Your underestimating the value of the cloak. That's a specific model they made for this set and only released 300,000 of them. Its a super rare piece.

Neither were planned, plan was to have 0. Mistakes were made, but hopefully for the kids, not regretted.

They got the wrong guy, subman is a breeze in the wind compared to subparman.

10 minute mail for anything I don't want to sign in to ever again.

Otherwise I have a gmail I made for the purpose, the address is some generic words and numbers that don't look like a complete spam (in case I need to send an email and hope to get a response).

Hang on pal, I know you're in a rush, but I just need to know if you want pepperoni or sausage on this thing. I promise you it'll be done in like 7-9 minutes.

TLDR; Scammer/creep is using a woman's photos, possibly stolen from a webcam hack, and her social media links to privately message people.

People were getting private messages with a few links and a picture from someone claiming to be Nicole the Fediverse Chick.

Of course this becomes a meme and spreads as people talk about it.

It gets weird because there's multiple different pictures. 1 or 2 stolen pic online, that's expected for these types of scam. But there's a whole collection of them out there. Its suspected to be pulled from a live stream or a hacked webcam.

Like usual, the chance that the woman in the picture is actually Nicole sending messages is pretty low. Having her image and links shared to randos online makes an easy target for a lot of people to harass her.

.world admins are saying no more. All references to "Nicole" will be purged.

Anime as the west knows it primarily comes from Japan, not China.

*there are animated shows that come from China, but if there's a popular anime with blood its probably Japan.

Minecraft -> Bobbing off. That shit gives me motion sickness

China is just going triple the price of everything and blame the tariffs for it.

Your Jedi mind tricks can't fool me!

There's variations to bugs on a log?? I always hated when my uncle fed us that.

Agreed, news needs to be held to a higher standard than it is now. There's a whole list of journalist code of ethics that basically distils to be truthful, minimize harm, be independent, and be accountable.

*some example of minimize harm;

• don't dig through a celebrities trash looking for condoms
• if there's an accident you don't show pictures of the dismembered victims
• don't identify victims of abuse
• don't claim an accusation as fact until proven (this why every news stations says "allegedly" all the time)

I hate those arbitrary cut offs for aid. Oops, you got a raise and now make $28,100 sorry no more medicare. It locks people into low paying jobs because if they make too much, they instantly loose all the benefits that their little raise doesn't match.

if we're not going to do free-for-all, it should at least be on a very large scale,

make less then 28k = 100% covered,

29, 99% covered

30, 98% covered

...

All the way up to when 128k = 0% covered

(You'd have fix healthcare prices too, procedures/medicines are priced so insurance looks like they are doing you a favor "you only had to pay $700 for this $25,000 procedure and the $600 follow up medicine will only cost you $100 a week")

100% agree. Should be opt-in per email.

I assume its more of it subscribes to your newsletter same as a user would, so when you send out the newsletter to "group 1", the google thing is also on that mailing list.

And yes, should absolutely be opt-in, per mailing list, per email.

So this is another headline designed to get a kneejerk reaction outta people.

Basically if I'm a store that sends out a weekly email to subscribers, Google will "read" that email for SEO purposes.

If your on Android;

Amdroid is the best alarm app I'm aware of. (Called "Alarm clock for heavy sleepers" on play store)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amdroidalarmclock.amdroid

(Best few bucks Ive spent on an app, ad version just has ads in ui, nothing crazy) It has a feature where 5 min after you dismiss the alarm, it'll send a notification asking if your awake. If you don't respond after a while, the alarm goes again. (Times adjustable)

Sorry I've typed more than intended too, I'll put most under a spoiler so its not a wall of text....

You take that 10k you were going to drop on a crap used car, use that as down payment on a new car. Get a longer loan with lower interest and keep monthly payment lower. The larger the down payment, the lower the monthly will be, and now you have 10 years to set aside money for the next new car or "out of warranty" repairs.

There are still new cars that have a sticker less than 30k, after warranties and any desired upgrades, probably closer to 35k-40k for anything not a truck, EV, or sport car.

There's also people who lease, they pay lots of money to rent a car for around 3 year, after that they trade in for a new car and the old car gets sold as used.

You can do school loans if you start paying bigger. Not sure what your debt is or how large your financial cushion needs to be, but if extra cash is sitting in checking not earning interest, its loosing value while your student loan interest keeps ticking up.

For me after setting aside money for savings, I kept what I needed + plus a small amount for whatever and the rest got dumped into loans, had that shit payed off in a few years. Think my total interest payed was around 3k, I know some people basically end up doubling their debt over the 10 years with some crazy interest rates. (Went to state school, so loans were about 50k for everything, I know some private schools are triple that)

(Also open a saving account or something, your checking account shouldn't have access to all your funds in the event of debit card theft, especially if you use that online)
