One tip - VirWox.com is still the best & easiest way to buy bitcoins with a debit/credit card. Buy, SLL and then convert SLL to bitcoins -> send the bitcoins to your wallet, where-ever it might be It took me much fucking around with redphones in strange places in public transferring money here to there to there paying with cash etc - before I figured the VirWox out. The only other thing besides DMT that I bought off the markets was 10grams of phenobarbital. I don't like living without knowing I don't have a relaxing / easy way out and with capitalism fucking the entire planet over I'm fairly happy that I have that option, lol!

Funny story, out of my own stupidity I made my WIFI vulnerable and somebody used my connection without my knowledge to download some obscure swedish war movie. A few weeks later I get mail from a bunch of lawyers and ended up paying 300 bucks for that shit.
You want my WIFI password? No, but if it's a real emergency you could use my computer while I watch.
Not an emergency? You can always go home if you're bored by me.

There's a reason that shit is password protected. I'll lend you ten bucks but I won't tell you my credit card's PIN. I'll give you a lift but I won't give you my car.

My adult self is impressed with the animation.

My inner 6-year-old is screaming "WANT WANT WANT! It must be mine!!!!". Unfortunately, he has access to my credit card (edit: holy fuck... it's FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS?!? Inner 6 year old will have to wait)

That really is a *quality set, it's just missing one crucial element.... the canteen.

So--and I'm not a lawyer---how was this not identify fraud? Opening accounts and credit cards? And isn't that a criminal act?

So not only you have to hide your drugs in the car you have to also hide your pre-paid credit card.

Sick very sick.

Um, I don't think so.

The credit card companies or the hospitals or whoever the original lenders were had already sold the debt at pennies on the dollar, long before it was resold to Oliver. They had already taken the loss and no debt collection company was going to change the amount of their actual losses. The debt collection agency pockets the profit -- the difference between what they paid for it and what they actually collected.

The only thing the government isn't getting is income tax on the forgiven debt. (If your debt is forgiven, that is taxable income in a lot of cases.)

I hear you brother. I saw the trailers and was massively underwhelmed. But then I read this. and this

And watched this.

Suddenly, I find a Doom shaped hole in my credit card bill. Damn you steam!!

They didn't put the skimmer on to skim their own credit cards.

I always find myself passively inspecting devices I put my card through for this kind of thing. I didn't realize they could be so undetectable, or so it would seem.

I stick to people who believe in America.

Voodoo the fetus that got away from the abortionist.

Bernie Sanders, The Bum Who Wants Your Money


2016: Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said Monday his parents would never have thought their son would end up in the Senate and running for president. No kidding. He was a ne’er-do-well into his late 30s.

“It’s certainly something that I don’t think they ever believed would’ve happened,” the unabashed socialist remarked during CNN’s Democratic town hall forum, as polls show him taking the lead in Iowa and New Hampshire.


He explained his family couldn’t imagine his “success,” because “my brother and I and Mom and Dad grew up in a three-and-a-half-room rent-controlled apartment in Brooklyn, and we never had a whole lot of money.”

It wasn’t as bad as he says. His family managed to send him to the University of Chicago. Despite a prestigious degree, however, Sanders failed to earn a living, even as an adult. It took him 40 years to collect his first steady paycheck — and it was a government check.


“I never had any money my entire life,” Sanders told Vermont public TV in 1985, after settling into his first real job as mayor of Burlington.

Sanders spent most of his life as an angry radical and agitator who never accomplished much of anything. And yet now he thinks he deserves the power to run your life and your finances — “We will raise taxes;” he confirmed Monday, “yes, we will.”

One of his first jobs was registering people for food stamps, and it was all downhill from there.

Sanders took his first bride to live in a maple sugar shack with a dirt floor, and she soon left him. Penniless, he went on unemployment. Then he had a child out of wedlock. Desperate, he tried carpentry but could barely sink a nail. “He was a shi**y carpenter,” a friend told Politico Magazine. “His carpentry was not going to support him, and didn’t.”

Then he tried his hand freelancing for leftist rags, writing about “masturbation and rape” and other crudities for $50 a story. He drove around in a rusted-out, Bondo-covered VW bug with no working windshield wipers. Friends said he was “always poor” and his “electricity was turned off a lot.” They described him as a slob who kept a messy apartment — and this is what his friends had to say about him.

The only thing he was good at was talking … non-stop … about socialism and how the rich were ripping everybody off. “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed,” the bitter layabout said. “I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”

So he tried politics, starting his own socialist party. Four times he ran for Vermont public office, and four times he lost — badly. He never attracted more than single-digit support — even in the People’s Republic of Vermont. In his 1971 bid for U.S. Senate, the local press said the 30-year-old “Sanders describes himself as a carpenter who has worked with ‘disturbed children.’ ” In other words, a real winner.

He finally wormed his way into the Senate in 2006, where he still ranks as one of the poorest members of Congress. Save for a municipal pension, Sanders lists no assets in his name. All the assets provided in his financial disclosure form are his second wife’s. He does, however, have as much as $65,000 in credit-card debt.

Heh, I made a similar argument years ago to a friend of mine but I wasn't so harsh on the common people.

