I hereby am on the record about a scam that maybe hasnt happened yet [searching I could only find a fake-news thing about selling chuck-e-cheese coins as bitcoins]

I saw an article about how if you want to encourage the elderly to invest in bitcoins, you have to explain they aren't real coins. But you see pictures all the time suggesting that they are real coins.

So I predict there will be scams involving minting fake coins and selling them as bitcoins to the gullible.

Any for sale?

Even when I try to see through this illusion, I can't do it. (floor is completely flat) Perhaps they should hide this kind of illusion behind prison exits. Prisoners find a way through the door and see this ahead as they run away. Probably fall or hit the wall.

Just how many times do I need to mark an email address domain as trusted before Outlook will stop sending it to the clutter folder?

you may have exceeded your limits for the list or more likely its already on that clutter list and you have to affirmatively remove it from there.

Left wing snowflakes are killing comedy, tearing down historic statues, removing books from universities, dumbing down panto, removing Christ from Christmas and suppressing free speech. Sadly, it must be true, history does repeat itself. It will be music next.

Not sure if I agree with this but aside from what got dumped on Erie, PA, what is meant by a left wing snowflake?

I'm pretty sure that clutter feature is trying to get me fired.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

Yeah, that's my problem, too.

At first it was neat, getting rid of email I'd erase but from senders I might want to receive in the future. lately, though, it sends customer's emails to clutter.
