No, I've actually never had phrases get stuck in my head. Nowhere near the way songs do at least.

If you're concerned about privacy, you should probably know that a lot in the fediverse is very open by design so that other instances can communicate effectively.

That's why everyone can see what you upvote/downvote, even if Lemmy itself doesn't show this to you in its UI.

It looks like someone with a backpack was trying to get away from them in the very first second of the video.

Link to video when he made the same statement almost a year ago:

Not just mods, but sometimes even instance Admins. This is one of the main reasons why so many left .ml

Nothing wrong with citing the source.

Definitely watch this statement from him as well:

The video featured in this post (not the fault of @slothrop@lemmy.ca) was edited in a way to make it look like he was making direct threats to ICE.

From the article, this doesn't sound like a scam specific to Uber/Ride shares.

What we know:

• "an Uber driver who he wrongly thought was trying to rob him after scam phone calls deceived them both"
• "wrongly assuming she was in on a plot to get $12,000 in supposed bond money for a relative, authorities said."
• "The driver fell victim to the same scammer, driving to Brock’s home between Dayton and Columbus to pick up a package for delivery, according to investigators."

There are a lot of ways to scam people over the phone: tech-support/refund scams, Scams where legal action is threatened unless you pay (ex: IRS scams), emergency money requests from friends in trouble (ransom scams, bond scams, etc), pig butchering scams (a.k.a romance scams or when you get that random text from someone pretending to reach out to the wrong number), employment scams.

Since we know that the man fell for a bond scam, it's likely that the Uber driver was scammed into working as a money laundering mule for the real scammers. It's very likely that the Uber driver had fallen for one of the other scams and then she was told to pick up packages where she could earn some of "her" money back. She would get more as long as she only took a certain amount and forwarded on the rest. Either that, or she was scammed into working for a "company" where "clients" send in packages of money, and she transfers it to different accounts as well as a little to her own.

Edit: formatting

Closest thing to that is the Consumer Rights Wiki: https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Main_Page

Misleading title, GoFundMe is currently reviewing the fundraisers. The concern here is that the fundraising page has attempted to edit out some of the language that goes against their ToS. It should be obvious what this fundraiser is actually for. I'll withold my judgement until they make an official statement on the matter.

Anyone know how long it usually takes for them to take down a popular fundraiser like this?

From the article:

In an email, a GoFundMe spokesperson told WIRED on Sunday night that it was in the process of reviewing all fundraisers tied to the shooting. “During the review process, all funds remain safely held by our payment processors,” the spokesperson said. “GoFundMe’s Terms of Service prohibit fundraisers that raise money for the legal defense of anyone formally charged with a violent crime. Any campaigns that violate this policy will be removed.”
