How does one who just joined DDF a few days ago and hasn’t posted already have a full inbox?

We're looking for someone to go to Shoprite in Monticello NY (46 Thompson Square, Monticello, NY 12701) and purchase over $5,000 of packaged food. As soon as the purchase goes through, we'll PayPal the funds into your account (the same day). No need to pick up or store any product, we'll pick up the product and handle all logistics as soon as it arrives in store.

If you're interested, please reach out and I will provide more details.

Why would they need the middleman? (Would a phone order not be accepted?
Do they have no valid credit card and want to avoid making a trip for the order?)

When I see on the bio of an accountant "CPA, JD, Admitted in New York State and in The State of New Jersey", what does that mean? Admitted to what?

JD is a lawyer, so it's referring to the bar.

Probably better off asking in the what's your office setup thread

Why is it that "useless drivel" is more likely to get a like than actually helping someone (even from those that are helped)?

This whole thread has far too few likes: Master Thread Of Jack6941's Awesome Amazon/Walmart Deals
Remember if you derived any benefit from a post, like it.

Because useless drivel is exciting

To be fair - those posts are many times rewarded with a DDF currency far more valuable than a like.

Hat tips. And while some can feed their children with likes, no amount of likes will get you a bottle of Blue Label...

(Speaking to those who can't feed there children off them. All of us.)

If you get a certain amount of hat tips (100?) Dan's minhag is to send a present which usually includes liquor

For the same reason that people care about them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc etc. That instant sense of approval hits our brains in a very powerful way, and it can be addictive.

Quote from: Addiction Center link=https://www.addictioncenter.com/drugs/social-media-addiction/

Social media platforms such as Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram produce the same neural circuitry that is caused by gambling and recreational drugs to keep consumers using their products as much as possible. Studies have shown that the constant stream of retweets, likes, and shares from these sites have affected the brain’s reward area to trigger the same kind of chemical reaction as other drugs, such as cocaine. In fact, neuroscientists have compared social media interaction to a syringe of dopamine being injected straight into the system.
