Players selling comp tickets? My understanding is that the punishment for that is getting the hammer dropped on you so hard that the program spends 30+ years in the wilderness. 🤔

As an NC State and Falcons fan, the schadenfreude is hitting on like three different levels.

I agree, tricking a kid into attending UNC is a heinous crime and nobody should be allowed to do it.

This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

it was in this moment, where the infamous white nationalist followed by the vice president of the united states shared the cartoon show that neo-Nazis had made about me, that I realized the modern world had gone mad and must end

It's interesting that two straight Toho live-action Godzillas have ended with a nod towards Godzilla/human DNA mashups (with somewhat different implications, but still). Stop teasing us and just go there.

Chris Person @papapishu.bsky.social · 3d

I love looking up where Shin Godzilla was going before they told Anno to calm down. “Godzilla was gonna split into two Godzillas. Parts of his flesh were gonna drip off and form into Godzilla heads. A race of Godzilla people would erupt from his flesh and wage war on man.”

That this has been a disaster should not be a surprise to anyone familiar with the decision making acumen of the UNC Board of Trustees, who make every other GOP-controlled group in NC look sane and functional by comparison.

I am always struck by how the true unifying characteristic of these manosphere influencers is that they’re all dumb as rocks.

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

One of the funny things going on in this space is that the couriers are frequently doing data entry errors where they input a value in the wrong currency (i.e., entering a 5000 yen item as 5000 USD) and generate an insane tariff bill.

lauren @lauren.rotatingsandwiches.com · 5d

this is like half of r/ups now

Hi Andrew,

You have a new invoice for $63,755.71

Tariff Fee on T Shirt

Total Due: $83.27

Government Charges: $59.27
Brokerage Charges: $24.00

How to go about disputing an incorrect tariff charge?

Total Due: $82.92

Government Charges: $68.92
UPS Brokerage fees: $14.00

I’ve received 15 different duties and tariff charges for items I didn’t order.
Customer Seeking Help
The title is the crux of the issue. Over the past 3 weeks I’ve received numerous brown envelopes all charging me for duty and tariff fees associated with items that I never ordered.

The seller is somebody I’ve bought from before, but the last time I purchased from them was several months ago and my name is on the sold to slot. The “shipped to” person is someone I don’t know and the address and tracking address are both unrelated to me.

I’ve sent emails to an address given to my by the one time I was able to get through the phone number listed on the paper bill. They said the invoices will be removed in 4-6 weeks but now I’ve started receiving late fee bills on top. I’ve tried to call in again once a day, but I either get hung up on or my call drops once the wait lasts over an hour.

Any advice? I just don’t want this to go to collections or affect my credit for something I didn’t order or have any relation to besides my name being on something it shouldn’t have.

The afterglow from the UK visit wearing off is probably contributing to this one.

Everyone likes to get conspiratorial about this, but my theory is still that because he fundamentally doesn't enjoy the job he sometimes gets in his feelings and just watches TV and pouts for a few days instead of working.
