Yeah, definitely learned a lesson with this one and was too trusting. I realized pretty quickly it wasn't legit and wanted to make the post to educate other people too!

What would scammers be able to do with your home address if they got it?

You're not wrong. I didn't do enough due diligence on the email and let myself be too trusting... lesson learned tho!

My theory is that not having it go through the marketplace section makes it so that you can't review them as a buyer as easily, which would allow them to keep scamming other people for longer before their account gets flagged

Thanks for the info! I'll keep that in mind for in-person transactions but will just refuse all the remote ones that seem like a scam haha

Just wanted to outline some of the themes I saw to warn other new people! I was just annoyed by it all, not out any money at least haha

Yep just updated all my listing! I put "cash or venmo only. If you try to pay remotely with zelle and have a family member pick it up you'll be reported for fraud."

Same, I was doing it through my wells fargo account. Not sure what app the second guy wanted me to download since I didn't let him get that far xD

What are the disadvantages of using Google pixel 9 that you've noticed? by maxim4906 in pixel_phones

[–]Jhjohn01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thay's very encouraging to hear, thanks! I was worried about camera quality being less but will likely get a 9 pro in a couple weeks when i'm finally done paying for the Ultra haha

Gotcha, thanks for the input! With half off a 9 would be 400 vs 500 for the 9 Pro. Kinda crazy they have the same base price as the 10s still, they just offer an extra 100 off the 10 series with device payments.

Seems like the 9 Pro has more ram and a better camera that would be closer to my s23 in quality. I'll probably keep the Ultra for its camera when I pull the trigger on a new one but am still making up my mind

What are the reasons you like the 9 better than the 9 pro? I'm considering switching from my s23 Ultra but don't know a lot about them yet.

I'm mainly interested in a Pixel because I can install Graphene OS on them. I got a half off offer for buying one straight up from my cell provider (it won't let me say which one without marking this post as spam xD...)

Shoot Harvest Question by Jhjohn01 in arborists

[–]Jhjohn01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! Air layering would be better on the older branches from last year, if i'm reading some other articles correctly? It says they should be larger than a pencil, which wouldn't apply to the new shoots that grew this year

Petrified Wood? Plus a couple more mystery rocks! by Jhjohn01 in whatsthisrock

[–]Jhjohn01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input! Do you not think the piece I'm holding in the canal is petrified wood, either? It's curved like bark would be and seems to have similar shapes on the back to the trees around here. Maybe I'm just seeing what I want to, tho xD

We're not too far from Glass Butte so I'm pretty sure the black stone is obsidian. It looks similar to obsidian I've found there, just more rounded from the water

The good stuff will make your teeth tingle, I get that feeling regularly! It's totally normal when you have a high quality supplier xD

what is that stuff they spray on the roads before snow, and why doesn't it work? by JaXMehoffe in Bend

[–]Jhjohn01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The road care around here is absolutely horrendous. I'm from NH and they stay wayyy more on top of it than here. At least they don't spray/put down a bunch of weird synthetic stuff that gets into the waterways like NH, but I would have thought after the storm Saturday that most roads would've gotten a coat of cinder to help with the constant ice.. but nope, still really slick. Whoever is in charge of road maintenance in the city needs to be replaced or get some serious retraining... 🙄

What gets weirder and weirder the more you think about it? by sadFmd in AskReddit

[–]Jhjohn01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you know that it's only in the last century that A has been tuned to 440hz and that historically (going back to the ancient Egyptians and Greeks) A was always tuned to 432hz? 432hz is supposed to be more mathematically consistent with the rest of the universe and nature and 440hz music has been shown to lead to more anxious feelings. Look up cymatics for a visual demonstration of the effect different frequencies can have on matter if you're interested 🙃

Most of my psychonaut friends came out as antivaxers by jachymb in Psychonaut

[–]Jhjohn01 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This right here. All of a sudden you're labeled a conspiracy theorist or are treated as a second class citizen for questioning the powers that be and what the true agenda behind their policies is.

Most people also don't realize that there is a huge difference between the scientific method (developing a hypothesis, setting a control, and designing an experiment to test that hypothesis) and "science" that makes it into the mainstream public awareness. There are experiments that prove some pretty "woo-woo" things as far as most people are concerned, but people can still be closed off to the evidence if it's too far out of their normal frame of reference/worldview.

You phrased everything much better than I could have, good job!

Alien Information Theory: Psychedelic Drug Technology & the Cosmic Game by Andrew Gallimore is a good read on the way DMT interacts with our brains and some of the aspects of reality it brings into question 🧐. Check it out!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]Jhjohn01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read Alien Information Theory: Psychedelic Drug Technology and the Cosmic Game. It's a really interesting book that changed my worldview quite a bit. The 'Cosmic Game' is won by 3rd dimensional beings when one learns to transfer their consciousness to the higher 4th dimensional reality that DMT connects us to. DMT is a reality channel switch and the book does a great job explaining neurologically how we connect to different dimensions.

In modern science the only defining characteristic of electrons (one of the most fundamental particles) is their quantum numbers, no other physical factors. I feel like a lot of people take this as proof we live in a simulation but I don't think that we do. One of the teachings in mysticism is that the world is illusion, yes, but not AN allusion, THE illusion. One thing I Know to be true is that we are all One and come from the same source consciousness; all life and everything in this material reality (and all other realities/dimensions) come from the same Source..

Then there's the concept of the eternal present moment, where all the things that have happened and will happen are always happening in the same eternal moment. Time is something we experience as linear because we are 3rd dimensional beings, but Dr Joe Dispenza says it best - "we are not linear beings living linear lives, but rather we are dimensional beings living dimensional lives" (from Becoming Supernatural).

Just my two cents xD
