  • Have you ever met an actual dumb person?

  • They aren't dumb. They are intellectually disabled, and maybe of them have areas of superior ability.

    That being said, yes I have; and I've met beaucoup supersmart, intellectually lazy people who were ignorant as a box of rocks.

  • The save thing Kanye West has in common.

    Edit: apparently people think Kanye is an anomaly. Enrique Terri, Nick Fuentes, Clarence Thomas, Candace Owens, just because people have color doesn't make them not supremacists, any less than Nikki Haley, Usha Vance, Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi are male supremacists.

  • Maybe they did and retought it for reasons. And maybe the festival organizers are lying. Hard to say.

  • The Commodore's and Morris Day (which if Purple Rain's depiction of him was accurate, is no surprise) are chef's kiss.

    These are a few who are white Supremacists/adjacent and who worship Mammon.

  • Stripe is friendly to "friendly fraud"

    Jump

  • After quite a bit of back and forth, Stripe’s answer seems to be that it doesn’t really matter beyond my own account.

    They told me they don’t use evidence of chargeback abuse from one merchant to create cross-merchant fraud signals, or to take action against the customer’s card, email, or other details for other merchants.

    You probably don’t want a system where one annoyed merchant can get someone blocked across the whole Stripe payment system. But there’s a pretty big gap between “automatically block this person everywhere” and “thanks for the screenshots, please consider Radar”, and this is where it gets frustrating.

    Stripe sells Radar on the strength of its network: lots of payments, lots of signals, better fraud detection, machine learning, etc. Stripe sees a lot of transactions, so in theory it can spot things that an individual merchant can’t. But when a merchant sends actual evidence that a customer is abusing chargebacks, suddenly it means nothing. The recommended solution is to use Radar rules to block the customer from buying from me again. And I probably have to upgrade and pay Stripe to use this rule anyway. Gee thanks!

  • Why Trump isn’t bothering to hide his corruption

  • Judge dismisses criminal charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported

    Jump

  • “The evidence before this court sadly reflects an abuse of prosecuting power,” U.S. District Judge Waverly Crenshaw, in Nashville, Tenn., said in his ruling granting Abrego Garcia’s motion to dismiss for “selective or vindictive prosecution.” Without Abrego Garcia’s “successful lawsuit challenging his removal to El Salvador, the government would not have brought this prosecution.”
