I was active in another platform for a specific older car. It was 5-6 of us who mostly spent time answering questions from people trying to keep their car running. Lots of detailed specific responses. Then the advertisers started to be offered user accounts that allowed them to spam post the whole platform. One in particular would post ads, they look like posts from a user though, every couple days, for a scanner that doesn't work for our cars. So I started calling these posts out as you can comment on them. I told the admin they can tell the marketers to fuck off or I am gone. No one to answer questions, no one is going to show up to ask them. They rather have advertiser pay them $30/mo to spam it than have it function. On lemmy, I mod this community now.

amazon, more like scamazon

I roll with no tracking/cookies/accounts. I check out as a guest. Prices change depending on location and purchase history. The best pricing is when the site has never seen you before. This also works for things like ISP new customer promotions and stuff.

need to read the terms of service of the application software. I am sure there was some sort of accept box to check.

ditch all the sugar drinks and drink plane old water, like out the toilet.

Rice and beans can be made in 1000 different ways. $1/lb uncooked.

Eating out is almost never a healthy option.

Healthy and expensive don't correlate in my outlook. I spend less eating better. Factor in not eating out and my pockets are fat, but not my ass.

cops are the next doopees of the market. All kinds of companies trying to become contractors with their dystopian surveillance products. Shit doesn't work, the companies lie that it does then refuses any kind of oversight. The cops don't care as long as they can brutalize people. Unfounded justification is plenty for these blue line bandits. Not like Geogroup or corecivic give a shit if people are guilty or not so long as they get paid to lock them up. 500k people are locked up in the US simply for being poor as is.

3rd paragraph of the "article"

By the same token, nearly 6 in 10 also say they lack confidence in the mental capability of former President Donald Trump, the 77-year-old Republican front-runner.

This article is verbatim from the AP news site also.

from the ap article, https://apnews.com/article/biden-state-of-union-mental-capacity-trump-reelection-66d8784586d21f30885d8153f949510c

The poll of 1,102 adults was conducted Feb. 22-26, 2024, using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

these polls are shit.

It had never occurred to me their would be an old lemmy. I am so happy. What a wonderful thing. Its perfect!

So I need a dingy and the marine traffic app and to have an "accident" while a certain vessel would be imposed to save me? Then I get to do some yachting and chumming it up with gilbert grape and some <25 year old babes?

“They send you a check for $1,500, and they want you to send $500 back to them,” Adam Barbee with Arbor Sense said. “And then that way, they take $500, and you try to go cash the check, and the check is no good.”

If someone sends me a check for $500 more than they should have, I would just have them send me another and void the incorrect one. Checks that don't match invoices make for sloppy books.

This is wild. Sounds like canada is going to fighting fires all summer.

Hail Satan!
