MY THEORY, because a premium paid member inquired about the possibility of that option and admin obliged. Premium paid members can be “invisible”, premium paid members can make their points “invisible” to others and premium paid members can hide their gifts.
I opt to use the invisibility feature for myself and for my points. As a premium paid member, I realty don’t see any perk to hiding my gifts and wondered whether anyone was able offer rationale on why they choose to hide their gifts.
My apologies, the term “hide” was misleading or incorrect.
There is a box at the top of my gift page that I could ✅ and by doing so, would deny other members access to viewing my gifts. In my mind, those gifts are now hidden from view of others.
I thought you meant profile page. That was made so long ago so that not only I do not remember the reason, I forgot it's there altogether. My guess would be someone did not want others to see piles of shit someone sent to them and were too frugal to destroy them. But it's possible I just made it myself same way I made possible to hide friends, favorites and comments. Just as a package of premium options to make premium more attractive.
I used to hide mine because often certain males would get upset or jealous over gifts I received or certain women would visit my page and bitch at someone for sending me a gift. I’m hardly around and points and gifts don’t mean anything to me anymore really so don’t care to hide. I honestly find it weird to looking at what comments a person has received or gifts they get, kinda nosy.
That's a great idea but I'm sure their lawyers would tell them that people are assumed innocent until proven guilty.
I worked in a major department store once in one of my coworkers was talking about exactly this idea and we thought it was a great one. I still do.
I enjoy scrolling through YouTube and find many videos that show police slapping handcuffs on folks who are being “detained”. Is it possible that Walmart has the right to detain folks, until police arrive, in locked cages when they/Walmart has video evidence, that the subject was observed and or caught on camera concealing merchandise or skip scanning?
Although falling thru the floor can happen this is all ai generated.there are no floor joist under the floor once it opens if you notice. I was shown some videos over the weekend of our campers rolling around flipping over and such, all Ai generated, looked real at a glance but as soon as I saw the bottom of what was supposed to be mine, it was obvious it wasn't real. Besides the fact i slept it for 2 nights and brought it home! But it was odd to see my light weight single axle camper push over a diesel pusher motorhome!
I had no idea being a jew was so difficult.
You can't tear toilet paper on certain days or wear a certain watch. sheesh how do they keep up with this stuff?

Yea i was hoping that we could ditch that mess but apparently the Loonies that think you can cut the end off of a blanket and sew it to the top will make the blanket longer.
I want to walk first thing in the morning but have to wait until almost 7:30am for it to be reasonably light. Yep, I don’t want to wander upon a gator or a snake! Oh, hell NO!
We’re off to what I anticipated, the time change is going to screw me up for a few days. Yeah, I woke up shortly after 5a (yesterday it would have been 6a) and I will struggle to stay awake until 11 or 11:30p because my body knows that yesterday it was 12/12:30a.
I had three clocks, a battery operated clock in my family room, a battery operated clock on the kitchen wall and the stupid clock on the stove. I lucked out, there’s no clock on the microwave!
well, it says 8 but it is 7, i have got to change the alarm clock at least because i have a appointment to get die in my viens in the morning to see where the plumbing is clogged up so i have to get up at the right time. If it weren't for that , i wouldn't bother changing the clocks for a while , because our power blinks some times when folks hit power poles or repairs are being made. and there is about 10 clocks to set.
I was chatting with a member and mentioned merchants charging their customers an additional 3% for using their credit card. I can’t imagine the 3% “convenience fee” is a Michigan or Florida thing, do you find that merchants you’re engaging with are passing their fee along to you?
Yes a lot of places here are adding the 3% , it seems to be more restaurants right now adding it to the bill, I’m not sure how regular shops are adding it, because they wouldn’t know how you were going to pay
Wow, just restaurants? When you say “regular shops”, please explain.
Yes, approximately a year+ ago, it was the “mom and pop” restaurants that added 3% to your check if you used your credit card but this year……. I was gobsmacked when I was charged 3% convenience fee at both the Buick and Cadillac dealership when I used my credit card for service related work. Like the average person (me) always carries $500 cash money with them at all times! And both dealerships, which are not related, are part of multi dealership “franchises”.
Regular shops, I mean like department stores, Walmart, grocery stores, there is no actual add on that I can see as of yet. Yes Subaru wanted to charge me 3% if I put a down payment on my credit card to get the reward points, I told them hell no !!!
Thank you, I now understand and agree that the regular shops have not YET added an additional 3% fee if a credit card is used!
Effective November 15, my insurance company is charging the 3% fee. I lucked out because my auto and home owners renewal effective date is November 1, woo hoo! I’m a bit skeptical about giving any company my checking account and routing numbers or allowing the same to store my debit card numbers on file.
Old school, YES, check writing, HECK NO! In most instances, writing a check normally translates to requiring a postage stamp and I am too cheap in that respect! I really only write six checks per year 1) summer property taxes and another check for winter property taxes 2) every 90 days, a check for water/sewerage/refuse. Perhaps there is way to pay those bills without writing a check, I haven’t explored that possibility.
In the past, I’ve charged almost everything and when it’s time to pay, I transfer funds from my checking account to my credit card account. Easy, breezy!
This was my logic from a hundred years ago but apparently I’m going to have to revamp my thinking for the next hundred years. My “motto” was why pay for something now when I can pay for it later. I know that type of thinking gets many people in trouble but it WORKED for me until a year ago. Basically I USE two credit cards and I pay them off every month. And because I have the type of credit cards that I have, every month my credit card(s) give me back up to 3% which translates to $80 + for paying the bill in full. I look at it as being free money.
There are plenty of people who charge, charge, charge and only pay their minimum payment and are being charged 28% interest OR MORE. They are in debt up to their eyeballs and the 3% “convenience fee” is going to hurt even more.
I question whether the majority of the world’s young people have been taught cursive writing skills. What do you think their signature line might look like…….X ?

