Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 1)

I agree that you should do your due diligence about online security, things are really scary nowadays.

Here is my favorite starting spot. Yavapai County AZ | Free Public Records Search

You will have to make your own account but you can search for misdemeanor tickets that way. The vehicle owner is usually listed. Move to the County Assessor’s page to look up the tax and property information.

I really didn’t think that this was sensational at all, it is all out there. There is NO expectation of any sort of privacy anymore. None.

ETA Yanno what? I am sorry for getting into a snit because an online stranger thought they knew better than a different online stranger. Back when I was doing government work, we learned a surprising amount of stuff from unverified sources and the only way to know that it was right was to question and challenge.

Please ask all the questions you want and I will do my best to walk you through the best way I know to find the answers.

I can’t speak for license plates (that would certainly be useful for both good and evil) but I never thought court records were private. And in Maricopa county, too, property tax records are totally open. I can look up any address and find the owner, when they bought it, the selling price, the taxes, property info (lot size, sq foot). You don’t even need an account.

I have a near zero web presence, but when I do an ego search, it lists my possible relatives (mostly correct, not not entirely. Who ARE those other people with my name??) and all my addresses (again, mostly correct), and my age (usually close).

Kanye wanted to buy Parler because it claims to support free speech. Apple, which runs Parler’s website, covered up his new anti-Semitic post. It’s on their website, but you can’t see it if you use their app.

Like most “free speech” blatherers, what he actually wants is “Consequence-free speech”.

Former fans are now regretting getting inked.

People are just now figuring out that Kanye is a loathsome human being?!

I’m guessing they already knew but now that he’s attracting hate groups…

An ABC news reporter called Native Americans indigenous creatures.

I think they meant “indigenous cultures”.

I agree. I can’t see any news anchor calling humans “creatures” on purpose. At least I hope so.

I think they meant to say “indigenous creators” and had a slip of the tongue.

The 32-year-old heir and CFO of Tyson Foods was found naked, drunk, and in some woman’s bed uninvited.

The CFO of Tyson Foods is 32???

His last name is Tyson. That’s all you need to know.

Don’t forget son of the Chairman of the Board (also named Tyson, as it happens!)

I will admit that I’ve been pretty damn drunk at times but just how wasted do you have to be to break into someone else’s house, strip, climb into a bed and pass out? And, not proud of this but, I know what blackout is like yet I always managed to get my ass home.

There was a video circulating years ago of someone doing just that. While I’m sure it was terrifying to the homeowners, it did look like he was so drunk he thought he was in his own house.

ETA, I tried to find it, turns out it’s more common than I realized.

A couple of years ago, someone so drunk confused where he lived with another house. Tried to break in.

It was the County Sheriffs house. Bad choice. :rofl:

He survived uninjured.

Didn’t Robert Downey Jr. do that once also?

Anytime I wonder if maybe I should cut back on my alcohol use, someone like John Tyson comes along and reminds me I don’t drink nearly as much as I should.
