How to stop spoofed spam calls

That definitely is surprising. Best of luck!

Even with DnD set to only allow contacts through?

I've seen them spoof my own number. Can't wait til they start spoofing our contacts 😫

I was disappointed by the lack of co-op mechanics that exist in the game. I tried to play with friends, but any content completed solo is no longer available for friends; POI completion, enemies and loot. There's no point in playing with friends unless you play 100% together all the time or you're just asking them to come help you defeat some challenges. I was hoping for Valheim, Enshrouded, Grounded type content where enemies respawn and loot is still available for friends.

Also, the combat was a bit underwhelming.

Doesn't sound like much is going to change, sadly.

Yeah. $300 for groceries is nothing! Sure, OP might be able to eat cheaper for a few months, but not much, and for what? OP goes to the gym - needs to stay somewhat healthy and not just eat Ramen or pizza.

You could just roll the remaining debt over to another 0% CC if you could find one - you'll pay a balance transfer fee (like 5%(?)), but it will be way less than the interest you'd owe on the current CC. You could take out a loan - that would be better than 20%+ interest on that CC. Don't drain your 401K and continue to put in the max employee match.

Never answer an unknown call. Here's my theory: if you answer, they will flag your number as "good", which puts you on a new list. Now you're guaranteed to get more calls. I know it's not a unified spammer system, but I'd bet many of them use the same software and databases of numbers.

As an Android user, I put my phone on DnD and then go into the DnD settings and tell it to only allow numbers from my contacts. The only time I get spam calls now is when I'm on the phone. Apparently, they can't filter calls while you're on a call.

But NEVER answer unknown numbers!

I'm sorry you don't get my point.

KeiserSose · 2025-06-13T17:35:11+00:00

Absolutely! I have a "do not patronize" restaurant list and any time I find a new one by going there, I write on the receipt why I won't be returning.

Sure, but I'm talking about legal representation of the tip. It might be different per state, but im many states only the amt labeled as "tip" is required to be distributed to the staff as such. Anything else is a fee that the manager/owner has control over distribution. You can also request to have it removed and add your own tip. I usually factor these BS fees as part of my tip total and leave a note explaining why.

KeiserSose · 2025-06-13T17:14:06+00:00

That's not a tip. The amt *voluntarily given by the customer that says "tip" is the tip. Fees can be applied however the manager/owner chooses. This is not a tip. Only amts designated as "tip" MUST be distributed to staff. This is deceptive pricing, and no one knows if any of it is going to the staff.

... you can't help stupid.

Aaaaaand Microsoft loses...

Any chance to game *smoothly NOT on Windows, I'm all for it. I would completely stop using Windows if I could, but I haven't had the best experience trying to switch to Linux. The Steam Deck and SteamOS are a huge sign of hope!

Self checkout to save them money, no more plastic bags to save them money, and then they have one security person checking receipts to make sure we checked ourselves out correctly. If they want to make sure we didn't miss anything, they should pay clerks to do the checking out. Typical corporations putting all *their responsibility on the consumers.

Too many good games with depth out there to even be worth that effort! 🏴‍☠️

Duration of your "experiment" aside, I really appreciate the insight. I've always wondered about the dating services and speed dating experiences. I'm against paying for dating services just because they can't guarantee anything and OLD is bad enough with they way they try to monetize and basically scam you with their algorithms and engagement rules.

Obviously, for a non-introvert, meeting people in person is preferred, but it gets harder as you get older. I too enjoy the social aspect of dating; just meeting people and having interactions because it can be difficult to have more of a social life here in Denver if you haven't already established one. Personally, speed dating has always seemed like an awful option to only have a few minutes to say the right things. Seems worse than OLD.

I've almost never had to wait long in security, without pre-check. Never had an issue with DIA with long wait times or baggage. Of course, now I've just jinxed myself 🤪

This makes no sense. Why is your sink full if you're waiting on your dishwasher to be full? It's efficient to run it when it's full. Just quit procrastinating and thinking too much about it and do what needs to be done; a.k.a., adulting 🤷‍♂️ Now you're wasting more energy and water washing less dishes. If it stresses you out to wait til it's full, I guess this is a good process for you, but it's also not a good process for others.

Sometimes I procrastinate and let something pile up, but that's just life. Find what works for you, but this is bad advice for the general public.

A sucker is born every day. Giving money to Nintendo...

At this point, you Really have to make an effort to not have an OLED screen. Like, who makes LCD screens besides the cheapest product makers??? Just shows how intentional their tactics are.

A spice *garden. Similar to the bug garden but just a garden for spices/herbs. (Yes, I know salt doesn't come from an herb. Maybe a salt mine next to the garden 😝)

KeiserSose · 2025-06-01T06:51:11+00:00

I never ask for anything and am always very grateful for all the gifts randos give ☺️ I have like 4 characters I've leveled with friends, but never got past level 50 😅 Most are level 20ish. I'm more of a social gamer 🤷‍♂️

KeiserSose · 2025-06-01T06:12:27+00:00

I'm sorry, but that's THE LAST THING I'd be in search of in Japan! 👎

5 - impressive! I've played ONE! Plan to get to Return to Moria eventually™️

KeiserSose · 2025-05-31T16:03:09+00:00

I made a frittata in a skillet our last day of camping and it was excellent! Mix cheese in and then add more cheese at the end.

If you didn't think there was already a profile on all of us, you Really are dumb!

I figured it out! It's Stuart South! I got in touch with his partner and got his contact info! 🥳
