who are you?

A name a lot of us recognize unlike you ya know

coca-cola is a southern institution being created in atlanta, ga and southerners have been drinking the flavor-aid ever since.

https://www.reddit.com/r/papermoney/comments/15neaqt/anyone_know_what_this_is_worth/

nearly 9 thousand upvotes for this. two months ago it'd have 4 upvotes with at least one person laying out the truth that it is an altered novelty bill that is worth maybe one dollar more than face value.

kinda funny in a way.

The papermoney sub is one I have been a member of for a while. Now, as long as I can recall, there have been opposing factions at odds, because hardcore currency and light currency posts are present. Somebody showing off a true Confederate note from the 1800s, all the way to paper shillings and other things, foreign currency, and people asking if a certain serial number or star note are valuable.

Now, I started this hobby because of serial numbers and star notes, so I have a small soft spot for such posts, though some people will ask if a completely random serial number is valuable ex (47342739) and that can get a little annoying sometimes.

The division comes from people who want more posts about antique or historical currency, they find serial number posts bogus unless it's something huge like 00000001 or 77777777. People have complained. efforts have been made to reduce the number of these posts through moderations and stickies and side bars etc. But they still persist. I never liked this attitude because people who are starting out sometimes need a person to direct them in ways a sticky could not. I see no reason to not be nice, answer the question, and move on. or just ignore it. I would never want to be an asshole to a new collector or something curious. So, the sub kind of had two identities and sometimes they'd butt heads. I never really understood why both couldn't coexist, but that would require some people to ignore a sizeable chunk of posts on the forum, which isn't difficult but yeah.

Something happened....A few weeks or a month ago a post got reddit popular to some degree. I actually forget what the post was, but it attracted thousands of new visitors and then subs to the papermoney forum. So now, in some way, regular reddit has noticed.

And what is happening is the sub is turning out worse than any serial number thread could imo because its becoming regular, normie reddit. you have people who have just now picked up at least a small interest in currency but aren't knowledgeable. This generally isn't a bad thing(new people means you have a chance to get them seriously interested in becoming numismatists!), but what that influx entails is regular reddit.

Thousands of upvotes for a picture of "Disney Dollars" from the 1980s asking if they are real, the current most upvoted post in r/PM history about a person who confiscated a fake $100 bill from a customer, with lots of confidently incorrect information being floated about what a cashier can and can not do if they suspect or know they have fake currency, etc. That same misinformation may have been posted before the influx, but the post itself wouldn't have been as popular and the misinformation would have been easier to shoot down.

In a way it is kind of funny to see, because I never understood why the "historical/antique" currency fans had to have such disdain at times for the "serial number" fans(many of which are new collectors), so now we have something actually much worse.

anyways, before anybody mentions it I don't expect anybody to actually care about this post but here we are baby! gimme a Zang "ok" and the world'll be alright

that makes sense

they dang found a way to fit a round peg.....in a square hole...

Euclid died trying to accomplish this, but in 1982 some unnamed scientist at IBM just dang did it.

the sensor the image is printed on is rectangular!!!!

Actually, I remember one or two local cons ago Michael Rooker was there, and people directly mentioned The Walking Dead and Henry: Portrait of a serial killer with no issue.

I saw two Q+As, Andy Serkis and Marisa Tomei.

What was weird is, there was to be no discussion about any films in particular. I went to this a few times now and do not remember that rule. I thought at first this was about future projects or things that are yet to be released so they don't breach any contract, but no, they couldn't ask about LOTR or Gollum or Spider Man or My Cousin Vinny.

So we have people asking like "How surprised were you when you won the Oscar for your role in the movie about the lawyer and the car?" or "in that one movie featuring a famous arachnid character...." and just being vague all around.

I have no idea why it was like this, because it makes no sense. I think even once Marisa asked her agent or whoever on the side of the stage if she could answer a question because it referenced a movie directly.

So we have Q+As with fan favorite celebrities but people can't ask questions about any specific movies they were in? whats...the point...?

I used to do a very bad impression of Steve Harvey on Family Feud because this kind of situation is in almost every episode.

they ask 100 people a "racy" question and steve just melts down/overreacts every time.

We asked 100 married men, what does a woman want in her mouth?
First answer: uhh an apple
Steve: Apple, huh? Survey says.....KCHHH
Second answer: Uhh, a penis?
Steve: Oh lawd, oh god, what - what did you just say, oh god, this that type of question then. Oh lord. A....not gonna say what my man just said! Ding! (34 people said this answer)

It's like kind of the point but it's also kind of stupid and hilarious at the same time

Hanapepe Hawaii?? My man

They will.

It seems simple enough. Cambells buys Rao's, uses their power and influence to take that same Rao's and put it in every home like Ragu, but what really is going to happen is the recipe is going to get cheaper and shittier.

That's it.

Yeah I wouldn't trust the company. Hire a lawyer to cover his ass if anything.

Oh shoot I have a vinyl record with a live version of that DK song on it, but I havent heard it in a few years. Nice.

Don't ask me, call (303) 499 7111

That's what time it is

I dont think sports cards have failed as collectibles?

In my estimation they have not. They are still hugely collectible, with The National card convention attracting thousands of visitors every year. Of course, not everything that was speculated on became worth more than a few bucks, but that goes for any collectible. And there are a lot of numbered stuff that even has no value, like something out of 50...they make stuff collectible like this so much now it does water it down some.

But if you open a box of Topps Triple Threads and get a 16 signature booklet, which you could sell for a few thousand minimum, you have struck gold.

He has been separated! Good. Now I can go forward with somebody who hopefully doesn't do this stuff

I don't like the bots, because it's just yet another thing i need to scroll past to find actually useful information.

