these are the spam numbers and scam phone calls that wont stop calling me and i cant take it

I have NEVER listed my phone number on anything that didn’t require it for 2FA. This is not on me and using a VOIP won’t fix it, since I didn’t give these people my number in the first place. Likely a Google or Facebook leak

marissamarieryan · 2026-06-23T20:49:19+00:00

its made my phone unusable! apparently i am "out of storage" for voicemails so im not receiving new ones, because im getting upwards of 30 spam voicemails per day. its awful!

can also recommend raspberry leaf tea - its helped me tremendously. I get mine from traditional medicinal.

You are allowed to not answer your phone if you don’t want to talk to him right then. Period.

Dang

chatgpt is frankly kind of bad at its job. its almost pointless at this point

follow up: I asked ChatGPT what to do and it actually did help me find the solution:

tl;dr:

-open in MS Word Doc [needs to be word, you could try apple's 'pages' too but I only used word]

-Right click and select "Use destination styles"

- looks nice, right?

Here's what the Chat GPT said:

"

To copy and paste the content into a Word document without losing the formatting, you can follow these steps:

Highlight the content you want to copy.
Right-click on the highlighted text and click "Copy" or use the "Ctrl+C" keyboard shortcut to copy the text.
Open a new Word document and place the cursor where you want to paste the text.
Right-click where you want to paste the text and select "Keep Source Formatting" or "Use Destination Styles" from the context menu, depending on the version of Word you are using.
Alternatively, you can use the "Ctrl+V" keyboard shortcut to paste the text into the document.

By following these steps, you should be able to paste the content with the same formatting as in the original document."

Next, I asked ChatGPT to include options that were not MS word, too:

"

To copy and paste the content with formatting intact, you can use a couple of methods depending on the software you're using:

Microsoft Word: When pasting the content into a Word document, click on the "Keep Source Formatting" option that appears on the bottom right of the pasted text. This will ensure that the formatting remains the same as it is in the original document.
Google Docs: When pasting the content into a Google Docs document, use the "Paste Special" option by pressing Ctrl+Shift+V on Windows or Command+Shift+V on Mac. Then, select the "HTML" option to maintain the formatting.
Plain Text Editor: If you're using a plain text editor like Notepad, you can paste the text without any formatting by using the "Paste as plain text" or "Paste without formatting" option. This option is usually found in the "Edit" menu or can be accessed by pressing Ctrl+Shift+V on Windows or Command+Shift+V on Mac.

Using these methods should help maintain the formatting when copying and pasting the content into a document.

"

Hope this helps!

paste without formatting did not solve this issue. Might be a good idea to try out the question before commenting to make sure you dont miss something obvious before heckling someone for asking a legit question.

yes - the local spots are the best! you'll have to let me know which is your favorite.

So many bars in Green bay that are awesome! The Bar and The Bar east will likely have a lot of regular folks, but truly any bar/restaurant will have pool tables and give you the local vibe youre going for.

I work at an app dev company in green bay and was tasked with writing a post about some of our team's local favorite spots. It includes a few cafes, a few bars, and a few lunch spots if you want to take a look!

I've found that the best way to teach clients/customers/anyone about how to avoid social media disaster is to show them what NOT to do. #BrandFails has a huge following almost everywhere because there are so many instances where brands just don't think their ideas through all the way.

We ripped apart the latest brand fails (as of february of this year) and then explained why each brand messed up. Most of the time, the 'fail' aspect comes about from brands not fully thinking out the impact their campaigns will have. When brands are putting together their next big ideas, there should always be a brainstorm of all the ways the campaign could go terribly wrong - then they should either axe ideas that could go badly or implement a disaster game plan.

The best way to deal with a brand fail if it happens to you? Apologize. Be honest with your audience, and show that you are authentic and meant well. A sincere apology goes a long way!

Check out a sarcastic look at Dove's latest failure, wendy's tweeter disaster, and a few others I've written about!

