Thread 'Trump cancels rule that would stop data brokers selling social security numbers and other private information'

On orders from the 'Financial Technology Association', an industry organization comprised of fake banks that don't provide deposit insurance cover and AI-related scam startups, Trump's head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Russell Vought, has cancelled a rule that would have cracked down on data brokers from going into effect.

The rule would have explicitly clarified that data brokers, which sell private data for nefarious purposes, have the same...

Meanwhile, the 'click-to-cancel' rule that would have prevented scam companies from signing you up for perpetual monthly charges and making it impossible for you to cancel without multiple hours long phone calls in the middle of the working day has been delayed, presumably in preparation for it to be dropped altogether.

US Thread 'You'll stay stuck in unwanted subscriptions for 2 more months after the FTC delayed its new click-to-cancel rule'

Article (Archive)

It was about to get easier to get rid of that pesky subscription you've been stuck paying for until the Federal Trade Commission delayed enforcement of its new click-to-cancel rule.

Former FTC chair Lina Khan, in a Thursday post on X, said that the enforcement delay will give firms more time "to keep trapping people in subscriptions."

Most consumers are familiar with the unwanted subscription rigamarole: It's painlessly simple to sign up online for a streaming service, gym, or other subscription, but when the time...

I’ve found that I really can’t stand coffee warm if I’m drinking it black.

I know you didn't ask me, but as someone who used to drink a lotta coffee, I found I prefered drinking it at room temperature. Mind you, I rarely drank my coffee black, I always had a little bit of milk in it, for the health of my stomach.
I like my beverages in general to be at room temperature, much to the chagrin of everyone around me.

Josh, do you prefer drinking your coffee hot or cold? I’ve found that I really can’t stand coffee warm if I’m drinking it black. For whatever reason, drinking black coffee cold hits different. I can actually stand to drink it. Especially if it’s actual quality coffee and not the lowest tier shit.

That sounds about right. I drink it hot black, or add milk and let it cool to room temp. That is if I'm not doing a fancy brew that day.

I would never tell the whales not to dono, it's interesting to see them do so in a way that denies them perks elsewhere though. By giving to the GiveSendGo, you're missing out on Locals perks, T&H banner, Rumble's tiered whale icons, Gilded T&H border + front page highlighting, etc. Locals is the highlight, because if you have donated though that channel it would've had a side-benefit of demonstrating Josh's clout to Rumble. I know Locals is a pain in the ass to sign up for though. Is making a GiveSendGo account and shooting money into it that much easier?

I thought josh said if you give via givesendgo you can just show him the receit and he'll give you t&h.

They don't seem to spend an absurd amount on staff and nothing on fundraising like most charities do (the kind that mail address labels).

A quick search doesn't reveal any scandals or other bullshit.

We had a lovely lady named Jamie Walton on the Kiwi Farms about a decade ago who was a volunteer with the Wayne Foundation. Her nonprofit did one of the nicest things I've ever heard: at all hours of the day, she was on call. If the police scooped up a child that was in danger (usually, the victim of child sex trafficking) she would open her home to them. If the police called at 4am, she would get up, drive over to the police station, pick up the child after the police were done, and then keep them until she could place them at another volunteer's house. State law required that the navigator/coordinator and the temporary placement be different people, so for only a few hours to a few days at a time, she was with hundreds of little kids during one of the worst parts of their entire lives. So I tried to find a local version of that.

Well I don't know if this particular charity has people that qualify for sainthood like she clearly does, but it seems like they do good work and on casual glance appear responsible with money. I think its a good choice.
 
Found something mildly interesting. Right around the time he was fired from his job in August, Game Show-obsessed troon-chasing Lolcow Cory Anotado decided to rerelease a story that he wrote in High School as a way to make money in order to pay off the mortgage on his house, but nobody bought the book.

The book itself is only 99 cents on Amazon but I decided to just look at what the sample had to offer. I like how in the intro he admits that the only reason why he rereleased it was to make money and how he tears down his old Conservative Christian upbringing.

And here's the samples to read to see if his writing is any good.
