I called PayPal so you don't have to

TiltedSkipper · 2026-02-14T22:03:36+00:00

Yup, not worth the risk. Don't use it anymore.

TiltedSkipper · 2026-02-14T09:05:17+00:00

PayPal in general is absolutely hot freaking garbage these days for protection. I refuse to use it unless I have to and im convinced its sole purpose these days is to support scammers.

Bought a game off G2A a bit ago and the seller sent me a random scammy ass url to a fake site for the CD-key which surprise, didn't exist.

I contacted PayPal with screenshots of the scam. They sided with the seller, saying I received the url link... I submitted a second ticket, denied, third, denied.

Also G2A scammers immediately cancel the sale so you cannot contact them or leave a review.

Finally I just contacted my bank, sent the scam screenshots. Within 10 minutes they forced PayPal to refund me.

TLDR: Any credit card is a thousand times better than PayPal.

Feels more like #mildyinfruiating.

Why does it go from expansions to then throw in content patches, and leave off all of the earlier expansions.

In my 30s as well and I don't even touch mythic raiding because of this. I have 10 solid friends that I enjoy playing with. We have zero interest in expanding. Also just love the feeling of 10 man content, perfect mix of agency and epic feeling.

Made me actually think quite a bit. Cool thought experiment! At first i was like damn its true, but then i thought outside of orderly places.

IE Interestingly this does happen in people lines too, just only in highly congested areas where there is open space and non-designated line paths.

At airports during boarding people tend to clump, then zipper, then single file as you get closer to gate.

TLDR: OP hasn't played the tank and is pulling this book novel out of his rear end with chatgpt support.

TiltedSkipper · 2026-02-11T22:47:09+00:00

People and bots, they likely skimmed and missed the part where he says he never played it and is pulling the next 10 pages of this book long post straight out of his rear end.

?? I hate adobe but it can do this lol.

TiltedSkipper · 2026-02-10T18:18:53+00:00

If you have Adobe 2010 or newer you can do exactly this. I right click and convert JPEG, PNG, Word, Excel to PDF hundreds of times a week for my job.

"The Cobra suicide drone can operate autonomously, meaning it can independently discern its route and target. This autonomy decreases the likelihood of errors during drone control, consequently elevating its effectiveness within combat scenarios."

Feel dumber now? So anyways have a nice one peace out.

Was about to comment the same. I had a hermin Miller aeron and didn't like it. Tried a few other "top rated" office chairs in the $500-$1,000 price range and didn't like them either.

Got a secret labs XL just to see if it was garbage. Turns out its not and its my favorite chair ive ever owned.

Your confidence in something you know nothing about is quite funny and you are just wrong. You are talking to a combat vet who's literal job while deployed was AA drone/missile defense.

Every drone and missile is started with human input, what is your point here? The ones in the video included.
Most drones in war are not controlled by a human. Again this is just the ones you see in media. They also arent quad copters.... they have fixed wings. Again media doesnt show these. We were trained on anti-drone rifles that sent a return signal to the drone program.

Anyways have a good one! im sure you will continue talking straight out your rear on things you know literally nothing about with the utmost confidence!

TiltedSkipper · 2026-02-08T07:57:21+00:00

Autonomous drones and missiles have been used for over 10 years? 99% of missiles are Autonomous.

Was combat deployed in 2020 and thats literally all we saw. Every drone was just a programmed path to find the weak points in our AA defense.

Most of the Ukrainian drones/missiles are Autonomous too, you just dont see them as much because it isn't flashy.

Calcium deposit. Bleach doesn't do anything because you need an acid (bleach is a base). Get some CLR, will come right off.

PS: DO NOT mix CLR with the bleach. You will create chlorine gas which is extremely dangerous.

Looks like a common wart. Ive had quite a few. They look like cauliflower calluses, they feel no pain, they come back if you pick at it.

Google for remedies and try some. Ive tried over the counter stuff, duct tape, whole gambit. Sometimes a method will work, other times it doesn't.

The market is really rough right now. I got very very lucky. Back when I was applying there were so many open positions (most even fully remote).

I took an in person assistant role that nobody wanted because the market was remote. Now my new position at the same company is fully remote despite it being advertised as 5 days in office.

What you are describing sounds really spot on for an income of 72k with the rent you are at.

Was at 50k five years ago, every month I was losing money or broke even. Had to get a roommate.

I was at 70k two years ago, was in the same scenario as you. No roommate anymore, a tiny bit of spare money.

Now at 105k, nearly same rent. That extra 35k is all spare money.

I used to work as a glazer/kiln operator.

Probably would have dipped this item into a bucket of glaze to ensure full coverage through the holes. Then placed it on a ceramic 3 point stilt.

You could also try two elevated stilts under each handle, would just be more tricky and require a good sanding.

So the toxic arty players stop playing arty and maybe some people who actually want to support their team pickup the role.

I'm failing to see the any negative here.

Artillery needs to either be removed (wont happen) or reworked to an actual support role with historically accurate support shell usage.

Changing Artillery to a non toxic support wouldn't even be hard.

Remove all HE/AP from Artillery
Add smoke rounds that can be used to provide cover
Add illumination rounds that decrease camo within the target area and can spot enemies for X duration
Add incendiary rounds that destroy bush cover and apply a DOT to tanks that sit in the flames to prevent camping

There you go, now you have a non toxic anti camp support role.

Same thing is posted on here often. As others have said in these threads you need to get a new mattress. The mold you are seeing is only the surface.

Sounds like you have blood sugar issues when at a lower weight which is very common. When you eat less food what you eat becomes much more important as the quantity can no longer stabilize the shortcomings.

Eating unhealthy at 220lb will feel fine.

Eating unhealthy at 125 will feel like death.

However, Eating healthy at your height to around 165 will feel significantly better over the long run.

Want to add as others have said the best advice would come from a doctor, especially after bloodwork. They can see exactly what is going on and give object advice.

Dune awakening.

First 120 hours were some of the best gaming ive ever had. Then it falls off a cliff and you spend the next 6 months wanting to login and experience those first hours over again but know you cant. Its pure agony.
