**The Dark Side of Wedding Loans: A Financial Trap**

As I sat down to write about this topic, I couldn't help but think of the countless couples who have fallen victim to the allure of wedding loans. It's a financial trap that seems too good to be true, and yet, it's all too real. The idea is simple: lenders will give you a loan to cover your wedding expenses, with interest rates as low as 2%, guaranteed approval, and flexible repayment terms. Sounds like a dream come true, right? Well, not so fast.

**The Reality of Wedding Loans**

In reality, most wedding loans are nothing more than predatory lending schemes designed to make money off unsuspecting couples. With loan amounts ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, and interest rates that can be as high as 10%, these loans are essentially a form of debt trap. And the worst part? Many lenders will give you a loan despite your credit score or financial history.

I remember a time when banks wouldn't even lend out money for something like this. There was always some sort of catch, some sort of requirement that the couple had to meet before they could qualify for a loan. But now, with the rise of online lending platforms, it's become easier than ever to get a wedding loan with little to no credit check.

**The Stats are Alarming**

But don't just take my word for it. The statistics are downright alarming. According to some estimates, 50% of these loans will default. That means that nearly half of all couples who take out a wedding loan will end up struggling to pay them back. And what's even more disturbing is that many lenders know this and still lend out money anyway.

I couldn't help but think about how this has become so normalized in our society. We're living in a time where it's okay to just borrow money without thinking about the consequences. We're willing to take on debt for things like weddings, which are supposed to be happy times, not financial struggles.

**The Psychology of Wedding Loans**

There's something psychologically fascinating about these loans. On one hand, you want to make your partner happy and create a magical day that everyone will remember. But on the other hand, you know that taking out a loan is a risk. You're essentially putting yourself into debt for something that might not even bring you the happiness you think it will.

I looked at some quotes from people who had taken out wedding loans, and one thing that struck me was how often they mentioned that they felt pressured to take out the loan. They said things like, "We needed a magical day," or "We didn't want to disappoint our guests." It's almost as if we're telling ourselves that it's okay to take on debt for something that might not even be worth it.

**The Creator of Deep Face and AI-Generated Nudes**

On a completely unrelated note, there was another story in the news about an app called Deep Face, which uses AI-generated nudes. The creator took down the app after server overload and potential harms were reported. While this story might seem disconnected from wedding loans at first glance, it's actually a warning sign of what can happen when technology gets out of control.

**The Rise of AI-Generated Nudes**

Deep Face was an app that used adversarial networks to create nude photos of women. The problem with this app was that it only worked for women and not men. This is because the creators didn't have enough man nudes to make the network work. But what's even more disturbing is that the app could manipulate the image of a woman, making her look like a completely different person.

The author of the article had used about 50 pictures of Taylor Swift and said it did an incredible job with it. However, the app was eventually taken down after it crashed all its servers due to high demand. The creator apologized for any harm caused and promised not to do this again.

**Student Loans: A Safer Debt**

While wedding loans might seem like a bad idea, there's another debt that's even more concerning: student loans. These loans are guaranteed by the federal government, which means they can't be discharged in bankruptcy or hardship. This makes them essentially impossible to get rid of if you fall behind on payments.

But at least with student loans, there's some safety net in place. If you're struggling to pay your student loan debt, you might be able to have it reduced or forgiven after a certain period. But with wedding loans, there's no such safety net.

**Bernie Sanders and Taxpayers**

Even Bernie Sanders, who has been vocal about his disdain for corporate greed, seems like he'd rather just pay for these loans himself. The problem is that we're all paying for it through our tax dollars anyway. It's not like we have a choice in the matter.

As I finished writing this article, I couldn't help but feel frustrated with the state of affairs when it comes to wedding loans. We need to take a step back and think about what we're doing here. Are we really putting ourselves into debt for something that might not even bring us happiness? Is this really worth it?

