There’s never just one ant

So there's a great Thai restaurant in my neighborhood called Kiin. Yesterday, I searched for their website to order some takeout. Here's the Google result.

That top result (an ad)? It's fake. It goes to https://kiinthaila.com, which is NOT the website for Kiin.

The *third* result is real: https://kiinthaiburbank.com

Fake site:

Real site:

I got duped. I placed an order with the fake site. The fake site then placed the order - in my name! -  with the real site, having marked up the prices by 15%. Kiin clearly knows they're doing this (presumably by the billing data on the credit card the fakesters use to place the order). They called me within minutes to tell me they'd cancelled the fakesters' order.

I could still come pick it up, but I'd have to pay them, and cancel the payment to the fakesters with Amex. Actually, as it turns out, I have to cancel TWO payments, because the fakesters DOUBLE-charged me.

Here's what that charge looks like on my Amex bill. See that phone number? [phone] is the number for Wix, who provides the scammers' website.

How the actual FUCK did these obvious scammers get an Amex merchant account in the name of "KIINTHAILA" by after supplying the phone number for a website hosting company? What is Amex's KYC procedure? Do they even call the phone number?

And why the actual FUCK is Google Ads accepting these scam artists' ads for a business that they already have a knowledge box for?! Google KNOWS what the real KIIN restaurant is, and yet they are accepting payment to put a fake KIIN listing two slots ABOVE the real one.

To be fair to these scammer asshole ripoff creeps who are trying to steal from my local mom-and-pop, single location Thai eatery, they're just following in the shoes of Doordash and Uber Eats, who did the same thing to hundreds (thousands?) of restaurants during lockdown.

Doug Rushkoff says that the ethic of today's "entrepreneur" is to “Go Meta” - don't provide a product or a service, simply find a way to be a predatory squatter on a chokepoint between people who do useful things and people who use those things.

These parasites have turned themselves into landlords of someone else's home, collecting rent on a property they don't own and have no connection to.

There's NEVER just one ant. I guaran-fucking-tee you that these same creeps have 1,000 other fake Wix websites with 1,000 fake Amex merchant accounts for 1,000 REAL businesses, and that Google has sold them ads for every one of them. Amex and Google and Wix should be able to spot these creeps FROM ORBIT. Holy shit do we live in the worst of all possible timelines. We have these monopolist megacorps that spy on and control everything we do, wielding the most arbitrary and high-handed authority.

And yet they do NOT ONE FUCKING THING to prevent these petty scammers from using their infra as force-multipliers to let them steal from every hungry person patronizing every local restaurant.

I mean, what's the point of letting these robber-barons run the entire show if they're not even COMPETENT?

ETA: Dinner was delicious

Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog - Birth of a Salesman (Screenshots & Review)

Well, uh, whoops! Once again, thanks to the terribly out-or-order AND incomplete YouTube playlist I'd been watching the show on, I ended up missing Wes Weasely's introduction episode! Thankfully, I was able to use the Sonic fandom wiki to make a list of all the episodes I missed, so I can look up them up individually. I've reviewed so many at this point that now I have a completion complex....*wrings her hands* let's a-go.....

The episodes starts off with Robotnik bullying his children, as he tends to do. Thankfully the abuse is interrupted by an excited knocking on one of the entrance doors to the fortress. As Grounder goes to open it, Weasely barges in,  squishing poor Grounder behind the door like he was Garfield on a Monday.

Robotnik is impressed by the fact that Weasely is"obnoxious, pushy and dresses funny" and shows interest in the traveling salesman's products. Weasely introduces his first product, which is a pretty cool and spooky device - it somehow has the ability to create large clouds of darkness in the immediate area, no matter ho much light is present.Robotnik sends Scratch and Grounder out with the new weapon, but of course they fail to take out Sonic with it. Robotnik tries another device, this one being a freezeray - and his badniks fail with this one as well. At this point, Robotnik is questioning why he keeps fixing Scratch and Grounder, admitting that he's just too sentimental about them. He's also getting fed up with Weasely, as he is hoping to get his money back for each product, but because the products themselves work fine, Weasely refuses - pointing out that the problem each time has been operator error.

The darkness cloud weapon is pretty cool and spooky!

Sonic and Tails playing leapfrog is just too cute!

