I suspect the answer lies in paragraph 4, where I’m making the assumption that the scammers make contact directly with the buyers, and invite a payment to be made to the scammers rather than the brokers.
I suppose in a strictly legal sense, the brokers are off the hook then as they’ve no idea the scammers have asked the buyers to send a payment.
It’s scummy as fuck all round.
Man I miss Eudora back in the day. I used the mail client in SeaMonkey before I just started using my phone to check mail.
The 90s and 2000s were a simpler time.
I’m just freestyling here and I’m sure someone with a professional experience or academic background in psychology can tear it up for arsepaper, but I wonder if it’s an innate fear?
Like the uncanny valley with autonomous human-style robots or how AI generated pictures of faces are sending primitive recognition patterns haywire, I wonder if covering up half of the visual cues to recognise someone as friend or foe provokes an in-built negative reaction?
I mean, it’s not rational, but then chucklefucks who complain about it don’t do rational even if it’s in their interest.

Andrex is much cheaper, if admittedly a little less satisfying.

Banging idea, love this.
Only changes I would make is changing out the SOS for a five-second long-press, and changing reset to a ten-tap - to make sure people aren’t just fucking about turning it on and off.
This is how you get shot for the silliest of reasons.
Unless it’s the initial outreach team or on-premises staff, sales would be one of the few roles totally suited to remote working.
Some of the more creative or collaborative roles I can see the argument for hybrid working - even if it’s just one day a week or month in the office - but sales, customer service, or first line support seems to be the last area you’d impose a return to work mandate on.
That said, I haven’t got extortionate office rents to justify 😂
I find it quite handy - it’s a bit excessive on nearly every post, but it does add context when I don’t recognise the news source, and it’s useful to see whether I really need to do some more digging on the article rather than should look for other views on a story.
It’s frustrating to see a comment or two on a post preview pane you’re interested in though and boom, it’s a bot rather than another user to engage with.
It would work really well as a plug in or tool, giving you inline information in the post itself.
Hey I recognise that part of the song!
I thought Gun Jesus was trying to pivot to other streaming platform for his main content, and YouTube was just a bit of extra exposure while it lasts?
I haven’t been keeping up with it so I may be 12 months behind the curve.
I dunno man. I quite enjoy watching documentaries on how the bangbang sticks go bang, and how engineers overcame technical challenges.
I’m not a huge fan of Gravy Seals videos of people doing weird cover to cover movement and blatting off rounds at targets, but each to their own.
I guess I think there’s bigger problems faced by YouTube and this should be pretty far down the list.
I am also reliably told that the removal of a bra - particularly a tight one - at the end of a working day is almost as wonderful as the feeling of taking your socks off when you get home.
Bliss.
Unfortunately, this would be gender and/or location dependent. Great advice for daylight hours, but the society we currently live in makes it perhaps less viable for women in certain areas or countries, or even in general if it’s a particularly socially deprived area.
Absolutely on board with the exercise thing though. I’ve taken to trying to waste time on an exercise bike - even an inexpensive one, or a normal bike mounted on a turbo trainer. I’m not expecting anyone to bang in speeds and times like Lance Armstrong on some special supplements, but a slow spin for longer periods of time is great fun… just get a good wide comfortable saddle!
I encountered Quishing the other day - the inadvertent scanning of QR codes that take a browser to a malformed URL or site with malware embedded.
Back in my day, it was just called “being a bit dense”, especially as most cameras/QR readers will offer you a prompt to go to a website first.
That last line made me change to Ray Parker Jr style funk.
quality burn
Though I would still like to go. That architecture looks fantastic.