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit's Friday July 5th the day after and we're we're hoping that you're still in a meat coma from yesterday because July 4th is all about eating meat until you pass out and why would you have a side when you can add more meat mmm s'more by explosions but meat is important meat and explosion they've outlawed explosions pretty much everywhere it is it is sort of descriptive of the world we live in where most of the fireworks are illegal in most places to celebrate the freedoms that our country gave us you know how unsettling it is when you go to Walmart and you buy a bag of fertilizer and as soon as it's like OOP and then it's just yeah I know the cashier has to like put in a code to make it stop beeping could you buy a bag of fertilizer and everybody knows that the best way to ring in the freedom of the birth of our country with fertilizer bombs everybody's googling well let's not worry about that let's not worry about the erosion of our freedoms let's talk about social media because that's what the new world is all about Facebook our Terms of Service are less confusing now really seen it says the social network isn't changing its policies it's just trying to explain the better it's like look you're the product you tell us stuff and then we use that to sell you stuff how complicated is this also what is this stock photo that seems like something Facebook Commission is this supposed to be a firework explosion there's that a flower now I think it's just like some abstract watercolor it's terrible if crystal were here she would concret eke it but she's not here I don't know what that says but yeah they are you know they've got they see the writing on the wall they really do the government's are nipping at their heels and not even nipping they're taking chunks big chunks this is writing on the wall or in the end of month analytics report it says it do they still call it your wall yeah on Facebook yeah writings on the wall I get it the writing is not on the wall and it's good no it's using them all so they're doing everything they can to kind of change their image but they can't really change the problem because that's their business model so I guess this is one way of doing it right you just rewrite some stuff and their terms of service we need more ethical companies involved in the scouring your data to figure out how to use it to make money off of you that's really what it comes to yeah I don't think those go together now Facebook up until this point has been like most of the other companies at least when it comes to lip service they like to talk about how they're on your side when it comes to privacy right I mean yeah we're gonna scrape and sell your data but we would never give it to anybody else except a camera generally okay and one of the big hills that they usually will try to die on is with the government right if the government comments for you we will stand in the way because we don't want to get that reputation but Facebook may have finally given in in a world-first Facebook to give data on hate speech suspects to French ports these are I P addresses and computers and accounts of things that may have been involved in hate speech as its defined in France which is a bit scary which probably points out some of the immigration problems that they're having in France because that's evil and hate speech and you will be prosecuted for it and mr. Zuckerberg will essentially be testifying against you I think that the prosecutors the French prosecutors in this case laid a pretty brilliant trap for Facebook in this case because if the Facebook didn't turn it over which seems like what the prosecution was expecting then that opens up the door to more regulation and fines and things like all they're not self-regulating they don't understand how things work here in France it's very very interesting sort of damned if you do damned if you don't situation that Facebook was in but the moral of the story is for the love of God don't post anything on Facebook that is even mildly controversial his not say I don't care how strongly you feel about it don't do it what do you hope to accomplish yeah really that's you know it's like the whole arguing with people on the internet and I used to term people but the real-time or something else the other thing about Facebook is through all these scandals and all these headlines you have to wonder how are they still surviving but you know a quarter after quarter we see their numbers and they're like now look at these user numbers we're actually slowly putting on new users we're not losing people at all things are going well but perhaps that's not the metric we should be looking at please pick a usage following after privacy channels data suggests I could actually such as likes and shares are down nearly twenty percent though user numbers are still growing here's a helpful tip for you those user numbers are growing it lookout spots so anytime you want a community to look like it's growing like crazy you just turn off the controls we keep BOTS out and then all of a sudden it's like we got all these new user accounts this is amazing you know where else likes and shares are plummeting love one takes a hold of YouTube I guess we're trying oh there goes our ad blocker when you work at Facebook you are probably self aware all right you recognize what's going on and it's bad especially if you work in the censorship department where you have to try and look at all the horrible stuff like we talk about this we clear those are contractors who did not post apply of course but you know we talked about last week you're watching suicides and people killing pets and rapes and things like that all day long and some people have taken interesting routes to vent that frustration a Facebook contractor was reportedly fired for posting Bruce Springsteen lyrics on their internal network in as a response