ITT the mainstream media discovers drop shipping scams. 

Sometimes it's easy to forget that most people who use the internet and social media are naive as hell.

Amusingly that's a chart that passes the "radicalization" smell tests for those platforms. I would have ranked them about the same myself.

The one I might have screwed up was Truth Social, but that has to be boomers and boomers are inherently non-radical even when they're storming the Capitol. (They were trying to save the status quo.)

The "libel" in the original community note is the accurate statement that he ran a MLM scheme.

I want to dunk on this, but find myself paralyzed by the sheer volume of different angles available here.

A story from North North America....

The Nissan GT-R driver, who identified himself as a YouTube influencer, never saw the unmarked police car, and he was surprised that his radar detector stayed silent, said Corporal Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol. The driver did not realize that in the hands of a skilled police officer, a laser reader will not be picked up by a detector until it’s too late.

Anyone know which YT channel this dude has? They don't name him.

The driver was issued an excessive speed ticket for $368 under section 148(1) of the BC Motor Vehicle Act. The excessive ticket comes with an automatic seven-day impound.

The GT-R driver and his passenger were polite throughout the traffic stop, and they accepted an offer from the BC Highway Patrol officer to drop them off at a nearby Tim Hortons to await a ride from his mother.

Back in my day we didn't run to our parents when we got in trouble, we hopped they never found out. This adult child still needs to call mommy for help. He probaly CAN'T call one of his friends to help because they are just as helpless.

How is Meta worth over a trillion dollars lol?

I logged into Facebook and the only activity on my feed was from a marketing page for a 15 year old Nolan movie getting hijacked to post clickbait all day.

I have no idea what images are floating around concerning our friend uh..."raws" here, but I always love when people in situations describe whatever porn as "deeply personal".

Like they're talking about pictures of hugs with gamgam who passed tragically.

[Besticus Maximus]

If porn of me ever hits the internet I want everyone to know how rad I was

[Polident]

Fortunately there isn't a Vine for smut, so I have nothing to worry about.
