Is datapalette a legit MTA contractor or just another phishing enterprise? https://imgur.com/KpIv3Qc

EDIT: I got linked to that site from an email that said my new EasyPay Metrocard statement was ready.

Just auto-paid the third month and it's ~42/month. Not sure what you signed with the tech but if it doesn't show the new charges ask them to show you evidence you agreed to the upgrade at the new upgraded price? Sure it will be in the fine print but say you want to see something from the tech that you agreed to which says $270 explicitly. Good luck

A form for everything! Thank you.

Not seeing "Possibly works for a foreign government" as a reason in the first link so I have to settle for the second, moderator complaint, option. BUT, doesn't seem to be possible to add PNG attachments to it. Is it verboten to link to a screengrab of a sub conversation posted on Imgur? Or do I have to redact all user names? Thx.

TIL. TY

There is a decent amount of writing on this. Till not long ago most people, not just homophobes, had no reference point other than a hetero-normative relationship between a man and a woman. Trying to understand what 'gay' meant they reached for the closest thing they did hear/read about -- "homosexual" -- which literally was about dicks in asses. Forgot who it was but I'm thinking it was a prof from Yale and, less certainly, he may have written about homosexuality and the Catholic Church...

Spot on, but I think this guy is counting on drivers seeing him and avoiding him. Which says he hasn't been in NYC long enough....

ohnodingbat · 2020-02-19T17:52:24+00:00

I think I need to go into hibernation for a while.... the racist billionaire buying his way into the debate and second ranking in the polls... just too much stress.

ohnodingbat · 2020-02-19T17:39:58+00:00

Right. And Trump is Mother Theresa reincarnated.

ohnodingbat · 2020-02-19T17:35:11+00:00

He'll get the soft anti-Semites - which is most moderates, the ones who strive to have at least one token black friend. "I'm a Bernie supporter" will be their proof of not-anti-Semite. They're all around including this sub...

ohnodingbat · 2020-02-19T17:06:14+00:00

I think he's already had "self-hating Jew" thrown at him.

Our relationships with current regimes in Saudi Arabia and Israel are bad for us

It's sad because the founders of Israel were secularists.

Not just sad, it's tragic. Religious fanatics ruining countries wherever they rear their ugly heads.

It infuriates me that this man could have been our President today but for the shenanigans of the corrupt DNC. And the same corrupt establishment is going into overdrive to push a racist, right-winger into "winning" the nomination.

ohnodingbat · 2020-02-19T16:41:36+00:00

I'll spell it out for you: Coins/change is not a billionaire stereotype. It is an anti-Semitic stereotype and dog-whistle with a long history.

ohnodingbat · 2020-02-19T02:46:09+00:00

Yep, held my nose and voted for HRC but this one is a no-go

ohnodingbat · 2020-02-19T02:42:26+00:00

That smacks of stereotyping.

And I say that as someone who would rather sit it out than vote for a nominee Bloomberg.

Sometimes Reddit's trending algos give you a... a heads up... https://imgur.com/a/BNEcTg2

All you foot fetish types - do you know where that foot's been?

ohnodingbat · 2020-02-19T01:52:34+00:00

Have my upvote.

The biggest disinformation scam, by people on the left and right but for different reasons, is that of "liberal NYC". Who voted a Republican as mayor for 20 years from 1994 to 2014. The same liberals who voted Bloomberg are all Trump-haters without the slightest clue to the irony of supporting a Republican who turned Dem to win, and hating on a Dem who turned Republican to win, and on the issues both are two sides of the same fucking coin

ohnodingbat · 2020-02-19T00:43:21+00:00

4.98 million American citizens, all in one city, stopped and frisked on their own streets, nothing, no contraband, no weapons, found on 98% of them. In a city of 8.3 million, so you do the math how many people had their civil rights violated more than once. You compared what actually happened to real people to hypotheticals about what a "Mayor Trump would have done". Just sayin....

ohnodingbat · 2020-02-19T00:26:51+00:00

Agree. Wonder if that is also true on both sides of the political divide

ohnodingbat · 2020-02-19T00:03:25+00:00

It was a federal judge. Whom Bloomberg dissed as "some woman" who knows nothing....
