I had an indian coworker who got stung for about $3500 bucks after a scammer called them up and said the police were outside and would arrest them if they didn't pay owed back taxes. She didn't even realize it was a scam as she was telling us this story a week later about how "she narrowly avoided being arrested".

Like, do you think Revenue Canada has the police commissioner on the other line, and if you don't pay they're gonna switch over and tell the cops to SWARM, SWARM! "Steady, men! Just waiting on word from Bev in accounting if we can prosecute."

Do you even tell them at that point?

Imagine for a moment, that two cars, going basically the speed limit are driving abreast, in the only two lanes, for miles


Are they breaking the law?

No, of course not.

Do they deserve to have some rear end in a top hat try to murder them?

Of course not, no one would claim that.

Peterson's kinda hot daughter just released an extremely strange press release style blog video about how bad Jordie is doing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTwEFa5NW2k

quote:

Hi everyone, it’s been months since we’ve given an update on Jordan and my family’s health and it’s time for one so here goes.

The last year has been extremely difficult for our family. Dad was put on a low dose of a benzodiazepine a few years ago for anxiety following
an extremely severe autoimmune reaction to food. He took the medication as prescribed. Last April when my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer, the dose of the medication was increased. It became apparent that he was suffering from both a physical dependency and a paradoxical reaction to the medication. A paradoxical reaction means the drugs do the opposite of what they’re supposed to. These reactions are rare but are not unheard of.

For the last 8 months he’s been in unbearable discomfort from this drug, made worse when trying to remove it, because of the addition of withdrawal symptoms, stemming from physical dependence. He experienced terrible akathisia, which is a condition where the person feels an incredible, endless, irresistible restlessness, bordering on
panic, and an inability to sit still. The reaction made him suicidal.
After several failed treatment attempts in North American hospitals, including attempts at tapering and micro-tapering, we had to seek an emergency medical benzodiazepine detox, which we were only able to find in Russia. It was incredibly gruelling, and was further complicated by severe pneumonia which we’ve been told he developed in one of the previous hospitals. He’s had to spend 4 weeks in the ICU in terrible shape, but, with
the help of some extremely competent and courageous doctors, he survived. The decision to bring him to Russia was made in extreme desperation, when we couldn’t find any better option. The uncertainty around his recovery has been one of the most difficult and scary experiences we’ve ever had.

So: Finally Dad is on the mend, even though there’s a lot of physiological damage that he needs to recover from. He’s improving, and is off the horrible medication. His sense of humour is back. He’s smiling again for the first time in months, but he still has a long way to go to recover fully.
It appears that we are going to get through this by the skin of our teeth.

So let me make a couple of things clear:

1. Neither our family nor the doctors here believe that this is a case of
psychological addiction.
2. Benzodiazepine physical dependence due to brain changes can occur in a matter of weeks. It can be made even worse by paradoxical reactions that are difficult to diagnose, and can be extremely dangerous.
3. We’ve been told and hope that Dad will recover fully but it will take time and he still has a ways to go.
4. We are extremely lucky and grateful that he’s alive.

The next update will come from him directly. Thanks again for all the support.

Maybe this is schadenfreude, I dunno:

When Words With Friends first came out, on the first iPad, I jailbroke my iPad and figured out that the dictionary was client-side, and I could modify it.


So I start playing words like HGHDTXA, just whatever I had sitting in my deck. Some rage ensued.

I think I played about two games like this, then considered the Words With Friends "beaten" and never played again.

gently caress you. She stayed married after he killed his first victim and through all of his prior complaints and shootings. There's no reason to give her the benefit of the doubt that she's only now realizing he's a racist, violent prick.

The only reason she's divorcing him is to try to mitigate the abuse she'll receive from being married to him. I'd also think it's a ploy to avoid any liabilities from the civil suits that will definitely be filed against her husband.

Not enough information here to make that call. She might have been beaten within an inch of her life on the reg.


So gently caress off. She didn't murder anyone, and she's not supporting a murderer, she kicked his rear end to the curb.
