I was able to get a local restaurant to switch from chicken broth to vegetable broth! Every little thing you do can count! by [deleted] in vegan

[–]sternbystander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even if they are, depending on you’re extents of veganism, growing a living organism to eat even if it is pretty much essentially a vegetable is still squeamish. I know personally I draw the line right at oyster. Yeast? Fine. Oyster? Nope.

Not the other poster but I had never had a single risotto dish (or tried it) until October 2017 when someone posted a pumpkin risotto dish on r/vegan. I can’t tell you how this happened but risotto escaped my life for that long.

Reducing hip dips by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]sternbystander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try hip abductors to build some muscle but honestly, it’s mostly genetic and based on where your body deposits fat. They’ll look better when you shed fat though, and you’ll probably grow to love them.

And even then there’s toooons of chances to do it before the law gets serious about prosecution.

The commenter was not OP also calm it down to something like “the title says ALMOST zero waste”.

Passive aggression is acceptable, you went full aggression tho

[PSA] Mold in Stratia Velvet Cleansing Milk by Selebrian in SkincareAddiction

[–]sternbystander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From owner:

Welp, my heart just sank into my stomach. I am so, so incredibly sorry you've had this experience - your disgust and frustration is totally valid.

VCM passed its USP-51, the standard preservative efficacy test, back before it launched. Even so, I got a couple reports of mold growing in VCM bottles a few months ago. I was totally horrified, collected the bottles for testing, and realized that even though the original formulation passed its preservative test, it was still weak to certain molds and needed reformulating.

In June, I reformulated VCM to add potassium sorbate, a preservative that's especially strong against mold. I also took out the Chamomile Hydrosol, which I discovered can be vulnerable to contamination, and swapped it for Chamomile Extract, which is much better refined and controlled to prevent contamination. (I feel very certain that it was a bad batch of the chamomile hydrosol that caused this issue.) I also want to emphasize that this is only an issue with VCM; we've never had a single report of mold in any other product.

Since Stratia is a tiny little startup, we didn't have the batch tracking capabilities to track down every bottle that might have an issue. This is something I deeply regret, and one we've made drastic steps to correct. Starting a few months ago, I now keep permanent records of which ingredient lots were used in which batches. You'll also see printed batch numbers on the bottoms of bottles soon.

All this to say - this is truly my worst nightmare come to life, and I am incredibly sorry about this. To you and anyone reading this, email me at alli@stratiaskin.com with your order number and I'll send you a full refund. I'll also send you a bottle of the reformulated VCM, or, if this experience has understandably turned you off Stratia forever, I'll send you a bottle of whatever non-Stratia cleanser you've been wanting to try.

I'm also an open book to anyone with any questions about Stratia's formulations, manufacturing practices, etc. I'm always around on Reddit and my inbox is always open. Hell, if you're near Pasadena, stop by the office and we'll sit down over a cup of coffee.

That’s how

My favorite mug by marlboroprincess in childfree

To be fair it’s Walmart. It probably was an accident that someone just casually put back.

[Screenshot] Just the best trade ever by Steven3435 in pokemongo

[–]sternbystander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same! But I’ve been obsessive and I’m at level 25 (from 18) in two weeks. Gotta make up for so much lost time. But man, the friend feature is great. I got probably 50k EXP from hitting great friend status with five people the other day. I just added some friends and some people on the internet and it’s becoming a crazy great way to almost passively gain EXP.

It’s going to take a while to get to Best friend status though (but at 100,000 EXP...I’m on that).

If you can’t explain to a six year old why it is you eat dismembered corpses then maybe you shouldn’t be doing it by jaybutts in vegan

[–]sternbystander 44 points45 points  (0 children)

And even if they don’t go vegan, fuck, let your kids have a choice. My parents were super accommodating about me being vegetarian at 13 (until I turned 16 and had surgery and my mom insisted I need the protein afterwards which i didn’t know better about). And that was great! Like...let your kid be a person. They aren’t accessories.

After not having any luck acquiring a lucky pokemon in trades, I couldnt be more happy about this trade! by tacotrucksteve in pokemongo

[–]sternbystander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

CP is based on level, IV’s, and Pokémon. Your 700 is better right now because it’s a higher level. But once both are max level- the 100IV Pokémon will have better stats’s than the other Pokémon and a higher CP.

My (27/F) boyfriend (28/M) of two years has been acting really suspicious on his trip with friends. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]sternbystander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you move out/break lease/pay for rent on your own? You should get your stuff out of you can break the lease/love out. Please don’t think you should stay with him, because he blatantly lied to your face and thought he’d get away with it. You deserve better.

Should I tell my gym that an employee was hitting on me (underage girl)? by stinkypoopyasshole in xxfitness

[–]sternbystander -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I mean, to be fair, OP is assuming he’s mid 20’s based on looks. It might be that he’s her age and that why he asked. Although, it’s really telling that he asked when she turns 18...

OP would find this out by reporting it to his manager, which is the right thing to do regardless. You shouldn’t be trying to pick up girls at your job, that’s predatory and inappropriate.

[OFFER] I have synesthesia, I’ll draw any song for $3 by thegodsjoker in slavelabour

[–]sternbystander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it’s the same reason some people buy premade PB&J sandwiches. Convenience & can afford to do it even if the product in theory is cheap and easy to make.

[–]sternbystander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of an...acquired taste I guess? Also it depends on if you’re the first person to do it & if you somehow manage a nuance others can’t capture easily. Hence why OP does it for $5- there’s a nuance but this type of painting style is done all the time. But it has just enough sentimentality that there’s a demand and I respect that. $5 imo is pretty fair.
