#and it's also a scam

The fact that there used to be a reality show where people competed to be mentored in business by professional conman and 4-times bankruptcy declarer Donald Trump, and it ran for 17 fucking seasons and only got canceled because he became fucking President of the United States.
We're living in the parody timeline.
#like I know people call him reality show host all the time#but I need it to really sink in how that WAS his major success#he was losing billions on real estate#he gained billions by lying about his success on TV#Donald Trump is Donald Trump's only successful product#and it's also a scam#maybe the biggest scam of all

If they claim they can cure your condition that you have been told is incurable, run. If they claim they cured themselves, run. If they claim they have cured everything from cancer to lupus holistically, run. If they claim you have to buy only supplements from them, run. If they claim they that only thing that will cure is x but x costs tons of money, run. If they refuse to run tests or address your diagnosed conditions before insisting you do an expensive treatment not covered by insurence, run. If they offer a one size fits all treatment/cure, run.
I have been scammed by "holistic" and "naturalistic" people before as a chronically ill person. In fact it was an actual doctor who went to medical school who scammed me for years. So watch out. If it seems too good to be true it probably is.
#to be clear im not 100% againist hollisic stuff#but some people will use it as a buzzword to scam#also some conditons need traditonal medicine or you will die#chronic pain#spoonie#chronically ill#invisable disability#disabled#physically disabled#endometriosis#disability#chronic illness

Dashcon may have failed but it has one of the biggest legacies of any con. Every failed con and festival since gets called the "The Dashcon of X" like how -Gate gets added to every scandal. People Photoshop the ball pit into pics from said failed events. No one's attempted another Tumblr convention in the nearly decade since.
They may have failed at making a convention, but they did make a legend.

speaking of empires characters joel reminded me of: i do still maintain that while i love ocean empire lizzie being a fish from the start in fics (because i love Creature worldbuilding). so many people still miss the absolute FUNNIEST parts of her character. which were:
she wasn't actually a fish from the start, she instead was just a lady who decided to build her kingdom on the ocean and then halfway through had a horrifying lovecraftian transformation into a fish lady because it turns out she was secretly an ocean goddess with amnesia the entire time
she then decided to sell the equivalent of tourist trap nessie tours about it.
truly, the perfect woman,
#empires smp#ldshadowlady#SO MANY PEOPLE just make lizzie joel's perfect ocean goddess wife#which is missing the point. the point is that she is ALSO deeply weird.#and also probably scamming you as you speak.

Love the idea of Philip coming into the isles with the same I’M THE HERO mentality as Luz. He never grows out of this fantasy. Well at least one of them got to see it through!
#when the enemy and heroine parallel#I am weak#the owl house#toh#philip wittebane#emperor belos#luz noceda#time travel shenanigans#Anywhen but Here!#just them#being so wrapped up in their obsession with witches#but in the end#only one of them is delusional#amoritasart#the way he just realized he’s not the main character#he also probably got scammed a few times by wizards playing into his hero complex

