I’m really confused… Did you answer my question?

If you buy a derelict house(that no human can possibly live in) and fix it up to a decent standard with the intent to sell it, are you still a piece of shit?

Peace with no occupation would be ideal.

I guess you gotta celebrate the wins when you can no matter how messed up the situation is! :)

I know this isn’t the core of the story but I’m kinda proud of my country (The UK) for not fucking this up.

I think the UK Justice system did it’s job here, albeit keeping him detained for a lengthy duration to do it.

Do we all need a competitor to Alphabet/Google? I’d say yes, I don’t think Alphabet is behaving fairly.

Santander and Caixa are perfect examples of how to terribly handle fraudulent payment disputes. I worked in the industry is it’s kinda well known they don’t even follow scheme (Visa/MC) requirements and when you ask them to escalate to scheme they gaslight you.

Knowing this is the hoops you have to jump through in .es means it makes sense they don’t have a robust anti-fraud process outside of .es.
