  @Farmville I’ve tried ALL the workarounds and have contacted support SEVERAL times since the issue. I even tried contacting my VIP manager and got crickets. At this point I’m ready to file a complaint with PayPal to get the money back that I spent on that farm unless someone can help me!

  @meetedzenebubu honestly the bigger issue isn't paypal specifically, it's betting everything on one platform at all, stripe has its own version of these problems too. we route across a couple processors using paymentkit instead of picking one "winner," keeps things running regardless of which one has a bad week.

  @hasmagoria anyways I think atp I have to assume you just get off on lolis and being talked down to by horses online so if you’d like to continue this conversation i’ll give you my PayPal bc why anyone would continue to talk to you without being properly compensated for it

  @lql_00 Gosh that sucks, really sorry to hear that. This is seriously not okay at all, so many I heard having this issue unfortunately. I hope you can get it resolved asap. If you paid with PayPal under 6 months, try filing a refund through PayPal!!

  @drp825_ Option sellers win 90% of the time- this one is complete, misleading, bullshit, because option Buyer will win once but big enough to offset and more his nine losses, Average down to reduce cost basis- this is called buying a falling knife, it’s really stupid, the stock can fall 70% like Facebook did a couple years ago, and it can stay there for years and years and years, like PayPal or ENPH etc. You must wait for the stock to stop falling and reverse back to the upside before you buy more, basically you have to buy the smiley face on the chart.

  I’ve had a business idea running through my head for a couple of years. It’s a short-term SMS marketing concept targeted at a VERY specific group of people with a very specific need. I was thinking about it again this morning and realized something: The idea hasn’t really changed. My ability to actually build the damn thing has. A few years ago, testing this would have been a giant pain in the ***. I would have needed some combination of a web developer, designer, copywriter, database, landing page, SMS platform, payment processor, automation software, and probably somebody technical enough to make all of those things talk to each other. Suddenly, a little experiment becomes a PROJECT. And that’s before I even know if anybody wants the thing. Today, I can sit down with ChatGPT Work, Codex, Claude Code, CoWork, or another capable AI tool and say: “Here’s an idea I’ve had for a couple of years. There was too much friction to build it before. What would it take to create an MVP (minimum viable product), basically the simplest version I could put in front of real people and test?” Then we can start building. I’ll probably still need something like Twilio for SMS and Stripe or PayPal for payments. That’s fine. The difference is that the AI can quarterback the whole thing. It can help build the landing page or lightweight app, handle the database, write the copy, connect APIs and MCPs, set up automations, and stitch the specialized tools together. That changes the economics of experimenting with a business idea. You can vibe code a workable version, put it in front of actual humans, see what happens, learn, and iterate. If people actually want it, THEN you can decide how much you want to invest in making it better and scaling it. Which got me thinking… How many good ideas are sitting in our mental graveyards because they were too expensive, too technical, or just too much of a pain in the *** to build when we first had them? Maybe it’s worth digging a few of those back up. Grab one and tell your favorite AI tool: “I had this idea a few years ago, but there was too much friction to build it. Given what’s available today, how could we create a simple version and test it?” Some of those old ideas might make a hell of a lot more sense in 2026. 👊🏻
