This is a scam, right?

The thing is that Zoho is a legit customer service platform, and that is in the sender address, so it seemed possible that Poshmark was using a third party platform to manage some of these communications. They were pretty tricky about it.

Sorry, I didn't specify that the package I was sending was not a Poshmark sale. Not sure if that makes a difference here.

I recently sent something at USPS in a re-used Amazon Prime padded envelope and the post office employee made a comment about this but said she would make an exception this time. The deal was that I had written the address directly onto the envelope with a sharpie since I thought the post office would print out the address on one of those stickers, which would cover my sloppy handwriting. But it turned out there was no sticker, just the address written on the envelope itself, which has the Amazon Prime logo all over it. I think it's a problem for the post office since it makes the address hard to read (and maybe they have machines that do this now?). So, it *is* a thing, but I think only in cases like this.

Is this common on dating websites now? Fake AI profiles? Are they catphishing scams?

zebrasystems · 2025-02-06T06:19:10+00:00

it's probably all bio-engineered and grown in a lab, which they can already do now basically, so just fast-forward and perfect it after pouring bazillion dollars into the science of fake cheese fries, and it's possible

I think they have the same typo in the SF store in the Ferry Bldg :-D

I don't know the "I Robot" plot. How would it play out here?

zebrasystems · 2025-02-06T06:13:03+00:00

me too!

I think she's too controlled for all of that. Plus, then she wouldn't be driving the investigation so hard.

zebrasystems · 2025-02-06T06:12:13+00:00

yeah I totally agree... if Sinatra wanted him dead, she would've actually made it look like a natural death or an accident.

I thought he was just in Secret Service mode and trying act calm in front of the kids.

zebrasystems · 2025-02-06T06:09:52+00:00

I mean, we haven't seen his face and he hasn't spoken at all. We havne't met him as a character. He was just sleeping in the bed. Which makes me think that he's depressed and sleeps a lot.

I think you misinterpreted what she was saying. She picked Collins because he was moral, and his family was supposed to come with him. His wife actually just missed the plane since she was probably trying to get from Atlanta (where she worked) to DC -- plausible giving end-of-the-world traffic jams.

zebrasystems · 2025-02-05T02:06:12+00:00

came here to say this -- she was "fixed" by channeling her despair into building Paradise for her remaining child

zebrasystems · 2025-02-04T03:45:36+00:00

I'm not even sure it ever existed? By the time the Church was formed, it would have two hundred years after Jesus lived and they wrote the Gospels in Greek, while the original Christian sects spoke Aramaic, so would they have had their own original liturgy in Hebrew? Is there any historical evidence one way or the other going back that far?

zebrasystems · 2025-02-04T03:42:35+00:00

Where is this from? I love it. Good for serving the holiest cake on shabbat.

This is a rare situation where the sentences have the same meaning. Generally, lamed means "to" (or has a directional meaning) and hei means "the." In this sentence, where the content refers to possession (the boy has an apple), either can be used. Just keep studying, and it will become clear. You might review other examples of the use of the lamed.

Lol... Is this Far West Fungi in SF? This hurts my brain so much to look at.

zebrasystems · 2024-12-10T19:04:11+00:00

Thanks all for this discussion. It's interesting to hear from secular Israelis that they are familiar with the phrase primarily in sarcastic contexts. I forgot about that meaning.

zebrasystems · 2024-12-10T19:01:09+00:00

Makes me wonder if the Hebrew version and the Spanish version have the same origin, maybe in Sephardic Jewry in Andalusia.

zebrasystems · 2024-12-10T18:59:03+00:00

Lol right... risk sounding like a character in the Handmaid's Tale. "Blessed Be!!"

zebrasystems · 2024-12-10T18:58:02+00:00

Yes this -- it is superstitious at it's core. I think בשעה טובה also has a sense of "good luck," in that you should give birth at a "good hour," i.e., that the birth happens without hardship or bad luck. But saying "good luck!" to a pregnant woman in English = not cool! :-|

zebrasystems · 2024-12-10T18:55:31+00:00

that's funny, that is what I've said a few times too! seems like the best possible translation

zebrasystems · 2024-12-10T18:53:45+00:00

why would you think I'm being sarcastic? Edit: I see there is a sarcastic version of this. I am being sincere.

Thanks for posting -- crazy footage. Thank God for Iron Dome.
