Impressive mea culpa from a rich white dude. Respect

@spidercrab , if you’ve still got those gift cards, I think you know what you have to do

I assume you can actually get this at a Skyline Chili, but perhaps that is not the case.

If Trump loses I’m gonna buy a little collection of Trump shit on ebay for like 75% off.

If he was bulletproof there wouldn’t have been any blood.

I haven’t looked at the state of finances for several months, but I know that donations have not been keeping up with monthly hosting fees. (It’s like not stepping on a scale when you know you’ve gained weight - you don’t want to see the proof.) I’ll post an update tonight or tomorrow morning, but maybe a photo diary of a Skyline dinner followed by Skyline chili-flavored ice cream is exactly the kind of fund raising stunt I need.

God have mercy.

If Trump ever goes busto and can’t defend his brand, surely you could make some coin selling knock-off Trump merch to Boomers.

wtf! You are smarter than me. This is the first one in a while I utterly failed! Purple was insane!

Sometimes it’ll just go pear-shaped and become way more difficult than it seems it should be. Happens to everybody.

Lots of Wordle streaks ended yesterday, I was even getting TikTok videos about it.

I got lucky that I didn’t get stuck in the _O_ER trap.

I had enough letters early on that the bullshit answer was the only word I could possibly come up with.

I got the purple row first. :smirk:

I pitched a Hard Drive article a couple weeks ago that didn’t get enough traction in the Slack chat to get attention from the editors:

“Connections Player Feeling Awfully Smug About Getting the Purple Row First”

Whenever my wife or I get the purple row first, we send each other a smug gif.

Had a couple tix to tonight’s game listed on Craiglist. Guy says he’s making Payment through Zelle. I give him my email and then I get an email from “officialzellepayguide@gmail.com” saying his payment has been made, it’s just being held in escrow, and I just need to click on a link and send $100 back to him first to release it. LOL! I started drafting an email to tell him to get lost but I wonder if there’s a way I can string him a long for a few more emails and waste some of his time.

Edit: Playing dumb and asking what this is about and how I make the $100 payment. “Oh, Zelle wants me to send an additional $100 which you have to refund back to me in order to verify if we’re doing a legitimate transaction.” Oh great, I love legitimate transactions!