to something that Facebook the executives have posted about we're going to you know try to improve the situation and make sure everybody can earn a little bit more money I didn't the the Bruce Springsteen lyrics not be familiar with them myself didn't really have the same gravity but uh if you read them literally it might have seemed like a veiled threat which is why they fought but I don't think that was really the context Bruce Springsteen's music is very like small-town blue-collar suffering type of thing like you know the rich old man running the factory is keeping us down and killing us and not paying us enough and the government and you know blah blah blah and I can see how a company would be a little bit threatened by that hmm but I think you're right in terms of this is one of those situations where they're like wait a minute is this is shooter do we I don't understand what's going on here is this a shooter it's a shooter isn't it get rid of him okay we can't have that can't happen I don't think it won't but that's fine no because they said they were worried yeah that he would be a threat to the workplace they're worried that his line of thinking might catch on well I don't think that that's not the thing that they were selling they were selling like no this man is a literal threat yeah but yeah there was probably a lot of that too or it's like now this sounds like Union talk we're talking about the European Union and all those European countries and they've figured out that Facebook is basically a cash register what did you do wrong yeah here you go and they're all in debt so it's real easy when things don't add up at the end of the month just walk over it and take some money out of the cash register and the latest one is Italy Italy has stung Facebook with a 1.1 million dollars five for Cambridge analytic a day to misuse that seems great it's like you mean to tell me like if I were running Facebook it's like you even tell me that if I just give you a million dollars that's it and that's the end of it for this whole Cambridge analytical thing and all of Italy that sounds good like a great deal this was the pre GDP our numbers no they're limited to what they can take but yeah I think they were just getting what they could next time around it will be quite a bit more but we'll Facebook have learned a lesson and I think we all know the answer events don't think so oh this is the one I couldn't read the Financial Times was just like nah I almost cut this one it's it's kind of a rehash of so it's about Facebook in there Libre coins that's Facebook co-founder Libre coin would shift the power into the wrong hands this is like we already talked about this really but this this talks about Libre coin in places where Libre coin actually would be worth more than their currency well it's the the idea it's not necessarily worth more but I think it's corrections law good money bad money forces out good and so the idea is you would always trade your local currency for Libre especially if Libre goes into a mania like Bitcoin yeah because not only is it more stable and backed by better currencies but you're immune to capital controls and hyperinflation so the co-founder loves to crap on Facebook that's like I think he probably likes being in you know in the spotlight a little bit and no one cares about him cuz he's the co-founder you know he's like the the Pete best of the Facebook that's the fifth Beatle they kicked him out right before they hit and so his whole life but he actually released an album called best of the Beatles because his name was Pete best he was just trying to write you so uh the that guy just loves to be in the spotlight so they call him like got a sound bite on those things like yeah let's see what do they want to hear it's bad you know but he's probably not wrong however all his arguments point out what every other crypto currency has advertise themselves as like yeah yeah this is the problem here's how we're gonna work around it capital controls are a problem here's how we're gonna work around that so Facebook probably isn't want to say that because that would be against what's what's what's stopping people from doing that now with Bitcoin just that that's more legit because the larger remains are involved yeah and well think about okay you're a Greek peasant and you're gonna explain to your aging grandmother you're trying to send all your money to in another country no you got to download a wallet and if you have a hundred gigabytes of free space is you need to get all of the past's blockchain and download it and then I'm gonna say okay there's a hundred digit code that you've got to give me and it has to be exactly right yeah that's but with Facebook it's just like you know here you go take it that's all the Facebook news if you hated that it's over I'm Steve I'm sorry now let's talk about YouTube and the YouTube recommendations which are oft maligned before leading you down dark path we've literally complained about this I can't tell you how many times so one bard is saying YouTube lets users override recommendations after criticism listen it's not the criticism people have been criticizing this for the better part of 10 years it's like you go and you get channels and your recommendation and it's like I don't want to see this terrible channel that has like it's just like I don't know it's like the clickbait viral terrible terrible stuff stuff it's like on the trending tab usually it's pretty bad and so you're like I don't want to see the channel over again and it's like cool cool then you reload the page it's like hey you wanna see this it's like that's from that channel that I just told you I do not want to see and so finally somebody pointed out that a lot of the a lot of the stuff that is recommending it stuff that the algorithm thinks is highly engaging but that's actually the worst sort of content and so now YouTube is like you know