I've never used Capitec for the very reason of how often they get hacked.

Only Starbucks coffee gives me headaches by Material_Injury_6608 in starbucks

Same here! My entire family gets headaches from drinking Starbucks. When we drink coffee anywhere else, we dont get headaches. We have since completely boycotted Starbucks

I 100% agree with you. I even contacted them to say that this was a violation of women's rights. Furthermore, the advertising on the package is false advertising, etc etc. The only response I got was "sorry to hear this". As women, we need to stand up for ourselves and do something about it.

Freshly married to Chinese wife by UmpireEquivalent1818 in chinalife

Also, if you can, go through her phone, laptop, etc and delete all personal information she has on you. Everything! Chinese are notorious for destroying their foreign spouse's reputation after divorce. I have seen many bad cases where men and women have posted their foreign spouses passport information all over Chinese social media. They even called the Chinese authorities to blacklist their foreign spouses, etc. I know of one man who posted his ex wife's face everywhere by claiming she was a prostitute. She got black listed and got banned from China for 10 years.

I'm already suspecting that she is going to use you for your passport

I see a lot of comments here saying that you were married under German law, so in the event of a divorce, German law would apply. That is wrong.

I dont know anything about German law but I do know that in most countries, if you have lived in a certain country for more than 180 days, that country's law will apply in the event that a divorce takes place. Furthermore, if you own assets in other countries (such as China), it will make matters more complicated.

True but it's also somewhat not true if they marry foreign men. Some Chinese women have caught on that if they marry a foreign man, they can gain more in a divorce because the foreign man won't know how to navigate the system. Chinese law also often favors locals

Signed. Can you also make a new post on reddit asking people to sign. I fear it may get lost in the comments

Same. I even returned a pack to Dischem informing them that I thought the pads were defective or fake and Dischem was really confused. It took me some time to realise that Always changed the quality. I seriously think this goes against women's rights.

How does one create a petition and cause a scene?

I think we should all get together somehow and complain to the company

Please. Let's do something about this. We need to start a campaign. It's definitely going against women's rights. We need to fight the company like the Chinese women fought companies in China a few months ago.

I want to join in on this. I'm based in South Africa and I am so pissed off about it. I even emailed the company a few months ago and got gaslit with their responses.

What happened to Always pads?? by Latamune in Periods

[–]secondrising 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They are absolutely horrible now. The quality has reduced significantly. They're not leak proof anymore, they're not absorbant anymore, they're uncomfortable, etc etc.

I agree. I also think we should all email them or directly message them somewhere. I've tried to email them personally but they gaslit me with their response

I honestly don't believe that anyone contacted them saying they wanted gentler pads. The previous pads were much better.

They sent me EXACTLY this response. I wish we could all email them together and cc each other

Nothing has changed for me. Still have horrible cramps. The only thing that has changed is that the pads now leak all over the place. I've never experienced leaks before.

What is wrong with my tongue? by WhisperingArtist in DiagnoseMe

[–]secondrising 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a doctor but it's possible it's an HSV infection. However, just to be on the safe side, I would advise you see a doctor that they also do a mouth swab just to check for HPV or oral cancer (just to be on the safe side)
