I don’t think you understand how determined the buyers are once they’ve been convinced by the scammer. I used to work for a major retailer that had signs at the register AND messages that the customer had to accept on the signature pad confirming they didn’t believe they were being scammed before going through with the purchase.

Additionally, my team was instructed to call me over any time they had a customer who they felt was being scammed to try to talk to them. Sometimes, I was successful, but other times I wasn’t. There is still one guy who goes in weekly to buy $500 of various gift cards for his overseas “girlfriend” on WhatsApp. I tried talking to him multiple times and he became increasingly angry at the conversation. I just had to accept I couldn’t help him.

I thought you need $401k to retire.

At first I was like “this shit makes no sense and isn’t funny”

Then I got it and was proud of myself like I had actually accomplished something.

Take your fucking upvote and get out of here.

Thanks for looking it up. It was a few years ago, so maybe I messed up the details along the way or the local branch manager was just being a dick to prevent a lost membership.

About time. Retro Fitness gym wanted a notarized letter from someone I know explaining why they no longer wanted the membership. Absolute insanity.

Is there something I’m missing? It wasn’t clear to me that he doesn’t have a mask or can’t get one.

It will never be $30,000 or less. He did the same thing with the Model 3.

You really just can’t believe anything this guy says regarding his products.

Safari. Use DDG in browser, but primarily use Perplexity for searches via its app.

I’ve never heard the term “genericized trademarks”

I’ve always heard and read it as proprietary eponyms.

Thanks for sharing. Glad you’re happy.

Honest question:

How do you make money for things like food, automobile costs, and your connected device (assuming phone)? I’m not trying to make a broader point. I am genuinely curious.

I love how fast this is happening.

It’s amazing how bad that is.

General buying advice: 70” is a size used by manufacturers on budget units that use panels from prior years.

Go with 65” or 75”. Now, to find a balance of size and performance, 65” might be the better option.

Seems to be a decent answer considering the source.

I mean I’m sure your situation sucks, but I can’t believe this could be even mildly infuriating. Should they have a space screen saver? Should they have images that remind people how fucked they might be? It’s cheesy shit, sure, but sheesh.

I’ve seen XSearch recommended a few times but I’ve never used it myself:

Bro…what?

I started thinning rapidly in my early 20s which prompted me to act. Within a few months the thinning stopped and in the back I’ve been about the same since. Front started thinning a few years ago which prompted the finasteride and that seems to be slowing it.

I don’t know for sure, you’re right, but I also see no incentive to prove my experience wrong since the risk isn’t worth it, to me.

I started using Rogaine (generic versions) when I was around 25. I’m 40 now. It slowed my hair loss considerably and I have a pretty good head of hair still. My dad was completely done by 35.

I recently added Finasteride to the mix and I’m comfortable with the results.

Some people will tell you to embrace it and that’s ok too. I just didn’t want to if I didn’t have to.
