I’m sorry @chigrima but this just passed peer review:
smoked a joint the sorcerer gave me and experienced life as a 1989 toyota tercel from assembly and production until i was left derelict in a junkyard in baker california oxidizing and rusting for 10,000 years. my favorite part was five hundred years in when a family of armadillos moved in for a few weeks
Okay but this is serious, I work in retail and I had a lady come up and ask for 2 $500 Google play gift cards. We have been trained to look for these scams and to warn the customers NEVER give the card numbers over the phone unless you have met this person face to face. I told the lady this and she started crying, saying they were the IRS and that if she hung up they would call the police and have her arrested. They wanted to keep her on the phone so she couldn’t call her husband, who was more aware of how the IRS works. I was able to convince her to hang up and call the police on *them* instead, and saved her $500.
Scams are serious, people lose a lot of money and older people are targeted the worst because they’re easy targets.
First of all, the IRS will *never* call you and ask for money, and they definitely won’t call the cops on you. They’ll get your money if they really want it through taxes.
But now they’re trying to target our generation using crypto, which is super hard to trace if the money gets lost. So they’re getting smarter, and they’ll use whatever they can to get you to give them money.
What you really need to know or take away from this is: NEVER, and I mean EVER, buy a gift card and give the barcode number on the back to someone over the phone. It is ALWAYS, 100%, a scam!
Please be safe and hang up on these fuckers the second they ask you to buy a gift card.
I had a young guy, couldn’t be more than 25, who also fell for one of these scams.
He came into my store, and bought 2 $500 Visa cards (which are known to backfire, and be unviable if you buy too many). The one card did backfire, and wouldn’t work, and thus, he began crying and panicking.
The guy told my coworker someone had a picture of him, and this person would get said picture to go viral if he didn’t send them the numbers for the cards. The young man, panicked, broke down crying, and said he wasn’t sure what to do.
My coworker told him to call the police.
Another older man, elderly, came in and bought a $500 Apple card, claiming it was for his lawyer who would send it to his kids.
This older man sent the numbers over the phone, then the “lawyer” claimed the numbers didn’t work. The man was home by this point, and since he was disabled, he called the store asking politely, worriedly, for a refund. I told him he’d have to call Apple for a refund, since we can’t do it and the card said it activated on our end.
He ultimately sent in his neighbor who tried talking to me, and I told her the same thing: she has to call Apple for a refund, the card is perfectly viable, and activated.
So some takeaways from all this:
Scammers will nearly always say the card doesn’t work, even though they’re actually activated
Scammers will nearly always ask for the maximum amount of payment available to a card (usually $500)
Scammers will nearly always blackmail you
The IRS will NEVER call you, that is illegal on their end, and they only communicate via mail
Anyone of any age can and will fall for these scams, so bear in mind these things, and do not fall for them yourself! Always call the police!!
Interesting to call this “confiscating” when it’s just making the rich pay their fair share, especially considering all the stolen wealth from the bottom 99% and historic tax evasion.
You guys ever just make a stupid joke build for a frame and then it becomes the only way you play that frame?

The results are in! My ammo pool hurts!
Twin Vipers Wraith is the highest firerate I know of, so I built for even more and then used the buffs. This is the result. Kept shooting after it switched to Boar Prime because I think the pellet spread is interesting. It likes to go up and to the right of the reticle.
