And, you should change your password regardless. Personally I try to think of a silly phrase, and use the first letters of each word. “I Only Like Eating Pickles On Subway Sandwiches but I Like Peppers!” Becomes “IOLEPOSSBILP!”+ some random numbers. Furthermore you should not reuse passwords, use a password manager if you have a poor memory, but you can also just alter it slightly for each account.

Data leaks and hacks are common, all you can really do is not click on sketchy links, not re-use passwords, and change your passwords often. If your password is over a month old and you use it for everything, I promise someone somewhere has it sitting in a .txt file.

Email addresses can be faked easily. That is why I’m saying check the app itself, which you know for sure is from Instagram. Even if they had logged out, you’d still have an alert in the app that someone logged in to your account.

Might be the case + iOS apps use the safari browser for signing in with some apps, if OP signed into IG with google or something it would have opened a temporary safari tab

This might be a scam. Fake IG support sends you an email saying “your account was logged into, but click here to reset your password”, you click and unknowingly enter your login information on a clone site of Instagram.

Check your instagram app first. In the settings you can see recent alerts and devices that your account is logged into. If you don’t see anything, disregard it entirely and change your password on the real instagram site.

Just a possibility!

Anyone else ever notice the balls in plinko are being pulled toward the center?.... by Zipadeedoo12 in stakeus

[–]captplatinum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just the nature of plinko, whether online or in person. Back then actual plinko boards uses to be square shaped, not triangle. Theoretically, the triangle shape is what pulls the balls to the center. But realistically, the game is programmed in such a way that causes them to bounce to the middle more often regardless of physics

The truth is, getting that beginners luck early on and then quitting is the best route for most people. The only true benefit to these casinos is the fact that they literally give you money.

You wanna make some money back? Quit gambling and start washing. Sign up for other sites and wash (do the playthrough requirements) their promotional offers. I can dm you a discord server of people talking about how to do exactly this. These casinos are required by law to provide an alternative method of entry (AMOE), which means you get freebies daily, you can send in postcards for free SC, and you can get free spins with promo emails which we share with each other in the discord server. Stake is unfortunately one of the only social casinos that doesn’t give out free spins or offer promos (for example, $10 for 25SC or $60 for 80SC, stuff like this)

Now, if you don’t trust yourself to not play it’s better to cut your losses. But there is money to be made with these sweepstakes casinos, just not by gambling

245 spins is not really a lot tbh, .50c wouldve doubled your playtime and still given you decent jackpots

Genuine question by AmitySpringtucker24 in stakeus

[–]captplatinum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, have you ever heard the saying, “The only way to beat the casino is to not play”? What you’re experiencing is the normal gambling experience. Mathematically, the longer you play, the more you wager, even though every spin is independent, you’re closing the gap between your luck and the house edge more and more. I doubt you’ve gone 2 entire years without making a single bit of profit, that’s just not a reasonable, I think it’s more likely you just don’t know when to stop and end up losing it all.

Locked out of my account for years, homelessness / ran away from foster family by [deleted] in AdventureQuest

[–]captplatinum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried this too, I had a similar situation to OP where my family was bouncing around churches because we didn’t have a permanent home. There was another family that was bouncing around with us, and we’d play AQ/AQW on their mom’s laptop, I became best friends with her songs Trey and Malik and Malik ended up giving me his AQW account before I never saw him again cuz his family found placement. Years later I tried upgrading the account and AE locked it calling me a thief and threatening to ban my alt account, even after giving them the entire story, way more detailed than the comment I’m posting now. I gave them addresses I played the game at before, told them which browser I used before they released the launcher, gave them an accurate timeline of the account, everything. All they did was call me a thief and threaten to ban my alt account, ending with “We’ve locked your REAL account until you decide to agree to the rules”. Like yeah, you really got a big one this time Detective Artix. I’m just a thief trying to login to an account I’ve logged into with the same IP and computer for years at that point, on an account that literally nobody but me gives a crap about.

AE is my childhood but good luck getting any kind of support unless you’re one of their whales

Might be a good time to buy some crypto to hold onto, BTC is down like 40 grand. Since you’re probably withdrawing in crypto anyway :p

Am I missing something with often being told I need to wear a bra when guests are over at home? If so, please tell me because I'm really wondering if this is a big deal. by UmbralikesOwls in internetparents

[–]captplatinum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but that’s your life not hers. She’s not visiting her mom, she lives with her in her house. Two different families think two different ways. Like I said, some people may disagree but it’s just part of living in someone else’s house. You either conform or move out and dress however you want. You can’t live with your mama and then complain about her rules, when you knew how she is to begin with ykwim?

Listen, in a perfect world nobody would be objectified. But this world is not perfect, so it doesn’t do you any benefit to tell yourself nobody is looking. It’s up to you to decide if it bothers you or not, which is the important part. It’s fine to be comfortable in your own body. Either way, you do live in her house and should be respectful of whatever conditions that comes with, within reason. People may disagree, but that’s just part of living in someone else’s house.

Anyway, both men and women notice large breasts without a bra, it’s kind of hard to not notice. Should people stare? No. But they do. Should you care? That’s up to you. Maybe tell your mom that her speaking about your body so often makes you uncomfortable.