I don't think it is so much that people are sheep as it is the fact that the system is designed to keep people as preoccupied as possible with their own survival so that they simply can't afford to be truly political activists.

Think about it--in the U.S. you can be legally fired from your job, for example, for expressing political opinions your boss disagrees with. It isn't a freedom of speech issue because freedom of speech only prevents the government from censoring your speech--not private business. Hell, it doesn't even have to be a political opinion. When someone wears an ostensibly "offensive" Halloween outfit and pictures of it show up on the Internet, they can be fired without having any kind of recourse.

Now you add on top of that how the middle class has been eroded away. A lot of families need dual incomes just to survive. That means you also need to pay for childcare if you have kids. Prices have increased but wages haven't kept pace. Now add debts on top of all this, whether it be from college loans, credit cards, car payments, mortgages, or whatever.

What you get from all this is a society where, as bad as things are in Washington, it's not bad enough for people to risk their already precarious circumstances by boycotting work to attend protests or engaging in some other form of extreme activism that would probably be required to effect real changes. A lot of people are one bad circumstance away from, if not bankruptcy, then at least a drastic lifestyle shift where they'll lose most of their personal belongings and possibly dreams (like having their kids go to college).

So things plod along pretty much the way they always have, with those in power continuing to consolidate that power and see how far they can push it. Barring college students with pretty much nothing to lose (they have both the free time and probably economic freedom to protest and engage in political activism), the best most people can do is gripe about things on the Internet.

I didn't listen to the video, I just read the comments. I guessed what the video would say, and the comments 100% supported my intuition.

I'm a "second wave feminist." And guess what? There were plenty of "man hating" women back then, just as radical and separatist and angry as these presumed "third wavers."

And we were pretty angry back then. I was one of the angry ones. Until I understood that everyone suffers under the patriarchy. And until I understood that I had to go thru the mad phase so I could change my thinking. It was a growth process, not unlike being a angry teenage.

And then you grow up.

I find it pretty damn funny that literally nothing has changed in 40 years. I heard these same arguments back then.

It's all good. It is better now. Women have much more freedom than they used to have. (When I was a teenager, a married woman couldn't get her own credit card. Everything was in her husband's name. How fucked up is that?)

And there is work to do, including work that men need to do to break free of the crap that the patriarchy traps them with. Nobody can do it for them, though. It is their work.

Please don't lecture me about not watching the video. I know I "should." But I have 40 years of this crap. I don't need any more.

there many forms of enslavement,to wit most people are wholly unaware,either unwittingly or unwillingly.

"none are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free" van goethe.

consider this my friends:
if you accept currency for your labors,where you toil for anothers financial gain.you are literally renting yourself.trading your time,creativity and labors for coin.you are a wage slave and a hundred years ago our ancestors were very aware of this and found it detestable.they literally saw it as a form of slavery.

now as @Lawdeedaw pointed out,there are some protections put forth by our government,along with other governments,but those were not just handed out.they had to be fought for,and many died for those protections.by whom? wage slaves,but in those days they KNEW thats what they were,and proceeded from that premise.

the philosophy of the matrix even addressed this very idea of slavery (yep,i went there).that the majority of the people had become so entrenched and immersed in the system,that to even question the system would illicit a violent and defensive response.they would fight to remain in the system.

just look at our friend @Barbar 's reaction.
even the term "slave" was enough for a visceral reaction.

i am reminded of a doug stanhope routine in where he states " at least i KNOW i am a slave,YOU,however..remain clueless".

so let us take the term "slave" off the table and instead use the dynamic of "power vs powerlessness".

the current systems of power have the majority of people running on hamster wheel of desperation.may it be "pay check to paycheck" or "mortgage and credit cards" or the subtle doctrine of "conform and obey".this could also be "all of the above".

the real question is this:
do you consider yourself free?
because a comfortable slave.....is still a slave.
the term may be dramatic,but it is accurate.

Even here in Canada both UPS and Purolator have "No signature needed" levels of service where it just gets left at your door.

If you look at your next Purolator "sorry we missed you" stickynote, you'll see where to pick it up, whether they'll try again, and if you like, they'll just leave it if you call them up.

I've personally run off someone trying to grab a package off my neighbour's doorstep. Turns out it was a laptop sent to my neighbour fraudulently. Fraudulently in that the guy trying to grab it used someone elses's credit card to buy it, had it shipped to my neighbour's address, then waited around for the courier. It just so happened I was coming home at exactly that time.

Obama says, “The real scandal around the IRS is that they have been so poorly funded that they cannot go after these folks who are deliberately avoiding tax payments.”

Hm.. but what about the scandal last year in which the IRS was revealed to have paid $2.8 million in bonuses to employees that had been cited in the past year for such virtuous behavior as drug use, making violent threats, fraudulently claiming unemployment benefits, misusing government credit cards and failing to pay their own taxes.

But the President blames the funding? Ok.

I guess he's trying to divert attention away from the new report (PDF) by The Annie E. Casey Foundation (and cited by USA Today) which shows that there are now more children currently living in poverty (22%) than there were during the Great Recession (18%).

@newtboy, get our ur credit card!!!

I love it.
