My go to is the med leaf GSCx, wanted to try the Aurora Nightride and was not impressed.

Aurora products appear over produced - too dry and tumbled so all the crystals have been rolled off leaving a dense nug but less turpines

It's rated at 30% THC but the Medleaf GSCx at approx 25-27% is much stronger.

We just want cheaper and fairer grocery prices for everyone!

No we don't want special membership pricing and app driven deals that secretly tracks and then sells our data and spending habits to the highest bidder.

No we don't want Knives, Ooshies or bricks, all those "freebies" created from clever tactics designed to make us spend just that little bit extra to earn your token/stamp but in reality, is just more plastic crap.

Why are there subtle differences in regional pricing? Items at two different locations a few kilometers apart are at different prices! Shouldn't pricing be set at a national level?

Why are member's pricing and weekly specials sometimes marked at a higher price than the RRP?

Would you consider including the cost price or Gross profit added to RRP on your labels?

Using facial recognition to track shoppers buying food for their families, as a "method to detract shoplifting" is bullshit. It's infused with AI to further track shoppers habits and behaviors.

Are you secretly in the Data center business too?

How about you take all of the money invested into marketing/promotions, AI facial recognition systems, sourcing and manufacturing the "freebies" and whatever was invested into the new app design and shove it up the CEO's derriere, so far up there that it tickles his/her nose and pokes their brain like a lobotomy.

On the back of the recent Powershop app update debacle, increased/incorrect bills and customer service issues, I now need to switch.

Done the research for cheaper companies but I'm more interested in customer service (not chat bots/AI) and self service (app/website) stability and usability - tracking usage, payment options and extras/bundles.

Who has the best overall user interface and customer service?

I recently took some cardboard and styrofoam to the recycling center but it was rejected for collecting because of their "condition".

The empty boxes were kept outside, they got wet but were fully dried out, the box appeared warped but still usable.

Styrofoam fell on the ground and had a little dirt which was wiped off but left a mark.

The recycling center explained that the foam is shipped to a foreign country for processing and has strict guidelines (they pretty much only accept A1 condition foam)

Their recommendation was to get rid of it at the council waste center or buy council rubbish bags and put everything in that for disposal.

WTF? If cardboard and foam will be shredded and repurposed or destroyed, why does it matter what the condition of the box/foam is? I always make sure there's no metal or cross contamination from other products but that's a little ridiculous.

Going through a separation/divorce from my abusive ex-wife, it's been over 6 months since we parted ways and the marriage hasn't been formally annulled yet.

I'm wondering what the legal and social implications are of setting up profiles on the various apps and dating while going through a separation?

Should I wait for the dust to settle or as the cool kids like to say; YOLO!

I work for a multinational corporation that interacts with Government, NGO's, Corporate/Business clients and the public and I've noticed something extremely worrying over the last few months.

We receive information requests and respond to the query with internal information or links to other agencies but we're receiving more queries from people who have lost their basic reading skills, the ability to understand information and/or not supplying enough relevant information to assist them, requiring further administrative work 

We're seeing more people following up and complaining that the information is too much, too hard to understand and then asking for an abbreviated version of said info (this is all easily digestible public information and not government/corporate/business jargon) but coming from everyone from Senior managers to the public.

I feel like Tik Toks, insta reels and 128 character tweets are dumbing down the public, people are no longer able to sit, read and absorb information unless it's in a similar fashion. I had a follow-up email today asking to compress a short media statement into a single sentence or literally have our staff translate/summarize the information for them.

Is anyone experiencing this phenomena?
