I will never stop being excited for this.

I appreciate the Moomlaut

I started reading because I saw the picture and expected to learn about some pangolin themed dog costume. The actual post has somehow surpassed my expectations and disappointed me at the same time. Idk what to do with that but it’s shaping up to be a wild day on the internet.

Can’t be sad about being poor if you just stop wanting things.

Literally every single time!

Get out of bed early

Log in to work laptop

Go back to bed

Sleep in that much longer

Profit

Help me step bro I’m stuck in the washing machine!

Not great. Thanks for asking.

It is materially different because a person with dementia can’t legally advocate for themselves so it is easier for an action against them to be considered a crime.

Fraud in the sense that the guy is lying and profiting from it, sure. But the common / google definition of a word and the legal definition/ application of that word are two completely different things.

I mean the article itself is apparently satire so yeah.

Your grandma having dementia changes the formula a bit.

It’s a poor definition because gift exchanges are strictly voluntary and non-reciprocal engagements. I’m not saying what he did was ok or even legal in other contexts. My only point is that I wouldn’t consider this fraud because the victims were not compelled to give. This isn’t a Nigerian prince scam where the victims were promised greater returns at a later date. These victims gave with the expectation of monetary loss.

At the top-left corner of the image we see a support bracket for the hand rail. The orientation of this bracket only seems to make sense if we are at the bottom of the stairs looking up at the mattress. The shadow cast by the mattress also looks like the light is above and slightly closer to the camera.

If we were at the top looking down, that would imply that the hand rail brackets were sideways instead of being vertical, and that the light was mounted on the wall instead of the ceiling. I have seen stranger things in construction but it would still be strange and unlikely.

Hoping that isn’t real because that’s kind of an f-ed up definition for fraud. Also, what a legend.

I’m so tired of ragebait working.

If you were talking about someone else, you would probably say something along the lines of “everyone deserves to be loved” so when you start being down on yourself, just remember that though means one of two things:

Either you really are somehow the worst human being who ever lived and somehow the first who truly doesn’t deserve to be loved, or your brain is just being mean right now.

So you are fiscally irresponsible and you are proud of it? Good to know…

My god! He’s done it!

I respect your opinion. I don’t feel the same.
