Shows you what you know. Mine's a double wide. And the politically correct word is "vintage"

That makes me even more curious. Thx for the info.

Just a point of curiosity... Are the POPULAR CONTRIBUTORS ranked solely on post count, or does their emoji count (given and received) factor in at all?

I partially agree with that. I had great luck with Lazada. Literally hundreds of orders pre-paid by debit card and not one transaction that ended badly. Very few that even needed to be returned, and those went great. But they need to do a better job of weeding out fake products. They should have (at least) an algorithm that auto deletes 3,000 baht new IPhones and 512GB SD cards selling for 250 baht. And ads for frog feathers, which are as likely as a 250 baht, 512GB SD card. TBH, maybe they do now. But in the past, I've found a lot of products that screamed FAKE because they were on Lazada at ridiculous prices. That's Lazada's fault.

My money would be on the Apple tech that can track the phone by S/N. And if Apple can't (or won't) prevent a reported stolen phone from even being activated, shame on them.

So if you ordered an advertised Apple product and you received a fake, it's your fault?

That sounds exactly like what some AN posters would say. And then they'd expect to be taken seriously.

My fear is that it's real, and not a Babylon Bee parody.

If I got the sense that's where the money is actually going, I may feel differently. But that's not the way it's looking at first blush. $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”

Cruel as it may sound, what's the quality of life for someone on oxygen in a hospital for 3 years? My MIL was begging for death and relief after she'd been bedridden for 10 years. But they wouldn't let her die out of some distorted concept of compassion. Edit: I should say, she was begging for relief after a year. It went on for another 9 years.

If you say so.

Forever... But that's not really the meaning behind to original "Stays in Vegas".

You guys are a hoot. Keep it up. Demonizing us worked so well in the last election cycle.

That explanation is so 2023. They've moved on.

Any excuse to show off that new costume...

As I read, they probably weren't even aware they had paid subscriptions, much less what they cost. The subscriptions were pre-installed on their gub'ment mandated computers when they walked in the door. That's genius. Evil, but genius. Now DOGE needs to find out whether any gub'ment employees got kickbacks for installing them.

I'm a big fan of the 2nd amendment, and I personally own quite a few firearms. But you won't ever see mine, and I cringe when I see some of the zealots parading down the street in camo carrying their AR15s. They do not speak for me. I imagine that's the same way that reasonable gay people feel when they see the ridiculous displays of the flaming LGBTQ+ crowd.

And if Twitter (X) is any indicator, they'll probably get more of the good stuff done with 294 employees than they did with 14,000. It's amazing what can be achieved when you remove the saboteurs. Or did you never take the personal development workshops where they played out that scenario as a game? Saboteur...

Demonizing Trump worked so well in November that I think the Dems and their paid minions should double down leading into the midterms.

There's those weasel words... Next, we'll find out she didn't get a salary because she billed them as an independent contractor and not an employee, and that her foundation didn't get $84 mil, it got $86 mil.

But I think there's a risk in getting on HRC's bad side. Maybe DOGE can look into that list, too. I did some back of an envelope statistics and found the odds to be real low that so many would die mysterious deaths. Like one start in the universe low.

Those kids from DOGE will find the trail of USAID cash to Snopes. Dollars to donut holes. Yesterday, I saw a diagram tracking the convoluted way money's being laundered. Looked like one of those maze puzzle books I used to fly with to occupy a few hours.

Did Trump sniff any hair on camera in front of the whole world?

And Biden wasn't wearing his hardhat backwards, according to Snopes. That's how trustworthy they are. Dollars to donut holes they're they were getting USAID money, too.

So you don't think the Pizzagate story was concocted to divert attention from the Diddy story, to make it seem so ridiculous that anyone pointing out Diddy's parties would be derided and made to look the fool?
