What’s the reference? I tried thinking of songs that would fit but all I came up with was Toto’s Rosanna.

Money laundering and conspiracy to facilitate prostitution were the charges that stuck. In fact, prosecutors claiming they were involved in child sex trafficking caused a mistrial https://apnews.com/article/business-trials-3b1c9d3e59e90cd60764b3eb989fec80
The point is not about what they did or didn’t do, it’s that if you try to go outside the system you get hammered.
zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.devto Gaming@beehaw.org•Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed0·2 days agoThat’s what Backpage tried to do when the cc processors pulled out. The owners of Backpage were at some point charged with money laundering among many many other crimes. The years of legal battles that started in 2018 drove one of them to suicide. Would not recommend.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.devto Curated Tumblr@sh.itjust.works•social cue fails (MANY more images in post)English0·6 days agoIn a Japanese language course, students were assigned native speaker penpals. I had asked some pretty boring questions in the first letter like how old are you, what are your hobbies, etc. The teacher proofread the letters before we sent them. The feedback I got: you really don’t need to ask what nationality they are, there’s only one country that uses Japanese. I turned beet red on that one.

It’s almost as low as priests. Screw up somewhere, just get yourself shuffled to another place if things haven’t blown over by the time your paid leave is up.

Hanneman’s (Journal of Medical Ethics, June 2017) breakthrough, illustrated here, uses bomb glasses to increase compliance. It is rare the fuse needs to be lit, but a lighter should be kept in plain view of the subject as both reminder and enforcement if necessary.

Eight times worse for me is waiting for others to take their turn at a board game. Recently played Wyrmspan (Wingspan but with dragons). Nobody was even thinking about what they were doing next until their turn and somebody’s spouse wanted to leave and kept asking if we were almost done. We only got to play 3 out of the 4 rounds.
It’s wild that the benefits of this outweigh the cost of making it enough to stick around.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.devto Casual UK@feddit.uk•Missing SkeletonsEnglish0·27 days agoJust wanted to say the image is from a movie called The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. There’s aliens, mutants, scientists, a woman made from 7 forest animals, a scientist’s wife, and a skeleton. It’s a comedic homage to old b movies and is well worth a watch.
Thank you!
