They knew how to spot the scammers and kept taking their money. 16 billion worth

Off of the most scammiest of scam advertisements on their site. I don't mean all the other ones that are probably scams but the ones that are so obviously scams that they had been flagged hundreds of times as scams.

Some internal documents leaked where Facebook employees were talking about how they needed the extra cash to fund all the stupid AI bullshit they were doing.

The government should obviously be stepping in and investigating and regulating. It's one thing to get duped into running a scam ad it's another thing to know that you're running 16 billion dollars worth of the worst and most obvious criminals advertisements.

But fuck me laws don't matter anymore. Keep an eye on your grandparents people or your parents if your old like me. It's open season on them.

Diligence my ass. They won't do that because means testing helps dismantle programs and because they get off on hungry children.

I mean, if those 14 year old girls aren't poor and hungry then they're not going to be as impressed when a republican picks them Up in their beat up Camaro and they're not going to put out.

You're going to do a 60 minute commute one way and you're just now noticing the bridge you're stuck under is crumbling because we haven't built infrastructure in 30 years.

It's almost as if giving all of our money to the rich because we were busy being distracted by moral panics was a bad idea.

The funny thing is when I say moral panic everybody agrees with me but if I mention the specific moral panics that caused you to give all your money to the rich then everybody gets upset.

Part of me wonders if Disney is still somehow nervous about the old deals forbidding toy deals around Spaceballs.

As far as I know they no longer apply and Disney can do whatever they want but when it comes to weird edge cases companies can get weird.

Or you just say excuse me and squeeze past the people at check-out. Why would I explain myself to a cashier?

If they think I did something wrong it's up to them to talk to me and prove it. In the US it may be different... You lot realky adopted guilty until you prove yoir innocence but I don't live like that.

The method we use to calculate unemployment stats was explicitly designed to hide the real unemployment.

Unemployment is going to be closer to about 8 and 1/2 to 10%. That's the underemployed and people who gave up on looking.

It also doesn't include people who don't are elderly and would be working if they could get jobs but who are basically unemployable and a doctor wrote a disability script for them so they could get enough benefits to not die in the streets. That's a dirty little secret of our economy we don't like to think about let alone talk about.

But a better statistic is 2 and 5. That's the number of quality jobs. There are two quality jobs, defined is a job that can support a adult and isn't paycheck the paycheck, for every five Americans. Basically the majority of jobs cannot support an adult.

We are rapidly becoming a failed state. A third world country if you will. It's why we keep doing stupid crap like electing a game show host with a history of sexual abuse. People under a lot of pressure don't make good decisions. That's a TV trope but the real world that's not how it works

Honestly the issue with the story is Ken Paxton, he literally has negative credibility. I know virtually nothing about Roblox or this case, but if Paxton is the first AG to pursue it my automatic assumption is he's prosecuting them because they either failed to give him a bribe or he thought they were helping Democrats register to vote or something.

No you didn't.

Yeah I don't give a shit if they claim this isn't a problem because it unlocks when the fire alarm goes off screw that noise. This is a little bit of improper maintenance away from being a death trap.

I want to say I wouldn't shop there but I know damn well that with all the monopolies around nasty shit like this will spread everywhere and most places only have two or three grocery chains.

I want to take away the power corporations have to do this and I want to take away their power to starve people so that people aren't feeling the need to shoplift groceries.

As for shoplifting booze since a fuck wad like you is bound to bring it up, people over the age of 21 don't steal booze for the hell of it they're using alcohol to cope with the misery of modern Life. And kids do it here and there and that's nothing more than a youthful indiscretion. Alcohol is cheap and ultra high profit and don't be an idiot if you think corporations will cut prices because shoplifting goes down you don't know the first thing about supply and demand.

What happened to you to make you so mean spirited and angry that you would revel at the thought of people getting punished for stealing food or a little bit of booze to cope with life? Did your dad beat you or something? I get it that sucks but don't take it out on the rest of the world. Be better than your dad or whoever the fuck did this to you. End generational trauma.

No he meant unhoused. And what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you really think you're going anywhere but hell with an attitude like that?

On the other hand Trump said he's not going to heaven so maybe you just want to go to the same place Trump's going...

MASTER BLASTER rules UNDERTOWN!

There are at least some situations where this could be valid medically. However, they would generally involve cases of organ failure requiring some form of dialysis like kidney failure or liver failure so the point would be to remove blood products from the patient containing the toxins that the liver or kidneys would normally remove from the blood and replacing them with clean versions. In that case, you're basically using other human beings as a dialysis machine, just in installments. Of course, for it to be useful, you would need to have a lot of donors who donate very frequently and you would need to do a very large number of exchanges. Otherwise, you could use a single donor in something like a traditional dialysis setting and pump blood out of the patient and the donor, run them through separate filtration and centrifuge processes, producing different sets of blood components, then put some of them, like red and white blood cells, back into the person they originally came from after mixing with other products, like plasma coming from the other person. That way you could use the kidney and/or liver from another human being as a replacement for a non-functional organ in another human being. In some ways, I expect it would work better than traditional dialysis machines in some ways because natural organs are self-regulating and require less guesswork and estimation than dialysis machines to achieve homeostasis and also because they remove more things and do it better. Of course, they still could not replace functions like producing bile (since it would not travel to the patient through blood), or regulating blood cell production as the kidneys do since the kidneys regulate that based on how many red blood cells there are so hormone production would be based on the high levels in the donor's blood rather than the low levels in the patient. Of course, I suppose there still would be more red cell generating hormones in the donor's blood anyway, so that should cross over and stimulate red cell production a little in the patient. Also, you could reduce the red blood cells returned to the donor during the session to match the patient and, over a long enough session, the donor kidneys would produce more hormones... In other ways of course, replacing it would probably represent an unacceptable risk of immune reactions in both patient and donor, even with separating the blood into components and only transferring some of them.

So, there is a situation where you could use another human (preferably a young, healthy one) as essentially a piece of medical equipment, but it would probably mostly be better just to use the actual piece of technology if available since the pros come with some potentially serious cons. As far as rejuvenation goes... There have been studies in mice that do show an effect from blood from younger mice into older mice. Of course, though I don't recall all the specifics, chances are that those mice were very closely genetically related (as in the product of multiple generations of mice born to cousin-siblings) if not outright clones. Plus, of course, they are mice which, among other things, have very short lifespans as well as not necessarily having analogues in humans to their biological reactions. Ultimately, there may be health benefits (along with some risks), but any effect is likely small. There is definitely no vampiric fountain of youth here.

To take food out of the mouths of hungry kids. They couldn't possibly give less of a fuck about children. I mean except for like they did in the Epstein files but I don't think that's what anyone means here...

The only question is which ulterior motive is the most prevalent. On the one hand this is red meat for voters so that they can offer them something other than a functioning economy. On the other hand they are trying to eliminate anonymity on the internet so they can relentlessly punish anyone who says anything they don't like while also pretending they are persecuted.

Whatever the result it won't help children but it will hurt you and me.
