Here in the Philippines, I hesitate to give my bank details to my bank! 

Most folk here only order from online shops that offer COD.

This new test was developed to bolster our already successful efforts to reduce spam, manipulation of our platform and bot activity...

Don't know about anyone else but for me the spam on Twitter is getting worse. Any trending topic is hijacked within a few minutes with a plethora of spammy tweets. I'm still bemoaning the loss of Tweetdeck :(

I don't think it has anything to do with cutting down spam or bots, the money is fuckall to spammers and bot creators, 10 thousand bots would cost them $10.000. It's about monetising the platform and making it easier to sell you stuff.

The adverts are also awful. Just never ending crypto shagging accounts which I immediately block.

Musk should have just bought Truth Social instead of spending about 50 times the amount on Twitter to turn it into Truth Social.

It's probably about Elmo skimming your CC details to buy back Twitter shares with and stop the price falling over like Gareth Bale.

We were playing football in PE when I was in primary five and the ball kicked into someone’s garden next to the school. The woman came out, burst the ball with a carving knife and threw it back to us. Bear in mind, we were playing football in a school, clearly under adult supervision in a class, it was the adult who went to get the ball back and we were a bunch of nine year olds. Imagine doing that.

Also when I played youth football at Milton pitches in Inverness, one of the families whose gardens backed onto the pitches would refuse to give balls back. There used to be huge hedges there but occasionally a ball would get through and they’d keep it.

In both instances these people will probably have bought their houses knowing there was a primary school and playing fields next to them.

Maybe therapy would help you process it all.

Get yourself down to Central fire station in Aberdeen. God knows how but they always have a collection of footballs that have come from the 5's pitches beside it. They're covered in netting so as I say, no idea how they have such a collection. I've gifted myself two from the pile, one which is an Ultimax Pro that retails at £80.

I've had all these follow me in the last day or so.

Yeah pretty much every other 'like' I get is now from a spam porn bot.
