Technological literacy only exists in a very slim age demographic of people born from roughly 1980 to roughly 2007

It was almost as bad as that one time I got roped into a Pyramid scheme. Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh....

If you're an artist with an obvious link to your Patreon or Ko-Fi on your blog, please be careful. Especially Artists who are new to commissioning...

So, yeah. I may or may not have almost been scammed today.

Today, I was encountered by a seemingly sweet girl, who wanted me to draw her dog,

But unfortunately, when it came to the transaction, something was off.

First thing, she refused to go to my Ko-Fi and wanted to do the transaction directly to Paypal. Then, when we conversed in her DMs, I gave my prices. They were reasonable for an artist starting out commissioning, right? $30 or $60, but then, she said she was willing to pay me $300!

$300!

But when it came to the transaction, I got the email where it said I got her money, but I had to do something else to receive it fully, which was confusing, because, it said I need to be a business account to receive the payment, and I thought I already was a business account, so I got confused. But, the one I was doing business with said that's normal and said she has to pay me $200 more Dollars for it to work, but I have to refund her the $200 to get the rest of my payment.

But, I didn't understand how you could do that, because I'm still new to this whole Commission thing. (and operating PayPal....) so I decided to go and call Paypal themselves to help me how to refund things. And the PayPal helper lady I was talking to on my phone was helping me operate Paypal and I told her what's going on and she said that I might've been in the middle of getting SCAMMED!!

SCAMMED, BRO!

So, The PayPal Helper Lady then recommended me to email someone to help me see if I was scammed or not, and yeah. Um... I got back to the Girl who I now am suspecting is scamming me, and I told her what's up, and her demeanor changed. She was meaner and harsher, and threatened to call the Authorities somehow. even though I'm in Canada and she is in the States....

So yeah... be careful...

Also, continue to ask for help when you don't know anything. Man, I feel stupid, but also stupid enough to get yourself out of a scam~!

By being stupid~!!

Reminder that AO3 is the profic (read as: in favor of fiction) website.

The fiction you hate will be there. The ships you hate will be there. The authors you hate will be there. The proshippers you hate who built the website will obviously always be there.

If you don't like that, either filter them out or leave. You can't be surprised to find proshippers in the website that was literally made by and for us.

No one is forcing you to read those fics or stay on the website. You want AO3 to start banning certain works? Why don't you try to make your own site and see how that turns out. Don't let the door hit you on the way out btw.

the fact that George "let's murder everyone in the middle east" bush Jr is getting rehabilitated in the public mind as just a bumbling incoherent buffoon and not the bloodthirsty neoconservative warhawk he was and still is is proof that Trump is only like two future presidencies away from being seen in pop culture as a wacky jokester

Luigi Mangione's lawyer is SO good

like, she didn't miss a beat in the arraignment, calling out the police, the perp walk, the mayor...

I hope this trial is televised tbh. i will not miss a second of it if it is

ETA: ANNNNDDD calling out the mayor for not using the word "alleged".. YES!

I get SOO annoyed whenever people complain about the media using the word "alleged", especially when there is video footage of the crime happening... people complain that it's some sort of media bias, and not like... straight up a VIOLATION OF A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT if they don't say "alleged"

The presumption of innocence is a right. Luigi's rights have been violated repeatedly in this regard.

And possibly also his right to a fair trial, since they are creating SO MUCH bias against him

if you think harassment is justified when the victim is a proshipper then maybe you should reevaluate your morals

You know how I feel about myself right now?

I feel like a shallow bitch.

I try and put myself out there but in the end, I just don't like my options.

I just want a hot man with a great personality and a good occupation, you know?

But, I probably sound like a horrible person for wanting that since I feel like society always shame women for desiring something like that.

Especially a pretty girl like me with an ugly personality who doesn't put myself out there that much~ xP

I just suck.

i will say we can’t address the rightward radicalization of gen z men without also addressing leftward radicalization of many others and by that i mean we have to acknowledge that the left going on rants about how all men are evil and deserve to die isn’t unrelated to gen z men not being more leftist

and like, you can be angry at and blame gen z men but that’s not going to be productive or change the radicalization issues we’re seeing across the political spectrum
