2023.04.24 08:42 Poopybuttsuck What's the cheapest option to port my number to for a day or so while waiting for a new sim?

Hello long story short visible customer support is useless. I wrote down my port out pin and account number 5 days ago and didn't realize it was only for 7 days. And now the visible app won't let me into my account even though I'm using bitwarden auto fill so there's no chance of me mistyping. I only have a day and the customer service and the forget password option link just takes me back to the homepage. So I've given up on visible $35 a month isn't worth me hitting my head repeatedly into a wall.
All 3 carriers are good where I live but Verizon is the very best due to all the small cells they have here and the cbrs they have deployed. Att is good but they don't have 5g at the amusement park I go to sometimes and that's not really a problem since I haven't gone recently but If I wanted to it could be a problem. TMobile has a knocking sound on phone calls here I suspect our engineers in Virginia arent that great. Regardless I just want it to be good for a day or so and mint is too expensive because theres a big roaming area near me that I've only been through twice but If I went again I wouldn't be too happy since I don't know the area and would get lost driving through it. And I also don't trust TMobile native coverage in the Shenandoah valley even though I only go a couple times and haven't been in several months and probably won't go back til November when the leaves change. ATT is good I just think it's really expensive because I'm on a single line and I would have to call the port activation center and they might not do it fast enough and my number may be lost forever because of visibles incompetence. Cricket is expensive and I don't care for the salesman there and them charging activation fees and I would probably have to call the port center anyway.
Visible would be perfect if there system didn't try stealing my number and their customer service worked. My area is seriously blanketed in n77 and in the best case scenario I would be on postpaid but I can't afford that single line and no one else would come with me and I don't trust circled in because I don't know them. Everyone in my family is on their own lines despite me recommending countless times that is joining together would save and my best friend is paying metro 60 a month and only uses 5 gbs a month. I've tried helping him but he doesn't listen and I guess he was right this time because visible did screw me over. Us mobile is probably my best bet and I'll get somewhere between 10 and 15 gbs because even though that's more than I need, spectrum goes down a lot and as well I like having the safety net. And as well I'm trying to be better with money and keep my s22 even though I'd prefer a pixel for stock Android.

2023.04.04 16:08 kittehgoesmeow What A Day: Indict Makes Right by Julia Claire & Crooked Media (04/03/23)

"It's unethical for a prosecutor to use a witness who has such a long history of lying." - Trump lawyer Alan Dershowitz, suddenly very concerned about someone lying to law enforcement

Mr. Indict Now

A happy Trump indictment week to us all.
News of Trump’s long-delayed legal accountability have garnered all the expected reactions.
Trump is a grifter; he will always be able to squeeze dollars and media attention out of a scandal or when his back is against the wall. The man is also a career criminal, and rooting for him to continually evade justice out of fear of a momentary bump in his numbers is inexcusable cowardice, no better than an actual political crusade.

Under The Radar

The Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against Fox News is looking increasingly Not Good for the standard bearer of televised disinformation. The Delaware judge overseeing the case ruled on Friday that the case will proceed to a jury trial in mid-April, meaning that the network’s highest-ranking executives and big-name hosts could be compelled to testify about their roles in spreading the Big Lie. Perhaps as significant, Judge Eric Davis also awarded Dominion “summary judgment” on the falseness aspect of the defamation suit, which means jurors at trial will only consider the other element of defamation: malice. Davis ruled that, based on the evidence made public through the proceedings thus far, “none of the Statements relating to Dominion about the 2020 election are true.” He also said that “pure opinion,” which is protected by the First Amendment, does not apply in this case because the false claims were accusations of criminal activity made by newscasters purporting “to be sources of accurate information.”

