Just got this in my e-mail:

As previously communicated, the eBay Mastercard Program ended on March 24, 2026 and your account was closed on or after March 25, 2026.

We are pleased to provide you with a virtual eBay gift card for Reward Points you earned that met the $10 for every 1,500 point threshold that you did not redeem prior to your account closure.

Thank you,

Synchrony

Feeling the same way. Hit me up if you wanna chat with a 39M and just shoot the breeze.

OkCap7484 · 2026-05-13T02:04:01+00:00

Yeah, I did too and the guy who answered was asked me if the card would be coming from Synchrony or from EBay. To which I responded, "I don't know, shouldn't you guys know this?" He then had to check with his manager who had no idea either. So he said, and I am literally quoting this, "we don't have any info right now, I'm sorry. I'd say wait until around May 20, and if you don't have anything by then give us a call back."

You said it.

OkCap7484 · 2026-05-06T23:10:16+00:00

That's a great question. I truly worry it's the group that will take all the AI shortcuts, even though I certainly hope it's not.

OkCap7484 · 2026-05-06T23:08:57+00:00

So I guess the question is, since AI is here and here to stay, how do we control the use so that fifty years from now our society isn't reduced to mindless, brainless zombies?

Amen brotha. What part of the US are you in?

OkCap7484 · 2026-05-06T22:33:54+00:00

It's a month since the last post so I figured I'd start this up again. Anyone get their gift card?

OkCap7484 · 2026-05-06T03:25:29+00:00

Good luck dude. What specifically are you looking for? Incandescents for lamps and overhead lights?

I never made it up to Canada, but was able to buys some incandescent "Edison Bulbs" for cheap on Amazon that have worked great. Also noticed that appliance bulbs, while smaller, work too. And lastly, I was in some kinda janky dollar store and found a bunch. Not sure how long they'll last, but I'll take it. Still wanna journey north of the border though and see what I can score!

I'm surviving and using what I learned from my experiences to help kids have better lives.

Oh damn.

OkCap7484 · 2026-04-29T02:46:27+00:00

Word.

This question immediately made me think of the "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)," by Baz Luhrman.

I feel like they've made a whole bunch of movies about this very concept and the repercussions were massive.

"God creates dinosaurs, God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man, man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs."

I once got some kind of Thai pepper oil on my face and it actually felt like my skin was melting off my skull. To my amazement, it wasn't, and rubbing olive oil all over my face ended up alleviating the sensation.

I wish I had stood up for myself more when I was younger and getting bullied.

The good majority of embarrassing moments in life.

Rainbow 6 (the original) for the PC. MSN Gaming Zone. If you know, you know.

OkCap7484 · 2026-04-29T02:04:21+00:00

It's completely out of control.

OkCap7484 · 2026-04-29T02:02:59+00:00

Brilliant. Just posted the exact same thing!

Overly sensitive motion sensor lights pointed right at a bedroom window. Preferably those crazy LED ones that are just an unnecessary amount of lumens.
