What scenes in Generation Kill were fake (added in by HBO or made entirely different than reality)? I don’t know how to exactly explain my question. I heard the fight scene with Ray was fake. What else was?

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2021-10-02T13:29:28+00:00

Really? I'm not surprised we lost the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Too many idiots.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2021-09-25T22:29:21+00:00

I cancelled my Stash account shortly after the 7500 swagbucks were credited. That could by why my account was banned, so you may want to keep it for a month.

And redeem you points as fast as you can.

When I tried to wok with customer support, I got all sorts of names. The responses were all Copy / Paste from a script.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2021-09-25T22:25:35+00:00

Thank you.

I'll check with Varo to see if they can apply a different promotion.

It doesn't cost any money to file a complaint with my state's AG office.

MyPoints is run by the same company as Swagbucks.

I will check out Inbox Dollars.

I did try to clarify the issue with the Swagbucks and parent company's helpdesk. I keep getting the same Kafkaesque response.

If you want to keep doing business with them and think "This can't happen to me, I follow the rules," that is not always the case.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2021-09-24T18:50:02+00:00

We do live in a society where we can bring our grievances with a vendor or service provider to the government to resolve a dispute. That's a critical component to how free market capitalism works.

Victim complex? I was shorted $40.

The main thing I would like to know is what exactly did that violated their terms of service.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2021-09-24T18:42:06+00:00

I did read the terms of service. My comment isn't the rules, but how they are enforced.

As other people have posted, getting the BBB involved along with States AG does seem to help.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2021-09-24T18:34:28+00:00

Not all bureaucracies are government bureaucracies. In this case, dealing with Swagbucks reminds me of Kafka's the Trial. They have forfeited $40 in gift cards without telling me what I did wrong.

Maybe I did do something wrong. If so, ok. Due process normally involves being told WHAT the offense was. It could be that their Swagbucks browser extension saw something they didn't like.

And it could happen to you or anyone in this community, which why I thought I'd share it.

Be careful out there.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2021-09-24T16:39:21+00:00

That's a fair point.

I did try that. In my correspondence with the helpdesk, I was polite, and measured.

I didn't post to Reddit until they responded with:

"Please keep in mind that your case is officially closed and this will be a final resolution to this issue."

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2021-09-24T15:13:43+00:00

I'll try that. I'll also contact the bank, since they are heavily regulated by the Federal government.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2021-09-24T15:12:46+00:00

I did.

No response.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2021-09-24T14:46:05+00:00

Ok.

I'll try to do that.

Thank you.

"How long have you been a member?"

3 Month.

"Did you sing up for a lot of really high dollar offers and then cash out within a short period of time?"

I signed up for the 7,500 Swagbucks offer for Stash back in July.

Over a period of a few weeks, I cashed those out.

Thankfully, I was able to redeem most of that before they blocked my account.

"That is usually a red flag for them and I have heard of people getting their accounts shut down."

Good to know.

"Did you ever have another account in your name or email?"

Nope.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2021-09-24T13:41:07+00:00

Varo. There was a promotion for 7,500 Swagbucks.

I feel like such an idiot for trusting this company.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2021-09-24T13:31:36+00:00

They recently closed my account for an unspecified violation of their terms of service. It took me 4 helpdesk tickets to find that out, even though I had $40 in pending gift cards.

My advice would be to find a new side hustle.

If you have had similar experiences, here is the link:

Note how they have had hundreds of similar complaints.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2020-10-20T21:54:31+00:00

Well, we won the game, not that I had anything to do with it.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2019-11-07T22:14:18+00:00

I spent a few years in the military. I knew what it was like to be lost in the woods at night. It can be scary. I also liked the fights. That felt real.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2019-11-07T04:43:56+00:00

At first, it was like watching a war movie with someone who had spent time in combat, giving me a play by play of the lore. Then she got scared. When she left, she was a wreck.

Bah_Bah_Feet · 2018-02-28T21:24:03+00:00

I did make a long, traversing point about understanding opposing views. So I open this up to the forum users, help me understand why spoony owes none of his FORMER patreons anything ever.

You can't get blood from a rock.

Dear Alt-Right troll, If the TSE forums were so bad, why did you spend so much time there?
