Hard agree on Pepsi is better than Coke

I think they mean outed as queer, not outed as queerphobic. Like doing queerphobic shit and someone knows you’re queer and in denial or using it to try to lock your closet door, they think those people should be outed as such.

If someone is queerphobic but straight, what are you outing them as?

At least that’s how I understood the comment.

Not if you sort by controversial

Yeah, a really surprising effect of finally getting diagnosed with ADHD and starting meds is that I’m actually able to emotionally regulate and self-soothe. A lifetime of depression and anxiety could have been managed so much more easily.

Also I find it odd that people say “ADHD is over diagnosed” but everyone I know that has an ADHD diagnosis had to FIGHT to even be screened for it. I think there’s definitely more self-diagnosis than there used to be and a decent amount of that is bullshit, but I don’t think it’s particularly easy to get an official ADHD diagnosis.

Yeah at the very least, they could easily make it a requirement to pass a written test at every renewal. Hell, they could do it as an online test you can do it home before you come in, I don’t even care if people “cheat.” Make it open book. Then at least people would have to flip through the book every few years which is better than nothing.

I agree about people not caring about anyone else, and I think it’s gotten worse since covid.

Everyone should have to retake the driving test (both written and practical) every five years. And if you don’t pass on the first try or are in a crash where you are found at fault, it should be bumped up to every year for the following five years.

People drive dangerously because they’ve forgotten rules, or rules have changed, or they’ve had a physical or cognitive decline. And yet we’re like “yep, you took a test once decades ago, good to go.”

Dangerous driving kills so many people.

Idk this doesn’t feel like a scam. You paid for something, they sent it, they said “you want more? More money please.” Did you want more for free? I don’t get it.

It seems like this is endemic on freecycle type groups, such a bummer.

So you paid for nudes, they sent you one, then tried to get you to buy more?

Damn. And for $50K, brutal.

This is what I hate, so many scams prey on people who are desperate or otherwise already in hard times. Scamming someone who doesn’t have a roof over their head, or is elderly and lives off a small social security income, or needs a job to afford food… that shit is the lowest of lows.

I guess if you scam rich people you’re more likely to be caught.

That’s rough, just trying to help (because you were asked!) and you get accused of being a hater and killing her dreams.

If he was a minor, the uno reverse there is “congrats you have CSAM on your phone, enjoy explaining that to the police”

Honestly the US credit system is one big scam

I feel like part of falling for this is being in a job where you don’t question management doing stupid shit that shouldn’t be your job. I works hope that $5000 would ping your bullshit meter, but I could easily see falling for a more believable story. Maybe not at a fast food place but like, a big office or some place where there are bullshit parties. Especially with a spoofed email or text rather than a voice call. “It’s [some fake appreciation day] and I need to bring in cake/gifts, I don’t have the business card on me, buy this $200 gift card and give me the info.”

If you’re stressed and have a shitty boss with no boundaries, I could see it working.

One I fell for: last minute, I needed to take a cat on a flight. I was googling what I needed to do for the airline and ended up with a scam number. The issue was I didn’t even have to click through to the site, I’d like to think I’d have caught on. But the number was bolded in the suggested results without having to click through toanywhere. I was in a panic getting ready for the flight, so I wasn’t on my game.

Immediately after I gave the person my credit card info over the phone, like literally the minute I hung up, I realized that it was so obviously a scam. Called my credit card company and had them block the charge and change the card number. Definitely not the pain in the ass I needed right before a trip, but it made me more cautious for the future and luckily I didn’t lose any money.

My sister fell for one I couldn’t believe. A kid was washing windows on the side of the road, she said she didn’t have any cash and he said, “That’s okay I have cash app, I’ll type in my name.” She handed her phone over and he cash apped himself $2000. No recourse since cash app isn’t a real bank transfer. Expensive lesson to learn.

Wow, what an absolute scumbag.

…is a pig butchering scam something that didn’t involve actual pig butchering? Or…