Good to know that if Scratch gets melted, Robotnik can reform him with a giant waffle iron....

Grounder toots his own horn! The next device Weasely offers is a pretty neat anti-gravity ray, which impresses Robotnik enough that he's willing to give it a chance. Meanwhile, we see what Sonic are Tails are up to  -they’re playing leap frog, which is so cute! But unfortunately, it seems like they’re feeling down. Sonic has been really restless all day, and it's wearing poor Tails out to have been walking so long with him. The two take a seat, but Sonic quickly gets to feeling restless again. Tails points out that he already fought Scratch and Groudner twice today, but Sonic is craving more action. Eventually he gets up and has the "zoomies", like a little dog would, which is kind of adorable. Tails watches as Sonic runs all over the place for a while to get his energy out.

As Sonic tells Tails he's feeling better, he gets more than he bargained for - Scratch and Grounder have just fired the anti-gravity ray at him and Tails, which keeps them trapped in the air for quite a while. Scratch and Grounder do a pretty good job of holding him captive for a while but eventually mess up, once again, letting our heroes escape.

Back at the fortress, Robotnik fixes his badniks yet again and sends a robot to drag Weasely back to the fortress so he can demand another gadget. At this point Weasely is no longer interested in selling to Robotnik, fearing that he himself will get violence the Doc. But, due to pressure, he caves and sells Robotnik what is essentially a Pokeball gun - a rather horrifying device that atomizes its target and can then reassembles them later. The machine gets tested out on Scratch, which terrifies Grounder because he was afraid that he might have just watched his brother die. Poor Grounder...and poor scratch, too! I'm glad he's okay after that...

Robotnik sends scratch and Grounder into a cornfield, along with Weasely, demanding that Weasely make sure they use the machine correctly. Of course, they don't and end up hitting a switch on the device that is still experimental, and Weasely panics, not knowing what it will even do!

What it does do, apparently, is make clones of the target. The gun causes 4 other Sonic’s to appear, or at-least 4 "projections" of Sonic. They team up to use the cornstalks to create a giant popcorn ball that chases the badniks away. Mmm...popcorn ball....my teeth are fucked right now so I can't eat popcorn, but now I'm wondering where I can get some popcorn balls when it isn't December...?

After the badniks are chased off, Weasely uses the device to fuse the other Sonic’s back into the original. I'm not sure if they were separate sentient beings or they were different manifestations of Sonic’s body/mind, but I’m hoping it was the later because otherwise the merging would have killed the other Sonics!

Weasely is wanting a break from Robotnik, so Sonic disguises as a salesman from Weaselys employer and heads to Robotnik’s fortress to show off a new machine that combines all the previous weapons Weasely was showing off. He torments Robotnik and his kids with it, leaving them trapped in ice cubes with their body parts all mixed up, This is another scene that I will add to the evidence pile of "Scratch and Grounder can't be entirely mechanical" because they and Robotnik can survive having their body parts swapped, which means that they have the necessary bits to support the life of a human being and vice versa.

In the Sonic Says segment, Tails is happily doing that "manspreading" thing on his favorite lounge chair, watching TV. Weasely is advertising a robot toy that Tails is interested in. When he goes to Weaselys shop, though, he finds that Weasely is trying to push a whole bunch of add-ons that inflate the original place ten fold! Sonic warns that if a product sounds too good, then its probably too good to be true. It's nice to see Sonic calling out unethical and manipulative business moves, something I am definitely quite burned out on within the video game industry.

Too bad the robot was part of a scam. He’s pretty adorable and I’m sure he and Tails would make good friends!

Can I take this opportunity to say that my entire life I’ve been annoyed at what a blatant dick move it is to price things like this?

This episode is a lot of fun overall! Robotnik’s abuse towards scratch and Grounder can be a bit much to the point of being uncomfortable at times, but Wes Weasely is always funny, and all the gadgets he shows off are really neat. When they're not being bullied by their shitty dad, Scratch and Grounder get a lot of screen time being cute and funny, as well. Seeing Sonic have the zoomies was pretty adorable, too.

Til next time, stay cool,be good people, and Happy Pride Month!

