Facebook Is Going to Pay People to Deactivate Their Accounts Around the Election
Did you already deactivate your Facebook account because it's a cesspool that exploits your personal data, makes you more depressed, and spreads dangerous misinformation? Well, the rest of us are about to get PAID to quit.
Facebook is going to start paying people to deactivate their Facebook and Instagram accounts for one to six weeks leading up to the election in November.
They're offering between $10 and $20 a week to deactivate your account . . . so you could get up to $120 if they ask you to be part of this.
Why are they doing it? They say it's a research project to see just how big of an impact they make on democracy . . . and if they're REALLY destroying democracy like everyone says. So look for a message on Facebook or Instagram offering to pay you to log off for a few weeks. (The Verge)

Ellen DeGeneres Will Talk About the "Toxic" Allegations on Her Show
Meanwhile, the British tabloids have new dirt. A former employee says Ellen "tormented" the staff who worked at her home. She supposedly put out "traps" to make sure they were cleaning everything, and took pleasure in firing people.

(26:10) You Can Pay a Woman $37 to Give Honest Feedback on Your Junk
It's entirely possible that you've gone your entire life without REALLY knowing if you've got a good looking PACKAGE. Honest feedback without any agenda is hard to come by. And that's why this service exists. There's a 33-year-old woman named Lahnee Pavlovich in Queensland, Australia. She works as a sex instructor and life coach. And she's launched a service where men can send her pictures of their junk . . . and she'll RATE what they've got and give them honest feedback.
She'll also include tips for improving the look, and suggest good sexual positions that will help them get the most out of what they're packing.
So what would you pay for that service? Believe it or not, it's only $37. (Daily Mirror)
(34:15) "Good News" Stories from the Coronavirus Outbreak
A judge in Houston had a family evicted last week. So the cops who had to kick them out started a GoFundMe page to help them, along with other families in the same situation. And people have donated HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars already. The dad did a follow-up interview and got pretty emotional about it. (There's also a separate GoFundMe just for his family.)
A guy in Alaska named Jack Little got in on the Venmo Challenge the other day, and tipped a waitress $500. And he's not done. He says his friends on social media have been really generous, so he still has another $7,000 to shell out.
A group in Omaha called the Dreamweaver Foundation normally helps seniors with bucket list stuff . . . crazy things like hot air balloon rides. But they pivoted when COVID-19 hit, and used their budget to give 300 Facebook Portals to nursing homes in Nebraska and Iowa. So now people can video chat with friends and family.
A zoo in Tacoma, Washington has started doing personalized videos for kids called "Animal Shoutouts." A $50 donation gets you a 30-second clip, where a zookeeper says hello or happy birthday while an animal does a trick. You can choose from 11 animals, including a walrus, sloth, seal, penguin, and parrot. (Here are examples.)

A Woman Goes to an Adult Shop, Opens a Toy . . . And Tests It Out in the Stock Room
A drunk guy in Tennessee was arrested after the cops called him a cab . . . and he tried to steal it.
Cops in Manchester, England raided a party for violating coronavirus rules on Friday . . . and it turned out to be a mid-afternoon swingers orgy. It had been going strong for about two hours when the cops got there.
A surfer in Spain was arrested and taken off the beach in handcuffs by two cops in hazmat suits because she'd been diagnosed with coronavirus and was supposed to be self-quarantining.
(55:40) Four Tips for Eating at Restaurants During COVID
More people are feeling comfortable eating at restaurants, especially if there are tables outside. So here are four tips on how to stay as safe as possible . . .
Bring hand sanitizer. You'll want to clean your hands as soon as you sit down. But using the bathroom comes with its own risks. So some experts say it's better to wash before you leave the house, and just use hand sanitizer at the table.
Never set your mask down on the table. You never know how well they cleaned it. So it's better to just pull your mask down, or leave it in your pocket or purse. If you want to be REALLY careful, bring a small paper bag to put it in while you eat.
Do you need to put your mask back on between bites? Probably not. Most experts agree that handling your mask too much is riskier than leaving it off while you're eating. The only time you might want to put it back on is when you're talking to your server. But as long as they're wearing a mask, it's fairly safe.
Make sure you trust the people you're eating with. Obviously don't meet up with anyone who's recently been exposed to the virus. And be picky about who you hang out with in general. If your friend went to a huge party and played beer pong on Labor Day, maybe do dinner another time. (Huff Post)
