As refunds on delivery/3PO’s are getting out of hand, here is a new one.
Sadly, this is reality for many restaurants. I see probably $600 a month PER restaurant in bogus charge backs/refunds.
If you aren’t disputing 3PO refunds, you need to. Now.

Elon Musk: The media need to be held accountable for becoming nothing more than tabloids that write smear pieces about those they don't like, and call it journalism.
Media:
Imagine going to live far away in the desert, just to be left alone, only to still be pathologically obsessed over by people who can't even find you on a map if they were given 1000 guesses.
Orania must be banned, we cannot have a white only town in South Africa, not acceptable. If white people want to live on their own, they must go to Europe, not in Africa.
The South African experience. Having a gate inside your house separating the bedrooms from the rest of the house to protect your family.

If a town of 3000 people, which you probably can't even find on a map, is giving you sleepless nights, you don't have any real problems or struggles.
I can't imagine a more comfortable, luxurious, privileged life than one where one of your biggest worries is the fact that Orania…

Seeing as the South African government's racially discriminatory policies are being discussed internationally in regards to their recently tabled race quotas for water use.
Here is a detailed thread on how race-mad the SA government really is:
Farmers' party has stunned Dutch politics, and is set to be the biggest party in the upper house of parliament after provincial elections (15 seats).
The Farmer-citizen movement (BBB) was only set up in 2019 in the wake of widespread farmers' protests.
Orania Floods Update
Parts of the Afrikaner town of Orania flooded in recent days after the banks of the Orange River overflowed due to heavy rains in the Northern Cape.
The community wasted no time to come together to mitigate further damage and start repairs 👏🏻

Sam Harris has, in a very short period of time, singlehandedly made more people critically interrogate where atheism leads a person than most modern Christian apologists.
In Europe, it only takes 1 generation to be considered European.
As a white man in Africa, my 9th generation South African status apparently isn't long enough to be considered African.
South Africans who constantly voice their frustrated bewilderment with why most Afrikaners don't just "Go back to Europe" when faced with discrimination, murderous chants, political marginalization and other challenges in South Africa are actually revealing a core deficiency in…

Contrasting the post & replies reveals a defining dynamic in modern South Africa.
The toxic, hateful attacks of those with crippling inferiority complexes (negative), in reaction to a young woman overflowing with self-confidence and a healthy sense of identity (positive).

Farming is a fundamental part of Afrikaners’ cultural identity.
Our footsteps in South Africa date back to 1652 and ever since our love to farm God’s land kept growing.
That is why they call us the Boer (farmer).

As soon as these migrants set foot on the continent of Europe they instantly become Europeans, but a 9th generation white South African like myself still cannot call myself African?

South Africa proves how bad things can get without triggering a revolutionary turning point. It, therefore, also demonstrates how insane and immoral of a strategy accelerationism is.

UPDATE: Julius Malema firearm case
Balistics expert just testified he was able to link the cartridge casing found on the scene to the firearm that was handed in for balistics tests by Malema's bodyguard after the incident.
BREAKING:
During today's United Nations CERD session, where the South African government was reviewed in regards to discrimination, a committee member asked about farm murders, hate speech contributing towards farm attacks, farm murder denialism by Julius Malema, and what is…
Ukraine, a country being invaded, currently has electricity, while South Africa currently has rolling blackouts.
That's the reality of ANC rule.

Seeing Dricus du Plessis' promo video before the Strickland fight intro with an epic panning shot of the Voortrekker Monument was a phenomenal sight 💪🏼👏🏻
My great-grandfather and great-grandmother worked their hands to the bone, never "stole" anything from anybody.
And I will *never* apologize for the "crimes" and "oppression" they never committed.
My ancestors were great men and women.
If 50 - 75 journalists were murdered per year in South Africa and politicians were chanting "Kill the media", the same journalists excusing Malema and calling farm murders "normal crime" would be declaring it a crisis of the highest order.

Half of South Africa's population - about 30 million - are 100% dependent on state welfare.
The ruling ANC party celebrates this as a great achievement.
It's been a while since I've seen a politician RATTLED like this. The truth clearly cuts deep.

There was a tense exchange as Police Minister, Bheki Cele, met Gugulethu residents today. Action Society accused him of neglecting the Western Cape. The group wants policing devolved to the province.
#DStv403
After decades of playing on diplomatic Easy-mode and burning massive international goodwill reserves all the way, the ANC regime of South Africa finally collided with the real world in 2023.
It all didn't even end with a bang, just a whimper of "racism".
