bribe (sorry, i mean lobby) politicians to vote in interest of humanity. Environmental protection, public healthcare, solve the housing crisis/homeless epidemic, increase education budget spending, etc.

Very well known scam. Some details that give it away:

(1) They used a url shortener that doesn’t let you see the actual domain. (bit.ly)

(2) Website domain is not legitimate.

USPS’s website is usps.com. If the URL doesn’t end in usps.com (meaning usps.fakewebsite.com is still fake) then it’s not legitimate.

(3) Tone: The USPS doesn’t text you like you’re their friend.

(4) The number they’re texting you from is not an SMS short code number (usually 5 digits). Instead you’re getting a text from a 10 digit number with an area code, which means it’s a person/individual rather than an application or service.

^ original article btw

so much cat content, lemmy is thriving

Business setting - always yes

Casual setting - only if I’m trying to be oddly formal for the sake of making her laugh

Otherwise I usually just introduce myself to her, make small talk, exchange socials if she’s cool. Nothing more than that.

Actually underrated game. Thanks for reminding me to schedule game night lol

Couldn’t sleep in the wee hours of the night, so I went “f*ck it” and downloaded Tetris on my phone. I really only like playing marathon mode, but I found myself enjoying the stages in the game as well.

Certain actions like rotating and hard drop or soft dropping pieces translate surprisingly well into swipe amd drag motions on the app.

damn, i feel really bad for the kid