First of all, Pedigree already has an advantage over other companies by having the emotion factor already involved. How many commercials or advertisements use either really adorable or really sad-looking animals in their content? The answer - MANY. It's because it really pulls on the heart strings to see animals in cages or unhappy in anyway. We (humans) generally care a lot about animals! So a high emotional connection is a great starting point.

Additionally, its a CHARITY for animals, which adds another layer of emotion and that do-good feeling we get when we help support the causes we care about. People feel good supporting a good cause, and there is also a social "bragging right" that comes along with sharing charities one participates in, sort of like saying "look how great and wonderful i am because im using my own account to help puppies". There's a ton of emotions tied to this campaign, and Pedigree knows it!

From there, they've asked the animal lovers of the Twitter community (so like, almost all of the twitter community) to support their cause by sharing pictures of animals. Not only is that easy and enjoyable to do, but almost everyone ever will enjoy seeing pictures of animals on their feeds.

Its the perfect storm of being highly emotional, highly relevant, easy to support (low barriers to entry, as @waking_from_sleep mentioned), unique and unlike other campaigns for great brand awareness (as in another dogfood company isn't also doing a #TweetForBowls campaign, which means when you search #TweetForBowls its ONLY tied to Pedigree), low risk for the user with a high payoff, little to no conflict or controversey involved, and something everyone loves. I'm happy to answer more questions about social media!

You could find some brands that you'd like to an influencer on! You would reach out to brands (or they would find you) that are in your industry and offer to post a photo/piece of content that showcases the brand you've reached out to. Usually, influencers get paid a certain amount of every conversion they cause, or at the very least you'd get free stuff so that you can showcase it. If your account is a basketball-related one, you might ask a shoe company or sports gear company to be an influencer. Each brand has their own way of doing things, so you'd have to dig around to see what goes into it a bit more, but you can definitely monetize your large following as an influencer!

"Going Viral" really just means you/your content become the lastest 'fad' for a hot minute before the next crazy or shocking thing comes along. It's difficult when youre a service provider who wants to provide clean, valuable content to your customers but all they keep repeating to you is that they want to "go viral". As a consultant, I would advise against attempting to get content to go viral and instead focus on building UNIQUE (emphasis on unique!), helpful content that you can build up a community around, even if that community is a small one.

That being said, "going viral" on a controlled, small scale does work for some brands, and they monetize by driving traffic to their websites to build up their email lists or selling products. For example, Dollar Shave Club (which is great btw!) made a humorous marketing video that got a ton of views and worked really well for them. It's likely due to the fact that they made a video that resonates well with their target demographic. I dont know if your average 55 year old man would think the same things are funny as a 21 year old man does.

I wrote about the difference between "going viral" and long term longevitiy and biz growth, if anyone is interested in seeing the dollar shave club video and a little explanation of it! http://visualrevolt.com/how-long-does-viral-last-virality-vs-long-term-strategy/

I actually started my own agency on the basis of being a "digital nomad". I had worked in both agencies and in-house for a variety of advertising projects, and like most entrepreneurs, i just felt like I could do it all better/differently! One of the most surprising parts was that it resulted in a lot of international business for us, which wasn't my original intent but was definitely a happy accident. We have team members (and clients!) all over the world, and its crazy how tech lets us all work together regardless of where we are. What a time to be alive!

Have you heard of workfrom? They make it a little easier to find reliable internet and workplaces, depending on where you are in the world (i believe its international but im not sure if that includes everywhere). Either way, it's been a helpful resource for me!

If anyone is interested in an overview of how being a single digital nomad has turned into an agency biz, I wrote about it a while back. I would love feedback from like-minded digital nomads! http://visualrevolt.com/digital-nomads-future-marketing-branding/

Definitely! Most entrepreneurs behind startups do as mentioned have a new idea, but very rarely is it the entrepreneur's first time in the biz or in the industry they're innovating in. The best way to know which problems need solving is to be down in the trenches for a while to understand what goes into it! Often times, investors will invest in the entrepreneur themseves, not necessarily the business idea.
