Half the time the recovery scammers run the OG scam, then paste the fake site URLs as hashtags on Instagram on their fake support pages for some real ultimate double dip action

someone is posting on reddit that they lost 200k to an investment scam, then 10k to a crypto recovery scam, and now they're asking if anyone can help them recover the 10k

would definitely pin more on (for example) farage endlessly lying in national media about students being able to bring granny, mum etc, or jenrick forever associating students with "deliveroo visas" (i.e., working part time as they're allowed to), or (insert hundreds of other examples here)

my mum cleaned toilets for 30 years and she never once considered popping out to burn down a hotel or drag a black person out of a car

so like why am I supposed to care or even listen to these people? they hate asylum seekers, they hate them regardless of whether a claim is valid or fake, they hate visa holders, they hate everyone. these people need to be dealt with in the harshest of ways available to the law and society generally

all I know is, my wife's been out of work for 2 years because our industry has collapsed and if she got a deliveroo job to get *some* income coming in, she's liable to end up on a right wing twitter account with "illegal worker" all over the photo, risk of injury etc

i have no time at all for people who present, or contribute to, an ever-present danger to my family. i will, however, roll them down a hill at the first visible sign of their aggression. is that enough of a two way dialogue for them do you think

seeing several examples of deliveroo drivers and hotel staff attacked because racists claim they're asylum seekers, then thinking back to the taxi driver who became very aggressive towards my wife because she said she came here on a spouse visa. the UK is simply not safe, and nobody seems to care

in this case? no. they paid for private treatment, and imo we shouldn't blame people for doing things the rules at the time allowed - and allowed overtly, at that. it's a slippery slope to right wingers eventually calling everything they don't like in immigration law a loophole imo

doing some research on my school's teachers from the 90s, and google's god awful AI results cite around a dozen entirely fictional teachers. not a single one of them worked there

also worth noting that the labour together people pushing britcard ignored *every single question* put to them about how any of their claims regarding migrants would work in practice. weird right, you'd think they'd have something to say about it and yet

"maybe the policy might actually achieve what the government wants, and help reduce net migration" the third form of migrant identification since 2015 would help reduce net migration? how does that work? are identity cards like garlic for vampires or something

just read an article about tony blair's britcards and why they'd be good for immigrants proving right to work/rent, and once again feel compelled to point out that until not long ago immigrants literally had a plastic biometric card that did just that till it was switched out for an online system

took miniboyd to a museum and way too many exhibits are behind glass covered with *huge* vapid marketing phrases obscuring the view. "DREAM BIG. LIVE YOUR TRUTH. FOLLOW THE PATH" I would mate but I can't bloody see it

Straczynski expressed the highest regard for Trias and ABC, but he said that he believes
"network paranoia" has led them to use Q5.
"It is a truly insidious organization, I make no bones about it at all. A lot of their research and theories are strictly from voodoo,
Straczynski continued. "I think they reinforce stereotypes--sexist and racist. I think they are not helping television, they are diminishing it."

In addition to Janine's new look, described in notes on one DIC character drawing as
"generally less harsh & "slutty," she will have a warmer, more nurturing relationship with Slimer, a childlike comic character who sometimes dissolves into slime.

The show also will contain less satire and less
subtle, sophisticated verbal humor. "I've written a few shows for this season, and they weren't as much fun as last season," lamented "Real Ghostbusters" writer Michael
Reaves.
As one of numerous examples of this change, the Q5 report notes that some jokes that writers had included about college days and
"no intelligent life in New Jersey" would go over the heads of young children. A phrase such as "create the proper ambiance," the
report suggests, could be phrased more simply: "Make this room look like a little boy's.

A remarkable 1987 article about โ€œQ5โ€, a consultancy that, iโ€™ve now learned, seems singularly responsible for the mass bland-izing of cartoons when i was a kid. I remember the sudden and mysterious Jeanine swap-out in The Real Ghostbusters! this explains so much.

reddit has finally popped a verify your age box - because a starfield thread has the word "cockpit" in the title. it's like someone resurrected the stupidest content filters from the 90s