You Gotta Be Fucking Kidding Me

The United States already allocates an eye-popping portion of its annual budget to the military, but now the line between the larger economy and the Pentagon may get even blurrier. In the past year, the Pentagon has begun providing loans, guarantees, and other financial assistance to technology companies it considers crucial to national security, forms of support beyond standard grants and contracts it normally uses. Now, it has taken things a step further. When Silicon Valley Bank failed in March following a bank run, the Defense Department lobbied the government to issue a bailout to insure its investments. But there was no indication that any Pentagon contractors might have been at risk, nor did any of the major defense contractors like Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing have any cash in SVB. So a bank bailout in the name of “national security” would have both baseless and unprecedented. But that hasn’t stopped the proposition from advancing or picking up influential friends like Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA). Relatedly, Warner was notably one of the Democratic senators who voted to repeal key parts of the Dodd-Frank Act in 2018, which is how this mini-crisis arose in the first place.

"Paying people not to talk about things, hush money, is ordinary in modern America." - Tucker Carlson, #1 anchor on the official Hush Money Network

Chairmen Of The Deplored

Looks like there’s no indictment today. Aw, drat. But that hasn’t stopped the GOP from unleashing a firestorm of lies and invective to protect their golden goose.
No amount of weak protests from Trump’s gang of allies will help him outrun the law, but the mainstream media and even powerful elected politicians also seem to have learned nothing from the past seven years.
When it comes to Trump, how he handles accountability, and how the Republican Party then handles him, we’ve seen all of this before. Sarah Longwell, a vocal GOP critic of Trump and Founder of the Republican Accountability Project said that if Republicans fail to break with the malignant Trump at a time like this, “they’ll have no one to blame but themselves when Trump is the nominee again.” Sound’s a lot like Lindsey Graham’s famous May 2016 tweet “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…and we will deserve it,” doesn’t it? And we all know what happened next.

Under The Radar

Fox News producer Abby Grossberg alleged in a new lawsuit that Fox lawyers tried to get her to take the fall for the network’s repeated airing of conspiracy theories about Dominion Voting Systems by coercing her into giving misleading testimony in the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit. Grossberg alleges that Fox News lawyers coached her and she felt “pressured not to name names or implicate others, in particular prominent male on-air personalities and Fox News executives.” Both Fox and Dominion presented their arguments before Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis. The Judge appeared to be skeptical of Fox’s arguments that they were reporting on Dominion neutrally and do not meet the criteria for “actual malice”, for good fucking reason! Davis said, “To me, it doesn’t seem intellectually honest that you apply actual malice and say there’s neutral reporting privilege…How can you be neutral if you’re knowingly doing false things?” Dominion’s lawyers now have presented ample internal Fox communications that prove the network repeatedly spread slanderous falsehoods and hosted guests who did the same out of fear of losing viewers to its far-right competitors like Newsmax.

What Else?

DOJ prosecutors in the special counsel’s office have procured “compelling” preliminary evidence that disgraced former president Trump knowingly, intentionally misled his own attorneys about his personal retention of classified White House materials.

The city of Torrance, CA, has paid a man in Redondo Beach $750,000 after two police officers allegedly spray-painted a swastika inside his car in 2020. An investigation of the incident led to the discovery of rampant racism and homophobia among Torrance police officers, resulting in prosecutors dismissing dozens of felony cases.
The Georgia state senate passed SB 140 today, which denies transgender youth gender-affirming care and imposes harsh penalties on doctors who attempt to provide such care. The bill now heads to Gov. Brian Kemp for a hateful signature.
Republican Chairman of the House Oversight Committee James Comer has gone two-feet-in on his self-appointed role to investigate every unhinged claim about president Biden and his family, even going so far as to lament that the president’s late son Beau was never investigated. Just a uniquely horrible guy!
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in court today (NOT for the jade eggs you put in your vagina, this time) in response to a lawsuit filed by a 76-year-old retired optometrist who claims Paltrow violently crashed into him while skiing in 2016.
Three former employees of a Virginia mental hospital in Virginia were arrested and charged with second-degree murder last Thursday over the death of a Black man who was transported to the facility from jail earlier this month, and the videotape of the incident was released today.
European Union antitrust regulators raided the Austrian energy company Red Bull on the suspicion that the company is abusing its dominant market share.

