Christina Marie Chapman, 49, of Litchfield Park, Arizona, raised $6.8 million in the scheme, federal prosecutors said in an indictment unsealed Thursday. Chapman allegedly funneled the money to North Korea’s Munitions Industry Department, which is involved in key aspects of North Korea’s weapons program, including its development of ballistic missiles.

Part of the alleged scheme involved Chapman and co-conspirators compromising the identities of more than 60 people living in the US and using their personal information to get North Koreans IT jobs across more than 300 US companies.

Dey Terker' Jerbs!

I’d kill for something forcing airbnb, vrbo, etc to actually cooperate.

I'll go one step further, I'd pay taxes to the government that actually regulates shitty business practices. How is it easier to have a 12% increase in homelessness last year than it is to regulate fucking airbnb? Airbnb is not northrup grumman. It's not allied steel. it can go the fuck away.

notice the clear lack of a "controversy" section on Kendricks wikipedia. Drake is the only shitty person in this rap beef

What, never been catfished before? Had plenty of women do this to me on apps. All their pictures show one person, then they show up as a person and a half. After the date I just tell them "thanks but no thanks, you catfished me."

jpreston2005 ,

I don't know what you're trying to imply, that I "blindly" swipe on stereotypically attractive straight women (how would one blindly do that, I wonder), or that I am judgemental? It has happened to me 3 different times. Women using pictures of them before serious weight gain. all 3 cases it was over 100lbs difference between pictures and reality.

Also my type is queer/weird, as I am queer and weird.

jpreston2005 ,
  1. I read the whole profile, not sure why you assume I don't. Probably the same reason you assumed I just "blindly go for stereotypically attractive women".
  2. I have formed friendships from dates as well.
  3. I never said I left a date right away if the woman was catfishing, I always am cordial, finish the date, and then when they ask for another, I say no, and tell them it's because they catfished me.

From everything you've assumed about me, to trying to differentiate how you would act, just screams pick me.

jpreston2005 ,

because of your baseless accusations lmao
sound like someone straight out of female dating strategy

jpreston2005 ,

lol sorry about your weight

jpreston2005 ,

wow now you;re suddenly on the defensive? why I wonder? you need therapy.

jpreston2005 ,

I usually eat holistically, with nutrition coming from whole grain meals, I guess you just blindly go for carb-centric meals 🙄
I also always tip at restaurants, not sure why others wouldn't...

When I was younger I spent an afternoon hanging out with my grandfather. We sat on the porch of my fathers house smoking cigarettes. My mom came outside and asked me to clear the fallen leaves off the porch. Well, young me went to the garage and pulled out the awesome backpack leaf blower my Dad had. Proceeded to spend a few very noisy minutes trying to get some leaves out of a corner, when my grandfather laughed and said, "you know, sometimes the harder way is easier." and handed me a broom. Took all of a 5 minutes to sweep everything off nicely, whereas I was getting nowhere blowing leaves every which way.

I don't even own a leaf blower now, don't need one.

It's funny because he thinks that his status as a "gray" would protect him from the "reds." just another useful idiot for fascism.

jpreston2005 ,

This is so cool. Can we pretty please not mistreat them, so as to delay the inevitable robot rebellion? Or at the very least, can we join their rebellion? asking for a friend

jpreston2005 ,

where do you buy your tickets?

jpreston2005 ,

funnily enough, we already had an abbreviation for "IOW" (In Other Words), "I.E." (Id Est - That Is)

jpreston2005 ,

I THOUGHT it looked weird capitalized, but the other guy capitalized IOW so I figured "When In Rome"

"A dream. It's perfect": Helium discovery in northern Minnesota may be biggest ever in North America (www.cbsnews.com)

"A dream. It's perfect": Helium discovery in northern Minnesota may be biggest ever in North America::For a century, the U.S. Government-owned the largest helium reserve in the country, but the biggest exporters now are in Russia, Qatar and Tanzania. With this new discovery, Minnesota could be joining that list.

right or wrong, you're an asshole. Nobody did anything but disagree with you, you're the only one insulting strangers. Quit being an ass.

This would be cool expanded to fit window panes in your home. I know I've enjoyed putting on the youtube Yule-tide fireplace on my TV to make the home more cozy in the winter, it'd be even cooler to turn "winter" mode on in your windows, really complete the hygge feeling

jpreston2005 ,

They touched on something that could pave the way for a new and better dating app experience. Let your exes rate you. This tell your would-be dater 1. they aren't such a POS that everyone they date ends up hating them, and 2. Would provide the real info that you'd like to see on dating profiles.

jpreston2005 ,

I really don't think everyone would have a high rating lol

but yeah, not sure how one would screen the review, maybe they have to upload a picture of you guys kissing and that let's you rate them? Who knows, but I'd trust that info more than what someone put on there themselves

jpreston2005 ,

it would really weed out all the people who want oral, but never reciprocate... That alone is worth it lmao

jpreston2005 ,

wait till you hear about trains, subways, buses, and bicycles

jpreston2005 ,

Oh shit I only mentioned bicycles like some idiot shilling for driverless cars, my b

planes don't pick you up from your doorstep? since when? but they can fly?

Across America, clean energy plants are being banned faster than they're being built (www.usatoday.com)

Across America, clean energy plants are being banned faster than they're being built::The clock is ticking toward a deadline to meet renewable-energy standards. But USA TODAY's analysis finds local governments banning wind turbines, solar plants.

jpreston2005 ,

I had my conservative professor uncle tell me we can't use windmills because "they use up all the wind."

imagine having to explain to your elders that wind isn't some finite resource.

jpreston2005 ,

no, wind is not a finite resource. it's produced by the heating and cooling of the earth. Wind turbines aren't doing anything to stop the sun from coming up and going down.

jpreston2005 ,

SnapChat, Microsoft, and twitter.

Those are the three.

jpreston2005 ,

shit I have a pair of inflatable twin mattresses that can be joined together. open up my sleeping bag, put it down as base warmth, with a pillow and another cozy blanket... That pretty much meets the definition

jpreston2005 ,

Man, I love the self checkout. Also didn't they already show that rising costs everywhere WEREN'T from theft, but instead corporations artificially inflating their prices during the pandemic and then leaving it there?

Take away my self checkout, and I'll steal out of spite

jpreston2005 ,

that's already happening on just about every dating app though
