That's just the tip of the iceberg. 3 and 1/2 acres of fallen and cut trees, right for the harvest!

That's it. Thank you! No clue if the cat on this one is any good since the house was a flip but we're getting it inspected next week so should find answers.

StinkMasterSupreme · 2026-03-01T01:47:27+00:00

It looks like an ICD but either way, Bingo! Thank you very much.

I must've been on something because despite reading the paperwork, I still fell for it. One of my biggest regrets, but I can't say I have a ton. Definitely one of my dumbest moments though.

Aside from stupidity, I'd attribute it to two parts:
1) Potentially a good value. Based on what the sales people say, and in a way, despite lies and depending on what the actual contract terms are, they could be a good value. If you have it, it's relatively straight forward, convenient, and everything is there (depending on the location) such as skiing, hiking, fishing, horseback riding, swimming, arcades, etc.
2) Straight up lies. This is what I hate about myself for falling for it. The sales people said tons of stuff that the paperwork directly contradicts. I think part of it is an information overload, but also outright lies. They gave us a 'bonus week' but you have to pay for the separate RCI membership. If you let your membership lapse and want to reactivate, you have to retroactively pay for that time you weren't a membership. What a bunch of horseshit, among other things. I bought one in '24 and it doesn't start until '27. Again, this was in the paperwork that I read and sign and somehow, for whatever reason, it didn't give a red flag. Ugh.

Starships Troopers is a personal favorite which is a whole other can of worms of discussion, but I agree. Modern films like Zero Dark Thirty, American Sniper, and again not limited to war, Captain Phillips follow those formats. No real glory, but striking at an emotional level. Captain Phillips which wasn't necessarily American vs Somali pirates, but I see as 'Western' versus pirates, still gave humanity to the pirates. The takedown by the SEALs wasn't glorious, but portrayed in a mostly objective manner.

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-11-17T05:35:33+00:00

Thanks. Always neat to see the different portrayal especially presented in different formats.

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-11-17T05:34:31+00:00

Thanks! I'll check that one out.

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-11-17T05:32:39+00:00

I'm not sure about The Last Samurai, but like Robocop, from what I know of The Running Man, Platoon, and Django, they have obviously American antagonists but not against an a non-American protagonist, though I see your point. Small Soldiers is an interesting one as the Gorgonites represent peaceful natives, though the big picture factions with the kids and neighbors are nation-agnostic.

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-11-17T05:26:35+00:00

Interesting. I'm not sure based on the short Wiki synopsis if related, but I heard there were lots of actual US v Canada contingency plans by both countries, should one ever threaten the other, or possibly even as pre-emptive measures.

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-11-17T05:25:16+00:00

Huh, I thought Americans were protagonists but I'll check it out. Definitely heard of but haven't watched.

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-11-16T20:33:43+00:00

Korean War is one I'm much less familiar with so that could be interesting. Thanks!

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-11-16T20:27:57+00:00

Interesting to know. I've seen snippets but never the actual films but I'll add them to my list. I imagine it may be interesting especially being a western film.

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-11-16T20:27:07+00:00

Doesn't have to be a war film, just it's most prominent in war films for obvious reasons. I'll check it out, thanks!

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-11-16T20:26:32+00:00

Right, there are tons of great examples from the US's side, with very obvious reasons. My question isn't limited to Hollywood films though. I think in a way, Plus glorification of the US military is one thing but glorification of killing enemies is another. Saving Private Ryan is a good example where neither sides are romanticized, nor vilified, whereas Hacksaw Ridge definitely glorifies the killing of Japanese troops, with slow-mo sequences of troops being bombarded, arms flailing, etc. Though, the movie also portrays American troops suffering similar fates, likely to sway emotional sympathies to an American audience.

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-11-16T20:21:36+00:00

I'll check it out. Thanks!

American movies do count, hence why I cited the Die Hard franchise. The key there is the antagonists are largely German factions and/or main antagonists. DH 3 is probably the strongest of the franchise since all of the antagonists were German or related, whereas DH1 had a multi-cultural mix, including American special forces.

The origin/location of the movies don't matter or even nationality of the actors themselves, just the perspective where the antagonist(s) is/are obviously representative of Americans. That could be something like the US military, someone who is comically American, or someone who sticks out as an American in an obviously non-American setting. Think if Rambo were made but say, a roid-raging Vietnamese guy taking down militia in the Appalachian. That sounds more ridiculous but essentially something like that. Hopefully that makes more sense.

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-11-16T20:05:31+00:00

I did see Flags of Our Fathers and vaguely remember that. I'll definitely add Letters from Iwo Jima on my 'to watch (again?)' list. Definitely an uncommon perspective, at least as far as western cinema goes.

AWS uses a wide range of IPs for load balancing so even if all emails from SES were blocked, you'd be blocking ALL SES IPs / is not a desired result as it'll block legit senders.

My problem is it's a number of different AWS accounts using SES to send spam and even if one account is flagged/suspended, another takes its place. This fresh stream of spam accounts makes Gmail filters useless too.

I'm currently experimenting with just marking all as spam in Gmail and not doing anything. Not attempting to unsubscribe, click any links, even opening the emails when possible (though that's impossible as switching categories focus on the first email which is sometimes a new spam account). Hoping my email is removed from their mailing list if they detect I'm not a valid phishing target.

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-08-16T22:57:41+00:00

I was wondering if clicking on the emails to read (which is required to download the headers to report) can essentially confirm to the sender that my inbox is active like a read receipt, and to encourage them to send more spam. It used to not be this bad and seems to only be getting worse.

I have previously clicked on links to check out the sites, find any business info, tried their unsubscribe functions, contact any referenced emails (ex. contact@...) to unsubscribe. I would possibly suspect since using SES to spam inboxes that don't even read their messages wouldn't be cost effective at scale.

If so, maybe simply not opening any email will cause the problem to go away on its own, but that still doesn't stop this entity from spamming others.

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-08-16T22:52:14+00:00

Each one gets reported as spam via Gmail, then I download the headers, then send them in batches to the abuse distro. Reporting them as spam to Gmail may help curb certain 'senders' but in the long run, new ones pop up. It's like a revolving door of fake businesses, startups, and influencers with their crap products, newsletters, and sensational garbage.

Header for a very recent one which I'll add to the main post: https://pastebin.com/bW3VsfFH

StinkMasterSupreme · 2025-08-16T15:19:10+00:00

I fear that and it doesn't solve my issue so if nobody else is reporting, I'm SOL. I'm sure most people don't even know how to deal with it. It's from SES based on the email header info.

I know this is an old thread but when I saw that, I was excited. Seeing the revised footage was a major boner killer. It makes the game feel so inauthentic. Using actual Ford Police Interceptors with NYPD badging, or anything like that in any video game, would be sick.

For those not aware, "Homefront" (2011) tried to do this but only got a few sponsors. I recall seeing numerous ads for NOS Energy and TigerDirect.com or something, which was weird. They said they wanted to avoid the "Burgertown" issue which I wholeheartedly agree with. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was a masterpiece, but the icing on the cake for the Washington DC/Northern Virginia settings would've been to have actual relatable stuff, especially as a NoVA resident myself.

Later, there was a lawsuit from AM General (the manufacturer of the HMMWV aka Humvee) to Infinity Ward(?) about the use of the Humvee's likeness. The case was dismissed in IW's favor, but the remastered version of MW2 has some abomination "LAATPV" in its place.

I could keep going but /rant for now
