re: My Son is Dragging me into the Sports Card World
Posted by Kraut Dawg on 8/9/26 at 9:51 pm to TigerTatorTots
I have heard from others like you that have many negative experiences selling on Ebay too. That the card isn't as described, the buyer sends back the same (but physically different) card in worse shape & there's nothing to do. Or that people buy raw cards and want to return them, but we all know it's because they want to inspect them before sending off to grading. I've even heard of people complaining about the condition of PSA graded cards.

Two blondes going at it. One is natural. The other? She's trying to culturally appropriate herself. That's not right. According to Google, Di'Jon-La' is culturally appropriating a marginalized group of the WNBA.

In the summer of 2012 a Stinger missile hit a Chinook in Afghanistan & the serial numbers traced it back to Qatar. There are supposed to be links to this batch & Libya as well.
This link from the NY Post in 2014 is what you're referring to I believe?

re: Corporate meeting pet peeves…

scheduling a meeting every 30 minute block of every day because you can't function independently enough to do your job without input or validation.
I love a good pre-meeting to discuss the meeting. We don't have much bandwidth & can't afford information being siloed. And it's better if we do this sync offline (but wouldn't this be siloed info?). And we need to create a Teams channel that everyone can see, but only gives access to us. Don't worry, I'll grab that for action.
People don't pay attention to body language. When they start wiping the table with their hand, they're not paying attention. When they have closed their notebook and put their hand on it? They've checked out. It's over, end it.
I have to run a couple of these things & try to have items in order prior to prevent items from going awry. Stay on the schedule. Instead of an hour for a meeting, I try to schedule 45 mins. I'm convinced that people love to be in multiple meetings, then come into the next one with their "sorry, I was busy in another meeting" schtick. Go frick yourself, you're not that important.

I’m fighting Capital One to honor their own T&Cs: if bill pay fails, they cover penalty fees up to $100. I used it for my water bill — money was debited but not paid. My water got shut off and I had to pay extra fees.
They say they “reimbursed” me the original bill, but that doesn’t cover penalties. That fight continues. I'm confident, still pending their reply.
Phone wait times are always too long, and when you finally get someone, they’re in SE Asia.
I work in Dump Hole, Africa. Capital One forced me onto a Discover/Pulse debit card that doesn’t work outside the U.S. I had to get another card mailed from home.
The good things w/ Cap One are monthly fees on checking, and no international fees on their credit card.

The Sandweiler cemetery is about a mile from the American one in Luxembourg. It's where the Germans are buried. Very different vibe, much less frequented.

Wroclaw and Krakow are really fantastic areas.
We went to Zadar recently and I was surprised how much I liked northern Croatia. The southern part will be next.

It's apparent you're really a Trump supporter who is trolling because you have nothing better to do. Some advice, don't make it so obvious next time. Your responses, while ignorantly thought out, are too long. And don't do the cliches about saddles & calling people baw. It makes it more obvious.
I don't think you're as dumb as what you write. Are you?

So again, you're wanting to go off into left field. At no point have you disputed anything with evidence. I used what I knew to make (correct) assumptions. You? Just your emotions.
The IRS doesn't keep race based tax data. Would you accept data from the St Louis Federal Reserve as credible?
Taxes paid by one race
Taxes paid by another race
One says $11,141. The other says $5540. Do you know math? Seems a lot like the Medicaid discussion.
I knew that I was right, and you've ignorantly disputed it.
Any other points you want to dispute that I come back with fact based data? Keep in mind, I'm using government statistics, not some biased media source.

So the claim that one race “pays the bills” isn’t something you proved with citations, math, or facts. It’s an inference. That’s been the point from the start, and it shouldn’t require this much hand-holding to get there.

I never made an argument. I made a statement. And you're doing exactly what I said you'd do & that's try to deflect the point.
If you don't want to infer, then you want it spelled out to you like you're a child. The IRS doesn't offer race based statistics on taxes paid.
But the perpetual victims in society continue with how they're not paid as much or have harder times finding a job. That means low/no income. Don't like it? Take it up with the group of victims who perpetuate that. Unless you're calling the race hustlers liars? Because they're the ones who told me.
But you backed off pretty quick on the Medicaid point, didn't you?
Don't be so angry my friend.

I made an assumption off the top of my head & dared you to prove me wrong. You can't. Then you play dumb because every detail isn't spelled out for you in a childlike manner. I wrote to you like you're an adult.
You refuse to infer because you don't want to, not because you can't. But your strategy is to play ignorant, then pull it off into left field to avoid the original context.
You read what I wrote. You know what I meant. Unfortunately, I am not wrong.
Proving myself right to you is a waste of my time. But because you want to act immature, is page 3 of a Medicaid.gov report a credible source for you?

Your tone is clear that you can't debate the poster's comment. You just don't like it. This is off the top of my head, so please prove me wrong with citations, math, and facts.
One group is twice as likely to be on Medicaid, which provides needs based medical for those who can't pay for it. With the progressive tax system in the US, and the racial income disparities we hear about, that tells me one group pays the bills while the other is less likely to (generally, of course) pay income taxes.
So since this is needs based care, and is statistically more frequented by one group, it's the epitome of Marx: from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
Isn't that what the poster said initially? Can you dispute this?

I think there may have been truth in that. The fact that you didn't dispute his comments tells me you don't think they're wrong. What you didn't like is that he said the quiet part out loud.
Based on those lines, one side is far more dependent on the other to survive. I didn't think this was debated?

I have done it. While going up it's a weird feeling & I can't describe it, like an illusion. Have you ever seen a car with a bent frame driving straight down the road but the front of the car is facing 11 o'clock? I was going up but felt like I was sideways at the same time.

I saw when leaving work that SPCX was at $149. I thought, "I'll buy some when I get home." Guess I'll have to wait until the next dip to finally get in.