what we should maybe respect what people ask for so now you can blacklist an entire Channel and I just simply will never show it to you again please do this for Google music oh my god in the recommended new releases you can down vote every song by the artist and it would be like hey here's a recommended they release it's that thing that you hate and you can't get rid of them I don't understand why it makes no sense it's terribly done that's engagement you're clear that you're engaging with those things that's that's that it's great in the eyes of the algorithm is so what I mean isn't that just the literal like is this what Kefka warned us about like yeah but also in YouTube news I mean ever since rap has existed I mean you had like that Grandmaster Flash type stuff which was more upbeat but rap didn't really hit til they started talking about killing cops and dealing drugs that was real rap and it always will be if I have anything to say about it and in the UK because they are under a more oppressive government they don't rap about shooting people because they can't they rap about stabbing people and YouTube has stepped in YouTube has deleted 130 rap videos to help police fight street gangs responsible for thousands of stabbings so this headline is a Business Insider headline and this is one of those headlines which is like what on earth is going on here the youtubers be like I don't legit don't understand what's happening here and I don't think I could explain it to you succinctly I really don't well but see you I don't you're not a big consumer of rap but Rapids always been about well some rap has always been about violence and that was like one of the big selling points I'm starting to understand why London has banned potato peelers yeah well I don't think these guys are using potato peelers but anyway more and more because so all of our all the gangster rappers from the 90s were not real gangstas I hate to ruin it for them it was like the world people Snoop Dogg did have that murder trial and a 50 cent did get shot a bunch of times so there's some outliers but for example uh Ice Cube as we've seen he's in Disney movies now you know if he wasn't that hardcore he was an educated like middle class young man and they told the stories of the people on the street but they were not those people so it was kind of okay but with things like YouTube the literal ganks are now making music and talking about real things that are happening there's no barrier to entry so they're talking about real things real things that they're doing yeah I got the impression that like you know the two gangs were having a rap battle and it's like okay that's a great way to take like that doesn't seem like normal gang activity but then the rap battle is describing the events wherein there was a knock fight on the on the underground tube or something did you know in Mexico they've got a this thing like a camera what it's called but you write songs about criminals or crimes and sometimes one cartel will like come to you and be like you're going to write an amazing song about our leader our cartel and you can't say no but if the song is too good and it gives that cartel leader a bunch of fame a rival cartel might kill you for it I shouldn't laugh about that because it's actually horrifying but I sort of a terrible world that we live in yeah this is just completely insane this this article talks specifically about how like one poor kid was kidnapped and tortured for material for the videos and so I get why police are taking you down but good lord in London what do you what are you doing mmm I mean we have this problem too yeah but there was a have you ever seen the video where they're filming a music video and I decided to bring all their guns to the local park the film a music video and then the cops raided them and that made it in the music video so street cred man Twitter let's move on to Twitter and Twitter has in traverse in traversed introduced a controversial new policy that affects maybe it's most famous twitter twitter tweet twitter says it will label tweets from trump and other leaders the break its rules so normally you get censured or sanctioned by twitter but with president of the US when he does something like it's talk weird situations of now they're just gonna label it and be like violates our policy how many otherworldly well you've got that the where Ted guy he'll get it yeah Trump will get it who else is controversial enough all of North Korea oh you think gee you'll get it yeah oh he won't like that he'll ban Twitter the first time I've happened Putin you think Putin is he on he's gonna tidal beacuse you don't think he's on Twitter they have their own thing I yeah you might be on Twitter which it was fake Putin's on Twitter speaking of Trump this week reddit has finally taken the step to ban one of the most popular subreddits the Donald the reddit has quarantined is this pro Trump subreddit over anti police threats they actually posted some of the threats in the article usually it's like oh there's just lots of things happening but the system that's the interesting well it's you know it's based on it's based on that Oregon climate change vote well they were probably for a lot of violence against the police according to the moderators and some of the messages are look super terrible but no but it's cool because so in Oregon they had a climate change vote there was that cap-and-trade stuff and the Republicans were in the minority so in order to skip the vote they just went into hiding and they have this law in Oregon that the leader of the House or whatever can actually enlist local law enforcement to try and track down absentee lawmakers to make them come to the vote and the lawmaker said we're not coming and so the state police were mobilized and then the militias joined in on the side of the Republican lawmakers so they were talking about that so it was caught killing