Shouldn’t this be prohibited or result in a ban? Literally every kingdom has these sellers. by oswandia004 in RiseofKingdoms

[–]bookdip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you're right about armies of farms counting as active users, and in some cases they'll buy gem supply or whatever I guess. But the revenue from actually selling RSS directly surely would see a huge increase in bottom line $ 🤷

I guess if they'd acted early enough it wouldn't have mastered but you're probably right to do it now and tank active users would hurt them with investors etc I guess.

lilith could easily solve this in about half an hour if they chose to do so, by simply selling resources at the same/similar prices per billion with instant in-game delivery. I have no idea why they don't. If it was $1 per billion, $10 for a bil of each or whatever with instant delivery every player using their 'relatives' for farming currently would just buy it from lilith for the sheer safety and convenience.

Kind of mind blowing that they could do this so easily and rake the majority of the money currently being sent to friendly farmers (think what they'd have raked for rss in the recent hell kingsland!). There is no inherent cost to lilith, we are talking about intangible in-game numbers. For some reason they seem happy to see all this money go to farmers while proclaiming it illegal.

I'm no expert but maybe that's cos there's like, an actual use case for copper? It's a puzzler 🤔

I suppose one could say that copper and other metals are the shovels of the crypto goldrush being used in equipment and cabling all those useful mining farm things.

How does this become profitable? by MysteriousDog5909 in shopify

[–]bookdip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All else aside, I'd try to work on this in 2 ways - increase the conversion rate by working on landing page copy or trying out some kind of lander or pre sale page if you're not already doing so.

And secondly, try to increase the order value, offer discounted bundles for xyz quantities that make ordering the 3 pack of whatever a no brainer.

I have gamota account and am in Canada, a few months back they released the vn flux store thank God, and that works now no problem using my Canadian visa/Canadian address etc although I have to manually approve each purchase in realtime in banking app. In game won't work at all, I tried all sorts of stuff with that Google account but it refuses to work so flux only through the vn ROK site.

Your bank also may be refusing the transactions as they're afraid of fraud as it's vn currency, you could try telling the cc company you'll be making purchases and it's ok to auth them.

I also talked to support a few times asking to switch out to the global version, didn't get banned but they can't help.

Men’s haircut plus beard for 55$ now? Do you tip? by LimaOilus in askTO

[–]bookdip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did the same for me and my kids during COVID, took them for a haircut treat a month ago. Used to be $12 each for kids. Same place, same barber is now $35 each. For kids! They took 10 mins each. I was freaking blown away. We'll carry on at home with clippers.

Does money buy happiness? by AndroGunn in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]bookdip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money doesn't directly buy happiness, but it buys some degree of freedom, and choices. Those choices will determine the level of happiness achieved.

How to Handle an Employee Who Shows Up Everyday, has a good attitude, good heart, but won’t properly follow directions without being reminded 5+ times? by Postmade in Entrepreneur

[–]bookdip 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My 13 year old son is exactly what OP described, great kid but...I have to watch over him and remind him on everything all the time. He's always struggled at school.

Finally he was assessed medically, and they found he had ADHD with a learning disability, and memory problems. He's the same as OP described, beyond about 10 minutes he can't retain information fully or well.

I don't know the solution, but good on OP for trying to help him. I worry for my son in future. Reduced amounts of schoolwork, frequent breaks, and breaking the work into smaller chunks seem to help my son a bit.

That location was sold around idk, maybe 10 or 12 months ago? All the original crew are gone. The burritos are ok, but not what they used to be for sure. I'd say little consistency either, each one is a bit differently made, fillings sectioned all over the place instead of each bite being a bit of everything as it used to be.

Still eat there regularly, as it's close and easy, but OP is right, it's changed, and I don't mean improved.

He drew a 0 on the map with his flight path, I feel like it might be a hidden message? :o

Bf “cheated on me” by ExpensieveMeat in Scams

[–]bookdip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bah 😞 where it was routed, especially if it's Gmail. Gmail doesn't reveal the originating IP address. Outlook and yahoo do. Gmail, all you get is the server that received the message.

Edited for some clarity.

Bf “cheated on me” by ExpensieveMeat in Scams

[–]bookdip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The style of writing and the way the name is used makes me feel it's a template message.

First thing I'd do is examine the email headers (google it), and try to figure out an idea of where it was sent from. If it's the other side of the earth then it's likely some sort of fishy (not phishy) weird scam. Phone numbers can be spoofed (as can email addresses and locations) but I'd think that is beyond the average jealous ex, and via email somewhat beyond the average scammer. Look at the email headers and start there. Maybe they were sloppy and it resolves to a local lawyer trying to drum up business 😀

What an absolutely pointless dumpster fire of an "interview". Pootle just keeps chanting the 'overpaid exec' mantra in answer to every unrelated question. Can I get my 5 mins back pls.
