  1. rumors are flying that Ippei is negotiating a plea deal...that he was able to turn off notifications so Shoehei wouldn't see the wire transfers from his account.
  2. so there's a video out of Benji's old girlfriend Alissa Jordano, and she's smacking a guy around for money. He's got some humiliation kink or some weird shit, and he gets pissed and fights back.
  3. 2nd the SB courthouse. It's really great.

    Getting old sucks

    I posted upthread about my Dupetryn's procedure. Saw the hand doc today for my follow-up. Doc says I may be the best outcome of his career. Just fantastic results, particularly for a man of my "seniority".
  5. He deserves guitar props just for "All my Loving". That strum is a motherfucker.
  6. Any idiot that leaves a guitar in a car in San Berdoo-Highland deserves to get it stolen.
  7. So, somebody please explain the mechanics. I download the VPN to my laptop? What about my smart TVs?
  8. well fuck me. You scan Zillow now and again. I guess that makes YOU the expert. Active condos listed in La Jolla right now: 26 Under 1 million: 6 Under 2 million: 18 Under 3 million: 25
  9. I googled her. She's got a fucked up real name. Amy Beth Dziewiontkowski (born May 3, 1968),[1] known professionally as Amy Ryan, is an American actress of stage and screen. A graduate of New York's High School of Performing Arts, she is an Academy Award nominee and two-time Tony Award nominee.
  10. That's some straight-up bullshit. The most expensive condo in La Jolla right now is 6.2. The next most expensive is 2.78. There are several that can be had in the 1,000,000 to 1.5 range. I'm not saying that it's not a shitload of money, but "several million" is just inaccurate. But i'm just a San Diego Realtor. What the fuck do I know?
  11. necro bump I don't know shit about fuck about VPN's. In the last year, I switched my ISP from the cable company to T-Mobile. It's a lot cheaper, and works just as well if not better. Since the MLB season started, I've been frustrated that the MLB network has blacked out all Angels and Dodgers games. I called the MLB network, and they said it's because T mobile shows my location as Los Angeles (I'm close to San Diego). I called T mobile and they said that they can't do shit to fix it. It connects where ever it connects. The T mobile dude told me to get a VPN. This thread is old, so can somebody recommend a good, affordable VPN and explain to this idiot how to change my location to San Diego (or Wichita, or Amarillo, or wherever? Wait, not Amarillo...I like porn.
  12. CNN — Conservative activists Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have agreed to pay $1 million to the New York attorney general’s office and others for running a voter suppression campaign targeting Black voters during the 2020 election. The deal announced Tuesday by state Attorney General Letitia James represents the latest punishment the pair will face for orchestrating a broad voter suppression campaign four years ago that used robocalls to spread election-related misinformation to Black voters and others in an effort to discourage voting. A federal judge found the two men liable last year for targeting Black voters in New York, saying in a lengthy ruling that they “set into motion a full-scale voter suppression operation during the summer of 2020 to discourage eligible voters from voting by targeting mail-in voting in the 2020 Election.” Under the deal reached by Wohl and Burkman with James’ office, the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and several individual plaintiffs, the two men have agreed to pay a $1 million judgment to those parties, according to the attorney general. If the pair “fail to pay at least $105,000 by December 31, 2024, and do not address the failure to pay within 30 days, the amount will increase to $1.25 million,” James’ office said. “Wohl and Burkman orchestrated a depraved and disinformation-ridden campaign to intimidate Black voters in an attempt to sway the election in favor of their preferred candidate,” James said in a statement. “My office will always defend the right to vote.” A judge must still approve the agreement. David Schwartz, an attorney for Wohl and Burkman, said his clients are satisfied with the settlement and are “pleased to put this case behind them, so they can focus on their families and careers.” As part of their voter suppression campaign in New York, Wohl and Burkman targeted Black voters in the state through robocalls “falsely claiming that voting by mail would cause the voter to be tracked for outstanding warrants, credit card debt, and mandatory vaccines,” James’ office said. An estimated 5,500 people received the calls. According to James’ office, the script of one such call told recipients in part: “Mail-in voting sounds great, but did you know that if you vote by mail, your personal information will be part of a public database that will be used by police departments to track down old warrants and be used by credit card companies to collect outstanding debts?” Wohl and Burkman have previously faced penalties for running similar schemes elsewhere during the 2020 election. In 2022, an Ohio judge ordered the two men to spend 500 hours registering low- and middle-income voters in the Washington, DC, area after authorities in Ohio accused them of running a voter suppression campaign in multiple states. And in 2021, the Federal Communications Commission proposed a record $5 million fine against them after an investigation found they appeared to have violated US robocalling laws. Other criminal charges against Wohl and Burkman are pending in Michigan. Enter your email to subscribe to the CNN Five Things Newsletter. close dialog
  13. "I'll snap yo' neck 'till it crackles and pops" is one of the greatest rap lines ever, and it's not even real. It's up there with anything that Spinal Tap did. And Good Sir, with all due respect, it's "KRAZEE EYEZ KILLAH"
  14. For the record, IDGAF if Lindsay sucks every cock in every state in the SEC. I just hate that he's a shithead, and he didn't used to be a shithead. He used to be a decent fellow. He sold his soul to the orange devil, and now he's getting it with no lube.