in the context of a very convoluted political situation yeah oh yeah it's crazy all right that's a perfect word to describe it anyway it's been quarantined and don't know if it's coming back I think they that's been a thorn side of ready for a long time because you cross the line yeah that's that's not their narrative so I think they'll take that opportunity to just never bring that back and now on a nonsense first stories about spinach and something that we should all have known since children right I mean who doesn't know this but now we have scientific proof spinach chemicals should be put on a doping ban list say researchers and they've got the Popeye you know have you I don't even know what our audience even have seen this like 1945 yeah Popeye eat spinach and gets like super strong and can do anything but it turns out there's something to that you ever see the guy that Popeye was based on the real guy looks exactly I think it's amazing that a man looks that freaky so if you're thinking to yourself what I can just eat spinach and have superpowers well yeah it's true but you have to eat so much of it it's insane eight point eight pounds a day so giraffe portions but this is betting expenditures you can you develop kidney problems do too much damage so that's you could probably concentrate it and then maybe it wouldn't be so bad well that's what these guys are doing and but they're saying that it's not like steroids level but it does have like so many percentage increase to your strength which I don't know I mean I always thought that performance-enhancing drugs were banned because they might be bad for you but would this be bad for you probably not I don't know but all your kidneys are shutting down oh okay that would be bad I don't know if you get that with this is it going to devolve into its like the world Strongest Man who can survive on 2,000 calorie today cuz that's gonna be a very different world Strongest Man versus like the regular Voltron this movie I don't think the World's Strongest Man tastes not sure all those men are natural the International Space Station this article points out and I've definitely had this idea that the International Space Station is a very sterile environment and you know it's like that image you have from the movies where it's basically like a surgical theater you know everything is gleaming why there are no shadows there's no dirt there's literal particles of fecal matter just below to Yadier okay that's not true at all the ISS is home to super tough molds that laugh in the face of deadly radiation so yeah there's some pictures there yes but some of the deadly mold I imagine so that's not wide at all you think that wall was always yellow there was a there was a an article that we did last year the year before they talked about how it seemed like the rate of DNA modification increased dramatically when it's like in the space station it's like this thing underwent mutations way faster that it normally does in Earth's gravitational field so I wonder if the mold has evolved be super mold well you might be thinking okay so is that really that big a deal like why don't you just invent the place all right into space send everybody off send everybody home vent it close it back up and then come back you know well here's the thing when we go to Mars or to be on that ship I even if we improve things a lot we're gonna be on the air well two three years after two three years of living on a ship once we step off onto Mars we're bringing this with us and who knows what happens who knows what that leads to there's probably some crap on the moon yeah probably couldn't live up there but maybe it could maybe it takes over what if the moon just got covered in mold I don't know there I can only think of at least two or three episodes of Star Trek four major plot points where around cellular fossils where you know this life is completely barren and then like you know something like a mold spore was wedged in a rock it's like all we figured it out from the mold spore wipes in the rock and that's exactly how reality were started Google Maps often you find out people who follow Google Maps to their own doom sometimes there was a guy last week that tried to swim google.maps told him to take a swim I almost died from a Riptide this week we have a less dangerous situation but affected a lot more people nearly a hundred drivers follow the Google map to detour and ended up stuck in an empty field sometimes I see stuff like this and I think the Google AI is experimenting on it well this would have worked something happened there was a traffic jam or something and so this was a on the way to an airport and it would have worked if not for the constant and torrential rains that we've been experiencing here in the US so a field that would have just been a dirt road was now a mud road and it was only the one little dirt road so when one person failed nobody could get around them that that is the problem with traffic that would only takes one person to ruin it now we talked about the mold that will go with us to Mars and this article talks about a very novel approach to how we might breach the problem with how long it takes to get them wise Mars colonization could be possible through a sperm bank in space the study suggests scientists have found a find of frozen sperm exposed to zero-g could go where no man has gone before but why so they have presented the theory that it might be best that the marg ship be single-gender all women or men of course I don't think the all men version works in this scenario but if you have a ship of all women on a Mars colony ship they fly to Mars with frozen sperm and they use said frozen sperm to colonize on Mars and create more people well we might just take little people it's not that long a trip you know yeah we're talking about you know a generation ship but okay but here's my question what if the effects of you