What In The World?

Bonner General Health hospital in Sandpoint, ID, announced on Friday that it will no longer provide labor, delivery, and a host of other obstetrician services, citing increasing criminalization of physicians and the inability to retain pediatricians as major contributing factors. Bonner General is the only hospital in a 50-mile radius, and the residents of Sandpoint will now be forced to travel for hours to receive this basic and essential care. The hospital’s leadership made a statement saying that the decision to eliminate the obstetrics unit came from the “political climate” in Idaho, which has caused “highly respected, talented physicians” to leave the state entirely. They continued, “The Idaho legislature continues to introduce and pass bills that criminalize physicians for medical care nationally recognized as the standard of care.” The Dobbs decision legalized a state ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, and Idaho is one of six states that prosecutes doctors for providing the procedure. The Idaho legislature is also terminating its maternal mortality review committee.

"Antifa should party more, riot less." - Finally some fun in the Fox News chyron!!

Straw That Woke The Camel's Back

More bank instability? In this economy??
Yellen and other heads of America’s regulatory institutions are in the hot seat for the time being, but Republicans are, as usual, following their own deranged script.
Even conservative economists and analysts agree that the recent spate of bank failures stemmed from bank mismanagement and the recent financial woes of SVB’s tech and startup client base. But trying to misdirect public attention serves their dual purpose of furthering their hollow culture war while fending off the kinds of regulation that would prevent something similar from happening in the future. Great stuff!!

Under The Radar

Move over, George Santos! There’s a new Republican fraudster in the House. Freshman Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) started a GoFundMe years ago, supposedly to raise money for a children’s burial ground, using an image of a stillborn baby on the page, and imploring “Help us help other families.” The page promised a “burial garden” featuring “a life-size statue of Jesus watching over the children” along with benches where families could sit. He raised almost $25,000. GoFundMe confirmed that Ogles received the money, but the park doesn’t exist, and he won’t say where the money has gone. In fact, he has patently refused to say what he did with the money, and is now naturally portraying himself as the victim, and released a statement saying that people should believe him that he used the money for the appropriate purposes, despite offering no proof.

Special grand jurors in Fulton County, GA, reportedly heard a third recording of a phone call disgraced former president Donald Trump made to a Georgia election official as he tried to overturn his 2020 loss in the state.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and said Syria recognizes the territory of Ukraine the Kremlin has unlawfully annexed as Russian, and that Syria would welcome expanding Russia’s military presence there. Dictators are gonna be dictators, I guess!
The Biden administration has called for TikTok’s Chinese ownership to sell the app or face a possible ban, a significant shift for the White House as it moves to address national security concerns about the app.
Despite the Kremlin’s denials, the Pentagon released a video of a Russian jet dumping fuel on the U.S. drone that was taken down over the Black Sea earlier this week.
French Prime Minister Elizabeth Borne used a special legislative procedure to advance an unpopular pensions bill through the French National Assembly without a vote, spurring calls for her resignation from the country’s parliament.
Everyone’s favorite spiritual girlboss from the 2020 Democratic primary and Joe Biden’s sole 2024 challenger Marianne Williamson has been accused by former campaign staffers of abusive treatment replete with “foaming, spitting rage.” My third eye did not see this coming!

What In The World?

Unions representing more than one-million British health-care workers, such as nurses and paramedics, reached a deal Thursday to pause months of strikes, just days after U.K. treasury chief Jeremy Hunt proposed a budget that contemplates paying them a lump-sum bonus this year, and higher compensation next year. Strikes will be halted while members of the union rank-and-file vote on whether to accept the offer, which Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (whose personal wealth is greater than the Royal Family’s) has also endorsed. Thanks for your input, Rishi. The largest trade union in the country, Unite, lambasted the U.K. government for months of “dither and delay” that caused unnecessary hardships to staff and patients and said it would not recommend the deal, but that it supports members voting on it. Wages lagging record inflation is not limited to the health-care sector. Tens of thousands of teachers, civil servants, and workers in London’s subway system all walked off the job Wednesday. U.K. Health Secretary Steve Barclay said the department would look for cost savings and the funding for higher wages would ultimately be up to the Treasury, and would not come at the expense of patients. Imagine that!

