What did the kidnappers demand?

I find it odd the amount of families kidnapping their own family members lately, as that's typically the only time demands aren't made by kidnappers.

Don't think that would make them a Nazi though. Not to say there aren't any, but in modern times they're located in Ukraine. Azov Batallion has videos posted where they have whole stadiums filled with them doing their chant? which is disturbing.

Either way stay strong.

They'll call if they haven't yet.


The Nazis in Azov have largely been killed and replaced with new troops. The Nazis in America are running rampant snatching civilians off the streets. Critical difference.


Explain exactly what you mean by the remark about Nazis in America.


What are you paying in order to be down?

Even if you were making a million a minute, typically, it still didn't cost you a thing, nor have you lost anything.

You're not making as much, sure, but neither a cost, nor a loss.


If you're an event organizer whose big event is in two days, for example, then every minute your website's down translates to people not paying to attend your paid event. Bonus points because as event managers know, people often wait until 2 days before the event to subscribe for good. Bonus points if you knew this and therefore ran a costly email campaign just before the outage, a campaign that is now sitting at a near-0% click rate.

Don't ask me how I know.


For businesses whose profit margins are already slim, which is most traditional businesses trading online, making less money than they usually would will put them into the red, and even for those that are still in profit, making less money than you usually would means you have less money to pay the expenses that you usually do, expenses that are predicated on you making a certain amount of revenue.


Called passion. Pays in spades. Something bots know not of. Includes carbon bots.


It seems there is not enough "passion" to pay the bills, sadly.


No, nobody should. Don't know why any trust the gossip slop bots given the extra work required. Pretty brave to trust another word guessing bot when its unable to stop making stuff up. Might want to ask it about Smith-Mundt 2012. Bill says discern, a lot, for a reason.


You're not alone.
