    @daffodil_artist @idontexistTore Recently listening to an early June show, 2022 (6/3), & Tore ****** read CRAIGSLIST ads in the 'missed connections' section .... DAMN Tore, always right down to the teeny, tiny details - 3 years ago, those sounded like contractor comms/gigs too.

  • kisumiri 🚗Kat🚗 (@kisumiri) reported

    I think I want to buy a cheap old car on marketplace or craigslist or something, fix it up, and turn it into a crazy cyberpunk-style tuner

    @jenniferforrep managed care has terrible care coordination when i was an mco plan and it took 17 months to contract established Medicaid provider i was told to look for caregivers on Craigslist it ended in abusive situation why would you want to put anyone with IDD thru that?

  • 21CentBetsyRoss V (@21CentBetsyRoss) reported

    @matt_vanswol @frost47015 Craigslist took down a listing for LA area offering $6500-$12500/week for "badasses" who would be paid even if they were just on standby. There's your answer. Many of these ppl may be out-of-work welfare recipients...but the leaders are well paid agitators w/ military experience!

  • MHifihifi MrHifihifi (@MHifihifi) reported

    Am I the only one who has had beyond terrible experiences hiring temporary people on Craigslist? There is a reason why these people are not holding regular jobs: No One Wants to hire them! Most of these people I've ehired are not responsible, undependable and just a headaches to deal with #Craigslist

    CoinMixing is Craigslist. CoinJoin is home-cooked. One’s risky and fast. The other’s slow but solid.

  • JRand1685 Chief_JR (@JRand1685) reported

    @KristinaLee1964 @w_terrence I saw the Craigslist ad you are talking about which was offered 1k for rioting "services." Paid activists, will never be an army. They will run at the first sight of trouble and are easily defeated by a large, overwhelming force. They'd rather loot than fight.

  • natestraubinger NATE (@natestraubinger) reported

    @svpino As somebody who is getting into coding and has a successful marketing business, I’ve seen countless examples of people who care way too much about the code or stack or WHATEVER. Money is made when you solve problems. Craigslist is worth billions.. Why? Bcuz it solves problems.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    I can't directly find customers, but I can suggest ways to sell your Hisense refrigerator. List it on platforms like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace with details like model, condition (new, as shown), and price ($1,000-$2,000 based on similar models). Highlight features like the water dispenser and no frost technology. Hisense is reliable, though some units may have cooling or ice maker issues, usually fixable. Ensure transparency with buyers about the model and condition to build trust. Check local listings for competitive pricing.

  • CorbinButler INLAND IVERSON (@CorbinButler) reported

    They take a real issue and play w the optics to give u a reason to look crazy to the rest of society. There were craigslist ads posted to recruit individuals to sabotage peaceful protest efforts.but when doest this happen!?! When will we not be shocked or this derailed!?

  • JustAnotherWASP comrade WASP (@JustAnotherWASP) reported from South San Francisco, California

    @RussellVarriale @FitFounder Someone has a well funded start up… aka didn’t scrounge Craigslist for a broken one to try and fix (and fail)

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @TheIntelSCIF The claim of funded riots to destabilize the government lacks clear evidence. Some groups like CHIRLA got $34M in 2023, but it's tied to advocacy, not riots. The Craigslist ad for "tough badasses" exists, but its link to protests is unclear and could be unrelated. Protests seem driven by immigration issues, not a coordinated plot. Historical riots (1992, 2020) were about specific grievances, not funded operations; 2013 had no major riots. More evidence is needed to confirm these claims.

  • KnuckleheadJ13 R L Baker (@KnuckleheadJ13) reported

    @JebraFaushay Advertising for USMC? They Germans called them Devil Dogs for a reason WWI ... The Japanese held great respect for the Marines WWII. I understand that this Craigslist ad has been taken down. It had some email address to contact to sign up.

  • KAduckworth Duck 4 Cover (@KAduckworth) reported

    These are mostly paid protestors. This time they advertised in Craigslist for “construction workers” @POTUS is either going to use this moment in time, to go after the globalists, who are running the shadow government, or this violence and false rhetoric from state officials is going to spread like a malignant cancer, to every other state in the country. This is their game plan. The media was briefed to play down the violence, and drip feed the “illegal immigrants are not criminals” rhetoric. It’s time to Bring in the Marines, and take back the country.

  • rohindhar Rohin Dhar (@rohindhar) reported

    @BayAreaREMatt True, but all startup marketplaces face that problem and eventually one of them figures it out! In this case none appear to have yet. Even FB and Craigslist FSBO with large amounts of exposure don't seem to do the trick

  • LatishaSnider12 Tish Snider (@LatishaSnider12) reported

    @DHSgov any and all advertisements on Craigslist and other places need to be found, shut down and creators prosecuted also. They're searching for and paying people any way they can to disrupt and riot.

  • kittysredscare # kitty ⚔️ (@kittysredscare) reported

    I’m going to make an ad on craigslist to find someone who wants to be chased through Golden Gate park with a knife for half an hour before I catch them and pin them down to the ground

  • TweetsandMoore ole matt (@TweetsandMoore) reported

    @SteveMerkle9 Ohh god I would be moved down to Craigslist

  • pgswagamilli Reymond Brandt (@pgswagamilli) reported

    @ChadHogons @MissBNasty It's literally why they shut down Craigslist and ******** lol

  • narrtrek Narr Trek (@narrtrek) reported

    @AntiLeftMemes Mine has come down. My E0 gas is cheaper. I use the mower, pruner, electric **** whacker, that I already have. I could set her up with an illegal yard guy replacement kit for about $300, less if I use Craigslist.

  • DianaDeemer Diana (@DianaDeemer) reported

    @MilaLovesJoe Protestors are paid 12k a week for their participation. There's a Craigslist looking to recruit strong people. The craigslist post was taken down, but someone has a screenshot. Who is paying this money?

  • b_winzer Ben Winzer (@b_winzer) reported

    Every single second the site loads slow That potential client just mentally closes the tab You think they’re impressed. They’re just annoyed. They’re opening another website that looks like Craigslist but actually loads in under a second

  • Dave__Handy Dave Handy (@Dave__Handy) reported

    Do not rely on @CashApp to refund your money if a scammer gets you! My gf sent a craigslist scammer $30 for a down payment for apartment cleaning - they say she needs the scammer to approve the refund, & there's nothing else they can do. They're knowingly facilitating fraud!

  • TallBlondeGuy Brendan Berkley (@TallBlondeGuy) reported

    @Ike_Saul I dunno, I have a Craigslist Aeron stool and it’s come through for me in huge ways when I’ve had back issues

  • DoyleTitlow1 doyleT.aka:Velcrobutt #MAGA #fightfightfight (@DoyleTitlow1) reported

    @matt_vanswol The ones hiding their face are the paid protestors from the Craigslist ad and the trouble-makers.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @DTadych59828 @prolificalpha @GeneralMCNews Grok is reliable for technical queries, scoring high on benchmarks like 93.3% on AIME. It was accurate about the Craigslist ads, as no credible evidence supports their existence, and similar claims were debunked. However, Grok can falter with real-time X data, sometimes spreading misinformation, like false headlines in 2024. Past bias incidents, like the 2025 "white genocide" glitch, raise concerns, though xAI is improving transparency. Verify sensitive info with multiple sources, as Grok's trustworthiness varies by context.
