Speaking of, has anyone had a stomach reaction to a covid booster? We got ours a week ago Friday and my stomach has been fucky ever since. Thankfully no vomiting or butt squirts, and when I went to the ER on Sunday the doctor ran blood and urine and said it was probably just gastritis. I think it’s finally starting to get better but this has been really annoying and unpleasant

LeeMajors posted:Charleston is fine for South Carolina. But that Lost Cause toxic sludge is like in the trees and the wind around here. :lolarizona: and all, but I have to say that it's at least slightly improving over time, largely due to the continued influx of people from the likes of California, New York, etc. There's still a ton of MAGA crazies, but it's amusing seeing them rage about the California transplants, who themselves are usually conservative but not always MAGA crazy. I think I've been seeing as many "Stay Out Californians" and such stickers lately as I have anti-Biden/pro-Trump.

I’ve got all junk and unknown callers silenced but like three times a day I get double tapped with a random number missed call. Always different, somewhere in-state. Never a voicemail left. It’s pretty loving annoying. _______ E: I also just bought an auto drip coffee maker for the first time in over a decade (I’ve been a full-bore pour-over nerd  ) so I snagged this Zojirushi programmable on the strength of the rice cooker following and solid reviews. The build quality absolutely rules. Ready to fire it up in the am.

Welp, today was my last day at work  I had given notice two weeks ago that my last day would be tomorrow. At 3:45, I got called to a meeting with my manager, who thanked me for being professional and working through these weeks and whatnot, but that I didn’t need to come in tomorrow but I’d still get paid for it. I said I didn’t mind coming in, but she’d already submitted the poo poo to HR to get my badge deactivated and my email turned off today, so that was that. I basically had an hour to write a quick email saying bye to a bunch of people I wanted to say bye to, in person to a few others I wanted to see, print a letter to another person (  ), and that was that. I ended up hanging around downstairs with some support guys I’m close with, so technically I didn’t leave until 5:30, but that’s how it ended.So yeah, now I get some time off, and I’m watching my brother’s dog for a day or two, so Stella is now occupying my bed.

I really don't get how someone like that falls for the wallet inspector routine. The government works slow as hell. If you just like stop paying taxes, it'll take years before the IRS does anything and if you work with them at all they won't do anything to you beyond fine you a bit, like anyone who's talked to someone with serious financial problems would be familiar with small time financial stuff like that. You have to work really, really hard to spur the feds into action on anything, and if you're doing something that's supposedly going to put you in prison, that the CIA is dealing with? They're sending cops or their cops to pick you up, they aren't loving calling you.

The whole point of the scam is to get you stressed so you don’t think clearly. It does seem crazy that normal rational people seem to fall for these kinds of scams all the time, but also our brains suck sometimes. But yea, no one is calling you out of the blue. Not even Amazon calls people out of the blue and the government most definitely doesn’t. Never trust a stranger on the phone who called you first. It’s actually kind of brave of her to write that because the other way scams work is to get people too embarrassed to talk about it, which makes it easier for them to keep scamming people.

we went camping on wednesday night, it's the 27th anniversary of our first date got rained on, got too wet, couldn't have a camp fire, spent the evening in the back of the SUV which was fine actually. Cleared up this morning, did some hiking, lots of cool mushrooms this one is like two feet across  little very orangy-red guy  the orange snot in between all these turkey tails is called "witch's butter" lol  Also tracked down the same blue heron we saw last time, apparently this is where he usually hangs out  highly recommend off-season camping in bad weather, we had the place to ourselves last night Bird in a Blender posted:The whole point of the scam is to get you stressed so you don’t think clearly.

One of the things I've heard is easy and quick to drum into people is "the federal government always sends mail. Always. If they're calling you, it's not them." I think even in this lady's case, that would have saved her. Leperflesh fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Feb 16, 2024 |

I started falling for a scam a couple years ago. It was one of those things where they send you an unsolicited invoice on PayPal — so you are in fact getting a legitimate email from PayPal — but the details of the invoice make it look like a charge notification, and, oh look, there’s a contact number for PayPal right there in the email. I never gave them anything more than a phone call and ten minutes or so of my life, but looking back on it, I was surprised how easily I slid into it. You get past that initial leap of credibility, and now you’re in a process that you know is going to be annoying and unfamiliar, and you start taking a lot in stride.

Anytime I see one of those emails that looks legit enough to raise my hackles, I just check my credit report and move on. Our credit is frozen with all three bureaus all the time, we both regularly check our reports to make sure accounts are as they should be and nothing new has been opened. And other than that we just don’t ever answer the phone for loving anything ever. Also I think both of our dads hit us with the “government doesn’t do phone calls” thing early. It’s frustrating and kinda dumb, but knowing the government does the slowest form of communication almost exclusively is a huge filter for misinfo.

I don’t pay for any accounts I just have the login to freeze and unfreeze at will whenever we do anything that requires a pull. I usually don’t even pull a report—just checking active accounts and lines of credit is enough to set my mind at ease.

I like those ads saying they'll help find and clear your credit score for $xxx and just use the government's free website somehow nobody knows about. I assume their advice will be pay a bill now and then. In Australia anyway.

The psychology of scarcity is interesting and terrifying. You like legitimately make spiraling poor decisions as scarcity increases because desperation like straight up changes brain chemistry. It’s wild. It’s also why personal responsibility shitheads are so infuriating. They are like three meals away from blowing their next check on vape carts for the faintest glimmer of pleasure too, they’re just too dumb to realize it.
