MLBTR reported that Adam Oller, formerly of Miami Marlins, has signed a deal with 2024 KBO champion Kia Tigers.

However, according to Korean media, Kia Tigers are saying, "Whoa, where is this coming from? Sure, we were looking at Oller as a possible acquisition target, but we haven't even offered him a deal yet!"

I guess Oller is really eager to go play in Korea? 🤷

I was going to give ₱10,000 to 10 people yesterday, but #GCash told me my phone have (1) developer mode; and (2) install from other sources enabled when not. So forget it. #blameGCash

Context:
* The number 1 worst FinTech app in the Philippines, for 2023.
* They are on a campaign blaming “developer mode” for GCash account related issues.
* They also stupidly blocked “install from other sources” when many China-brand phones (like what I'm using, Oppo) have it enabled by default and can NOT be disabled.

In other words, GCash alienated more than half of their users in their bid to blame their users for compromised GCash accounts.

So, the trend now is to create scenarios (like the above) why one cannot send money, because GCash.

ROFLMAO + WTFBBQ + /facepalm
