Per hour? It's all a blur to me at this point.

War crimes "in honor of Shabbat"? I hope any remaining diaspora members of conscience who haven't already been troubled by all this are hearing about this framing. Both horrific in its malevolence and a misrepresentation of Judaism all in one go!

Thanks for the link. Not a bad distraction! I hope there's a large catalog in case I want to treat it like the random Stumble button of yore (which I must have hit hundreds of times at least).

StumbleUpon was the best. I do miss it.

All I can think is how incredibly shameful it is for this kind of behind-the-scenes bullying to be happening, but the persons responsible apparently must not see shame in it somehow...?

Thanks, that sounds more like what I thought I heard about them before (though I think there's a touch more regulation in Canada, even here I know it's still predatory and should be avoided).

Do payday lenders (like Money Mart or whatever) not charge fees unless someone is late on a payment? I honestly don't know how they work. I was under the impression that similarly, the only way Klarna and the others made money was by late payment fees since whenever they come up in a checkout it always says there are no fees (which I take to mean if payments are on time).

Usually for a poll like this, they would make invitations to targeted respondents and provide them with secure anonymous access when they agree.

It seems like the message is not to ignore them? I'm not familiar with this artist though so I'm not sure why there's no further comment/context about/for the first character's choice...

My first thought was misfolded prions. Sounds like one possible avenue of the potential harmful "environmental exposure" the microbiologist (and CJD researcher) in the article was talking about.

According to the video, the places aren't being built to be attractive to live in but to be cheap upfront investments for landlords (so not just small but crappy layouts and quality overall), and the majority of said landlords are "middle class" (their words) couples rather than large companies.

For hands-off investors, maybe. Directly responsible parties should see jail time though.
