I checked everything but nothing. Thanks for bringing it up though, or I wouldn't have even heard about it to know to look just in case....I'm horrible at looking at my accounts unless I need to...it's a horrible practice and I should change my ways but that's too much work lol
I'm glad you guys are all ok on your accounts. I guess I'm just the lucky one, lol.
ugh guys, I found out yesterday that my mom TRULY believes that the forehead temperature thermometers are memory erasing devices.
We're never gonna get these people back, are we?
I never try anything, I just do it. Wanna try me?
Ugh, I'm so sorry. I don't really understand how a whole generation of people (for the most part) bought into all of this and threw away what they knew their entire lives. Obviously younger people believe it, but I think they are more in it just to be violent assholes, but so many people that are boomers just bought it hook line and sinker. Maybe someone here that is a boomer could explain why it was such a popular group think idea for that group.
If my dad were still alive I almost guarantee you that he would have been at the Capitol insurrection.
I have theories! Up until December of 1987 there was a federal law called the fairness doctrine. If I went on the airwaves (TV or Radio) saying President RBW eats babies. RBW was guaranteed equal time to rebut the nasty rumor. That great and glorious defender of freedom R. Reagan got rid of the fairness doctrine opening the door for Rush Lamebrain and all of his colleagues to lie and lie and lie. And no one could rebut them with their audience. You could go on someone else show and try to tell your side of the story, but you couldn't get to the dittoheads. At about the same time, the internet really took off and of course any one could start posting anything they wanted there too. No matter how stupid.
I used to be a free speech absolutest after all no matter how crazy the guy on the street corner passing out flyers is, there's a limit to how many people he can convince, and sane people can undo his damage. Well crazy got a great big megaphone to yell through and the boomers were raised on media that you could pretty much trust. Sure the president could and did occasionally lie to people, but there was a limit to what random crazies could do. So the whole Greatest and Boomer cohorts were primed to drink in crazy like it was their job. And unless we get a new Fairness Doctrine we won't be able to bring them back. The good thing is, they are by definition gullible, and therefore, we may be able to deprogram them, but not going to lie. I think it'll be tough because who among us has that kind of power and who really knows the truth?
Were there wackados on the TV machine? Yes, but no matter what was said about someone or something any FCC licensed station had to present opposing views and you'd see a whackjob pop up there but he didn't get to rule the airwaves. Johnny Carson had a recurring bit about the phenomenon. May I introduce Floyd R Turbo with an opposing view. Imagine Faux News having to put a sane person on the air every time one of their crazies spoke!
Yeah I have no idea. She's also obviously against the vaccine, is mad I'm on the waitlist, and thinks celebrities are eating babies for their skincare.

This whole small charge scam from CoLoadTest.com is getting bigger and bigger. I am wondering why they aren't getting shut down by the credit card processing people so that they cannot make anymore charges?

So I was sitting in my room and got an alert on my phone from my ring camera. I look and there is a cop at my door. Glance outside, see 3 cops cars parked across the street. Apparently, the people directly across from us had a break in and the cop wanted to know if we had any video (we didn't).
These are the same people who had their tweaker kids living with them, who invited their tweaker friends. They finally went away last year, but I am betting they had something to do with it. This wasn't random.
Doorbell cameras are quite the things, eh? Here locally there has been a rash of porch pirating incidents that the police have been considering very low priority. Understandable of course... more serious crimes and all. But. They advised people to hang on to any video they had just in case...
Then some people had a break in. Someone came in through a down stairs window. Took a few things, but most troubling, took the family dog. Removed him from his crate and took him right out the front door and put him in their car which was parked right out front. Went back in the house to get the rest of the loot. Saw the door cam. Stared at it for a good minute or so, the put her hand over the camera as she stepped away. So the police gathered up the other webcam footage, have her and/or her vehicle at several dozen crime scenes. Got her well in felony territory. Went to arrest her found the stolen dog locked in her bathroom. He's fine. The pirate is in jail.
That's great! Our ring is great for me in that when someone is at the front door, I am not tall enough to see who it is. So I can see on my phone. Plus we can use it to talk to the person even if we're not home.
We set it so that it only starts recording when someone walks up to our door. If we had it set for any motion detected, my phone would be alerting me every time a car drove down the street (and it's not a dead end street or anything).
I forgot to mention, when my hubby came in from talking to the cop and I asked him what happened, he goes "oh, they're looking for Milo" (our oldest) and my heart starts pounding and I'm like "WHAT?!?!" and he goes, "just kidding, break in across the street". I was so pissed lol.
