  • They do, but then a trusted “insider” youtuber or podcaster who they have a years long parasocial relationship with “signs off” on the product and the person says to themselves, “X person has integrity and they are very smart, they wouldn’t put their name on Y unless they did a lot of homework, so I don’t have to.”

    And life is difficult, complicated and overwhelming, so you can’t really blame “normal” folks for putting the same faith they’d put into their tech saavy nephew into these personalities. The influencers should pause though and accept that if they can’t enthusiastically describe the reason a thing is actually legitimate, they should refrain from endorsing it or accept part of the blame for misleading people.

    Fuck PayPal and its related entities and all executives past, present and future. And I guess fuck you too now, Will Ferrell - you cosigned Mel Gibson in whatever the fuck that daddy movie series was and now you’re the face of these people? The “PayPal mafia” (cringe) literally just bought the US election. I know you need to bankroll a lot of family trips to Sweden, but you h ave too much obviously dirty money now, Will. Hard to chuckle at your comedies now, and that’s a bummer.


  • This seems like a great machine to create republican voters, purposefully undereducated and perpetually frightened - the school to joe rogan pipeline

    Arizona State Board for Charter Schools

    Imagine the AMAZING individuals that must make up this group.

    In its Arizona application, Unbound says its bold claims about how much its students will learn are based on the experiment it’s running on students in Texas, inspired by Elon Musk.

  • We all know the logical conclusion here is that elon is going to get the nuclear codes. He’ll then hold the entire world hostage saying…

    “I’m going to do a very cool dance soon. This is a dance that will make everyone want to be BEST friends with me and say, you are the coolest person I know, El-Man! Which is the nickname they’ll give me and I’ll have jackets made that say it. So I’m going to do this dance on television, I’m going to buy all of the networks that there are and air it simultaneously. Now, if I hear anyone laugh at the dance, which is serious and cool, or post something making fun of this dance on social media (which will again be a very cool dance) then I will incinerate the entire world in a thermonuclear holocaust, a world that mostly consists of my own children and ex wives because honey badger don’t care - I’m rick bickh!!!” [Limp starfish jump]




  • Baby product company got away with a slap on the wrist recall for product that was killing kids. Their appointed solution was to announce a convoluted set of instructions on how to permanently destroy part of this device, but you could still go on using the now lesser product, missing a core feature that drove initial purchase. If you agreed and jumped through all the hoops, labeled defaced parts and sent the company photos, you’d receive a measly check for $25 in the mail in several weeks, for a product that was initially over $200.

    Obviously a horseshit, non-repair for the damage they caused and the loss of key functionality in product.

    Long story short, I emailed the CFPB, said “this seems like bullshit”, they said, “yeah, that doesn’t seem great, give me a minute…” The next day, I got a direct phone call from a woman at corporate for that large multinational cooperation who was just tripping over herself to offer me any solution I wanted, up to a full refund of original purchase price, without any further hassle.

    These systems work if you use them. Fucking trump sycophant idiots voting to take existing benefits away from yourselves and the people you love. Godamned failures of life.
