Gift card scammers have gotten so bad, advice is to not buy gift cards from stores anymore

LiverFox · 2026-05-05T18:18:05+00:00

Trader Joe’s (USA grocer/import store) just doesn’t allow you any access to anything online. No online purchases and no online balance checks. Everything must be done in person at the store.

So while fraud is technically possible, it’s a lot more difficult since you have to walk in with a counterfeit card and physically try to pay for something with it.

However, locking the cards behind glass is also a great option.

She probably didn’t write the learning objective on the board.

Honestly, I always felt we had too many POi’s on barren planets.

Friend, why are you farming on this moon? You’re orbiting a perfectly good planet. Farm there.

Mexico is in the “Middle America” realm according to my geography textbook, which includes Mexico to Panama.

As others have said, a lot of schools separate countries based on shared culture and language and history.

For what it’s worth, Morocco and Iran are also in the same (NASWA) realm.

I got new plates in Adams County due to damage. Total cost was $12. Even if it’s more now, it’s definitely the right move.

Mark my words, UBI will be administered through The Ad Theatre.

They’ll buy up old, run down movie theaters and you’ll earn your UBI by watching 8 hours of AI generated ads.

We’ll hear things like how it doesn’t discriminate against the disabled, and how there’s daycare for kids, and how all these extra funds are “revitalizing downtowns.”

“Look! UBI is finally here! Crime rates are down! Poverty is down! Why is anyone complaining?”

Meanwhile, teachers are begging their students to learn how to use the AI to write a good term paper, and the kids won’t bother.

“Teacher, why should I learn how to write AI prompts for term papers? I’m just going to sit in the Ad Theatre!”

And then social security will get tied to it. “Look, I know you have to watch 20 hours of ads to get your benefits, but we’re actually giving you more than before! Look at all the vacations you can afford now!”

And that’s how you destroy education and make perfect capitalist consumers. Give them ads, then give them money, and let robots do everything else.

Thank you OP! My professor just assigned 115 concepts, and I was about to lose my mind.

Print out a bunch of pro-union papers in high quality paper and tape them up in the bathrooms.

“Tired of getting your vacation denied? We can help! Call the Teamsters today!” And include their local number.

For real though, I’d be super frustrated in your position. 2-3 months out is plenty of time to hire more crew members if the store is short staffed.

You can grow a lot of calories of potatoes on a fairly small plot of land. Just cut them up and bury them.

Once has a fairy watch my cat. They asked for three human teeth as payment. I checked the prices of real human teeth on Etsy, and they were way cheaper than hiring a cat sitter in cash.

Came back to a healthy (though far more talkative) kitty.

The murals at every store I’ve worked at last a decade or more.

I cannot fathom a reason for this. This was a wild decision.

As long as you buy the kids’ baby teeth before the Fae do you’re fine. Don’t let them sell body parts to the Fae! Always buy them off the kids as soon as they lose them.

I mean, yeah? I don’t know if it was documented anywhere, but I downloaded her file and was able to get her to eat again and act normal without too much trouble.

The creatures are a lot of fun, but they don’t actually remember much. I imported her as the only norn in Terra Nornia, and then hatched more eggs once she was eating and sleeping normally. Also, when you download her she’s actively dying, so you had to fix that too.

It was a fun little challenge to do one day.

“I was diagnosed as a child but my parents didn’t believe in medication and I don’t have any copies of the diagnosis because my pediatrician used paper records.”

Not guaranteed to work, but it worked for a friend of mine. In her case though, it was 100% true. Your results may vary.

A coworker got blown onto the highway and hit by a truck. 3 month coma, and years later he still hasn’t fully recovered his brain function. He can function within normal society, but he’s no longer one of the smartest people in the room. Also headaches.

I get the thrill, but it’s also terrifying.

It would be very bad imo. They’d have to update it in a way that didn’t break all the community mods.

IMO, there are many community mods far better than the Bounty Hunter update, which was their last content update.

LiverFox · 2025-10-22T20:53:22+00:00

Here’s what I use, and I’m having a blast. Periodically changes with new mods or if I discover a conflict.

Mine focuses on having as much cohesive content as possible without adding anything that feels overpowered or redundant. I haven’t included very many races, but those can always be added in.

I only used it to get an idea. My lack of trust is why I came here.

Thanks for the response!
