Downvoting means something different to everyone. It could just be that they felt you didn’t add to the conversation well with a simple LOL and some emojis.
Some people downvote whenever they see an emoji.
I doubt anyone is downvoting because they “disagree” with you on this case, since the one user that actually downvoted the post didn’t even downvote you.
I would just ignore these downvotes and move on.
Most people actually agree on the same thing once you get down into the details of abortion. For some reason everyone likes to lump themselves into “pro-life” or “pro-choice” camps and then argue about the extreme takes from either side.

There was a former employee for MrBeast (Donaldson) who posted 2 very long videos about his time working for him:
Allegations from DogPack404 On July 24, 2024, former employee DogPack404 posted a YouTube video accusing Donaldson of staging contests, running illegal lotteries, falsifying signatures, and misleading viewers.[172][173][174] He followed with an interview of former staffer Jake Weddle, who described being denied sleep during productions, said the team employed Jake Franklin’s brother-in-law despite his status as a registered sex offender, and alleged that a cameraman tried to intoxicate female participants with paint fumes.[174] Weddle identified the cameraman as “Delaware”, claiming Donaldson knew about his conviction, which stemmed from an incident when Delaware was 16 and the victim was 11.[175]

The videos he posted are long (~51 and 54 min), but he does comment a lot on MrBeast’s character while making his case against him. His second video focuses a lot more on this and he brings in another former employee while showing off some screenshots of others who wanted to remain more anonymous.

He mentioned a part 3 video, but never posted it.
On the other side, Legal Eagle offers a shorter video, focused only on the legal aspects of the DogPack’s allegations in the first video. Basically, MrBeast is likely protected by whatever waivers he has his employees/contestants sign.
I’ve never heard of Falun Gong until now, but looking into it, the 2 groups don’t seem to be related.
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
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:
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.”
This can also have the opposite effect. There are a number of cases where the wrong person has been arrested simply for sharing a name with someone else that has a warrant for their arrest.
