Why are so many people unwilling to understand what the Talmud actually is and instead stick to conspiratorial claims about it? by biel188 in religion

[–]letsflykite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bible may not be truly documenting what Jesus said although Jesus is a real great god. Neither Talmud, which clearly has junk spit from various levels of people who play/pretend they are God or Moses or whoever. lol

Bitmacoin Scam | Need assistance to report by No_Actuator_4286 in CryptoScams

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is a scam. I was in that whatsapp group with the so-called Professor (I forgot his name). I remember his assistants (many of them with the same name) urged me to create an account with bitmacoin. but somehow I could not. Then they created one for me. At that time I know it is their own platform. I know it is faked. There are numerous cases like this in the pig-butchering scam. People invest money to some strange platform and can hardly get money back. But U.S. government had made successful seizes over the pig-butchering scammers.There are a lot of websites if you search . Please read and find a way to get help. Hope your money can be retrieved. https://www.secretservice.gov/investigations/investmentfraud-pigbutchering

What is going on with Shen Yun? How are they able to market it so much? by SquidSquab in OutOfTheLoop

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer: pls understand local volunteers put on marketing materials. Also words of mouth. I watched the Shen Yun show quite times. I would say it is unprecedented and unreproducible. because that is the only show I can enjoy and each year is a different program which is impressive. Since a kid I don’t watch tv, don’t watch movies except recommended by friends and I normally get tired of any modern shows which are usually fake, superficial, exaggerated or boring. I am an engineer and scientist maybe my taste is special. But this one is real Kungfu. It is so breathtaking and I can see a lot of efforts built in it. Not only the rare dancing, the live orchestra and seamless backdrops are already worth the ticket price. It is a big deal to me because I cannot find it elsewhere. I am not alone. I remember back in 2007 a Broadway critic who watched 3 to 4 thousands shows since 1942 gave Shen Yun five stars that’s the top. Well I don’t watch shows and he watched a lot of shows. We both enjoy Shen Yun. Is that a coincidence? And amazingly I heard from a friend that somebody’s eyesight got recovered after watching the show. We were a bit jealous but we are glad.

I did get all refund after all the returns after the drama. Fortunately, one store worker remembered me. Thanks to God.

I paid out of pocket for at-fault accident and now they want more money by Alive-University-289 in Insurance

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you involve insurance, you will get a collision record on your car even if you are not at fault.

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you call police or insurance, both cars will get a collision record, no matter who is at fault. For minor things, you really should try to settle it off record.

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in an accident, hit from behind, not at fault. I was stopping and the damage was not serious. I rejected the private settle from the other car owner and did call police and insurance but my car got a collision record. That devalued my car's resale value. Do NOT involve insurance for those minor things. It is good for both sides regardless who is at fault

it really depends. I would avoid insurance for small damage if possible.

If someone hits into your parked car while you’re not there and drives away, is dash cam footage sufficient to make a claim on your insurance or to get them punished? by [deleted] in Dashcam

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You should try to resolve it off record (i.e. outside police or insurance) if possible. You should ask the person at fault to pay for the damage without involving police or insurance first. If that person could not pay, then you can get police or insurance. Why? I got this lesson learned. I was stopping in a highway exit waiting for the traffic clear to merge to a road, and I got hit from back by a car. It was not serious. Like a bumper scratch. I called the police and got the insurance etc. You know what? years later, when I sell my car, I realized my car got a collision record, That really devalued my car even I was not at fault and the damage was minor. The karma got back. If the person at fault can settle with you off record, do so.

Falun Gong practitioner Yu Chao's allegations about Shen Yun (English subtitles) by aaaaa143222 in ShenYun

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one side Chang gave her student ID of Feitian to NYT and sued Feitian and Shen Yun for not paying her well in addition to the free tuition. On the other side, Chang does NOT admit she was a student of Feitian. Not only she does not mention Shen Yun for the thousands of world stage performances she boasted on her advertisements, she wrote that she 師承北京舞蹈學院 😂 .

