And the Irks STILL managed to sell out too soon. Wish they’d said quantity was limited so we weren’t all waiting to make sure we wanted $100 worth of what came up.
@raive I’m pretty sure there was a time limit that also said “or until sold out” on the sidedeal page before the sellout. I remember checking to see if it was unlimited.
@medz@raive Yes, the famous 23 hour grift. You got 'em. Definitely just wasn’t a test to see if people wouldn’t spend $100 on junk to get $50 in other junk that failed miserably for 23 of 24 hours.
@baqui63@jaybird believe it or not, several of us still lurk somewhere in a weird corner of the internet after all these years. alas…also have to work tomorrow. cheers, jay!
@jaybird Thanks - laid off after 25 yrs - quite the blow. If anyone needs one of the top telecom expense managers in the country, Im the guy. I squeeze $ from carriers like water from a sponge
@jaybird yep - looking into an LLC actually - I delivered over $26 million back to my former company in 24 yrs, prying it penny by penny out of the telco’s. No cut in those savings of course, but moving forward, I am going to ensure there is a fee.

@raive they probably only sold 10 IRKs. All part of the grift.

Yes, a lot of overpriced junk much more cleverly disguised to sell $50 irks that definitely “sold out” 23 hours into the ruse, I mean “event”.
LMAO at any troglodyte actually whining that the IRK “sold out”.
@meh Resorting to namecalling because you couldn’t get one either? It’s okay to cry, buddy. Let it all out.
@meh Hi!
Didn’t think you graced us peasants with your presence anymore. How’ve you been?
@jaybird Heyo, been a minute but I’m aight and as cranky as ever. How’re you?
@raive Yes, much like you, I failed to buy a $50 IRK for 23 hours. Sigh.
@meh cranky? You? Nooooooo…lol. I’m well. The kid is almost 11…I feel old…
@meh It’s ok. I believe in you. You’ll manage to get one someday
@raive Believing in yourself is the first step
@jaybird Kids…how do they work!? We’re all getting old homie, but not as old as @baqui
@meh I believe you mean @baqui63
@baqui63 @jaybird 63!? i’m too old for this shit.
@jaybird @meh Hi JTB!
My younger one is 27 and the older, 29 and a mommy since August 20, 2021.
@baqui63 @meh congrats grandpa. Look, almost a third of the gang is here
@baqui63 @jaybird believe it or not, several of us still lurk somewhere in a weird corner of the internet after all these years. alas…also have to work tomorrow. cheers, jay!
@baqui63 @meh goodnight meh. I often wonder if that weird corner still exists. I’ll have to try and find it again sometime.
I actually bought something I need - a standing desk. Now to find a job…
@jmhsrv good luck on the search.
@jaybird Thanks - laid off after 25 yrs - quite the blow. If anyone needs one of the top telecom expense managers in the country, Im the guy. I squeeze $ from carriers like water from a sponge
@jmhsrv sounds like you’ve experience to be a consultant… complete with consulting FEES
@jaybird yep - looking into an LLC actually - I delivered over $26 million back to my former company in 24 yrs, prying it penny by penny out of the telco’s. No cut in those savings of course, but moving forward, I am going to ensure there is a fee.
@jmhsrv I would love to see your old company hire your LLC for consulting, and then pay you your equivalent year’s salary in fees.
@jaybird @jmhsrv probably more than that salary, and as one client of many!
