My buddy used his card at a vape shop one time and got a coupon in the mail for a brand of vape juice he never even bought. Creeped him out so bad he started keeping cash on him. Now he won't use his card anywhere unless it's for rent or something big.

Ngl the free speech club tracking no-shows is the real story here. That says more about performative activism than any of the actual signs do. If you can't even bother to show up to your own protest slot, the cause can't be that urgent.

Had a buddy go through the same thing last year. He bought one of those cheap boxes off Amazon for like 20 bucks and was so proud of himself. First couple days it was fine but then it started buffering on everything even basic YouTube videos. He tried factory resetting it, clearing cache, all that stuff but nothing helped. Eventually it just stopped turning on completely one random Tuesday night. He threw it in the drawer and went back to using his old Chromecast and admitted it was a mistake.

Wait, she was actually showing up uninvited to your apartment in Austin?! That's next level crazy, I would've lost it way before the gray rock stage.

Found a spring on an old topo map once, drove like 40 miles out to some wash in the desert. Turned out to be a rusty pipe sticking out of the ground with a trickle of water, but the whole area smelled like sulfur so bad we couldn't even get close. @evan_cooper73 your pump thing reminds me of that time my buddy swore he found an old well on his property, dug it out, and it was just a buried septic tank. Man, map legends really do love to LIE to us.