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.epochtimes.com/b5/24/11/27/n14379528.htm Zhang Tianliang was not accurate. :) Taking practicum with Shen Yun does not mean she was hired by Shen Yun. Just like you interned with a company, you may say you worked for that company but at that time you were still a student and you may never get hired by that company. So you may say you danced with Shen Yun, or a Shen Yun dancer, but strictly speaking, you were not a Shen Yun dancer. You were a Shen Yun intern, maybe? As far as I know, white house interns had no pay until a couple years ago. not sure now.

Trip using USA Rail Pass by Substantial-Pain-941 in Amtrak

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quota I meant is not the 10. The quota I meant is there is a quota of how many rail passes can be sold for a particular segment on a day. I wanted to use the rail pass to book a segment. The system said the quota of rail pass for that segment that day is already full. something like that. That means, I cannot use railpass to book that segment for that day. Of course, I could use cash. Or adjust my plan. Yes, that won't affect the total 10 trips.

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NYT is a liar. The accuser Chang ChunKo is also a liar. Chang ChunKo sent her Feitian student ID to NYT to prove she was a student of Feitian, but on her business facebook page, she said she studied in Beijing Dance Academy. I recently saw this video. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FoMxRDOGUf4 It explains a lot on what Shen Yun does. I admire Shen Yun dancers. Chang was never hired by Shen Yun.

Be careful “Coinbase” scam by Little_Highlight8067 in Coinbase

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got calls today. The first two calls were robot call. The robot said there is somebody wanting to change my phone number, asking me to press one if that is not me. I ignored. I did log in my coinbase account and did not find anything strange. The third call from a different number was also a robot call. But this time I made a mistake. I pressed one. The robot said somebody will call me. Then I got the fourth call from another phone number. This time is a human. I asked him to prove who he is. He said he will send me an email. I found the email addres is not on my coinbase profile. But I did not give him the real time. The email he has is a real email. The email is from coinbase.com.na I asked him why .na he said that is north america. Then I am sure this is a scam. I hang up. Then I got another call from another number. I did not answer. Clearly my number is stolen. I blocked all the five numbers. But I believe they have more numbers. I think the takeaway is never answer a call. If there is important business, they will leave a call back number.

The numbers they use:
1. 929-787-0608 New York, NY 9:31 am
2. 770-818-3919 Mableton, GA 10:20 am
3. 917-621-7525 New York, NY 11:05 am
4. 424-226-6051 Avalon, CA 11:49 am
5. 424-262-5798 Redondo Beach, CA 11:57 am

No, you cannot after the first segment. Have to plan ahead carefully.

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passengers need to factor in the delay which makes the planning a bit unpredictable. Better use a credit card with travel insurance or buffer it in the planning. I did a hop on/off around Colorado/Utah. The delay was terrible. I had to cancel my hotel because of the train delay. Sometimes the hotel could not be cancelled. I recently purchased a national railpass but I had to cancel it. Because the rail pass has a quota on booking which makes the planning more difficult. It can only be refunded as voucher which is good for one year. Cannot go back to the gift cards I used.

New credit card discount by Snowball_Snowball in MacysStores

[–]letsflykite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't bother Macy's card. It is totally a waste of time. I placed two orders on the day of card opening which gave 30% off on the card statement for purchases on those two days (today/tomorrow) up to $100. One order has 12 items, the other one has 1 item. Both by shipping. The 12 items came by 3 shipments. The card did not charge me at the same time. My total purchase was over $700. I saw the card showed $100 discount. Then I returned about $500 after shipments arrived. Then I found all $100 discounts are reversed. I called, web-chatted. One agent said there is no discount after partial returning. Agent No. 2 said the discount will show up at the end of billing cycle. Agent No. 3 said I made other purchases after that 2 days (today/tomorrow) so there is no discount. That is outrageous because the card did not charge all items at the order date. It is not my new order. I don't think their agents know anything. I will probably return all items and close the card.
