He’s still a scumbag, but don’t oversell it, the truth is bad enough.

One, running a charity and saying that you're donating money and then not donating that money is still charity fraud, especially when you advertise that you've "donated the money" in past events.

Two, they run another golf event that has donations that are easily tracked (by the number of donation members and tier groups for those donations), but the money from those events do not add up to the money they have on their non-profit statements. They have also conveniently left out their donation amounts for that golf event in an (very poor) attempt to hide the money that they have been stealing from that event.

He's a scumbag, and a criminal, and a thief. And he and his brother deserves to serve prison time. And they did this in the dumbest way possible, to the point that a YouTuber could follow the path and find the fraud. This sort of case is a federal prosecutor's wet dream.

There is no such thing as "overselling" this.

It's worse than that.

They were using the charity as a way to hide money that they were actually stealing from another golf charity event. The math doesn't add up, and this is going to end with the IRS throwing these assholes in prison. Trey Parker already put out in a comment (on that same video above) that he's suing their organization, and this is going to attract a lot of federal govt attention. The IRS does not fuck around when it comes to charity fraud.

Maybe they should use several popular forums as a control?

In the beginning were the words, and the words made the world. I am the words. The words are everything. Where the words end, the world ends. You cannot go forward in the absence of space. Repeat.

Masturbation abstinence practices have returned to the USA in the form of semen retention communities.

Well, that's a combination of words I've never ever seen before.

Also, both this article and web site are weird. It's this strange combination of a "news article" and a research paper. Which is it?

This study uses a systematic search on r/NoFap and two control forums (r/pornfree, and r/stopdrinking) to define a corpus of violent content.

Well, there's a textbook definition of cherry-picking right there. Control group needs more than just two other forums.

Of the 421 violent posts identified from September 2011 to September 2022,

Oh boy, if I had a dollar for the amount of times I saw a news article reference a science paper with an abysmal sample size, I could use that money to buy a decent used car. It's the main problem on something like 98% of the science shit I've see here and on Reddit.

The rich and famous always forget how many people they had to step on to make it to the top, including in this case, her own fucking band. Cher and RRHoF are both shams.

"The big difference between Apple and Google is Apple didn’t write anything down,” Sweeney said, according to CNBC. Epic Games did not immediately respond to the Guardian’s request for comment.

That says all I need to know about the difference between these two cases.

So, pretty much this...

SCvTW is a good gateway into Anamanaguchi, but their other albums are great, too.

Chipzel has already gotten a mention, but I have to say her stuff is fantastic, especially Chipped of the Necrodancer and Super Hexagon.

Don't forget the Dicey Dungeon soundtrack. I'd love to hear some real-life rendition of Swing Me Another 6.

Hate to tell you, but your dad was playing Strip Poker on the C64.

Doesn't mean that zombies aren't overdone AF.
