Smart woman.

If they voted then they aren’t illegally here?

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.

There’s also a good chance many or all of the hostages are dead.

I think this encapsulates NYC to perfection

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.

The word “weird” gets overused a lot but this is weird as fuck. Pretty creepy.

Anyone else hate seeing billionaires, for either side, being so blatantly involved in trying to tip the scales? It’s always been done behind the scenes, but now it’s out in the open and we’re supposed to be happy about it?

I think there are healthy ways to encourage it. Take her out to a nice dinner. Dress nicely yourself.

But also, find her attractive regardless of the clothes.

It’s wild how conservatives have been led to believe that people shouldn’t make a livable wage doing whatever job needs to be done.

Then, when people don’t want to work for shit pay, they cry that “nobody wants to work anymore”.

 
 

Long story short, my son plays Minecraft on the iPad and used some gold coins to purchase an add-on (“TNT!”) from the marketplace. Unlike other addons that work fine, this one gives a “Download Failed” error message every time he tries to install it. I can not, for the life of me, figure out where a support option is for Mojang to help resolve the issue or refund the coins. Does anyone here have any suggestions?

 
 
 

Looking for help in solving a problem where the lower door hinge pin on my entry door keeps creeping up and causing the deadbolt to become slightly misaligned making it more difficult to lock. Reading online, I keep coming across suggestions of tightening a screw that’s supposed to lock the pin in place but my hinges don’t seem to have that screw.

Anyone have any other ideas on how to fix this problem?

Yankees get Jon Berti from Chi Sox, Send Ben Rortvedt to Rays

I guess they’re going all in on Austin Wells. Wasn’t Rortvedt the next big thing a year ago?

I don’t want to post too much and spoil for people who haven’t watched it yet, but I can’t believe the season is already over. The table settling in the final episode is great, but the almost spiteful desire to show this is its own timeline by making some very permanent decisions seems to remove some of the layers of complexity that made the original story line so good.

 
 
 

Looking for some insight into what everyone is using for antivirus. I have AVG a whirl but I experienced some weird stuttering on my M2 MacBook Air, so obviously I want something that is minimally impactful on performance while still being accurate.

I don't want to put any details before more people have seen it, but this is an episode that started to really paint the picture of what we should expect going forward. Ton of action and some unexpected character deaths really created the feeling of actual stakes. I'll put some other opinions in the following spoilers:

::: spoiler The absence of the spartan armor felt like a budgetary play more than anything else. Like they wanted to spend the money on the Covenant CGI and had to cut from somewhere else. :::

::: spoiler Unless they decide to stray from the games completely, I don't believe that Keyes is dead. They do a good job of only assuming his death and not showing it. Vannack's death shocked me. I believe his character is exclusive to the Silver timeline, but still made me gasp :::
