I actually had an especially inept criminal duo come in once when I worked at Borders back in the day with a bag full of blank gift cards they had just lifted from the newly emptied display beside me, asking if they could cash them in. After I ran ten BLANK CARDS through the machine and explained patiently that they…
So, I mean, it goes without saying that it is very bad that Trump is soliciting fraud, and issuing vague threats, in an attempt to essentially stage a coup. But for some reason I can’t really articulate, it somehow makes me angrier that he’s so fucking bad at it. Like, even if Raffensperger (who is a piece of shit…
It isn’t who I am either.
Thank you. Anna may not see any money, but the series will make her famous. It keeps her name in the headlines, and she'll continue to be popular for awhile. It's gross.
Girlfriend goes to police and say guy is building a bomb in RV....cops can’t do anything.
Looks like she has some drawing chops. I see a lot of people downthread taking issue with the distorted proportions/lack of realism/it looks like like it was drawn by a horny high schoolers, but I think that’s missing the point. It’s a sort of Franzetta/comic book/manga style, and seems to be going about it pretty…
I love how a girlfriend’s highly specific and unprompted statement, corroborated by a lawyer who also represented the alleged bomb builder, that the guy was building bombs in an identified location is seen as insufficient for a warrant to search said location, but...
Except she didn’t just con wealthy elites. One of her victims was a journalist who basically lost the equivalent of a year’s wages. But also, even conning wealthy institutions like banks carries consequences not for the rich but for regular people, because it makes banks and other corporations more distrustful, which…
Miley, honey, Harry was on the cover of Vogue. What makes you think he would ever take on your Forever 21 cheap ass, knockoff self?
One of those people was a personal trainer who had to pay a very hefty hotel bill in Morocco that was in the five figures. She put it all on credit cards.
Exactly.
The reality is that there is an element of trickle-down economics that is absolutely true: the losses trickle-down, the benefits never do.
Economically, the quickest way for a business to cover a shortfall (or provide a nice bounce in revenues or profits) is to cut costs, and the quickest cost-cutting measure…
The lines between who “deserves” to get stolen from and who deserves to do the stealing is not one that’s easily drawn, either. Reasonable people can agree that the wealth gap in this country is ridiculous, taxes (instead of handouts) should be levied more appropriately against big corporations, and white collar…
She conned a hotel concierge out of $10's of thousands of dollars. Someone that was NOT rich and put that person in financial dire straights. They were stuck in Morocco or some such nonsense.
An important point there. We’ve kind of developed this sort of ‘Robin Hood’ mythology about conmen - ordinary people using their talent to expropriate the ill-gotten lucre of those too rich and stupid to miss it. And they do do this. But in reality, people who make a profession out of expertly deceiving people -…
She wasn’t just conning wealthy elites. She left many businesses with debts that went unpaid for months/years due to the cons she did.
As far as I’m concerned, the only reason to care about some white American claiming to actually be a white person from some European country is for the entertainment value. And Alec Baldwin’s unhinged rants (what else is new?) notwithstanding, Hilaria has a long way to go before she can match the gold standard of Liz…
Precisely my take. At my most generous, I can conceive of an explanation whereby she mentioned splitting her time between the U.S. and Spain when she was growing up (which could result in all the code-switching stuff mentioned throughout these comments,) and at some point someone misunderstood something about where…
Yeah, it’s kind of hard for me to get hot and bothered about this. It’s kind of telling that people are reacting like pretending to be partially from Spain = pretending to be POC. Like, all she’s doing is aligning herself with a different imperialist oppressor.