I can see links for it but. I have not attempted to use them. I am afraid these types of sites are my pet hate. We have all become accustomed to getting ‘stuff’ for free on the internet and see nothing wrong in downloading/watching copyright material on such sites.
I have not looked into this site but yes, that is what I am suggesting. If you can stream download a new or recent film at no cost I would suggest that the site is infringing copyright and hence what it is doing is illegal. Many of my friends have no problem with that, I am the weird one.
They may operate on the same prinicable that some stuff is on Youtube.It is posted for review,critcism,education and blah blah. Frankly,I have not paid to see a movie in 20 years.and don't intend to.If I can't watch it online or on tv,I just don't watch it.To much money is wasted over copyrights and all that other crap.if your actions,looks,or knowledge is worth so much to you that you can't share it to make a better world,keep it in your brain.
If everyone were to take you view then there is a very good chance that there would not be any film, music or book publishing industry. The people who create music, films and books do it for art maybe, but for a living and giving it away free is not viable.
Sadly sites that illegally allow music, filsma nd books to be downloaded cost free have made people expect everything for free. they would not rob a store but happily download a new movie that is copyright protected. They don't see that it is exactly the same.
However, I guess you totally disagree.
Not totaly but for the most part.What really burns me is the fact if I am standing on a street corner,and you take my picture,you can sell that picture for a profit.I get nothing,can do nothing to keep my face from being plastered all over hell.Because you would own the "copyright".But it is ME in the picture,but yet I have NO control.that is just not right.
As for movies,music, those people get a pay check for their work when it is done. once the movie is out, they have made their money,so why should they have further say or control or expect more money? Scratchs head on that.
The performing artists have their money, but what about the company that funded the project? On release they have a black hole of debt to recoup. The publishing company has paid an advance to the author to get the book. How do either recoup their money put up front if they cannot charge for people to see, hear, read the product?
Sadly, I'm guilty of that too. I try to stay with Netflix, Prime, and a few truly legal and free ones but once or twice, when I wanted to watch some specialty movie and it was offered only on one of those sites wher you have to load the movie in 4 pieces (dead giveaway) I went ahead and did it.
MY THEORY WHICH IS A GUESS is because they destroy their gifts to convert to additional points!

Here's another point to ponder, why is that even a feature? How did it come about?
Did someone recommend it or is it just part of a package of options? Thanks.

I noticed that Mary, Queen of Scots, The Mule and Bohemian Rhapsody are just a few of the offerings.