know pregnancy in space or on Mars create some kind of crazy messed up kids and then all these women die off and then it's just the crazy messed up people on Mars and we have like a new type of humanity but made a movie about that Lord of the Flies those kids were affected but they were just mentally messed up by the isolation these kids would be you know somehow physically affected then be a whole new kind of humanity and we'd have to try to communicate with them and trade with them because I'm starting to question the level of Awesomeness of the Guardian as a source of yeah well like I said earlier we use the mainstream media stories understanding that they have faults and you should as well speaking of false how about so Japan they are deadly serious about things being on time there was that story about it was genuinely printed the train was late a minute and every got everybody got a handwritten apology because they're just like we don't tolerate lateness which makes this story even more impressive a small slug has thrown Japan's high-speed rail into chaos though for some reason I missed this one I don't think it was this particular slug because the slug that did it actually they found him and so there was an exposed terminal and one of the breaker boxes he had bridged it oh and I caused the pouch oh yeah I cooked him and caused the power failure and I think there was maybe enough left of him to continue the short so until they pried him out of there but they couldn't get the trains running again Wow but yeah they did issue an apology saying that the the terminal should not have been exposed it was their fault and they were terribly terribly apologetic one slug the best laid plans of mice and men sometimes it did cost him his life that makes you feel any better people in Japan did violently exploded once again you know we put sure to put all these Mars stories together but it's getting kind of late in the day and I I'm just I'm not thinking correctly so they're not all together but how about a fart on Mars what is it minute NASA's Rover on Mars the text puffs of gas that hints at the possibility of life so this is a puff of methane and there are some chemical reactions that could produce methane gas but generally sources of methane or biological processes and so as you alluded to something on Mars farted and the rover got a whiff of it Rover smelted did not not there was not the rover that dealt it against the you know the classic belief so before you get too excited it could be that this was just trapped underground it could have been ancient life they've created this methane and something happened like a Rover driving over the ground and disrupting something that release it but either way even if it was ancient life that's uh that's still pretty impressive there was hiding there was I was there was an experiment in the in the 70s to figure out if Mars had life and one of the experiments was that they sprayed the soil with the sugar water that had a radioactive isotope of carbon that could be detected by the instrumentation and in the control they baked one set of soil at like five hundred degrees and then the other one they didn't do that and the soil that was not baked was respirating the sugar like the sugar was showing up in the gaps like something had consumed it and the other soil didn't do that after it had been baked and so it's like oh that's evidence of you know microbial life on Mars eating the radioactive sugar to produce radioactive carbon dioxide but NASA was like no that was the chemical process it's like on what do you base that in there like there can't be life on Mars probably conspiracy so every time I think shows up on Mars I'm like I like an ad there's definitely cows underground farting you don't know more Lots they would be under underground Adu Morlocks this story we're getting ad block notice but we have to preface this so this is the Washington Post this is one of those sources and they did have an addendum about the one of these guys is a chiropractor and he has like a business that's trying to capitalize on this so maybe this was a bit of a sensational headline so this is reported everywhere it's like Australian researchers find horns growing on young people skulls from bone overuse and so this is like the tendons that attach at the back of your skull because you're looking down all the time you're in your body adjusts like if you carry a lot of heavy things you know your musculature and depending on how as you grow um if you're a kid and you do stuff your body adjusts to whatever you're doing with it even your bone structure and so these guys are just saying hey because everybody's always looking down at their phone there's a protrusion forming it to people back in people's skull that health but that's not really evolutionary per se that's just yeah and so it basically helps you hold that position without straining the muscle constantly so it's basically a little hook that like catches those ligaments and stuff back there and lets you spend your yeah which is how it's dark you know that's the kind of thing that do you think okay let's say the world gets wiped out you know whatever but some people survive and we start over as one of those stories and future anthropologists dig us up and they're like wow that's weird in 2019 with rubens they get this weird lump they underwent a change you think I'd ever figured out no no they never would it'll be like that a thing they excavated in and from the Mayans that it was like a pit and it's like oh there's some broken pottery here and you keep digging it's like oh there's discarded children down here oh we're the children of sacrifice speaking of excavation another thing that could confuse the anthropologists as if they find a giant pit filled with any scooters Pepa at least fifty seven he scooters and bikes found at the bottom of the Portland River and some were still in working