> The trick is in the subject line, not the email
>
> When most people think "phishing email," they picture sketchy senders, broken English, and links to weird domains. This scam is the opposite. The email passes every authenticity check — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, all green. It comes from PayPal's actual mail servers. The fonts are right. The footer is right. The unsubscribe link works. If you forwarded it to a security expert and asked "is this really from PayPal?" they'd have to say yes.
>
> So how is it a scam?
>
> Scammers have figured out that PayPal lets anyone send small amounts of money to anyone else, and that PayPal will dutifully email the recipient a notification. The scammer sends you a payout of, say, one Hungarian forint — about a quarter of a cent. PayPal's system then automatically generates and sends you a real, legitimate, fully-authenticated email confirming the transaction.
>
> Here's the catch: the email's subject line is whatever the scammer typed when they set up the payout. PayPal doesn't sanitize it. So they write something terrifying like "Pending charge of USD 987.90 — call this number with questions" and PayPal's servers cheerfully deliver that subject line straight to your inbox, wrapped in a perfectly legitimate-looking notification.
>
> The actual transaction in the email body is for 1 forint. There is no $987.90 charge. There never was. But by the time most people read carefully enough to notice that, they've already dialed the number.

> Men aren’t lonely enough or they’d act better
there is no virtue is pain
there is no value or elevation in misery. nothing clarifying, nothing edifying, nothing distinguishing in a way one could pick out as superior
but most things worth doing, you’d better be prepared to suffer for. most of what has to be done requires risk or guarantee of ache, loss, and worse

Christians, start worrying about **opposing what other people calling themselves Christians are doing** rather than trying to convince us those people don't know Christ or don’t represent you.
We will know your tree by its fruit, and all that.
some people see polling results and are skeptical because they think the sample size is too small or *they've* never been polled before, so who are these research firms even talking to?
we are skeptical of polling because we answer every one that comes our way and just reply with bullshit but plausible-seeming answers
HAVANA (AP) — Cuba’s debilitated health care system has been pushed to the brink of collapse by the U.S. blockading the country’s oil supply, a Cuban official said Friday.
...
In an interview with The Associated Press, Cuba’s Health Minister José Ángel Portal Miranda said that U.S. sanctions are no longer just crippling the island’s economy, they’re threatening “basic human safety.”
“You cannot damage a state’s economy without affecting its inhabitants,” Portal said. “This situation could put lives at risk.”
According to Portal, 5 million people in Cuba living with chronic illnesses will see their medications or treatments affected. This includes 16,000 cancer patients requiring radiotherapy and another 12,400 undergoing chemotherapy.
If you are a leftist, a liberal, or even someone who likes to conceive of themselves as "a centrist", remember that you absolutely do not have to waste one of your limited number of fucks-to-give on protecting the free speech rights of any bigoted stochastic terrorists but particularly the neo-Nazi sort.
They have plenty of funds and friends who actually agree with them.
If you want to play "devil's advocate", go support someone who doesn't have petro-billionaire friends.
Because this is not a game or abstraction; the consequences of putting your energy toward such people are absolutely deadly.
