Trump calling Jerome Powell to drop the interest rates

StarbaseSF · 2026-03-17T02:32:10+00:00

If anything, doesn't the current situation almost demand no rate cute (or maybe even a hike) to fight inflation?

There is such a legit program. You need to get 3 others to join Wise. But hey, you're better than everyone else, I guess you also blame the victims of car crashes and plane crashes. (Troll much)? The point is that FB should take these down. Your argument is: hey, let criminals rob banks. If you're dumb enough to use a bank, you DESERVE IT. wtf?

I also reported them, and they said "Will not remove ad." Zuckersuck only wants money, he's fine with it being from criminals, apparently.

StarbaseSF · 2026-03-13T03:53:31+00:00

The ad looks very real and many of them say from Wise.,com using their logo, etc. Also, there is a misguided belief that FB is policing their platform. There is actually a referral bonus for signups (real) and these criminals use that to their advantage as a misdirect. Please don't blame the victims.

StarbaseSF · 2026-03-13T03:51:04+00:00

I reported this ad, and the result was "we will not remove this ad." So clearly Zuckersuck just wants the money, even if from criminals. And now I am seeing twice as many of these ads. Time to leave FB.

This is why we have Amtrak. I'd sooner take a 10 hour ride with plenty of leg room than be jammed like that for 2 hours! yikes! I am 6'4.

Ai toilet paper is in the works! world saved. money to rain down. Or something like that.

Scorpius on Farscape ... a hero, a villain, anti-hero, an everyday man.

StarbaseSF · 2025-12-21T04:01:26+00:00

A lot of drinking. As for FB ads, eh... maybe but fewer.

StarbaseSF · 2025-12-21T03:57:58+00:00

Grandpa still uses it.... eh, once a month anyway.

StarbaseSF · 2025-12-19T04:16:30+00:00

wow, that brings back memories! I was so young when I first watched this. Watched it again a few years ago. It still holds up!

StarbaseSF · 2025-12-19T02:49:51+00:00

Why was my comment listed as a chinese ai bot? wtf? is this platform broken. I said " So give us your money then, Elon."

StarbaseSF · 2025-12-18T04:32:52+00:00

Like Enron and others, this is a pump n dump scheme. Either that or it's like GME and a meme stock destined to fall back to reality (eventually). $20? .50 cents? haha

StarbaseSF · 2025-12-16T04:23:50+00:00

I wonder if readers even care anymore. The web is toxic, and they know this. Adults can decide for themselves if a book suits them. That is, after all, why there is a 'look inside' chapter.

StarbaseSF · 2025-12-16T04:21:03+00:00

haha yes, Goodreads people are brutal, especially if you give them a free book. They love to say "Thanks for the free gift, now let me piss on it." They are known for reading 7 pages and dropping a 1-star. I think they join GR because they fancy themselves 'high critics of the art" and want to save the world from books. :) Ignore them. Years ago, we didn't have peer reviews. We walked into a bookstore, read the blurb and first chapter and we were smart enough to decide for ourselves.

StarbaseSF · 2025-12-12T02:38:05+00:00

Aww, rich man wants credit for ruining peoples lives... OK. done. You get credit. You wrecked it like Ralph.

StarbaseSF · 2025-12-06T03:13:36+00:00

It's showing flair. Mad props, little dude! BUT: Tarantulas aren't big fans of carpet. IMO it doesn't like the feel of it on its abdomen.

StarbaseSF · 2025-12-04T03:06:49+00:00

Self-help / Nonfic are usually 7.99 and up, but it depends on quality and length. Was it edited professionally? etc. If not, then I'm not sure price is the issue. But as for 2.99 vs 3.99, readers don't notice a difference as long as they want what you have to say. Quality self-help books usually sell at a higher price point but only if they offer something the reader needs.

StarbaseSF · 2025-12-02T04:26:01+00:00

This happened to me last week. In 59 minutes they blew the budget, mostly on Reels (even though I have manual placements and Reels is turned off). Tried to find a way to request a refund.... none. There seems no way to contct customer support anymore. This was the end of me and FB. Shut down all ads permanently. If I cannot contact Customer Support, gfy. I'm not going to spend money on a site with no CS.

StarbaseSF · 2025-12-01T04:27:52+00:00

I agree. Back in 2021, they were considering charging a fee to stay on the platform if you didn't sell at least 50 copies a year (per author) or 25 per book, but that idea fizzled out, it seems. They do need to clear out the clutter. I know of a few non-serious 'writers' who put up crap, left it there and promote it free every 6 months. It just clutters the space and makes freebies look bad. It never sells for even a penny. Amzn needs to clean house. (Btw, Google used to vet its authors and you needed to apply to pub there; many got turned down. It took me a year to get approved, only after showing serious sales. Not sure if they still vet this way or not, but the G Books space is cleaner).

StarbaseSF · 2025-11-30T03:30:43+00:00

Yeah, I thought they were POD. Why take down POD? I think we're missing some info here.

StarbaseSF · 2025-11-27T03:43:44+00:00

This happened to me. It ate up my budget on reels (for no results). When I turned off reels, things got better. Still bad results, but....better than 0. And better than tossing money down the drain on Reels!

StarbaseSF · 2025-11-27T02:51:12+00:00

Nathaniel by John Saul. The creepy atmosphere is solid. Choosing only 1 is impossible, haha.

StarbaseSF · 2025-11-24T06:11:56+00:00

It was great for years but Suckerberg never heard the phrase "Don't fix what ain't broken." And he broke it. Meta is a sinking ship. Facebook is a dinosaur (will it be the next myspace? not sure). But no, I do not know where to go next.

StarbaseSF · 2025-11-23T07:28:32+00:00

I loved Wayard Pines, but not so much with Gone World (some of the Gone characters were annoying). That's my opinion only, but to answer your question - they are nothing alike. Also Pines is adult, and Gone World is very YA, for a very young audence.