Under The Radar

As the craven Trump-appointed Texas judge weighs whether or not to invalidate the FDA’s long-standing approval of mifepristone, the most widely-used medication to terminate pregnancy, it’s clear that the worst of what we feared after the fall of Roe may be yet to come. Republicans in South Carolina are pushing legislation that would make any person who has an abortion subject to the state’s homicide laws, which are punishable by death. The bill is called the “South Carolina Prenatal Equal Protection Act” and describes anything from an embryo with a handful of cells up to a fully gestated baby as a “person.” South Carolina law hands down death penalty sentences or minimum sentences of 30 years in prison to people convicted of murder. The measure includes no exceptions for rape or incest. Over a dozen Republican lawmakers have co-sponsored the bill. South Carolina hasn’t acted on the measure yet, but Republicans hold control of both houses of the state legislature and the governorship. Thank you once again to everyone who told women they were “exaggerating” about what Republicans would do in a post-Roe world!

Something strange is happening on Pennsylvania Avenue, and it’s not Joe Biden ordering ice cream deliveries in the winter. A slew of real estate sales have occurred two blocks east of the Capitol building, and the properties have a common buyer: allies of disgraced former president Donald Trump. The Conservative Partnership Institute, a nonprofit (sure) led by Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows, bought a total of $41 million in properties just steps from the Capitol, and in the organization’s annual report, CPI announced that its aim is to transform that particular swath of real estate into a sort of MAGA campus it calls “Patriots’ Row.” Republicans are always going on about their disdain for DC and how it is run so it’s interesting that they are taking somewhat clandestine measures to buy up large swaths of it! It’s also borderline unprecedented for a nonprofit to purchase so many properties (nine in the past year!) in such a close proximity (on one street) in such a short period of time. Pro-insurrectionists having headquarters right next to the Capitol doesn’t feel great! FBI, u up?

Russia’s war in Ukraine has been stymied by a strong coalition of Western support for Ukraine, but a Tuesday incident has brought the United States as close as they’ve come to direct conflict.
It increasingly appears that regular citizens of Russia are not feeling the consequences of the war at home.
When Russian President Vladimir Putin began conscripting Russian nationals to fight his war, there was fleeting hope that perhaps the thousands of men who fled the country in defiance of the draft would foil his plans. Time and again, hopes of the war resolving itself quickly or in a predictable fashion have proven idealistic.

Under The Radar

Inflation eased slightly again in February (though it remains high), but the whole “collapse of multiple major banks” thing has drawn renewed scrutiny to the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest-rate hikes. Nevertheless, the Fed is still expected to raise interest rates 0.25 percent next week, and then again in May. In the wake of the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank over the weekend, the Fed and other regulatory agencies are seeking to shore up confidence in the American banking system. One option would be to slow the pace of rate increases in tandem with the slowing pace of inflation, while letting banks run by reckless executives fail without bailouts—a morally just option that would also be anti-inflationary. But Fed Chairman Jay Powell et al seem inclined to do the reverse.. The U.S. economy is in something of a straight jacket: Inflation has decreased but still remains too high, while the labor market remains strong but still vulnerable to more interest rate increases. And for now at least, American consumers still feel the pinch of higher prices.

