Some of you may get defrauded but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make

Mahmoud has spammed me twice with different accounts since I started posting about this, both accounts are now gone so Bluesky is trying I guess

Yeah this is probably true

Nobody thinks they’re real (hyperbolic, I’ve seen some genuinely gullible accounts but they aren’t most of what’s powering this!)

Yeah it’s people bragging about getting scammed! Feels like another dimension of our post-truth hellscape because they don’t care at all if a Gazan is getting the money or not! Just what donating says about them

How often does the discourse basically lead to “Well I care so much about Gaza I don’t even care it’s a scam, the 1% chance it’s authentic is worth it to me”

What makes me most frustrated about the obvious scam accounts on here is 99.99% of us all know they are scams but there’s a lot of social pressure to pretend our eyes don’t work on this

yeah it was a real account, if you search for “bousti” there’s tons of evidence from French Bluesky

I bet that was another authentic account, looking at the handle

he literally JUST replied to me lmao

it looks like he keeps changing his methods. For a while, he was signing up on other instances like blacksky. Now I guess the move is hacking already established accounts.

I think we all know about that account

Does doing this require data centres. I can’t say whether it’s good or bad until I know

I think in pregnancy specifically craving meat is just an indicator of how your iron is going lol

I read something once about how The Office was obviously set during the Great Recession because it never occurs to hardly any employee there to leave their job under almost any circumstances (way beyond sitcom logic)

Our detractors are kind of right that it’s feels over reals in the end but that doesn’t make people’s feelings even remotely rational!

this website would tell you that at the time I was thinking “at least I’ll own a house someday and can afford healthcare” but I assure you I was not

In the Great Recession there were NO jobs where I lived (Flagstaff, AZ). I was 23 years old and working 8 hours a week at GameStop, which IIRC the store tried to guarantee everybody because then you could borrow games for free

those are his people! Aren’t they

I know there are people who want us to cower in terror about this guy’s political instincts but how about we don’t

I feel like the people defending this actually understand this perfectly well, they just agree. Otherwise they’d be too dumb to type

and in this case it seems almost certain that the intention *was* to kill him since the motive was that they are upset about what Sam Altman will do! not what his house might do. At the very least it was a threat to kill him

there is a reason why arson is up there with rape and murder on the list of major crimes

feel like im taking crazy pills!

the social pressure started when I was pregnant! whenever I ate meat while pregnant people would be like “oh yeah boys are like that” it’s truly wild

fandom-specific fights were readily available as well I suppose

Were you in the stupid_free ecosystem or the ONTD ecosystem

That’s true you were formerly much more able to choose your own adventure based on your own tolerance for fighting

What’s wrong with me?!

I’ve noticed a lot of people feel the structure of modern social media websites incentivizes them to argue and maybe that’s true but I’ve been fighting with people online since I was like 12 years old

I’m this close to learning to cook from Chopped, just need somebody to hand me a basket full of gummy bears, pre-prepared sushi, and a random cut of meat