After I explored Atlantis (The Lost Empire) on such a deep level (Milo Thatch moment/j), I encountered a lot of things I cannot unsee. Honestly...in this day and age I'm convinced we reached a point that there's so many stories in existence that it's impossible to read and watch everything. There is a fair chance we may even accidentally rip-off something without being aware of it. To me...rip-offs are a paradox of concepts. Concepts keep lasting when they're made into a metamorphosis process (aka. "rip-offs"). I don't think we have the lifespan to literally read and watch everything so we have all the information to avoid copying off each other. It's just our jurisdiction to point out whether something truly is original or not when we're unable to even fathom everything we created in our lifetimes and generations. Media is an endless paradox itself just as creation is. Media is made the same way life is. We evolve, whether we enjoy it or not. This is a really tragic reality. My question is: do we know the original source or has it been completely forgotten from existence? We can easily debate what can be the original source. Some things we can differ easier than others, hence copyright is present. Some stories are more memorable than others and that is how some are easier to compare than others. For those who want to know the true Atlantis: it is ourselves.

#rant #ripoffs #ripoff rant #paradoxes of existence #disney #media #vent #well...sometimes media that's inspired off another media actually improves the latter #there are also creators out there who permit someone to take inspo from them #ah so many things to say #well...it's up to our judgement basically #history begins the evolution & it can be unclear whether it takes a telephone route a degrading route or an improvement route #it can also stay the same yet also not the exact same #btw no i am not a supporter of ripoffs especially when it's intentional for petty reasons #however i do get impressed whenever a ripoff happens to have made a better story than the original source

worst way to start my new year, thanks. i have a lot of things to say about these companies but i'm tired and just keeping it focused to the pin side of things for this one. do not ever buy pins from these companies, literally ALL of them are stolen from small artists like me. if you want to buy enamel pins, check out etsy, and artist's personal websites and shops! (though even Etsy has some bootleg pins that ship straight from china, so tread carefully…)

Every pin I've designed is, thus far, EXCLUSIVE to my etsy. if you find it anywhere else, it's been ripped off! and once these stupid bootlegs pop up, it's basically a never ending game of whack-a-mole trying to get them all taken down...

#psa #art theft #pin theft #aliexpress #shein #wish #temu #deltarune #the bootleg pin is just over an inch tall. do you know how BAD this design looks at that size?? i'd know. i tested it. #they didn't even use the black nickel of the pin for the black parts of the design. and the listing says copper for some reason. what. #some people never even get their designs taken down. its really sad #so i might just have to deal with bootleg queens out there forever :( i hope nobody confuses the ripoffs for the real thing.... #my pin is so much nicer! its almost two inches big and it has two posts on the back so it doesn't spin #because spinning pins are the bane of my existence #im out here working my ass off out of my bedroom in my parents place trying to make a living and here come these pricks #i watermarked all my listing photos exactly so they Couldn't steal my fucking pictures so at least there's that #my new years is just full of bad luck so far i hope this isn't a bad omen #if my registration isn't accepted by the aliexpress copyright department I'm SOL and this will just. stay up i guess #i'm sad #bootleggers kys

Amazon tried to stiff a man who ordered an iPhone and got dog food instead Ian Burton ordered a $1,600 iPhone on Amazon. When the package arrived, he signed for it. He opened the box and found dog food inside, not a phone. He contacted Amazon and informed them of the mix-up.

'We buy ugly houses' is code for 'we steal vulnerable peoples' homes'

Tonight (May 11) at 7PM, I’m in CALGARY for Wordfest, with my novel Red Team Blues; I’ll be hosted by Peter Hemminger at the Memorial Park Library, 2nd Floor.

Home ownership is the American dream: not only do you get a place to live, free from the high-handed dictates of a landlord, but you also get an asset that appreciates, building intergenerational wealth while you sleep — literally.

If you’d like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here’s a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/11/ugly-houses-ugly-truth/#homevestor

Of course, you can’t have it both ways. If your house is an asset you use to cover falling wages, rising health care costs, spiraling college tuition and paper-thin support for eldercare, then it can’t be a place you live. It’s gonna be an asset you sell — or at the very least, borrow so heavily against that you are in constant risk of losing it.

