So many spammers I just get it over as quicky as possible these days

I love keeping them on the phone as long as possible! It's damn-near a hobby of mine.

Today I got one I've never heard before. They were from the "Automobile Collision" Company that said they have money for me from my accident! I like free money...let's do this!

They transferred me three times up the chain...final one was their lawyer - that's where the call dropped. Suffice it to say...I was disappointed to not hear the end.

One of my favorites, in case y'all would like to use it - I claimed (in a Southern drawl) I was an Alligator Hunter...in Nevada. "Business is a bit slow...and I can't go to the zoo no more." Kept them on the line for 44 minutes...almost beat my record.

Fallout 76 Players Are Seeing an Increase in Griefing

Griefing in Fallout 76 is pretty much non-existent - it's an overblown "headline".

That community has been one of the most friendly and welcoming communities of pretty much any multi-player game in the last few years. Asking a question or for help from a complete stranger and getting way more information or assistance is actually the more common occurrence.

The game has been around for a long time, so welcoming or helping a newbie is sometimes a nice break from the grind for the high-level players.

Come on over newbies - the game has changed a LOT from its original iteration (which WAS a shitshow full of bugs and griefing - which is outdated information from long past).

Didn't feel like being confrontational today

I doubt he cut you off - if you've ever driven an old Jeep, just hitting a pothole (and there are LOTS of 'em!), it's an automatic lane-change!

I look at it as a game at this point - bonus points when you can look away from the road for 0.3 seconds while white-knuckled hands on the steering-wheel...and see the fear in the other driver's eyes.

I love my Jeep...you actually have to DRIVE IT WHILE FULLY FOCUSED versus playing with your phone!

You also need to realize that just because your state always votes red, it's NOT JUST THE PRESIDENTIAL VOTE that matters. It's the local politicians that get seats in the House and Senate that matter just as much (or more?!?). Pay attention just more than just who's running for President.
