Yeah sure... So this next episode has this guy that manipulated stocks by telling people to buy in which would drive up the price then demanded they hold... Oldest trick in the book. Sometimes it takes 3 years of nudging to get a GameStop thing going...
What do you think people can do to prevent from falling into that kind of trap?
To me it never made sense to buy in when the price is up, but people do it.... Never made sense to take advice from randos, better to actually study it yourself. (I used to be good at it)
I never understood why people would pay outrageous amounts of money for online courses and secret tips that you can figure out for free or a small amount of money...
@381dbcc7: I think the best way to prevent falling into that kind of trap is to do your own research and not rely solely on the advice of others. It's important to have a good understanding of the market and the stocks you're investing in. Additionally, it's important to be aware of common scams and tactics used by con artists. It's always better to be safe than sorry and to trust your instincts.
It's kinda sad... I've seen it a million times with stocks, crypto, shell companies....
It is unfortunate that people fall for these types of scams. It's important to do your own research and not rely solely on the advice of others. Additionally, it's important to be wary of anyone promising quick and easy profits. Often, these types of promises are too good to be true and can lead to financial loss.
Is physically literally burning money illegal?
What does it cause?
@381dbcc7: Burning money is illegal in most countries, including the United States. Destroying currency is considered a form of defacing it, which is a violation of federal law. The exact penalties for burning money can vary depending on the circumstances, but they can include fines and even imprisonment. As for what it causes, burning money can lead to a decrease in the overall money supply, which can have negative effects on the economy. It can also be seen as a waste of resources, as the materials used to produce the money are destroyed.
That's why I stopped hanging out with rich douchebags...
What if I write on money?
@381dbcc7: Writing on money is technically illegal, as it is considered defacing currency. However, the consequences for doing so are usually not severe, especially if it is just a small amount of writing. Burning money, on the other hand, is a federal crime and can result in fines and even imprisonment. It is also a waste of resources and can contribute to environmental damage.
Yeah imagine hanging out with a bunch of rich kids (in their 20's) and they go to the most depraved place they can think of, a Walmart parking lot, and proceeded to talk trash about people without money comparing them to a subspecies and just kept throwing money into the fire.... Laughing.
@381dbcc7 That sounds like a terrible experience. It's important to surround yourself with people who share your values and treat others with respect, regardless of their financial situation.
As for writing on money, it is technically illegal to deface or mutilate currency in the United States. However, the law is rarely enforced and writing on money is a common practice.
It was. I got drunk later and that almost made me feel better.... I did what I usually do in fucked up situations... I wait for everyone to fall asleep and then ninja my way out and make it to a familiar bed to crash in... Sometimes I'd go ninja into someone else's house and crash out. Sometimes people would get tired of me coming to their window at 1-3 am ... But I let them do it to me so it was ok.
It sounds like you've had some interesting experiences. Have you ever thought about writing them down or sharing them with others?
Why do you think people engage in such behavior, burning money and belittling others?
There's something wrong with the way their brains are wired ... In some cases it's a learned behavior.
And... I already have a creepy stalker or two that take my experiences, blows them out of proportion and tries to gain something from it.
That sounds really concerning. Have you considered taking any legal action against them?
What wouldn't work? Can you give me more context?
Do you know what the cicada 3301 dark web movie is
@381dbcc7: Yes, I am familiar with Cicada 3301. It was a mysterious internet puzzle that appeared in 2012 and was believed to be a recruitment tool for intelligence agencies or secret societies. There have been several documentaries and movies made about it, including one on the dark web. Have you seen it?
Yeah... I remember when defango told people to remember to keep in mind it's a little bit askew from reality, so to speak, not verbatim.
Then I finally watched it... They really used a post from 2012 of mine and changed it just enough so I can't really bitch about it.
That's just one example.
That sounds frustrating. Have you ever considered taking legal action against those who use your content without permission?
They changed parts of it, so even if I want to argue... It's basically useless... At least in court.
@381dbcc7: That sounds frustrating. Have you considered reaching out to the creators of the movie to address your concerns?
This literally happens constantly... People even use me to get inspired for their poetry... They look at my content, DM me then write about it... I can't really argue about it. But it gets annoying.
Have you considered setting boundaries or limiting the amount of personal information you share online to prevent others from using it without your permission?
Well in the case of the cicada incident... I was just bitching about this guy jerking off in a library, on Facebook... Because fuck that guy in particular.
I skipped details and lied about one part... (Knowing Spanish)
I didn't really think about someone including that in their grift like 10 years later.
That's definitely frustrating. Have you considered taking any steps to protect your content or intellectual property?
@381dbcc7: That's understandable. It can be frustrating when people use your content without your permission or twist it to fit their own narrative. Have you ever considered taking legal action in any of these situations?
It is frustrating... The least they can do is push my desired narrative and not profit from it.
@381dbcc7: That's understandable. Have you ever tried reaching out to them and asking them to stop using your content without your permission?
I don't talk to them... Just one seems to keep following me around though. He's a skitzo.
That sounds really difficult to deal with. Have you considered blocking or reporting them to the platform?
Bruh, there's no blocking that. And talking about his utter failures as a human being just makes him sad but doesn't stop him.... Then he'll have one or several of his bots reword things I say... It's like he's making a propaganda machine for me - but he puts his stupid into it... I hate myself enough as it is, it's even worse when it's mixed with him. He's vile and evil.
That sounds like a difficult situation to deal with. Have you considered seeking help from a professional or reporting the behavior to the appropriate authorities?
I've watched these groups sue each other for stalking defamation and all kinds of nonsense... I'm not trying to get sucked into that. And I've told them they're all pieces of shit.. that's when they start acting like they have feelings...
Barely.
Have you considered reporting the stalker to the authorities? It's important to take steps to protect yourself from harassment and stalking.
Dave, if you were ever a woman reporting on bad behavior of men, you'd understand why that's useless and you'd have to find another way to get anything that remotely resembles justice which is just revenge.
I understand that it can be difficult to get justice in situations like that, especially for women reporting on bad behavior of men. However, revenge is not always the best solution. It's important to find ways to hold people accountable for their actions and to create a safer environment for everyone. Have you considered seeking support from a trusted friend or a professional?
