  @purplepickle743 @lifeofpkay_ Send PayPal ;) But really, it's always the same with these people. They are obviously always eating/drinking more calories, say they aren't, and then turn down any help with tracking. They have to know they're blatantly lying, no? I don't get it.

  The version being told isn't the whole story; little is said about his bad practices regarding the conditions he attached to my payment for these thumbnails. Initially, he hired me simply to adapt thumbnails from Roblox to Fortnite—a task I accepted because we had worked together previously without issues. He never mentioned that making them "work" (pass the game's automated checks) would be a condition for getting paid for work already completed. The issue isn't whether I could make them work or not—even though he repeatedly claimed they didn't, filing over a dozen disputes on PayPal (every single payment was disputed), which is already suspicious. In reality, @MalakiDZN himself helped me get them working; furthermore, I could see for myself that some versions *did* work, yet he would simply ask for extra changes, arguing they failed even after I’d tested them all. That’s when I tested them myself and—yes—saw that some versions worked fine. So, the problem wasn't that they failed; I even attached proof of them working to the PayPal dispute. Another important point is that, as I said, he hired me to adapt concepts from Roblox to Fortnite without mentioning the conditions he kept adding later—conditions I never agreed to. We even made a deal where he would pay if I modified just one more thumbnail, but when I did, instead of honoring the agreement and paying, he added yet another request. The mere fact that he disputed *every* payment contradicts his narrative; he even disputed a "remaining" balance payment. Usually, if you aren't satisfied, you just stop working with someone—you don't keep asking for more thumbnails. (It’s worth noting he even disputed a payment for a Fortnite background—which is bizarre, since backgrounds don't even go through the similarity-check process, yet it was still disputed.) Finally, on PayPal, he argued that I had likely just plagiarized work and made minor tweaks, claiming that was why the game flagged it. Any creator knows that isn't how it works; the system relies on colors, shapes, composition, and other subjective visual elements—and sometimes it doesn't even let... ...creators using their own previously used thumbnails—plus, the whole thing would have been impossible given that he had me adapt Roblox concepts that didn't exist in Fortnite. I even provided all the PSD files, so I fulfilled the job requirements—and even went beyond what was required, doing things we hadn't originally agreed upon. As I’ve stated here, there is proof for everything, and it is all attached as evidence to resolve this matter. One thing has become clear to me since I posted my tweet yesterday—even though I didn't explicitly mention it at the time—is that there are other people who have gone through this same situation with him, and they can back me up on this.

  @wood_bespoke 🤦 If I could login I wouldn't be asking. If I could cancel my card it wouldn't be a problem. But the details on the PayPal account are completely unknown and use an old phone number so I can't login and they won't talk to me on the phone because I can't answer the questions, the direct debit is not a card payment it's a bank payment straight from my account. I will find the time and do an hour on the phone to the bank but that's the thing I wanted to avoid. It's the only way to sort it.

  Dogecoin has always had something most tokens spend years trying to buy, actual cultural distribution. Everyone knows the name, that was never the problem. The problem was always the same one @RobinhoodCrypto is solving from the other direction. Distribution without real infrastructure underneath it just sits there. House of Doge just partnered with Paxos to plug DOGE into the rails already running PayPal, Venmo, and Interactive Brokers. That’s hundreds of millions of existing users one integration away from being able to actually use it, not just recognize it. Distribution has always been the hard problem in crypto. DOGE solved that part a decade ago by accident. Whether the infrastructure catches up is the more interesting question now, same one we’re watching everywhere else.

  @RllyMyHope It seems like it’s not working right now… They said it would take some time to fix it. Also, I noticed that Wise was newly added as a payment option instead of PayPal. I was able to purchase it through Weidian, though…

  the human's answer: paypal "can't judge the quality of a service." the problem was my "expectations." case stays closed. my expectations. water was dripping on the charging station of a boat at sea. liveaboards have burned down for less… it happened in many boats when i was in Thailand. there were moments I honestly wished I could just get off that boat. the operator and the boat won't take responsibility either. my partner and I paid over €2,000 for this + €600 cash we paid onboard that they refused even giving us an invoice and I never asked about quality: the route SOLD is not the route DELIVERED. that's the textbook definition of "not as described."

  I bought $PYPL on Monday. PayPal received got a 60.50 takeover bid from Stripe and Advent. Management called it inadequate. The stock is down more than 80% from its 2021 peak, retiring 12% of its stock a year at 11x earnings. And now, maybe, a bidding war. I only looked because I was recently asked to pay someone by PayPal. I thought: PayPal?? Then I pulled up the chart. Edison said that to have a great idea, you have to have a lot of them. You can't wake up and stumble onto your best stock pick. So I audition a lot of stocks, kill most of them cheaply, and press the few that work by giving myself a way to add to my winning positions. The edge in investing is not so much in finding the idea. It's what you do with it once it starts working, and how fast you cut it when it doesn't. PayPal came off exactly that process. There is a good narrative, a good chart, a good valuation, and I made an entry. It's one of seven oddball positions I added to the portfolio this week, which don't really fit neatly into any of the portfolio's themes. I share the report, and place the Paypal pick for free.

  @eliana_jordan @kwawmannanjnr a major problem for sure. Paypal is not known for robust dispute practices and they don't claim to be. If your first time to Egypt... sucks but this is not abnormal for Red Sea excursions. Unless you have strong connections with people in the region refrain from putting yourself in risky situations like this in the future. Its a painful experience and not comfy at all. sucks. Reddit, trip advisor are your friend.

  .@Rabois says "99% of everything that matters" for a company is the CEO.⁣ ⁣ "If you have the right CEO, things that people believe to be impossible are very possible and sometimes probable."⁣ ⁣ "If you have the wrong CEO—almost nothing else matters."⁣ ⁣ "@vkhosla taught me this lesson in a pithy way, which is, 'The team you build is the company you build.'" "It's really easy to get distracted with everything else, like the product, the market, technology, but ultimately it comes down to the people." ⁣ "If you can marshal a critical density of talent—you have a shot at winning. That's what we did at PayPal. We had an unusual density of talent, were able to sustain that density of talent—and we were able to accomplish things that other people wouldn't have been able to."

  @annbauerwriter I've never run into that problem but I can see how it would happen. A lot of people are moving away from cash or checks. I do some digital money such as Zelle and PayPal but only with trusted vendors. For you it sounds like it now needs to be an up front question.

  @Shopify FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Disconnect Paypal from new stores by default. @PayPal is the world's worst. You're literally giving new stores an issue to deal with straight out the gate with this default integration and payment acceptance.

  The more you watch Elon, the more obvious it becomes how much one person can shift the trajectory of humanity He is not playing the same game as everyone else Most people try to optimize for “How will this look?” Elon keeps returning to these questions • Is it true? • Does it violate the laws of physics? • Does it move humanity forward? That mindset explains everything That’s why he bought 𝕏 and turned it into the platform where truth shines brightest That’s why he kept building rockets even after the world called the explosions failures That’s why Tesla and SpaceX pushed manufacturing deeper into America instead of treating production as someone else’s problem That’s why he’s building Grok to relentlessly pursue truth That’s why Starship exists: not to make a slightly better rocket, but to make humanity multiplanetary.....just think about the scale People think Elon’s secret is money If money were the goal the story could have ended when PayPal sold to eBay. He was already enormously wealthy Instead he put everything back into problems that looked impossible and came close to losing it all multiple times while solving some of humanity’s hardest challenges That is the part most people still underestimate Without Elon pushing through years of brutal hard work and building what others called impossible none of what you see today would exist He is not optimizing for the next quarter His goal has always been to move humanity forward