  15. any dipshit in a lowered car with Anime stickers on the windows.
  16. I saw the tits, but never got a look at the gash. How was it?
  17. United Wholesale Mortgage CEO Mat Ishbia is offering a simple explanation for explosive allegations that his company has “corrupted” mortgage brokers in order to cheat “hundreds of thousands of borrowers out of billions of dollars” in fees and costs. Ishbia claims the allegations — made public Tuesday by a company affiliated with a hedge fund that’s taken a short position in UWM, and which also form the basis of a consumer lawsuit against the nation’s largest mortgage lender — have been cooked up by UWM’s fiercest rival, Rocket Mortgage, and its founder, Dan Gilbert. “That’s Rocket Mortgage and Dan Gilbert doing Rocket Mortgage and Dan Gilbert things,” Ishbia told reporters Thursday. “And that’s just what it’s been funded by.” Rocket Mortgage and Hunterbrook Media, the newly-launched media company that published the scathing report on UWM’s alleged business practices, say Ishbia’s accusations are baseless. One of Hunterbrook Media’s founders, Sam Koppelman, called Ishbia’s take “a baseless conspiracy theory” on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Neither Rocket nor Gilbert even agreed to provide us with comment,” Koppelman posted on X. “Ishbia, meanwhile, has yet to point to a single fact we got wrong in our reporting. Mat, up for an interview?” A hedge fund that’s affiliated with Hunterbrook Media, Hunterbrook Capital, has taken a short position in UWM — a bet that the company’s share price will crash. It’s also long on Rocket Companies, meaning it’s bought shares it hopes will increase in value — perhaps fueling Ishbia’s suspicions. (UWM had not responded to a request for comment on the basis of Ishbia’s allegations as of publication time Friday). A spokesperson for Rocket Mortgage told Inman that Gilbert and Rocket have nothing to do with Hunterbrook Media. “Dan Gilbert and Rocket Mortgage have no investment, other financial interests or relationship to Hunterbrook Media,” Rocket Mortgage spokesperson Aaron Emerson said in a statement to Inman. “The professional investigation speaks for itself and appears to be based on factual, public information uncovered by the journalists who conducted the investigation.” The allegations detailed in Hunterbrook Media’s report are serious — and are the basis of a lawsuit seeking class-action status in a federal district court to represent UWM borrowers who were allegedly harmed. In prohibiting mortgage brokers who send borrowers to UWM from sending loan applications to rivals Rocket Mortgage or Fairway Independent Mortgage, the lawsuit alleges that UWM has caused a growing number of mortgage brokers to “artificially steer loans to UWM.” In the process, UWM has violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), the lawsuit alleges.
  18. Yep. The ONLY way to do such a deal is to collect a large enough chunk of up-front cash to cover the payments should the buyer shit the bed. The buyer's payment needs to go to a 3rd party (escrow-ish) that in turn, pays the existing mortgage.
  19. I was doing construction/development loans all over the country
  20. @troph you really should invest the time
  21. I had an employer that did business with a company in Dallas. When we all flew in to DFW for our initial meeting, they took us to lunch...at California Pizza Kitchen.
