Not reading article, don’t actually care. American Express can suck it. They put the average person through hell to get $10,000 credit. They should have been more responsible with this person. Unless they can show they did the usually consideration, gradually upping her credit over time with responsible limits, that’s just the risk of doing business.

Ok I caved and read the article. Lady makes bank (or was faking). Why did she need a $600k+ limit? What is she putting on a credit card that would lead to that amount in such a short time? American Express wanted their cut, they got burned.

What? Why would they?

But hunters are specifically trying to call them in to shoot them. This is more like catch and release fishing, you are just making the bird late for something…

? What do you mean? It will be even cheaper to use immigrants now because they will have even fewer protections, and you can always cycle out all the complainers and anyone who takes too long to get anything done.

“Elbows up” is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean “get ready to fight” (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.

I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It’s not elbows up. It’s daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. “Elbows off the table!”

Elbows off the table.

I believe they are referring to Jhaj.

It’s cops talk for "we for some reason can’t name the person you are asking about, but we are investigating a person who exactly matches their description.

Translation: “we wish to look like we are doing our jobs”

Emphasis on START digging. I thought that was a terrible article. All questions, almost no answers.

Woke. Look up the definition. It means being aware, awake, tuned in to reality.

That can be unappealing to many people. Mostly ignorant, lazy, arrogant, selfish people who haven’t had the need to consider the existence of well-being of any other person but themselves and MAYBE their direct family in their entire lives.

Hope that clears things up!

I still do not understand what’s going on with this.

1. What is the end goal? Is he just sexually excited by hiring children to roleplay him being famous, or is the hope (for him. A terrible word obviously) that he will have some opportunity to assault or abuse one of these children?
2. Where is the money from? This question should be what the cops focus on. He or someone is bankroling this bizarre behavior somehow. If what he is doing is illegal (which I also still don’t know if it is??) then shut the money down and jail the people bankroling it.
3. I just really don’t understand

We are going back to pre-internet times. Like we will still have it, but finding the information we need will be impossible in the sea of AI misinformation.

When we were kids we would write down questions to ask teachers or the librarian or even my aunt who was a nurse. That’s how we got alot of our answers. I think we are going there again. I think there will be small alcoves of reality on the internet, but they will be hard to find and then treasured, again like bookmarking snopes.com way back when a Google (or Yahoo?) search wouldn’t necessarily find things unless you worded your question as an answer.

Thank you for your garbage take which lead to some informative discussion below!

How? How does an average American do that? If they want him gone he could be detained and shipped out long before anyone could gather to say “no please if you wouldn’t mind not destroying democracy more than you already have…”

(Note I am not an American, but seeing the state your country is in gives me anxiety by proxy. What would I be able to do if I was one?)

Was it? If only some journalist would … Idk… Do their job…

But that is at least a reason, thank you.

I commented on another post of this that I was lost as well. If it’s a fake wedding, what was the angle? What was to be gained? What was illegal?

No they are not, not officially anyways. There is plenty of crossover, where someone who is officially part of a federal or provincial party will run for mayor, but those parties aren’t involved and they have to step down from those roles to run.

I just didn’t know America’s 2 party system went all the way down to municipal. That’s fuxked.

That was my thought "oh I don’t know… I’m not a new Yorker and have only vague indirect knowledge of Cuomo being shitty… Glances at name

“…I fully support Mowhatever.”

Also I was today years old when I learned New York Mayors are part of a party? What’s that about?

I read the article but I don’t understand the motive. If the wedding wasn’t real, were any laws broken? What were they hoping to achieve by doing this?

Perfect so I’m sure this settlement will affect absolutely nobody it should.

Sorry, maybe I’m mixing them up with some other nightmare of a company, aren’t they out of business? Execs probably already secured all their extra $$$$ and this 2.3 will have to come out of what they get selling the office chairs, and probably before any employees get anything they are entitled to.