So if you follow me (and aren't just stopping by because you saw one of my funney viralposts), you probably know that I've been writing a bunch of fanfiction for Stranger Things, which is set in rural Indiana in the early- to mid-eighties. I've been working on an AU where (among other things) Robin, a character confirmed queer in canon, gets integrated into a friend group made up of a number of main characters. And I got a comment that has been following me around in the back of my mind for a while. Amidst fairly usual talk about the show and the AU and what happens next, the commenter asked, apparently in genuine confusion, "why wouldn't Robin just come out to the rest of the group yet? They would be okay with it."
I did kind of assume, for a second or two, that this was a classic case of somebody confusing what the character knows with what the author/audience knows. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like it embodies a real generational shift in thinking that I hadn't even managed to fully comprehend until this comment threw it into sharp perspective.
Because, my knee-jerk reaction was to reply to the comment, "She hasn't come out to these people she's only sort-of known for less than a year because it's rural Indiana. In the nineteen-eighties." and let that speak for itself. Because for me and my peers, that would speak for itself. That would be an easy and obvious leap of logic. Because I grew up in a world where you assumed, until proven otherwise, that the general society and everyone around you was homophobic. That it was unsafe to be known to be queer, and to deliberately out yourself required intention and forethought and courage, because you would get negative reactions and you had to be prepared for the fallout. Not from everybody! There were always exceptions! But they were exceptions. And this wasn't something you consciously decided, it wasn't an individual choice, it wasn't an individual response to trauma, it wasn't individual. It was everybody. It was baked in, and you didn't question it because it was so inherently, demonstrably obvious. It was Just The Way The World Is. Everybody can safely be assumed to be homophobic until proven otherwise.
And what this comment really clarified for me, but I've seen in a million tiny clashing assumptions and disconnects and confusions I've run into with The Kids These Days, is that a lot of them have grown up into a world that is...the opposite. There are a lot of queer kids out there who are assuming, by default, that everybody is not homophobic, until proven otherwise. And by and large, the world is not punishing them harshly for making that assumption, the way it once would have.
The whole entire world I knew changed, somehow, very slowly and then all at once. And yes, it does make me feel like a complete space alien just arrived to Earth some days. But also, it makes me feel very hopeful. This is what we wanted for ourselves when we were young and raw and angrily shoving ourselves in everyone's faces to dare them to prove themselves the exception, and this is what I want for The Kids These Days.
(But also please, please, Kids These Days, do try to remember that it has only been this way since extremely recently, and no it is not crazy or pathetic or irrational or whatever to still want to protect yourself and be choosy about who you share important parts of yourself with.)
#also Kids These Days please if nobody's told you: you can't send cheques through email#and if somebody sends you one through email They Are A Scammer and Yes They Are Scamming You#that's not related I just am constantly tearing my hair out about how many people of ALL AGES don't know that#something something something invoking the fuck word in the hopes it will keep this poast from search#i love how the internet has created Magic Words Of Power#unfortunately most of those words perform the action of 'summon jackass idiots to comment on your post'#i am paraphrasing the comment that was left on my AU fic because I am too lazy to go looking for it right now but#it was very similar to that wording#this is just a thing that has been rattling around in my brain and it was finally smoothed out and polished enough to come out

Saw a post being like “if a fundraiser is a scam who cares if some people lose $15 to a scam anyway” and it really has me caught off guard because it’s like ?? Any genuine concern is not for a few people losing out on some money - it’s that people in need, the intended recipients, don’t get the money. And they are not losing out on one donation, they get the cumulative effect of however many donations are instead scooped up by grifters. There’s only so much money people are able to give.
#this isn’t an opinion on who is legit or not because I’m not following it#just seeing some wild takes about charity scams#also imo it’s different than like interrogating random panhandlers imo because they are so much more limited in scope compared to online#also panhandling is much more work than having a gofundme so like … I imagine there’s less people trying to exploit it

Alternate timeline where Stanley doesn’t accidentally ruin Ford’s project but he still doesn’t get into Geek Life University bc some kid showed up with a baking soda volcano
#Happens every time I’m telling ya#gravity falls#stanford pines#stanley pines#a tale of two stans#Y’all I just thought of smth fucked up#Remember that baby pic where ford was reaching towards the yellow triangle?#What if bill’s always been there#Cuz perpetual motion machines aren’t scientifically possible (think it’s bc entropy or smth to do w/ thermodynamics)#Ford couldn’t have made one—no one can#Either he was scamming them or (if what I said abt bill above is correct) *he* fucked w/ Ford’s machine to make it weird#Bc ford getting into a top school means he has more opportunities which means a better chance of getting the portal built#And then when Ford starts being like “screw your cipher” bill’s like “oh you think you can just *leave* me; I *made* you sixer!”#“I’m the reason you got into that fancy pants college! You honestly think you could’ve built that machine#We may be a team but I’m the mvp—always have been”#Okay I know it’s far-fetched but what is the gf fandom if not full of far-fetched theories (ain’t even a theory really more like an excuse#for angst and also bc of the fact that Ford invented Physics Breaker 5000 was slwsys a sticking point for me FOR SOME REASON)#Like I truly don’t know why that of all things bothers me#I really did just devolve into fanfic in the tags of a shitpost—oh and ig ford got into west cost in that au/version of events#shitpost

Every time Li Yu complains about the "fish-scamming system" this appears in my mind
#the disabled tyrant's beloved pet fish#disabled tyrant's beloved pet fish#the disabled tyrant's pet palm fish#disabled tyrant's pet palm fish#dtbpf#dtppf#mu tianchi#li yu#it's not my fault “fish scamming system” reminds me of “self saving system”#especially when they're both transmigrator stories too#also if anyone is struggling with the system message it's “New Mission: Seduce the Tyrant!”#anyways I rly enjoyed the 2nd vol and I'm looking forward to the 3rd akjdskh#I love these dumb boys <3
