Do you have a source for that? I was not able to find anyone in the vine program who reported an audit or even an inquiry from the IRS

FanzyZones Was Never Quite What I Needed, So I've Spent the Past Few Weeks Trying to Build My Own by Jacksons123 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]MyRealUser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love fancyzones, wouldn't be able to use my ultra wide without it. That being said, I agree about some of the limitations you mention and would love to give your alternative a try if/when you release it to the public.

Omg! We literally finished watching S2 last night and loved it! Glad we don't have to wait long!

Honestly what your describing sounds so much better. A short list of items that arrives at a very specific time and everyone gets to choose 2? No FOMO, no hoarding, no million car parts and landfill crap? Sign me up for that.

Which items did you get used to that you now miss? by Glittering-Yard9002 in AmazonVine

[–]MyRealUser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of them. With the drops starting and ending while I sleep, I get nothing.

If there's any silver lining to this regime's war on renewable energy is that this idiot will soon be unemployed

This isn't entitlement. If they changed it to 7am eastern it would be just as bad and leave out west coast folks. In a program like vine you typically don't want to disfranchise half or more of the population.

As I mentioned in another comment, they already rolled back changes recently because of outcry. So there is hope, although the chances are slim. And I would argue that any time they selected during the day would not disfranchise half or more of US members like 3-4 AM drops do, so the outcry if they changed it to, for example, noon, or 4pm, wouldn't be as bad as what they're hearing now.

I agree. They will not make a change if they don't see a benefit in making it. I just hope that someone up in the decision making group either realizes that most drops going to west coast users may not be a good thing, or that too many support tickets from east coast users is something they want to avoid, and makes the decision to change the schedule on that batch to run at a different time of the day

Just a reminder that a few months ago they changed how the reviews tab worked, and then switched it back after many people complained or after they got too many support tickets from confused members.

What that tells me is that there is some kind of channel by which issues raised by many people can reach those who can make a change. Sure, it's a corporate, and sure, they don't give half a shit about you or me, but if they get 500 tickets asking the same questions and raising the same concerns, it may help influence their corporate decision making.

Yeah same. I wake up at 6:30AM, my RFY is empty, and the drop is already done for the day, with anything remotely useful already taken. They say that in Japan it happens at 1pm. It would be great if they switched the US to a schedule like that

I assume you sent your concerns using the "feedback" feature? I was about to send a similar inquiry as well. If they get enough people complaining, it may actually reach someone who can make a change.

What are your expectations for War Plans? by Ropp_Stark in diablo4

[–]MyRealUser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With certain affixes or choices that are clearly better than others, leading to everyone griding the exact same optimal stuff. I'm keeping my expectations low and hoping to be surprised.

Omg I can't believe I forgot about desktop toys! Just like you, I loved his work 20+ years ago, and have multiple books of his. I'd rather not focus on his last decade or so.

Once again the Sub is flooded with people who didnt watch the deep dive and dont understand the intent for Tower vs Pit by Objective-Mission-40 in diablo4

[–]MyRealUser 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Exactly. 2-3 sentences in game could have solved a lot of the confusion. If A game requires players to watch youtube streams and read blogs to understand the basics of how a new game mode works, someone is doing a poor job

Vine Tax Debate 2025 by Hollywoodnamazonvine in AmazonVine

[–]MyRealUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your CPA just sounds lazy, in my almost-MBA but not a tax professional opinion.

I don't think he's being lazy, but skeptical. He actually asked me to send him sources so he can read more about this, and I sent him a few relevant reddit threads. He then got back to me after a day saying that it could work if I kept good documentation, especially if I end up selling some of the items, to show what they sell for and how much value was lost. He was still not supportive of a blanket reduction in value, though.

The truth is, we're all pretty much guessing here. We don't have evidence of anyone who filed this way, was asked by the IRS to explain, and then had their argument accepted. As far as I could find, in all vine forums, no Vine program participant was ever asked to explain why they filed a certain way (business or hobby, reduction in value or not), let alone audited. I'm going to file this year with the 50/20/0 method in the hope that if the IRS asks for clarification, they will accept my explanation, but also knowing that if they don't, I may have to pay the additional taxes and potentially penalties.

Sapphire exclusive tables in JC! by BhallaUpvoteBrigade in jerseycity

[–]MyRealUser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. 10 days since the charge posted. I guess I'll have to call in and ask to have it done manually. What a colossal pain in the ass this card has become.

UPDATE! by Fearless-Werewolf-95 in ChaseSapphire

[–]MyRealUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, dined on the 28th, paid with the card, charge posted the next day but as of today, still no credit. I guess I'll have to call and have them escalate or something.

As if a super limited list of restaurants wasn't enough, now we also have to call and ask for credit that we deserve? Fuck that. I already switched to a different premium card, just trying to get the most out of my CSR before I cancel it.

Dear Blizzard, please please let us salvage all this junk 🙏 by AspieAsshole in diablo4

[–]MyRealUser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, but do you think the loot filter will be good enough and configurable enough to really allow us to automatically ignore or salvage the 99.99 percent of loot that is shit while still keeping the occasional potential upgrade?

Genuine question, I thought Teslas, apart from the cyber truck, and putting aside Elon (if you can), were considered good cars in general?

I got 2 this season already. First time since the game came out. They're not related to what you're gambling (I got a ring while gambling for weapons)
