PENNY L.A. SHEPARD (@shepardout) reportedI am ready stressed right now. My bank account is really low and I had alot of unexpected charges come in this month and more are coming. If you can possibly donate a few dollars to my Paypal I would really appreciate it. My time is stretched, and have been working on technical issues for two weeks. I have had to spend money on software and medical and office that have put me dangerously low in my bank account. If you can afford even a small donation, could you please send emergency funds I would be so appreciative!

Feanor (@CryptoFeanor) reportedBeen holding base:0x5576d6ed9181f2225aff5282ac0ed29f755437ea since way back, and they've done nothing but put their head down and ship the whole time. Now they've got a seat at the table with Mastercard, PayPal and HSBC on agentic payments. Grabbed some more today.

Cai Co (@CaiCo87) reported@PayPal PayPal is a terrible service that facilitates fraud and does nothing about it. They’ll give the company who commits fraud until the end of the year to respond, by which point nothing will be done even when there is clear evidence of fraud. They profit off of it.

Nick (@NiiiickMMA) reported@videogamedeals I've always preferred physical out of habit, but back in 2022 my Nintendo account got banned for a PayPal chargeback. Problem is I don't have a PayPal account. I got unbanned but the 2-3 days I was banned all my digital games were locked. Reinforced how important ownership is.

Inki (@inki_tea) reported@LeeandLie Unsure if this applies but if you guys used PayPal, I know they are great for getting a refund if you have proof of bankruptcy?

Joulse (@joulsounet) reportedAirbnb Part 2 I clicked PayPal on a booking just to check the payment flow Airbnb instantly confirmed the reservation and charged me €1,000 without showing any final confirmation screen or asking me to confirm the booking I canceled it within a minute and immediately messaged the host explaining it was a mistake and asking for a refund Then I realized it was non-refundable Turns out the co-host is the same host I had a dispute with a month ago They refused to refund me and Airbnb says they can’t do anything So I’m now €1,000 down with no reservation @Airbnb I really need you to step in here

Aditya (@AdityaCursed) reported@Cal_I_Guess No option to add Paypal. The only reliable way is buying giftcards which only come in 1k,2k,3k etc. if i wanna buy a game thats 599 i gotta pay an extra 400 to get a 1000 rupee gift card and only use half on the digital purchase. Not the case with physical. Unless they fix this+

دکتر مهندس فتحی (@i_sundog) reported@DrMichaelBonner will try to secure a copy for you through friends visiting if all else doesn't work? following explains how to directly purchase Farsi translation of the book- sorry a bit lengthy, eh: sanctions heavily affect ability to purchase the Farsi translation directly from Iranian platforms if you are located in the United States. US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control enforces strict comprehensive sanctions on Iran's banking n financial sectors. This creates significant practical barriers, even though the law technically makes exceptions for books. 1. The Informational Exception (The Legality): under the Berman Amendment to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act importation n exportation of "informational materials" -including books, films, n music - are exempt fr US sanctions. •its completely legal for you to own, read, or import a physical or digital copy of this Farsi translation into the US. •You are not violating US federal law simply by buying a piece of literature. 2. Banking Blockade is a Practical Problem while buying the book is perfectly legal, paying for it fr US is nearly impossible through normal channels. •Iranian online stores like Digikala, Taaghche, or IranKetab only accept Iranian bank cards connected to the local Shatab (شتاب) network. •no International Processors: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, n PayPal operate in Iran n will block any transaction attempted on an Iranian website. •IP Blocks: many Iranian e-commerce networks completely block incoming web traffic or payment requests originating fr US IP addresses due to cybersecurity defenses. Workarounds to Purchase the Book Fr the US includes 3 choices: •Diaspora Persian Bookstores: Specialist physical n online bookstores based in the US, Canada, or Europe regularly import shipments of legal info materials fr Tehran. Check retailers like Ketab Corp (Los Angeles - aka Tehrangeles, they may have it, or find out if online Persian book importers can order a copy of آخرین امپراتوری ایران fr Mehrandish Publications for you. •Family or Friends in Iran: is easiest method is to have a contact inside Iran buy the physical book locally or purchase the digital version on Taaghche using an Iranian bank card, n then send you the login details or ship the physical copy via international mail networks. if other methods didn't work for you, let me know i will pursue this option •Third-Party Proxy Services: some international diaspora agencies specialize in paying for Iranian digital services on behalf of expats, though these often incur high service fees n operate in a legal gray area regarding money transfers.

Hope (@LordGem3) reported@ArmandDoma It is hard though, right? Because, the PayPal mafia model is to pull a bunch of disconnected nodes together. You fund a lot of startups, some of them succeed. The successful ones consolidate into something greater than the sum of their parts. The problem with regulating ai is..

Robin Reynolds (@RobinvReynolds) reported. Scummy tricks the platform sticks up my *** every day... a) A guy reposted one of my actual articles this morning, and I went over there to check on it about an hour later and found it 72 posts back on the timeline. b) I made a little post just about that. It has a few comments on it, but no one would ever know. Because the comment counter is blank. Comments to my post don't register. So no one would ever think of clicking to view them. They've been concealed by the platform. The scumbags that run this platform have pulled every ***** trick in the book on me from the very beginning, but have really put the hammer down since my series of articles targeting the PayPal Mafia directly, as well as the organized crime cartel occupying the Oval Office with articles such as "The Doge Scam", and "The Pardons Racket". Since then, my account's basically been dead. I've been locked in a vault for a month. .

