They don't care about protests or backlash anymore

Companies are just doing whatever they want to collect data and money knowing that once they got people hooked on something, their complaints wouldn't matter because enough people would never leave to make a difference.

I didn't want these connected. Now they are forcing it. I've already deleted TikTok. I suppose Instagram is next. It will continue to spread and worsen in everything in our lives, even the things we don't have the choice to simply leave.

Somebody scratched my car when opening their door in a parking lot and nobody is helping me because the police said they can't write a report for this kind of incident in South Carolina. What am I supposed to do?

One day someone open their door and slammed it into my car's driver side. It's scratched it but it wasn't so severe that it's the first thing you notice. I didn't know where the person worked and couldn't find them. I asked security at my workplace to check the footage but they refuse to help me unless the cops told them to hand the footage over. There weren't even willing to look at it. They told me just make a police report. I called my insurance and they told me I'd be responsible for the deductible and my only hope was to make a police report. I spoke to several supervisors and they also told me it was up to security. So finally I called the cops, they come only to tell me that in South Carolina they can't make a report because the vandalism was not malicious and took place in a parking lot. They just handed me a piece of paper saying they couldn't do anything. I gave up because it was a minor scratch.

Now yesterday I parked my car again went to work and when I came back there was a nasty scratch on the passenger side now with white paint left behind. The car beside me was not white or even close. It was a dark color. It was also parked pretty well and far away from me. The door is unlikely to do that. I'm almost certain the person saw what damage they did and decided to change parking spaces. Because all of our shifts are the same I know they work there that day I just don't know who did it. The security won't help. The police won't even make a report. And insurance is telling me I'm responsible. What the hell am I supposed to do If people are allowed to destroy my property and walk away Scott free and force me to pay for it? That side of my car now looks ugly. Cars are not cheap. Do I have any options at all?

Google ads -- how to target customers and not waste the money in scammers?

how do i get it to target possible customers and not just a bunch of bots and scammers clicking the ad (wasting money) and emailing me about "getting me customers and taking a cut?" Ever since i started the campaign Ive gotten a lot of emails and every single one of them is this kind of email and what really screams scam is that a lot of them open by lying and pretending to be a customer that wonders about shipping without mentioning product or location etc. Upon inquiry they try to change the subject when i guide them to the product and purchase page. They then move in to trying to get money. I could be way off base but the way it came off to me is.. "customers" buy the product with stolen credit cards, I pay them their cut, and then the charge back hits me. Don't want to risk it.

I used a huge list of longtail and shorttail specific keywords and did a general campaign so i could get data before narrowing down on shopping just the shopping category.

How the hell am I supposed to find tutorials on starting a faceless channel WITHOUT ai?

Ive had several channels already but im trying to start fresh and do things differently. I wanted to find some inspiration and tutorials to find better ways of doing the things i was doing because the way i did it before took wayyyyyy too long to finish just one video.. even if i was successful the pay wouldnt justify the time taken.

But when i search in YouTube basically about anything faceless, all i get are how to make low effort AI videos. YouTube is now clogged with that shit. Ive even just searched in google and added "without ai" but still i dont get anything.

I previously posted about a weird sound. This is my first pressure washer and i bought it on marketplace.

This video shows that it seems to lose power temporarily when i press the trigger on the gun. Is this normal? Is it just adjusting itself?

It's the first time i bought a pressure washer and this one is a used one I got on marketplace. I did have to buy a new hose and gun for it and it's missing a lot of parts but the main unit is what i got.

The first video is what it sounds like on idle. It seems to choke or briefly lose power for a second and then pick up again. It does it on repeat between 5-15 seconds apart.

I have another video but it only lets me upload one.. so I'm about to post pt 2..

I use 2 CHATGPT accounts and one that is signed out across 3 different browsers. They all use the same model (except the signed out one) and use the free version. But on the 1st account, i can only generate 3 images per day.

The second account which is exactly the same is seemingly generating as many images as I want. What gives?

UPDATE: It finally stopped me. I probably generated around 50 times or so before i got a rate limit error. Still a lot more than the 3 per day from my other account.
