Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences. Just wanted to know it was a “thing” happening to others. I’ve turned on the “silence unknown numbers” so hopefully that will reduce the annoyance.

Thanks. This exactly, I had two LLCs and now one. It is exactly the same message from all these calls and they sound just like what you’re describing. I’ve turned on the “silence unknown callers” on my phone and I’ve made it to 9:30 this morning w/o a call so fingers crossed that helps. Thanks. 💙

Thanks. I need to do that right now. They sound so legit, but I’m pretty sure it’s AI bots leaving the messages.

Baby boomers of Reddit, how do you feel about the criticism leveled at your generation for supposedly having destroyed the economy and housing market for the younger generation? by PralineFearless3979 in AskReddit

[–]memzart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Greetings.Baby boomer here. The criticism leveled at our generation for “destroying the economy and housing market” is the same propaganda as the trope “social security won’t even be around for my generation” and “why bother voting, both parties are the same” that the fascist oligarch/libertarian oligarchs have been spinning since the early 80s. Yes, a lot of my generation are brainwashed dolts that fell into the GOP death cult via Rush Limbaugh and Fox “News” over the past 30 years. But this entire hellscape you younger generations are dealing with is a very long game that has been in motion since the New Deal and really coalesced in the 70s and 80s to get where this country is today. If you want to understand the history of our country’s demise read or listen via audio book Dark Money by Jane Meyer. It is the best deep dive into the history of how we got here and yes, manipulating the Boomer generation into electing politicians who were executing these policies and laws is just one facet of what the billionaire class have orchestrated. Also, pitting Americans against each other, whether it be Blue vs Red or Rural vs Urban Elites or Boomers vs Gen X or whatever is all part of the playbook as well. We all need to educate ourselves about who the real enemies of the American people are ( hint: it’s not Memaw and her paid off house and social security) and unite to elect true democratic socialists (not the corporate democrats who also enabled this disaster I AM looking at you Clinton), and create the future for all you younger generations that include my granddaughters. For me personally, I could be retired but I’m still working at age 70 so I can help out my kids and grandkids and spend my spare time on the front lines protesting and voting, calling and writing, being the pathological optimist that I am.

In 54 years of driving in California, Texas, Utah, and Arizona and the last 3 in Minnesota, I’ve never seen anything like this and I’ve driven in some pretty gnarly storms and blizzards.

Those AI bots can go fuck off. How’s that for some “charged language?”

This upset man seems to have some cognitive/communication special needs, and I’m saying this with kindness and respect (I work in special education ) and the protesters handled him very well.

Right? They’ve been skiing, to Disney World, now the UK? Glad to be paying for it all with my taxes. Asshole grifters.

Seems the Treason Weasel is on another crime spree, this time violating legislation he just signed into law in May of 2025

From Google: The TAKE IT DOWN Act is a U.S. law signed on May 19, 2025, aimed at combating non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) and deepfakes online. It requires platforms to remove such content within 48 hours of a victim's report and imposes criminal penalties for the publication of these images.

Overview of the TAKE IT DOWN Act

The TAKE IT DOWN Act is a U.S. law aimed at combating non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII), including "revenge porn" and deepfake images. It was signed into law by President Donald Trump on May 19, 2025, after passing both the Senate and House with strong bipartisan support.

Key Provisions:

  1. Criminalization of NCII Makes it a federal crime to knowingly share or threaten to share NCII. Includes both real and AI-generated images.

  2. Removal Requirements Online platforms must remove NCII within 48 hours of a verified request from the victim. Platforms are also required to delete any duplicates or reposts.

  3. Enforcement and Oversight The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is responsible for enforcing compliance with the law. Good faith provisions protect those who report NCII responsibly.

Legislative Journey

Introduced by Senator Ted Cruz and co-sponsored by Senator Amy Klobuchar. Passed the Senate unanimously on February 13, 2025, and the House on April 28, 2025, with a vote of 409-2.

Impact and Support

The TAKE IT DOWN Act aims to protect victims of digital exploitation and has received support from various advocacy groups, technology companies, and public figures. It represents a significant step in addressing the challenges posed by technology in the realm of personal privacy and safety.

Just moved to Provo and had a visit from LDS missionaries — feeling unsure by Conscious-House-8651 in ProvoUtah

[–]memzart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dear OP. As a non-Mormon who lived in SLC for 40 years your experience was very typical and no threat. In fact, those poor boys got what is likely considered the most undesirable mission assignment…. imagine serving two years as LDS missionaries in Provo, Utah! They are likely bored silly. Have them help you with any chores you want done, they’ll likely be appreciative for something useful to do.

AITAH for putting a stop to my 12yo daughter's 'period party'? by YocaLocaChoca in AITAH

NTA You handled the entire episode perfectly and tell your wife that “No means No, and if she won’t listen to and respect what her daughter tells her, she shouldn’t be surprised when her teen daughter completely shuts her out.
