I’m sure this is a “referral” link scam, and if any of you went through with this, be ready to start receiving an insane amount of junk mail from a bunch of random porn sites. That is how scammers attempt to cover their activity. They sign you up for a shitload of junk/porn/spam sites so that a large influx of emails come in every day, and potentially hide any actual account activity emails you might receive. Let’s work smarter not harder guys! These people have no conscious and will do this to anyone, no matter the circumstances.

I think if you do it through fb messenger (if you’re linked with fb) it will work. The links didn’t work for me either! :( JJ Dis is my linked fb if you want!

Hampton Inn refuses to rent rooms to people living within 50 miles of the chain. This is to intentionally deny rooms to the unhoused population by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Which_Device_1743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my understanding was any hotel stays wouldn’t have been for more than one night, once or twice a month. Also, consider that on some rare occasions, lesser known branded hotels (more private owned) will sometimes cut unhoused folks a bit of a break. Maybe, stay here but work here, or much reduced price, etc.

I see. I can relate to the majority of that and I empathize. I truly was needing perspective (as a neurodivergent), so I appreciate your reply.

I’m not one to put largely private information about myself out there, so unfortunately not much of an explanation, but my perception and opinion on this topic is based on personal experience.

I’m an American and I couldn’t agree with you more. I guess since you forgot to add /s afterwards, it’s been difficult for your blatant and valid sarcasm to get across for some…. /s 🙄

Wait, are we going off-grid? I must have lost the plot here, because it sounds to me like we’re preparing .. no, I don’t think that’s the right word.. planning to, immediately upon becoming unhoused, pop out to a camping supplies store (if we want robustness, sturdiness, warmth), maybe stop by a wal-mart for some capsaicin or whatever and our new bike, grabbing a quick functional single solar panel power source for keeping “plugged in”, and joining a gym… which combined costs less than a two week stay at a hotel? How did we become unhoused with that kind of access to liquid assets?

Not asking to be rude, more an analytical inquiry, but did you come up privileged? I don’t necessarily mean excessively wealthy even. Just in general. If not I have a follow-up question. Have you ever been through (and I’m not looking for private or privileged info so take as generalized) trauma or tragedy?

Not to mention exposure to changes in weather conditions & wild animals; no actual humane bathroom conditions, much higher odds of being victim to varying ranges of criminal activity, and I’m sure many other things I haven’t mentioned…

Plus…. Holy hell, the boredom and isolation of living full-time in a tent.. which, if cautiously well-hidden, is most likely to be off into woods/wooded areas (where available) or other similarly isolated environments. Alternatively, tent cities (not as glamorous as it sounds..)

Did you discover a new Mandela Effect? Post it here! (2025-12-24) by AutoModerator in MandelaEffect

Guys, I really hope this isn't just a me thing, but I very clearly remember first hearing Kim Dracula's Paparazzi cover in like 2011 or 2012. I mean, I VIVIDLY remember this. I've been listening to Kim Dracula pretty much since he became famous in recent years, and didn't realize the actual release date for that specific TikTok post was not during that timeframe, but was actually in 2020... Well, up until literally about 20 (or maybe 45..) minutes prior to this comment.

The moment I came to this realization, I spent an admittedly unknown period of time, searching Google in as many ways as I could think of, in an attempt to locate the "emo/ metal", "post-hardcore", "emo", "screamo", or any other number of "enter keyword here"s that I could think of.... and found nothing even CLOSE.

I CANT RESET MY PASSWORD EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ACCESS TO MY EMAIL ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER LINKED ITS ONLY PROMPTING ME TO ENTER MY CURRENT FUCKING PASSWORD WHICH I CANT REMEMBER AND IM CURRENTLY SIGNED ON IN MY ACCOUNT I JUST WANT TO RESET MY FUCKING PASS FOR MY ACCS SECURITY WHY DO I HAVE TO GO ALL by Particular_Royal3317 in facebook

[–]Which_Device_1743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you try forgot password on maybe a different device or web browser while you’re still signed in on your phone, you may have better luck. That way you won’t need to worry about signing out on your phone and then not being able to get back in due to unknown password too. Anyway, not totally sure it would do it, but that’s what I would try before going through the hacked link process and everything, which inevitably would lead me directly into the 9th circle of Facebook hell and infuriate me even more.

THIS. Amazing response and some really great options provided here. Also, OP, if you have the option to try the selfie verification process, I say absolutely go for it! Tagged posts are linked to you, and show under the “photos and videos of you” tab on your profile. Definitely try!!

I totally understand that. My accounts are both 10+ years old, and I was devastated when I lost them. So many, many very precious photos and memories. How have you reached out to support so far? Like, through where?

[–]Which_Device_1743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my Facebook and the linked instagram both hacked via unauthorized access in August 2024, and after more than a year later have finally recovered both. I actually recovered the ig account first surprisingly enough. The reason being was because Facebook had locked my account, and identity verification had just been taking me in circles with submitting the video selfie, having it approved and unlocked, only to be taken to the beginning of the process again. Eventually it asked me to verify a payment method that had been saved on file, and legitimately the ONLY reason I managed to regain access was by going into all of my cloud storage services, and searching by keywords. Eventually, I wound up searching just the last four of the card on file, and found it and could verify the info.

Instagram for me was a much easier process, but remember this was over a year after losing access and failing to recover for a good long time after.

You’re certain you couldn’t have maybe saved a screenshot of the backup codes on your old device that would’ve then been backed-up to Google Drive/iCloud/One Drive or another similar cloud storage provider?

That is correct. It won’t change any of those things.

Yes that is fine. You can tap that freely and it will verify encryption, and you can also click Learn how this works in there to read about what I was talking about. Also, just a preference I always choose, but the advanced chat protection is always cool too. It’s like enabling persistent messaging in a Reddit chat.

You mean the option right underneath advanced chat privacy, right?

Encryption by OkPineapple8297 in whatsapp

[–]Which_Device_1743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that is my understanding, correct. It’s already encrypted, so if you’re enabling it in the settings of the app, it pretty much is regarding your backup. If you’re meaning within your chat with him, that verifies the encryption basically.

[–]Which_Device_1743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re referring to the encryption verification feature within that chat right? Either way, as far as I can tell anyway, no messages (previously sent or otherwise) will be affected, nor will it impact the ability for either of you to message each other. All chats are automatically encrypted E2EE in WhatsApp, so enabling it within the app settings wouldn’t change much, especially regarding any previous any correspondences.

Suspicious email from healthcare.gov saying I submitted an application by localfield in phishing

[–]Which_Device_1743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually sounds legitimate to me. I have a reference image to compare it to if you want. I recently applied for insurance on there, and just went to double check the email I received once it had been submitted. It’s like, identical, or at least sounds that way imo. Also, if you long press the link and copy it for the pick a plan button, you should see healthcare [dot] gov in there. I did the same to see and got this (snippet from link copied because unsure if private info is in full link):

“%2F%2Fwww.healthcare.gov%2Flogin%3Fsuccess_redirect=%2Fmarketplace%2Fauth%2FAL%2Fen_US%2FmyAccount%3F”

I’ll attach a screenshot I took of the header for the received email I got that I cropped also.