This is the contradiction at the heart of the American dream: when America turned its back on organized labor as an engine for creating prosperity and embraced property speculation, it set itself on the road to serfdom — a world where the roof over your head is also your piggy bank, destined to be smashed open to cover the rising costs that an organized labor movement would have fought:

https://gen.medium.com/the-rents-too-damned-high-520f958d5ec5

Today, we’re hit the end of the road for the post-war (unevenly, racially segregated) shared prosperity that made it seem, briefly, that everyone could get rich by owning a house, living in it, then selling it to everybody else. Now that the game is ending, the winners are cashing in their chips:

https://doctorow.medium.com/the-end-of-the-road-to-serfdom-bfad6f3b35a9

The big con of home ownership is proceeding smartly on schedulee. First, you let the mark win a little, so they go all in on the scam. Then you take it all back. Obama’s tolerance of bank sleze after the Great Financial Crisis kicked off the modern era of corporations and grifters stealing Americans’ out from under them, forging deeds in robosigning mills:

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-breaks-down-93-bln-robo-signing-settlement-2013-02-28

The thefts never stopped. Today on Propublica, by Anjeanette Damon, Byard Duncan and Mollie Simon bring a horrifying, brilliantly reported account of the rampant, bottomless scams of Homevestors, AKA We Buy Ugly Houses, AKA “the #1 homebuyer in the USA”:

https://www.propublica.org/article/ugly-truth-behind-we-buy-ugly-houses

Homevestors — an army of the hedge fund Bayview Asset Management — claims a public mission: to bail out homeowners sitting on unsellable houses with all-cash deals. The company’s franchisees — 1,150 of them in 48 states — then sprinkle pixie dust and secret sauce on these “ugly houses” and sell them at a profit.

But Propublica’s investigation — which relied on whistleblowers, company veterans, court records and interviews with victims — tells a very different story. The Homevestor they discovered is a predator that steals houses out from under elderly people, disabled people, people struggling with mental illness and other vulnerable people. It’s a company whose agents have a powerful, well-polished playbook that stops family members from halting the transfers the company’s high-pressure salespeople set in motion.

Propublica reveals homeowners with advanced dementia who signed their shaky signatures to transfers that same their homes sold out from under them for a fraction of their market value. They show how Homevestor targets neighborhoods struck by hurricanes, or whose owners are recently divorced, or sick. One whistleblower tells of how the company uses the surveillance advertising industry to locate elderly people who’ve broken a hip: “a 60-day countdown to death — and, possibly, a deal.” The company’s mobile ads are geofenced to target people near hospitals and rehab hospitals, in hopes of finding desperate sellers who need to liquidate homes so that Medicaid will cover their medical expenses.

The sales pitches are relentless. One of Homevestor’s targets was a Texas woman whose father had recently been murdered. As she grieved, they blanketed her in pitches to sell her father’s house until “checking her mail became a traumatic experience.”

Real-estate brokers are bound by strict regulations, but not house flippers like Homevestors. Likewise, salespeople who pitch other high-ticket items, from securities to plane tickets — are required to offer buyers a cooling-off period during which they can reconsider their purchases. By contrast, Homevestors’ franchisees are well-versed in “muddying the title” to houses after the contract is signed, filing paperwork that makes it all but impossible for sellers to withdraw from the sale.

This produces a litany of ghastly horror-stories: homeowners who end up living in their trucks after they were pressured into a lowball sales; sellers who end up dying in hospital beds haunted by the trick that cost them their homes. One woman who struggled with hoarding was tricked into selling her house by false claims that the city would evict her because of her hoarding. A widow was tricked into signing away the deed to her late husband’s house by the lie that she could do so despite not being on the deed. One seller was tricked into signing a document he believed to be a home equity loan application, only to discover he had sold his house at a huge discount on its market value. An Arizona woman was tricked into selling her dead mother’s house through the lie that the house would have to be torn down and the lot redeveloped; the Homevestor franchisee then flipped the house for 5,500% of the sale-price.

The company vigorously denies these claims. They say that most people who do business with Homevestors are happy with the outcome; in support of this claim, they cite internal surveys of their own customers that produce a 96% approval rating.

When confronted with the specifics, the company blamed rogue franchisees. But Propublica obtained training materials and other internal documents that show that the problem is widespread and endemic to Homevestors’ business. Propublica discovered that at least eight franchisees who engaged in conduct the company said it “didn’t tolerate” had been awarded prizes by the company for their business acumen.

