Did PayPal change recently that there's *a* [edit] fee to pull directly from a linked checking acount? -- (edited) - JaxSean Aug 2, 12:10 2
- Are you sending money to "Friends and Family" or "Business"? - Mop Aug 2, 12:14 1
  - I think digging in to FAQs, the person is in the UK, so there's a fee outside of the US. -- nm* - JaxSean Aug 2, 12:19
Alright, alright, alright. Potential new client. Interview on Tuesday. - Spawn Aug 2, 12:03 3

So 'number neighbor' is apparently a thing now - this whole thread is great -- (link) - decline Aug 2, 11:55 2
- So who's the first STer that will try this? -- nm - Shaun Aug 2, 12:00 1
  - We could be post ID neighbors? - oblique Aug 2, 12:13

Newest rumour I see about Ninja's deal with Mixer is that it was in the $50M+ range. -- nm - Shaun Aug 2, 11:42 16
- I love the description of him, "making all the money he can now because he knows it will not last". - Spawn Aug 2, 11:43 14
  - Yep because in 3 years everybody will have moved on - eag Aug 2, 11:52
  - i mean, I could retire now if someone gave me $50mil -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 2, 11:48
  - He'd previously indicated he was making about $1 million $250k per month. That wasn't generational money, but this would be. -- nm - David Aug 2, 11:48 8
    - A mil a month for a few years, I would be set for life. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 11:54 5
      - There should have been a dash. He's said somewhere between $1 and $3 million. Athletes go broke while making far more. - David Aug 2, 11:56 4

        He really didn't break out until September of 2017. If anything, I'm being generous. -- nm - David Aug 2, 12:21
    - I wonder more about the 7yr old making 5-6-7 mil a year. - Will Hunting Aug 2, 11:54 1
      - There are a handful of those on YT. -- nm - David Aug 2, 11:56
  - In theory, he should be set for life already, before this deal even happened. -- nm - Shaun Aug 2, 11:45 2
    - Yup. Stuff I have read made him sound a bit miserable but that was the justification. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 11:46 1
      - everyone wants to be famous, until they are -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 12:00

    - Interesting IM -- nm - Pippy, I’m Britney Bitch! Aug 2, 11:55 1
      - I love Garth. Preacher is one of my top 10 series but The Boys did not click for me. -- (link) - Spawn Aug 2, 12:00
  - We are 5 episodes in (iirc). SO. good. -- nm - Shaun Aug 2, 11:46 1

Harley Race Was Harder Than Hell -- (link) - Beaker Aug 2, 11:09 1

- Baywatch 17%. As if. -- nm - Shaun Aug 2, 11:14
- Also, The Mummy 2017 does not deserve a 17%. It’s not good but that’s just wrong. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 11:12 2
  - when it was on cable I watched it at least 5-10 times (often just on in the background). It's not that bad at all - decline Aug 2, 11:15

- Freddy Got Fingered - 10%. -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 10:49 12
  - We really should modify the poll to be 10% or less. That's where it gets challenging -- nm - oblique Aug 2, 10:50 11
    - Right? How low can you go? -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 10:50 10
      - Drop Dead Fred, Mom and Dad Save the World (9%) The New Guy (7%) The Avengers (1998) (5%) - Reagen Aug 2, 11:02 8

        Maybe a couple years after initial release? - Reagen Aug 2, 11:29 1
        
        No judgment, and I agree the teddy bear scene captured some of the more absurd moments of the TV series. -- nm - Roger More Aug 2, 11:33
        
        if the world was a smarter place, The New Guy would be at least 80% higher -- nm - prayformojo Aug 2, 11:14 1
        
        word -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 11:23

        Same. Worst movie I saw last year. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 10:58 3
        
        it should be thankful that the Lost World was so shitty, that it is not the worst JP movie -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 11:00 2
        
        I put it under Lost World. I don’t think I’d ever rewatch this. LW has a few decent bits. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 11:05 1
        
        there is very little to like about Lost World. - groiny Aug 2, 11:08

  - that is just an absurd rating -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 10:38 4
    - right??? -- nm - amanda Aug 2, 10:43 3
      - I am trying to wrap my mind around what there is NOT to like about it. -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 10:57 2
        
        It made Chris Klein entertaining. They should get Oscars! -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 11:13 1
        
        voodoo sorcery! -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 11:14
apologize to the show, Mop. -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 10:28 5
- Yo-Yo is hardly the only problem with this show. - Mop Aug 2, 10:34 2
  - are you doing a crossword while you watch the show or something? - Reagen Aug 2, 10:45 1
    - I do not remember the IM -- nm - Beryllium Aug 2, 12:09
