If you beat it hard you get a special achievement like a red outline or something, then super hard it gets replaced by something better like a gold outline, and like another icon for cursed mode

because beating this game super hard cursed mode is honestly WAY harder than winning with any level 3 pet besides maybe sloth. I feel like it's a bigger achievement that would be cool to have in your history

Strictly in terms of safety and less risk (not about effectiveness), which is better?

my vet told me I should buy for my 11 year old shih tzu flea medication - bravecto or alternatively a dog flea collar like seresto

thing is he almost never has contact with other dogs besides the very occasional walk and the 2 groomings per month and I've seen maybe 3 times any fleas at all on him

so since this is purely for prevention and he's already taking enough medication (context below) I just wanted to do what has less risks. which is?

more context on him:

hes currently undergoing treatment for small amounts of skin bacteria and fungi with moderate itching/licking - using chlorhexidine shampoo + moisturizer showers biweekly; apoquel and supplements for skin

+ teeth issues + possibly liver issues and bronchitis we're investigating

I know J writes all drum parts and Murph just plays them, but still. Whos your favorite drummer?

For reference there's some albums where J plays drums on most tracks like green mind and without a sound. and of course deep wound

A few months ago I ordered an item on Aliexpress for around $80. A while after buying it I received an Aliexpress message (in Chinese) of the seller telling me they were all out of the black variant of the item so they sent me a white one and asked if that was okay (not like it mattered what I thought since they already shipped it)

I said no and they offered a deal to grant me a partial refund once the item arrived here, saying I needed to open a dispute with Aliexpress

I opened said dispute but there was absolutely no partial refund option in the process, only "return and refund". There used to be a partial refund option but Aliexpress got rid of it. So the app showed me a shipping label for me to return the item, something I don't want (I wanted to keep the item and get partial refund as the seller told me, not return it)

So I reached customer service agents. they told me to send all information about the issue. I sent multiple photos and videos of the item I received and screenshots with seller. they told me they would analyse it and get back to me. then for weeks it went something like this:

I talk to customer service agents and have to send ALL screenshots, photos and videos manually EVERY TIME (because they apparently can't just store it in a server) and explain everything

---->

they tell me there was an issue with the process and THIS TIME they'll send my case right to the "senior team" and it'll work and I'll get my money, I just have to wait for an email

---->

I get a CLEARLY AUTOMATED email saying something went wrong or telling me to return the item (when I explicitly said I can't return and it's a partial refund case, thats the whole point)

---->

process repeats

I've done this whole thing 15+ times now. sometimes they say I "haven't reached a deal with seller" when I clearly have, and seller explicitly told me they would give partial refund (chat logs I've gave them in screenshots), sometimes they say there was an error in the system, sometimes they say the case is wrongly registered as refund and return and they'll change it to partial refund, only for me to later get a clearly automated email telling me to return the item, sometimes they say now they've escalated the case again

they'll just keep doing this until I eventually give up

the partial refund "option" on Aliexpress is a scam and they will never give your money back. if a seller wants to they can just give you the wrong item and you'll have to either accept it or have to go through the whole process of returning it to China and buying again
