I would add treason to the list of charges.

Treason is totally okay now. You can have a little treason as a treat.

Since when does anyone refer to North Koreans as Norks 🥴

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

It's actually been an increasingly common slang over the last year or so. Think the popularity of it picked up after they started sending troops to Ukraine.

I’ve been calling them that for at least a decade now.

It’s Nor(th) K(orean)s, not orcs like the green guys.

Around 1950 or so. It's probably considered a slur, though, only slightly better than "gooks".

It’s not a slur, but it is also slang for breasts.

Oh wow, that's an amazing term for breasts. Probably in my top 5, right behind "baps"

According to court documents, Chapman ran a laptop farm out of her home from October 2020 to October 2023. During this time she hosted computers for overseas IT workers — who were posing as American citizens and residents — to ensure the devices had local IP addresses, making them appear to be in the US.

Chapman also helped the foreign fraudsters steal the identities of more than 70 US nationals, then use those identities to apply for remote IT jobs, according to the Feds. 

Those who successfully obtained employment as part of the scam then received payroll checks at Chapman's home