order so these are like the the e-bikes where you can rent it on an app what I guess I mean it makes sense somebody you get the end of your ride it's like I don't want to deal with this anymore well I just leave it there well because I mean anything that can be done to track to tie you to that is gonna survive being on the river already gonna be in the app cause I don't know what you accomplished but maybe you say that it was stolen but that's the whole point of these ride-sharing things isn't it it's like one showed up in your area and it's like oh I only have to walk a block in that I can get one of these scooters and so on maybe isn't that the whole point if you don't want your enemies using it what is it listen whatever wealthy person is funding this listen just give me the money I will get a better return on it than whatever this is because there's no there's no way that this is making enough money to survive 57 of these being thrown to the boss yeah I don't think it's necessarily it's for profit I'm sure but you're also probably similar to come on some kind of subsidy for reducing carbon because you're getting people to use these instead of driving so this is just really laundry money somehow it might be the guys who own the scooter company they're throwing another every because it's one of those cost plus contracts and select I don't know we keep losing scooters better buy more at you know five times margin we're so successful with this look at this this is so made air pods so they've done some studies about air pod users and I don't see a lot of people using these around here but apparently in big cities it's a problem that people have them on all the time and the question is how far does some people take it now the answer is extreme 17% in fact people with Apple earpods owners have admitted to sex while wearing them let's go to pee I mean I guess if both partners are wearing them it's not insulting but but if you're the one not wearing them you really got to reevaluate the relationship what if you're wearing them and listening to an e-book oh yeah you think there's anything sexy about these dark stories ha ha ha but yeah apparently people self-reported this so 70% of people said that yes I keep them on during sex which you know I mean uh the auditory part of sex is part of it right like that's supposed to be one of the more titillating parts so the process and yet you would rather I would love to know do you think they'd ask him what kind of music they listen to because that I would love to know that part of the equation on the plane ride there was a disturbing number of people wearing ear pods the entire time well on a plane makes more sense because you're you know you know everything else to do well I mean not just like during the plane rides like in boarding and sitting down it's like you know when you need to communicate with other passengers like I'm going to put my bag on top of your bag because there's nowhere else to put it that's what you do you just smack it out of there yeah but just that's the beauty of the airport just take it and throw it if you smack them hard enough it'll just pop out there have been a lot of reports about alexa and some of the other home automation things doing weird things there was the one where it was laughing remember that yeah i think one was crying one was communicating oddly with the children it's been a lot of weird reports of things going down and now we have another data point Alexa has called a guy a after he cancelled his crime subscription next out but then you read and it's like well maybe well here's the thing that makes me maybe think that it's possible they gave him a pretty big refund and apologized to him now here's the thing that might explain it he had canceled his Prime subscription the day before and I think it's one of those situations where you can't just cancel it online and make you call in it's like oh we hate to lose your business please call us so we can talk to you about this and I have a feeling that the person on the other end was doing that loss prevention something call it yeah and where do everything I can to not give you what you want and he maybe got a little terse with them and they made a note on his account I know that they didn't know was available to Alexa so I'd like that note to be available to me not just Alexa I mean I'm speculating I might not be what is it all but Alex you explained it so mr. I think he got like 300 pounds refund for his prime here have you ever done the key ticketing yes they have that new concert ticket thing where it's constantly shifting that seems really annoying because you have to have a phone but they are trying to convince people here this was the UK I guess to go with eat a king you know paperless right got to save the earth however this poor lady has a story that might talk you out of it faster and then threaten would court we're using a screen shot of her a ticket traveler was allowed to board the train but was later told she would have to fight 160 pound of fare for the train so instead of like having the app it was a screenshot of the app which well here's the thing though it's not just the app a PDF is okay to they email you a PDF he's a PDF not essentially a screenshot so this was a situation where she boarded a train it was fine but then there was some sort of disruption so she had to do a layover cut deal I don't know what they call that in train world anyway she couldn't go directly to her location she had to go on two more trains I think and the next one was fine the final one she got this ticket not see it was like no this is a screenshot I know a screenshot when I see it and the one was like yeah but I mean I'm kind of stranded here if you don't let me on the train because everybody else has been fine with this but and they had a big thing and actually sent her a bill which she paid under protest when they out when I found out