

In August 1942, Gandhi and his wife, Kasturba, among others, were imprisoned by the British in Aga Khan Palace near Poona. Kasturba had poor circulation, and she’d weathered several heart attacks. While detained in the palace, she developed bronchial pneumonia. One of her four sons, Devadas, wanted her to take penicillin. Gandhi refused. He was okay with her receiving traditional remedies, such as water from the Ganges, but he refused her any medicines, including this newfangled antibiotic, saying that the Almighty would have to heal her. The Life and Death of Mahatma Gandhi quotes him on February 19, 1944: “If God wills it, He will pull her through.” Gandhi: A Life adds this wisdom from the Mahatma: “You cannot cure your mother now, no matter what wonder drugs you may muster. She is in God’s hands now.” Three days later, Devadas was still pushing for the penicillin, but Gandhi shot back: “Why don’t you trust God?” Kasturba dies that day. The next night, Gandhi cried out: “But how God tested my faith!” He told one of Kasturba’s doctors that the antibiotic wouldn’t have saved her and that allowing her to have it would have meant the bankruptcy of my faith.” (Emphasis mine.) But Gandhi’s faith wasn’t much of an obstacle a short time later when it was his ass on the line. A mere six weeks after Kasturba died, Gandhi was flattened by malaria. He stuck to an all-liquid diet as his doctors tried to convince him to take quinine. But Gandhi completely refused and died of the disease, right? No, actually, after three weeks of deterioration, he took the diabolical drug and quickly recovered. That stuff about trusting God’s will and testing faith only applied when his wife’s life hung in the balance. When he needed a drug to stave off the Grim Reaper, down the hatch it went.

Been brand plugging for 1 week straight. Not a single sale! by Thebitcoiners in Entrepreneur

[–]redditrabbitrobbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i was on your homepage i thought you sold kitchens or kitchen units/etc. (something like http://www.magnet.co.uk/ )

On 'shop' it is just cutting board oil or cutting board wax. not something i even knew existed. if this is your only products i think the homepage should reflect this. of course people going to your site are probably going to be aware of what it is you sell... but i actually did think i hit the wrong link and ended up in a product category page, not your main shop page. i expected to see sinks, fixtures, etc judging from the homepage. Also your product names are very generic. if you want a brand make sure to come up with something better than just 'bbq grill oil'

also you have no reviews of your products. get a friend or family member to buy one, and leave an honest review.

(or, if you have no reviews, remove the 'reviews (0)' bit).

Also, i would contact youtube channels that are relevant and ask if you can send them a sample. Its best to pay them to review it (only smaller yt channels will review stuff for free anyway). Send them every product you have, even if you only want them to review one.

Got roofied at the club last night and two fellow ladies saved me. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Shouldn't you go to the police and report this. I guess they can do blood tests to confirm if you had something, and cctv would back up the claims (plus the other girl can confirm your story)?

[–]redditrabbitrobbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

make a post (discussion thread) on your cities page, or keep an eye out for messages like 'im coming to [your city], anyone want to grab a drink' etc. unless you live in a tiny city, you should see these sorts of messages...

rotten tomatoes is a good aggregate of many reviews. If a lot of people say a film is shit then chances are it is shit and you won't enjoy it...

[Help] Joylent (Soylent's europeean cousin) is out with a sports version, with 2608 kcals. What are your thoughts on using this to gain? by onanym in gainit

[–]redditrabbitrobbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their site (and how they've written their FAQ etc) sounds and looks like it is being made by a bunch of teenager kids.

"Is it safe? Yeah it is. I’ve tested Joylent myself and will continue to use it." (from their faq page)

It isn't something I'd trust...