A guy with 18+ long throwing and the ability 'possesses long flat throw ability'

This is such a hidden way to create goals. any throw in from the final third could go in, and a lot of time they do. Couple that with a few tall guys with good heading and man you're in for a good time.

What is a long throw specialist? This guy...

I just had two of these with my own players in one game. It's really satisfying to see, even on the same level as a perfectly placed free kick for me.

Sounds like ownership was mad that everyone isn't pretending the Orioles didn't suck until very recently

I don't get why. They had a rough few years because of a rebuild and now they're flying high - because of the rough few years during the rebuild. Pretty standard stuff and if the rebuild brings a championship nobody will care that 2 years ago the team went 49-114 or something

This guy just no called no showed the training center. I tried to call him to ask what's up and no response. I'm going to let my Dm secretary know I do not want this guy.

Not my call unfortunately. Now if he skips training at the regional office today that he definitely was told about several times I'm pretty sure that'll be it but again not my decision

Because we're all United in thinking it sucks?

Actually I've never played that franchise so I don't know which games suck so ignore me

I can definitely see ghosting if the job has red flags like if you hear a manager tearing down an employee first day or something. But there's no red flags here. I don't know the motivation to walk off but I may never understand.

Hopefully he doesn't come back because I'd rather hire somebody else and I know somebody who would be reliable

When asked why he'd be the best candidate for the job(yes bs question I know. Not my call) he said "well I dunno, I'm just perfect"

Being early 20s I interpreted it as youthful optimism...

First day: onboarding. Filling out stuff on the computer. Finished it. Went out for a vape and never came back according to my assistant.

I don't get it but.....laugh at me though because my intuition was w r o n g

I've bitten and torn up my nails but never lost a whole one at once.

My dad did. We were on vacation in vegas and his suitcase jammed into his toe, causing his entire big toe nail to rip off clean. He kept it, took it home and it was sitting on the table as kind of a joke. I wanted to touch it because since I bit my nails and such I always liked when a huge piece of the white stuff would come off, but the entire nail? damn.

But ma threw it out thinking it was a corn chip. Boooo ma

So, on a real note a few years back I had colon surgery for diverticulitis and I got 12in of colon removed. After that my bowels and my gas were unpredictable to say the least. I'd have days where I'd be megafarting all day.

But wait, there's audio!!

Always great when you find a spot you like. Work dread is the fucking worst and it sucks because cutting it out might mean no food which....food is important.

I don't actually care that people want to record stuff at shows ineherently, but I hate when screens are blocking my view of the show.

This video here is one I like. It was fan recorded but I don't mind because finding video footage of this band is fairly difficult.

This is a few steps back from the disposable type of memories that are sometimes created at certain concerts.

Left wing is going to torch down cities because of police brutality, the right wing is going to have lone gunmen, inspired by internet communities to shoot up LGBTQ clubs and storm the capital building.

The left seems to do more property damage, the right seems to do more actual killing.

(this is my observation which may actually be complete bullshit)

The West Wing. one call and baby we're in ww5

(because ww5 is so intense it skips over the other two)

They DID have a song that said "lets get r******* in here" famously censored to "lets get it started in here" because it was everywhere. TV shows, movies, commercials....

lets not act like they're saints. Though I don't really care, they did have some "dirty" songs though.

If I owned GameFAQs i'd be THE king.

I'd bring back some fucking class, that's for sure.

I help people with that when necessary. It isn't so much that, but one licensee(bar or restaurant with license) buys a ton of stuff, like 500+ bottles at at time. Some of it is ordered in with my store as the pickup point, some is picked up in store. Last friday was 34 cases of items going to them. But in that case it's more so me sliding down a belt into their truck.

But no, a regular person buying like 50 items wouldn't really bother me.

It may be considered anal to try to deny a return the day after the cutoff, but the more this happens the more people realize they can abuse it and that same customer may be back to return other shit, then you have people return 90% eaten food items they "didnt like" or clothes bought 14 years ago.

The thing is, retail workers are generally okay with letting close cutters slide if they are nice, but you can never tell which ones are legitimately appologietic and which ones just act that way to get the expectation that rules don't matter whatchu gonna do.

I work in a liquor store and it's honestly 10% or less, mainly because the alcoholics know they can't cause problems or we could ban them. They come in, get their stuff and leave in two minutes. It also helps I am working in a gov't run state store, so people feel less inclined to cause problems because of that(I think).

She was 20/21 in that scene.

I have one but the screen displays stuff all choppy. I hear this is a fairly easy fix if you know how to solder stuff. one day I want to get it running again, because while it's stupid schools mandate this one particular brand of calaculator and as a result you're paying $100 for 20+ year old piece of technology, it IS a great calculator.

The reason is because your credit limit across all cards decreased resulting in a lower credit utilization %

That one Gigachad who shows up with a Casio grapher on the first day of school.

The florida governor's race was like 51-49 in favor of the republicans the last two elections. The first time DeSantis came up he won over Andrew Gillum by 30,000 votes. I don't know what happened, but DeSantis won the most recent governor's race by a much larger margin over Charlie Crist.

I don't feel Florida is out of reach, though it depends on two things: how many democrats have left because of the awful policies of DeSantis, and how many Floridians understand their governor going toe to toe vs Disney and being THE anti-woke governor isn't helping their state at all.

Be careful about doing that because a closed account can affect your credit and lower your score

Isn't this just a temporary hit, and probably not a huge hit in the first place?

Though I hear stories of somebody doing a mundane thing and their score dropping 100 points, I wouldn't be worried. If the card isn't benefitting you, don't use it.
