She should be removed from the bench.

Indeed. I saw that yesterday and thought, "He wasn't?" His Greekness should have been the first hint. iykyk :D

Just like we say about the race card, you cannot play the woke card everywhere.

If they can run a restaurant with a single human hitting the reset button now and then, they're going to. In between hitting the reset button, this person will be mopping. Except not in the toilets.... they will be sealed, and sprayed down every 30 minutes automatically, like the public restrooms I saw in Europe.

They'll even have their delivery drivers making sure to put every box in the appropriate spot, in the back room. The drivers will restock 10 stores per day.
Pretty sure you put this in the wrong thread. We're talking anal sex here between men not robot fast food workers!

New York Magazine financial advice columnist scammed out of $50k by "CIA agent"
Charlotte Cowles, who pens a financial advice column for The Cut, the digital fashion news site that operates under the umbrella of New York Magazine, wrote a first-person account on Thursday titled “The Day I Put $50,000 in a Shoe Box and Handed It to a Stranger: I never thought I was the kind of person to fall for a scam.”
...
When Cowles told the police what happened, a cop informed her that “no government agency will ever ask you for money.”
Her article: https://www.thecut.com/article/amazon-s ... nts.html#/
“I completely understand,” he said calmly. He told me to go to the FTC home page and look up the main phone number. “Now hang up the phone, and I will call you from that number right now.” I did as he said. The FTC number flashed on my screen, and I picked up. “How do I know you’re not just spoofing this?” I asked.

“It’s a government number,” he said, almost indignant. “It cannot be spoofed.” I wasn’t sure if this was true and tried Googling it, but Michael was already onto his next point. He told me the call was being recorded, so I put him on speaker and began recording on my end, too. He wanted to know if I had told anyone what was going on.
If you read the comments, you'll find this from, uh... mr__piss
The whole lead-in about how she's not like the poor, stupid, lonely people she imagines to be easily scammed had a certain je ne sais quoi that I instantly clocked as the mutterings of an effete, inbred child of rich people - and my ability to clock that sort of thing from the get is one of the few things I like about myself. Her husband works for a non-profit, she's 39, but they live in a $4 million dollar house in Prospect Heights? She's related to the Roosevelts? Ivy league is a given, but she feels the need to highlight it on her personal site? A child named Ripley?This whole thing is just another rearranging deck chairs on the titanic of increasingly hubristic, insulated failsons and faildaughters are discovering the otherwise object permanence level of obvious lessons the rest of us understand. You think Amazon will white glove you over to the CIA in a few minutes? Tell me you don't do your taxes without telling me you don't do your taxes. This person is so uncalibrated in their ability to navigate the world that their ability to generalize any intellectual output for anyone other than her similarly 0.1% situated friends is completely shot. Let her go be on the board of a do-nothing charity, this game is up.

That's unintentionally the funniest thing I've read in a while.

Also, mr_piss is spot on.

The worst is people on twitter trying to defend her. Especially the "THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!" people.

The other day I had a call claiming that my social security number has been compromised. I said, " Bet, but I'm wary of scams so let me call you right back.". They hung up as soon as I said scam.

I'm neither rich, nor a Roosevelt, nor ivy League. Mister Piss nailed it.

To be fair to them, they're probably right. People are fucking stupid.

I mean, who wouldn't believe a government agent wants you to make an official payment via cash in a shoebox? That's perfectly logical.

LOL. My wife said "Mark Hamil?" Which, honestly, not too far off visually given how far away my wife saw it from. Her brain got to the right name soon enough.

I feel bad putting him here because he was clearly mentally disturbed, but man dies after immolating himself in front of Israeli embassy.

This doesn't work. Nobody gives a shit. They'll hose off where you were and nobody will even remember what happened in 2 days.

I can only think of one time in history where a public display of suicide actually changed a foreign army's plans.

Tell me without Googling (or Binging or anything else you smart asses) and I'll be impressed.