Founder Tribune (@Founder_Tribune) reportedElon Musk explains why he never starts with a product. He starts with a list he made in the shower: Musk is asked whether he begins with a specific product in mind. A Model S, a Falcon 9 and reverse-engineers his way there, or whether he starts by spotting something broken in the world and commits to fixing it, even without knowing how. Neither framing quite fits his answer. Every company he's built Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity, and PayPal and Zip2 before them traces back to his time in college, when he set out to work out "what would most affect the future in a very likely to be a positive way." That single question produced a shortlist of five areas. Three he was confident about: "The three areas where I was quite sure would be positive were sustainable energy, internet, and making life multiplanetary." And two he wasn't: "There were a couple other areas where maybe a question mark, like AI and rewriting genetics." Those two came attached to a warning: "Potentially negative consequences, hopefully positive, but something could go wrong." The striking part is how the whole framework surfaced. Not from a strategic planning exercise or years of deliberation: "Those were the five areas that I could come up with standing in the shower basically." The takeaway: Musk doesn't chase products, and he doesn't start with what's broken. He starts one level higher by asking which domains will most shape the future of humanity, backing the ones he's convinced are net-positive, and letting specific companies fall out of that filter. The Model S and the Falcon 9 are downstream of a decision he made years before either existed. fu

Ryan (@ryanprompt) reported4. It was the exact same question people asked me a few years ago, before I made my ecommerce business successful and moved to Dubai; when I started testing payment platforms that actually offered real individual attention to the merchants who signed up. Believe me, the big payment companies and the scammers ones do not want any real proximity with businesses that simply appear out of nowhere. Frustrated after having thousands of dollars frozen across multiple platforms like Paddle, Commas, Lemon Squeezy, PayPal, Braintree, Square and several smaller ones, I decided to build my own payment gateway. I wanted to understand 100% how this market works and how to establish myself in it. After a few months, a group of developers and I created Arkus, a platform that until recently only served as a payment processor for a close group around me and my companies. Now it is being launched to the public for the first time, and it is specifically looking for legitimate merchants who want to scale but who, just like us, have suffered far too many problems with traditional payment gateways. If you want to be one of the first to receive special attention for your business, before we grow to a level where it becomes almost impossible not to use AI to manage risk for every account, comment “ARKUS” to get personal attention from me, not just from our team.

Perma Banned ထ🔨 (@GiveMeBanHammer) reportedI know many people are still shocked over the growing evidence that Jason Schreier likely exaggerated or perhaps even manufactured the Blizzard incidents. Guesses on motivations for why he did so differ but most speculate he’s "paving a way" - possibly allowing people he is friends with...or part of the same clique with...to take over jobs and leadership positions in Blizzard. If it turns out to be true then I want to assure you, NONE of this is new. These cliques have done this for over a decade now, and to show you a taste of what I mean, I will refer to you a little incident called "Game_Jam" 2014 Essentially, it was a high-profile and hyped Reality show where Game devs developed a game live. It was big, it was well prepped. It failed HARD. It got destroyed before it even had a chance to get off the ground. Now why did that happen? Well around the time of the event, Games Journalists started to make a whole bunch of coordinated very negative pieces on the Gamejam, a lot of blatant exaggerations of issues that made the show look like a disaster. Back then, most people didn't know that Games Journalists enjoyed lying, so they took these articles at face value. Hype for the show was destroyed and the show was cancelled. Again, why would that happen? Well it turns out, within the SAME DAY - a NEW Game Jam website got created, called "Rebel Game Jam". The "Rebel Game Jam", was run by someone that goes by the Initials ZQ. The website had links to "donations", and these donations, go directly to this ZQ's personal paypal account. Coincidence? To me its not. It turns out, ZQ has been shown to be quite good friends with many Games Journalists, many of them frequently write positive press about her and her single "game". Some of the games Journalists even actively donated to her Patreon. That's how much of a "good friend" they were with this ZQ. So again, don't be shocked if the theory that "Games Journalists like Jason Schreier exaggerated or manufactured horrible stories about Blizzard leadership so they get kicked out of the Company, ripe for replacement by their friends” turns out to be true. Always keep and eye out, do not trust Game Journalists. When they write something or do something - always ask yourself "who are they backing? What do theu actually want?” Am I being ******? Probably. Should you still watch out even if I am? Yes.

XRP Insider (@xrpinsider2017) reportedRipple's CEO just explained why #XRP exists in under 2 minutes no jargon: Venmo can't send to PayPal, even though PayPal owns Venmo. That's how broken our payment networks are. Now scale that to sending money overseas: slow, expensive, and it can vanish for weeks. Ripple's fix: sell the tech to banks worldwide. 4 second settlement, fractions of a penny, anywhere on Earth. Customers don't care it runs on XRP. They just care that it works.