about it they were like oh actually we allow this and that's weird although the official policy says no so Chicana was right and it seems like nobody knows she did get her money back but what a terrible minute she has sworn on e tickets as you might imagine there's a story that definitely shows the rapid decline of human civilization selfies are now five times more deadly than shark attacks for this report so people are trying to take selfies with stuff going on in the background and doing things like walking in front of buses or walking off of ledges or something like this perhaps yeah so it's not a good situation yeah and I've had some better pictures but they don't but yeah people dangerous animals Heights are big one boating accidents are big look I've put my head inside the polar bears mouth yeah thing can go wrong that type of thing and it's so prevalent that is overtaking sharks now sharks get kind of a bad rap I don't think sharks kill that many people no for real but and even when they do attack they don't usually kill you but still it's sad also overwhelmingly Indians doing this really yeah they love the danger selfies over an Indian but I would I wouldn't think that was true based on the number of times that I've seen somebody almost die in a metropolitan scenario trying to take it selfie like wandering in the middle of traffic or in front of a bus or whatever don't you ever see that Indian traffic oh yeah I guess that's a little bit more than hanging off one of those trains that's 5,000 percent overloaded yeah taking the selfie at that sitting here you know is probably not a good idea including this story and you know I forgot that Krista was gonna be here but I thought it'd be fun to see her reaction to this wedding loans are financing an already embedded America so you know I remember a time when in the banks wouldn't loan out money for this kind of thing I mean with most loans you expect to have some sort of appreciation or return right or there's an asset involved but here there's none of those things yeah in fact statistically 50% of these loans are going to be for failed managers yeah but why would you do this and that does it unlike student loans now student loans in federal law in the United States that survives bankruptcy and hardship you cannot get you can't it's very it's almost impossible to get student loan debt discharged so it's a very safe debt for somebody to take on Bernie Sanders says hold my beer although he is gonna pay oh yeah it's kind of paying with our money yeah tax dollar would but uh yeah alone for like a destination wedding like that's my stuff like why at what point but culturally we don't need that how they're they had a quote from some girl in there she's like they're coming down I just felt like we needed a magical day oh I can't look at it as a headlock but yeah that's a you can have a magical day without spending that much money no no no you have to have acrobats and an open bar and all of those things you have to have a magician to get you know like some I don't know who the hot new wedding singer would be I don't drawing a complete blank on here would be that Oh Celine Dion you'd have Celine Dion D Wow this once again you know it's too bad that Chris is not here because she would love this article there were 50 versions of this article all over the internet different everybody was super this dominated my newsfeed when it points up oh it's so salacious you know it's anything they click but before you hear about it I'm sorry to tell you if you hear this you get excited I'm sorry to say it's already gone the creator of the deep food an app for that undress as photos a women has taken it offline and after algorithmically under through the images of women was taken down by its creators siding server overload and other potential harms now undress is in quotes there for good reason because what this did is it was basically one of those adversarial networks and it had a giant library of new in it because that's easy to do on the Internet so would take your picture of the girl and it only works for girls not because of sexism but because of the overwhelming ratio of nudes of women versus nudes of men they did not have enough man nudes to make the network work permit what's just lays but it would take the picture of the girl figure out her position like what you know how she was working they also admitted that it doesn't really work if she's not facing forward it really only works if you have like you know upfront profile or not profile like upfront forward-facing picture it finds nudes that fit her body type and skin tone and stuff like that and then substitutes the man who creates a ai generated nude person so doesn't necessarily look anything like was this the one filled out a little bit no no okay so the one there no examples the one that I saw of this the author of the article author had used about 50 pictures of Taylor Swift and they were just like this is incredible this is absolutely incredible I can't believe it does as good of a job with it and it was just Taylor Swift over like the last 10 years they showed the news no well they had cropped it such that but yeah well how that we know they're not but yeah this thing it's also not new so this app has been out for a while and no one cared because again it's not that great but somebody does story the Vice might be the one that broke this right and after vice did the story they got so many downloads that it crashed all the servers and then they started getting a bunch of press and people lashed out at them get that big Amazon bill because the million people will download yeah it's just like oh no and so now they have refunded all the money and the promise not do this ever again oh no okay so there's some big news happening on Sunday so we're going to have a video out on Sunday a lot of content out on Sunday look for that that's it for the news this week you\n"
