Where the hell did you go to see all that? I’ve lived in the US for half a century and never seen any of that. There are some states that need to figure out how to pave roads that will last more than 2 years, but many states have figured that out.

I like it when my thing gets tingly.

If you put a tent there, I’d call it home.

I’ve never figured out how to view the sidebar in any of the Lemmy apps I’ve used.

R̶e̶d̶d̶i̶t̶ Lemmy

That’s how I spent my teenage years. I wasn’t much of an adult yet.

Mine will show “Spam” or “Telemarketer”, but there’s no way to stop it from ringing trough, outside of blocking each number afterward. I’d like to know who thought that just announcing spam was better than not letting it through.

I agree. Nazis are ok, but the Illinois Nazis are horrible.

It’s because of the napkin gnomes. Nobody can ever catch them.

Try making it legible. I can’t make out most of it because the characters are not clear and they are not lined up well enough to understand the flow. Maybe hire someone with better penmanship than you.

I hate to be the negative person, but I think you would be adding so much complications that it would necessarily cause delay at the very least. I’d be fascinated to see if you could prove me wrong, though.

That could apply to almost anything in the news nowadays.

I agree. It’s just annoying when people link to stories or videos from it and you can’t access them unless you have an account. I guess I’ve just got FOMO, but I’ll just keep complaining every time someone does that. They’ll either stop doing it or block me.

Eh, I’ve decided not to worry about it. Like I said, I only used it so that when people posted something somewhere that is linked to FB, I could see it. I figured I would try to get back into my account if it was possible to without giving them my id, but it doesn’t seem like it is so I won’t . It’s not that big of deal. I’ve always uninstalled Facebook from every phone I’ve bought, and only connected to it through a sandbox because I don’t like or trust Meta. It’s not a big loss.

There is nothing more to it. My original account was never suspended. Like I said, I only use it to click on links to FB. I’ve never posted anything.

I used a DDG email for the new account. IDK if that has anything to do with it. I know some sites don’t accept that as an email. I got a welcome email a little afterward, and clicked the link. When I signed in, It also said I was suspended.

I am using a VPN. Maybe it’s because that IP address has been used for another account. I’m just guessing there, because it didn’t tell me why it was suspended. It just gave me a link to their TOS.

I did the email verification, but then I have to also give them an id.

I tried making a new account. As soon as I verified my email (which was a different email than my old account), I got a notification that my account was suspended and I have 180 days to appeal.

This doesn’t answer your question, but I will take this time to rant about Jackson Hewitt. I’ve never used them, but I had an 18 year old employee making a little over minimum wage that used them about 20 years ago. His taxes were simple and just, at the time, a 1040EZ. It’s a simple one page document that takes about 1 minute to fill out. He didn’t owe any federal tax, so he should have received back all that he had paid in that year. Jackson Hewitt took all of his refund plus about $200. I wouldn’t be surprised if all the places you listed are just as scummy.

I’ve always done my own taxes except when I had to withdraw from my 401k for a large hospital bill. I went to a local independent tax preparer that charged me $100, but she had a special code that saved me several thousands of dollars in taxes and penalties for early withdrawal from 401k. There was no way that I could have done that on my own. The IRS gives accountants special “powers” that make them necessary. The fact that an entire industry is built around just figuring out how much taxes you owe is a travesty.

The only issue with Audile. Is that you have to sign up for AudD. The cheapest option is $5/month. If you use it a lot, then that could be worth it. I would like to find an open source replacement for SoundHound, but since I only use it, maybe 10 times a year, it isn’t worth $60/year.

I can’t see it. It just times out.