Australia will once again prohibit Indigenous people in “prescribed areas” from purchasing or possessing alcohol, after trying the “equal rights” thing for a few months. Like many Western governments founded by White colonizers (hello), Australian officials have publicly wrestled with the country’s relationship to Indigenous communities in recent years. And not just the actions of their ancestors, but their own actions. Back in 2007, the Australian government banned alcohol in prescribed areas, and imposed other race-based restrictions on Indigenous Australians. The alcohol ban lapsed last year amid complaints from hundreds of Aboriginal communities that the policy was racist. But now a new uptick in crime in surrounding areas has revived the bad old times of 2022, as the government apparently found no other way to reduce crime in the past 15 years. The resurrected alcohol bans have coincided with another politically charged moment, as the country begins to discuss amending the Australian constitution to enshrine an Indigenous body to advise on policies that affect Aboriginal communities. Decades of race-based, paternalistic policies imposed by White Australian officials over Aboriginal communities, which are largely impoverished due to decades of discriminatory policies, have left many Aboriginal people feeling hopeless. The 2007 ban did not solve any of the underlying issues in Aboriginal communities, and many argue that there is little reason to expect reinstating it will serve as anything other than a bandaid, and a renewed source of stigma.

Is it just me, or is it starting to feel a little 2008 in here?
Okay great, we’re all feeling very confident!!
So what have we learned since 2008? Not enough, apparently! Silicon Valley Bank was poorly supervised thanks to regulatory rollbacks, and employed a risky strategy that maximized short-term profits but made it vulnerable to this exact scenario. Just like in 2008, we watched SVB hand out bonuses to their executives mere hours before the government takeover. How many times will we have to watch the economy brought to the brink of collapse by greedy, nefarious financial actors before elected officials understand that deregulation will always end in disaster?

Trump-appointed federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has been on a tear during the Biden administration, knocking down workplace protections for transgender Americans, agreeing to hear a case brought by anti-vaxxers against major news organizations for not publishing anti-vaxx misinformation, and ruling against the Biden administration on immigration in cases so shoddy even the ultraconservative Supreme Court picked his work apart. His reputation for right-wing hackery has driven many hackish right-wing organizations to file lawsuits specifically in his district, anticipating friendly rulings from Kacsmaryk, then a review from the similarly right-wing Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and then the conservative majority in the Supreme Court. That’s exactly what an anti-abortion group did when it decided to challenge the FDA’s approval of the abortion medication mifepristone,…20 years after the fact. Experts expected Kacsmaryk to side with the anti-abortion groups no matter what, and then. But weeks after the last briefs were submitted, he still hasn’t ruled, and it appears that he is conducting his review more or less in secret. After being accused of this secrecy, Kacsmaryk ordered oral arguments in the case to take place on Wednesday morning, according to a new court filing. The FDA has strongly disputed the anti-abortion group’s claims and argued that pulling mifepristone from the market should its approval be nullified would not only put women’s health at risk, it would also weaken the FDA’s authority. Mifepristone is used in about half of all U.S. abortions.

Fox News has had a rough couple of weeks (haha!) thanks to revelations from a defamation lawsuit brought against them by Dominion Voting Systems. But an even bigger lawsuit against Fox is looming. Fox’s efforts to get the case dismissed have thus far not been successful. Smartmatic claims Fox hosts and guests made over 100 false statements regarding the 2020 election (seems like a conservative estimate!) and that Fox falsely claimed Smartmatic was involved in tallying 2020 election results in six battleground states. Fox also alleged that Smartmatic shared its technology with Dominion, when the two companies are in fact rivals and have no communication with each other. Probably the wildest claim Fox made is that Smartmatic was founded in Venezuela, sanctioned by corrupt dictators, when the company was actually founded in Boca Raton, FL, in 2000 in the wake of the “hanging chad” nightmare, aimed at using technology to restore the public’s faith in election results.

2023.03.13 14:55 hammer_header Melio Fallout Silicon Valley Bank

I’m a small contractor and a client paid me through Melio. It has now been a week since the client made the payment, and 4 days past when Melio said the payment would be in my account. I have filed two support claims that have gone unanswered, and live chat is still not online, an hour past its advertised opening time. Getting nervous, I looked up Silicon Valley Bank, and sure enough, Melio is listed as a client on their homepage. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there any way to contact them outside of their non-existent live chat function?
