Yeah the relatively peaceful post ww2 conditions enjoyed in the power blocs were totally because of strong institutions of international law and not the result of stability enforced by threat of global atomic holocaust. Plus that period definitely wasn't ripe with nonstop postcolonial genocide everywhere in the southern hemisphere. Teh Grauniad is just adorable.

Wow I wish I had had that much imagination. I got handed $2 cash every morning for the $2 school lunch, but there was a vending machine that sold little debbie cakes for $0.50 so I spent my high school years with chronic hypoglycemia and steady $1.50/day income.

Eric the Mauve posted:The radio stations played that song like twice an hour for four straight months in 2004 or whatever it was. It's not really a terrible song, pretty bland and boring really, but hearing it 15 times a day at work filled me with a raging desire to murder everyone who had anything to do with its production with a barbecue fork that still lingers to this day as deep loathing. 100% this. I don't understand how it happened because that wasn't even a #1 single at any point but there was a window in 2004 where that bland rear end song was more inescapable than Uptown Funk or Hotline Bling or Thriller

This guy had just come from an all day children's charity dental workshop on Ft.

peanut posted:My mom's card info was stolen... the bank called her about a suspicious ATM withdrawal. How the heck are they making fake cards that work in ATMs? What does the IC chip do anyway? There was just a secret service alert about this today, someone's intercepting brand new cards in the mail to the user, then stealing the chip and switching it for a fake one. Real chip goes into generic fake card, real card with now fake chip goes to you, and they siphon all your cash as soon as you activate the card. Sounded like they think it's an inside job at the post office

1121 is a reasonable amount for a gas station transaction that won't look suspicious AND really easy to remember and punch into a keypad quickly and with minimal hand motion. Dollars to donuts they're using that exact amount for every fraudulent transaction and if their CC processor looks at the records it'll be super obvious. why not 1111? Because it looks weird on a statement and it's too easy to miscount and punch up 111.11 and give away the game shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Jun 28, 2018 |
