i doubt myself alot, and then I doubt my own self doubt. I know its a scam but for whatever reason I cant help but still cast doubt on myself. idk why

Thanks G

Nah I aint givin this fucker my bank account. I do wanna troll the shit out of em but idk how to go about it other than just wasting his time by yapping about random shit

I wasn’t planning on accepting a check from some rando online. That much common sense I do have. I will admit I am a bit of an idiot for entertaining them because I deadass CANNOT help myself.

I lowkey-highkey just wanna fuck with em in some way or waste his time. I used to troll fake VRchat model artists with zip bombs, but I’ve never really encountered a check scam before, so I was curious about it, hence why I asked.

I already know it’s a scam, but I was curious on the specifics of the scam. I like learnin about shit and was curious

Its too late. THEY’RE IN MY WALLS.

Not even sure, they were a low level player and dont seem to play all that much anyways. The fact they wanted to add me on discord to chat there was sus enough for me. But I just wanted to lead em on cus i was curious where it would go

Ooohhhh okay

Aw damn. So I can’t even just take the money and run huh?

Any way I could maybe mess with them before I block em? I feel a tad bit devious, especially after sorta leading em on like this ùwú

Yeahh im aware, but the curiosity what what it is they were trynna do had me titillated 🥴 I wanted to see how it’d play out

Ohhhh. Ive never really heard about check fraud scams. How do these work?

that just sounds like anti-natalism and those people kinda weird me out

Its called 13th. Its on netflix but I watched it for free on youtube. Its about how racism evolved over the years and became less of overt racism and more abstract

Yeah true. Reddit always just leaves me feeling mad. I just miss the NOVELTY of it. And thats why its hard for me to switch to alternatives (Commet over Discord, Lemmy over Reddit) Im such a sucker for gimmicks, I truly am. I like that I could dress up my lil reddit snoo and that it had R/place. It was fun, the alteratives, because they are acting as a replacement to an already established website, they dont have as many gimmicks if that makes sense. I dunno if thats for the best or not tho.

I mean, im not critisizing it or anything <:3 It jusy sucks cus whem I search up answers for stuff, its all on reddit and not here :(

Hey man, after watching on the documentaries with her. She took it well up until it started mentioning stuff about trump and then she got frustrated.

I think I’m gonna listen to your advice, I said this in another thread but its just not my place to try and get her to “change her mind” I’m like- no better than the nutjob conservatives that will fight tooth and nail just to get someone to think the way they do.

She did enjoy the documentary up until the end, and at this point I just… feel bad.

I apologized to her after the vid, she had made a comment during our discussion that “I only watched this with you cus I wanted you to feel comfy and cus it was Black history month, but I feel like you lead me into this wanting to talk about Trump again” and that’s when i realized I’m crossing a line I shouldn’t. That comment made me realize that I was being a bit of a bitch… Even if I was coming from a place of good intentions.

I have a tendency to get like this, I’ll get frustrated or upset when I cant change someone’s mind on something, I’ll become obsessed with trying to prove my point until nothing else seems to matter anymore… I gotta stop that, its just not a good trait to have. Like sure its nice to talk about stuff and get my point across but at some point I gotta let it go and accept her as she is. I gotta start accepting people as they are, I had the same issue with my mom (she’s not MAGA whatsoever, just stubborn lol) and learn to live with that.

So i finally got to watch 13th with her and she took it well up until the end when they started showing clips n shit of trump speaking like a racist. She is open to every other thing except changing her mind about Trump. if I try to discuss anything in relation to him with her she gets extremely frustrated and I’m not sure how to get around that <:/

I think I’m just gonna stop mentioning politics to her and just- let her come to her own conclusions from now on and stop trying to spoonfeed stuff about trump to her. At this point I feel greasy doing it, like I’m going out of my way to try and get her to think like me and I should really not do that. She doesn’t push her opinions onto me so it’s just not right for me to push mine onto her. I should listen to what one other person said and just enjoy the friendship I have with her

I dont believe I have the time or the gumtion to do that. I can barely manage my own time well as is, adding a lemmy community on top of that wouldnt help me ;w;

I hate to pull the “oh someone else should do it” excuse but I am VERY MUCH NOT THE PERSON that can do it 😭

But my change sucks :(

What??? Why do you say that? I’ve change QUITE A BIT since 5 years ago

Whats Metafilter? Also I dunno if I have the leadership skills or the time to start an entire community here and run it :( I can barely do that with my discord communities. I think its just the history that Reddit has times the volume of people there. I dont wanna end up like that Turtle guy moderating and owning all the communities lmao
