In the US, I think it’s more common to charge after. I worked at an agency whose paperwork stated they would charge before the session, but they never actually did.

Personally, I’m not gonna cancel a session just because the card declines anyway- I can be paid another time; so it’s much less awkward to just charge after imo

As a vegan, this is actually why I quit using cocaine lol

I think you have virtue ethics and deontology backwards?

Edit: autocorrect

If you’re interested in further reading, the terminology for what you’re describing is:

deontology (based on the action itself)
virtue ethics (based on the intent)
consequentialism (based on the outcome)

I would argue that there’s no such thing as “good” people and “bad” people, nor even actions that are inherently good or bad themselves. Someone is, in my opinion, “good” if I feel more positively than negatively about the culmination of their actions, intents, and results.

To be clear though, my opinion on this is unpopular lol

Yeah, it seems most people still on reddit prefer the newer mobile UI. I never used one of the ‘fancy’ modern reddit apps, and I’m lowkey scared for the inevitable switch I’ll have to make when Eternity finally dies. All the other FOSS apps left have a very ‘iOS’ feel to them that I can’t stand

I block every liberal with a shit take I come across (like 200 .world users so far lol) so that could explain why I haven’t seen it much

That is whack; thanks for sharing

That’s been my only exposure to the term, is hearing/seeing anarchists say it. Do liberals really use that term?

I’m aware, I’ve just never heard/seen a liberal use the word “tankie”- though I don’t often expose myself to liberals… Are libs actually using that word now? I would literally laugh out loud at the hypocrisy if I witnessed that

Do MLs consider anarchists liberals now?

You were banned 6 months ago, possibly in response to the comment that got removed shortly before the ban, which I decided to crop out

Have you tried messaging the mods?

I used Signal for virtual sessions during the pandemic (the law allowed it then), and I would absolutely pay them monthly if I could switch back. I even thought about emailing them to ask about a BAA- as far as I know, their model means that it’s only paperwork that has to be done to call it hipaa compliant

I disagree, so my plan is just violence

Liberals facilitate fascism

Oh I was joking about theft lol

Me at the grocery store

Except the second half

I just happened to be browsing all, sorted by ‘new comments’. This sounds fun- can you link it?

Oh, I see

I appreciate your question about Boffa’s work. Engaging with different perspectives is crucial for any meaningful discussion.

To clarify, I’m always open to exploring various theories and research, including those that challenge mainstream views. If you could share more about Boffa’s contributions or specific ideas, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how they relate to our conversation about the shape of the Earth.

Understanding different viewpoints can help us both refine our beliefs and foster a more productive dialogue. What aspects of Boffa’s work do you find most compelling in relation to the flat Earth perspective?

Looking forward to your insights!

Edit: After some digging, I found this, “Understanding the Lived Experience of Late-Entry English Learners,” authored by Joseph W. Boffa II.

I assume you’re suggesting I don’t know English very well. That’s awful rude

I appreciate your willingness to engage in this conversation, but I must say that your comment misses the mark in terms of constructive dialogue.

While humor can sometimes lighten a conversation, it can also derail meaningful discussions. Your comment feels dismissive and undermines the serious nature of the topics we’re discussing.

Every belief system, including the flat Earth perspective, deserves to be treated with respect. Mockery doesn’t foster understanding; it creates division. I’m genuinely interested in hearing your thoughts on why you believe the Earth is round, and I hope you can appreciate that my beliefs are rooted in a desire to seek truth, just as yours are.

Let’s focus on having a respectful discussion where we can share our perspectives. I’m open to exploring the evidence and reasoning behind both viewpoints without resorting to jokes or insults. What do you think?
