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!

Haha please keep him going

Scambaiting is one of my favorite youtube genres. Good luck, have fun!

There’s only so much I can do here…just drag it out and play dumb and see how long he commits to the bit. No way to take it anywhere close to the level of the Macbook classic.

Edit: Great, I have received the addition $100 and all I have to do now is send it back and unlock my payment! The instructions make that very clear!

Edit: Hey scammer, I got your email confirmation, but I don’t see the money in my Zelle. How does that work, does it take some time to show up on my end?

“It’ll show up immediately the $100 refund goes through.”

Ohhhh, that’s how Zelle works!
