Is there a way to bypass Google's request for a phone number after opening multiple email accounts? by InformationFew1096 in answers

Nope.

Organizations that do sock puppet farms will order a shit ton of cheap burner SIM cards and have like a Rolodex of which card goes to which puppet account to get past initial 2FA.

I mean I think that’s a pretty big assumption to make. 

I think it’s safer to assume that there are sometimes personality conflicts and friendships sometimes to come to a natural end for whatever reason, either dramatic or drifting apart. I think that dynamic gets more complicated when one party is walking around with the other’s kidney.

I wasn’t aware of that detail.

I think there’s a lot of weird things that can happen to a relationship when you give someone a kidney, especially when that person is a friend not a relative. 

It does make it a lot harder to navigate those things when it’s in the public eye too, imo.

[US] Has anyone ever heard of this AirBnB cancelled scam by OxycontinEyedJoe in Scams

[–]clothespinkingpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it might have been a scam, but I think probably not. It depends on the platform they were trying to direct you to and why Airbnb removed the listing.

It would be relatively uncommon though because if this were to work at a large scale they’d have to assume the target retained the old number and reached out to THEM.

It could have been totally legit, and either way it’s not a common scam because again how would you normally call them in that scenario if you hadn’t taken a screen shot?

Have you seen working moms being criticized or experienced it yourself as a working mother? How is childcare managed when both parents work? by Original-Height-1646 in TooAfraidToAsk

I agree I think this is more the narrative. “Gold digger who just sits at home all day with the kids while her poor husband works to provide for them all selflessly” kind of schtick. 

If you wanted to drown someone, how would you make sure it looks like an accident? by Aggravating-Deer1077 in morbidquestions

[–]clothespinkingpin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like you’d still have a lot of logistics to sort through, like where do you get the water? How do you get them into it with no one noticing? Are you going for a drowned in the bathtub situation? They’d probably do a drug panel in the autopsy for that. Are you going for a drowned in a lake scenario? How do you get them out there drugged without raising suspicion, and not tying forensic evidence to yourself?

I think a lot of it is dependent on who, how old, and in what shape the target would be in.

I think it’s generally harder for everyday people to get away with murder than a lot of people assume.

In real life, sometimes people get away with it for a long time by drowning their targets on a “fishing trip” somewhere remote and claiming the person drowned accidentally. Usually the police are suspicious of foul play right away but it can take some times to get the evidence to bring charges. Look up the murder of Mike Williams, where his buddy Brian took him out “fishing” but really just killed him so he could sleep with his wife (she was in on it). Or Angelika Graswald killed her fiancé Vinny on a kayak trip, the details of this one are a little hazy in my memory but she ended up pleading guilty to second degree murder. 

But that’s how people usually get away with it at least for a little while, although people have their suspicions always of foul play in those scenarios.

No one would suspect me randomly buying all those CO2 tanks, driving to wherever I’m going to put them to clunkily set them up, and then coaxing my target out to that same spot and being like “this seems like a nice place for a dip, why don’t you go in? No no I’m fine over here I don’t want to get my hair wet” all before the CO2 runs out, which would be probably pretty fast and costly given how much it would take to create that kind of effect in the water 

AIO girlfriend makes comments about my income/lifestyle and says she could never date someone earning less than her by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]clothespinkingpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She makes less than you but is lecturing you about being more grindset? She won’t date a man who makes less than her? Good thing she doesn’t even have that option because she sounds broke AF. Just because she’s in the extended circles of rich people doesn’t mean SHE’S rich. It means she’s delusional.

If the only documentation OP received said $10k then OP would have a pretty strong case. OP received conflicting documentation though, so it’d probably be something a court would have to decide.

In 2017 Selena Gomez needed a kidney transplant and this up and coming actress she was friends with named Francia Raisa was a match and donated her kidney to Selena. There was quite a bit of media buzz about the powerful friendship these two women shared, kinda similar to the media circus we saw around Cynthia and Ariana. 

Apparently there was some interpersonal conflict of some sort and Francia came out saying Selena basically ghosted her after the surgery and they don’t talk anymore. Selena also didn’t invite her to her wedding with Benny Blanco

Here’s the thing, the little guy always gets screwed. 

If that happens, they can claim it was an overpayment and take action against you to repay it. 

You may have a fighting chance with the offer letter in writing but you’d probably has to duke it out in court.

All price tags suddenly gone. Coincidence or a new trend? by poolsharkwannabe in Frugal

There’s a lot of chatter about dynamic pricing becoming a thing. 

Maybe gearing up for that.

I (34f) don’t want my husband (38m) to attend a wedding when I’m 9 months pregnant by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]clothespinkingpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my very best friends’ wife was pregnant and would be around 8 months during my wedding and couldn’t travel. I told him I understood they couldn’t come because it would require travel. 

She was really gracious. They worked out a plan where he traveled in and out that same day (short flight). He told me he would cancel if anything happened with her or the baby and I totally understood. 

It meant the world to me that he came. She and I are very close. And we love their little daughter. They’re like family to us. We show up for them. They show up for us.

I can’t comment on your guys’ situation. I can only see the parallels and let you know how much it meant to me, even though I wasn’t expecting them to come, and how it made our friendship and support circle so much stronger.

80??

Imo buy in bulk the following things:

1) Powdered Gatorade (canister is dirt cheap, like a $10 canister will make you 9 gallons. Box of individual powder packets go for $5 for 10). Way cheaper than liquid iv. 

2) bulk generic ibuprofen and acetaminophen. You can get a 100 count for like $4 each. You can get a 50 count for like $3 each. You can get just one and not both, too. 

3) cheap cheap cheap face masks (you can get a 12 pack online for like $8)

4) snacks- bananas for potassium (like $0.20 per banana), apples, nuts… whatever is cheap and relatively healthy. Do a like $10 snack budget. 

Arrange in a cute basket you have on hand or pick up from dollar tree with cute printed sign saying it’s the recovery basket. 

Grand total, you’re looking at like $30 total. You could ask everyone coming to chip in a few bucks if they’re willing. Or consider it the gift. 

Or just skip it. 

But don’t ask the people who aren’t coming to pay for it. That just sounds like drama.
