NEW investigation for @WSJ:
- Polymarket is paying scores of offshore clippers to quietly promote its international exchange in the U.S. (though it’s banned from letting Americans trade on the platform)
- Polymarket made dummy websites mirroring its real site, then paid creators to use the fake site and pretend to win thousands.
- Creators altered headlines and used outdated footage to imply they won bets—even when they often lost
- Polymarket paid Adin Ross multiple millions to promote the site
All that and more in my latest story with @ByKLong@ceostroff@brenna__smith
I'm at a panel and the speaker said "these de facto truths create paradigms of their own" and the woman sitting in front of me opened Google translate to look up "defwkto"
Kudos to her for knowing what paradigm means i guess
That one movie they marketed as having spent so much money on making the lead actor look young again and it just looked like the regular old version of him but with more make up
@HanWeBlame@04nbod@Thanngorodrim@World_Insights1 The Patriarch of the Turkish Orthodox Church is Turkish
If you're talking about the Greek Orthodox Church, it is based on not liking the Turks so I doubt that would happen. I've some Rum Ortho friends in Istanbul (born and raised) and they can't WAIT to be a part of Greece again
@HanWeBlame@04nbod@Thanngorodrim@World_Insights1 This exists, it's called the Turkish Orthodox Church and it was formed during the war for independence.
They praise Atatürk and every Sunday they pray in Turkish for the country and its people
@SlumRNA_Dog Fun fact: As far as we know, androgenic hair loss is mostly transferred through maternal genes
Not only that, women are MORE susceptible to it than men, but generally don't have enough free DHT in their blood for it to show
That's also why trans men are hella fuckin bald lmao
