Happened to me. I’ve had both. Companies that say they’ll never do ask for that and companies that use a texted code to verify you over the phone or even in a helper chat. (I think Apple might even do it but I haven’t used their help in awhile)

So when I got a call from a number that was spoofing a payment app’s info, i didn’t think much of it when they asked for a code. But as soon as I said it, I knew I fucked up since I didn’t initiate the call. They tried to buy $500 gift cards with it but because I realized it so quickly I was able to get it stopped by the real company and my bank.

I genuinely think I’m pretty good at recognizing scams and have a high “tech IQ” but they got me here.

I always tell people this story so they know it really can happen to anyone, no matter how good you might be. I don’t want anyone to be embarrassed about getting help when it happens to them.

I can’t wait for a court to rule that he did in fact do a Nazi salute.

But then again, the Texas 5th Circuit Court won’t rule that way and we all know it.

This is happening in the KC Metro. For those celebrating illness in a red state, this is US House District for Sharice David’s, a seat that we flipped blue in 2018

This seems like an unnecessarily cruel opinion. It seems shortsighted to wish illness on people trying to do better when the odds are against them.

If you want to turn these states blue, you can’t celebrate kill off all the blue voters. In fact, the US House district this is happening in, flipped a red seat blue in 2018.

This is in the KC metro. It’s happening in bluer counties. Also, I bet it’s happening in Missouri too but I haven’t heard anything.

Probably not what you had in mind but West Side Story. I didn’t care about musicals or romance. My dad made me watch it. He was a tough guy who liked kung fu movies and football. But he wasn’t afraid to be soft either. He liked musicals as much as he liked Bruce Lee. Glad we watched it together though. I appreciate that stuff now.

I'm running out of places to shop. I hate this timeline.

Yeah, I can’t see the instance sidebar in the app I’m using. I found the info on the website. Thanks though!

Also, in studies, products that aren’t imported tend to raise their prices to match the rest of the industry, rather than leaving it as it was.

Even the cost of goods made in America would get more expensive.

Federating ads sounds like a very quick way to get everyone else to defederate with you.

That was my first thought. I deleted my comment to highlight yours. Didn’t know it was a real problem.

 
 

This is a VERY specific episode. Because this is so hard, I’m going to give you extra images below.

 
 

Once, I saw bunnies doing this in my front yard. I love it.

I have a couple of Dalmatians. We do a ton of walking and playing in the backyard.

I feel bad for them this week. I know they are going stir crazy after getting a foot of snow. We don’t mind playing in the snow, but the temperature has been bitterly cold.

How do you exercise your high energy dogs when stuck at home?

The big brain am winning again! I am the greetest! Now, I am leaving Earth for no raisin.

EDIT: After reading your replies, it occurred to me that too much of my everyday speech is made up of lines from the show. Maybe that’s why everyone thinks I’m weird.

The rest of aren’t normal, and that’s what makes us great! … So, Leela, don’t want to be like us? Or do you want to be like Adlai, with no severe mental or social problems whatsoever?

Second EDIT: I didn’t expect so many responses, but I’ve just been reading them all and giggling to myself. Thank you everyone I really needed this. Keep em coming!
