It looks like someone with a backpack was trying to get away from them in the very first second of the video.
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.
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.
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
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.”
For the other way around:
Wedding cake looks great but usually tastes awful (compared to other cake). These cakes are usually drier, or are starting to get old by the time they get eaten.
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.

to draw from so much stupid shit in his head as inspiration to make jokes and be quirky. As a result he is fucken hilarious. But let's imagine a different Chris, let's say instead of cartoons and stupid shit, his information diet was stocks and investing advice. And for 5 years that's all he consumed. Do you think he'd be just as funny as he currently is? No. He in my opinion wouldn't even be 20% as funny. If you're a writer or director you really need to monitor and perfect your information diet. If your diet is not correct, you won't have a good pulse on culture. I don't want you to be a chris, in fact, I think that would probably do you harm. Talent needs to inhale cartoons so they can be funny, writers need to inhale inspiration. Let's say there is a purple fruit in the middle of Australia that when eaten makes you 2 feet taller. If it truly did exist, you wouldn't have known that until just right now. But now that you know of it, you can draw on it for inspiration for every piece of content you write going forward. That's beautiful, it can now sit in the back of your mind waiting for that one video where it is needed. It might take 10 videos or even 100 but eventually you'll be brainstorming a bit and think of the right one to use the fruit for. Apply this to everything on this fucken planet. You. Can't. Get. Inspired. By. Things. You. Don't. Know. Exist. So how do you learn more about what's out there in the world? How do you stay up to date on the latest memes? How do you know what's going on with celebrities? What's trending on youtube? What other creators are doing? What's popping on tik tok? Your information diet. Consume things on a daily basis that help you write better content.
It's okay for the boys to be childish
If talent wants to draw a dick on the white board in the video or do something stupid, let them. (assuming they know all the risks and arn't missing context on why it's not safe) People like when we are in our natural element of stupidity. Really do everything you can to empower the boys when filming and help them make content. Help them be idiots
We don't fake things
Make sure to prep contestants and try to create an environment where they feel comfortable talking.
If you want your votes to be (somewhat) private, probably the best thing to do is to create an alternative account and use that for voting without making any comments/posts.
PieFed also gives you an option so that your votes are only shared within the same instance. So, tools like "lemvotes" wouldn't be able to pick up on your voting history. In that case only the local instance Admins (and maybe moderators) would be able to see your voting history.
From this user it is fairly obvious that it was created recently. They downvoted 49 times in the first few minutes of activity. They then upvoted once a few days later.

Based on the first day of activity, it almost does look like this was an account created just for downvoting.

Adding onto this, the reason they press charges against the money instead of you is that, in the US, you would be innocent until proven guilty. They get around this by "charging the money" instead in which case it can be considered "guilty" until proven innocent.
What happens next is that you would have to sue them to prove the money/property innocent in court to get it back. Additionally you can't sue and recover legal fees. So, if they only confiscated a few thousand dollars, you would likely spend more money trying to win in court than you would get awarded in the end.
It's also worth noting, there's an incentive for the TSA to tip off DEA agents to sieze the cash because the DEA will then share some of the money back to the TSA. Likewise for local/state police, even if they can't sieze it under local laws, they can sieze it for some federal law and then the cash will be split between the law enforcement agency that siezed it and some federal agency.

The Avatar movie depicts what could happen in a scenario where we find intelligent life, but we're the more advanced civilization.
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.
Nothing wrong with citing the source.
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]
https://wikipedia.org/wiki/DogPack404#cite_ref-173
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHFvR0ArXPs
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.
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.
I've never heard of Falun Gong until now, but looking into it, the 2 groups don't seem to be related.
Closest thing to that is the Consumer Rights Wiki: https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Main_Page
No, I've actually never had phrases get stuck in my head. Nowhere near the way songs do at least.