Franchisees are on the hook for massive recurring fees and face constant pressure from corporate auditors to close sales. To make those sales, franchisees turn to Homevana’s training materials, which are rife with predatory tactics. One document counsels franchisees that “pain is always a form of motivation.” What kind of pain? Lost jobs, looming foreclosure or a child in need of surgery.

A former franchisee explained how this is put into practice in the field: he encountered a seller who needed to sell quickly so he could join his dying mother who had just entered a hospice 1,400 miles away. The seller didn’t want to sell the house; they wanted to “get to Colorado to see their dying mother.”

These same training materials warn franchisees that they must not deal with sellers who are “subject to a guardianship or has a mental capacity that is diminished to the point that the person does not understand the value of the property,” but Propublica’s investigation discovered “a pattern of disregard” for this rule. For example, there was the 2020 incident in which a 78-year-old Atlanta man sold his house to a Homevestors franchisee for half its sale price. The seller was later shown to be “unable to write a sentence or name the year, season, date or month.”

The company tried to pin the blame for all this on bad eggs among its franchisees. But Propublica found that some of the company’s most egregious offenders were celebrated and tolerated before and after they were convicted of felonies related to their conduct on behalf of the company. For example, Hi-Land Properties is a five-time winner of Homevestors’ National Franchise of the Year prize. The owner was praised by the CEO as “loyal, hardworking franchisee who has well represented our national brand, best practices and values.”

This same franchisee had “filed two dozen breach of contract lawsuits since 2016 and clouded titles on more than 300 properties by recording notices of a sales contract.” Hi-Land “sued an elderly man so incapacitated by illness he couldn’t leave his house.”

Another franchisee, Patriot Holdings, uses the courts aggressively to stop families of vulnerable people from canceling deals their relatives signed. Patriot Holdings’ co-owner, Cory Evans, eventually pleaded guilty to to two felonies, attempted grand theft of real property. He had to drop his lawsuits against buyers, and make restitution.

According to Homevestors’ internal policies, Patriot’s franchise should have been canceled. But Homevestors allowed Patriot to stay in business after Cory Evans took his name off the business, leaving his brothers and other partners to run it. Nominally, Cory Evans was out of the picture, but well after that date, internal Homevestors included Evans in an award it gave to Patriot, commemorating its sales (Homevestors claims this was an error).

Propublica’s reporters sought comment from Homevestors and its franchisees about this story. The company hired “a former FBI spokesperson who specializes in ‘crisis and special situations’ and ‘reputation management’ and funnelled future questions through him.”

Internally, company leadership scrambled to control the news. The company convened a webinar in April with all 1,150 franchisees to lay out its strategy. Company CEO David Hicks explained the company’s plan to “bury” the Propublica article with “‘strategic ad buys on social and web pages’ and ‘SEO content to minimize visibility.’”

https://www.propublica.org/article/homevestors-aims-to-bury-propublica-reporting

Franchisees were warned not to click links to the story because they “might improve its internet search ranking.”

Even as the company sought to “bury” the story and stonewalled Propublica, they cleaned house, instituting new procedures and taking action against franchisees identified in Propublica’s article. “Clouding titles” is now prohibited. Suing sellers for breach of contract is “discouraged.” Deals with seniors “should always involve family, attorneys or other guardians.”

During the webinar, franchisees “pushed back on the changes, claiming they could hurt business.”

If you’ve had experience with hard-sell house-flippers, Propublica wants to know: “If you’ve had experience with a company or buyer promising fast cash for homes, our reporting team wants to hear about it.”

G-LO waxes poetic (or something) on the beginnings of that one band he was in...

"Immediately after the breakup of my first band, Supercharger, in late March or early April 1993, three guys (Jon Von, Jason White, and myself) practice for the first time at a home where Supercharger recorded their Goes Way Out LP. This was in the living room of a small house of a friend of mine in San Francisco. This group didn't have a name yet, but I already knew what I wanted to name the band, The Rip Offs. We didn't do any covers, and played only two songs, one was a Jon Von song, and the other was a Jason White song called "Can't Stop". I had no songs to present to the group. And later of course, we would add Shane White, Jason's brother to play lead guitar.  This is that song we recorded later for the Rip Offs Got A Record LP. The Rip Offs perform the We're Loud Fest in Napoli Italy on Oct 8th."
