If you want to use Enhancer for YouTube*, you have to* disable its adblocking*.*

This was the key for me.

Li Xiang talking to an “investor”:

"You need to understand that because we aim to recover our investment quickly, we certainly don't pay local taxes, and the interest rates we offer violate local laws," he says.

Then he explained what his company does to recover loans. "If you don't repay, we may add you on WhatsApp, and on the third day, we will call and message you on WhatsApp at the same time, and call your contacts. Then, on the fourth day, if your contacts don't pay, we have specific detailed procedures. "We access his call records and capture a lot of his information. Basically, it's like he's naked in front of us."

Same Li Xiang talking to BBC:

When asked for comment, Li Xiang told the BBC that he and his companies comply with all local laws and regulations, have never run predatory loan apps, have ceased collaboration with Jiyaliang, the loan recovery company run by Liang Tian Tian and Parshuram Takve, and do not collect or use customers' contact information. He said his loan recovery call centres adhere to strict standards and he denied profiting from the suffering of ordinary Indians. Majesty Legal Services deny using customers' contacts to recover loans. They told us their agents are instructed to avoid abusive or threatening calls, and any violation of the company's policies results in dismissal.

Take that man behind the barn and shoot him. What a disgusting “business.”

They’ve already shored up the courts. They’re not far off.

Camel toe? Moose knuckle?

On one hand, it was inevitable. 23andMe is one sweet pot. We’ve always known genetic data would one day be used for nefarious purposes and consumer were warned back then to be cautious with what they were signing up for. On the other, how in the world did they not better safeguard and isolate user data? I’d expect encryption and safeguards on par with a password manager like 1Password.

The company said its systems were not breached and that attackers gathered the data by guessing the login credentials of a group of users and then scraping more people’s information from a feature known as DNA Relatives

I know I have the DNA relative feature enabled but I would’ve never imagined that was scrapeable and a vulnerability.

Knowing full well nobody read it in its entirety and only contributed so they wouldn’t look bad…except for Paul and Shannon. Those two always seem to find the time to do it all.

I’m neither a lawyer nor scholar but that wouldn’t seem to preclude term limits or explicitly establish lifetime appointments.

Play ST: Resurgence and you’ll have yet another possibility!

One is his name. And the other is not.

I knew I hated Pulaski from that moment on.

S5E7: Infinite Regress.

Here’s a clip.

Yes! Great example and another of my favorite episodes that show her talent.

Pfft with all that tax-subsidized rent to be made? They love it.

For all the sex appeal she was supposed to add to the show, she really is an extraordinary actress and a fascinating character.

The episode where she shifts between all the species the Borg have assimilated shows her exceptional range.

I’m trying Kagi now but I’m having mixed feelings. Search results are mixed at best for some pretty commonplace topics (e.g. Starfield quests or breaking news).

Also, the search limit (for the trial and basic plans) stresses me and I find myself second guessing whether I really need to search for something. I like it but I haven’t come across a “wow!” moment that makes me want to abandon DDG, despite the transparency and privacy-focus.

Careful with that or you could wind up an intergalactic salamander!

A speaker needs to be able to speak coherent sentences…

There is nobody better than Trump at willing his own reality into existence. He teases some absurd idea then lets the subconscious of his MAGA fanbase bring it to life. I’m torn between disbelief and “of course they’re legitimately thinking about this.”

I can hear this headline in Buzzfeed, Fox, and HuffPost fonts.

The visceral reaction I had to your username cannot be understated…

With that out of the way, I’m disappointed with Diablo IV being always on. I loved every one up to 3 and never craved online interaction. I get it’s where the money is at but for that reason, as the Sharks would say, I’m out.

What I’d give to go back and relive the joy of GhanaSaysGoodbye

This is Gold. Pokemon Gold.
