I am very much over this ongoing micro martyring of Pete Buttigieg with the implication being pushed, that he's really being picked on for being Homosexual, not allegedly incompetent as Transportation Secretary. Buttigeig was/is a whole ass bigot, who got a makeover at lightning speed. This is all total bullshit, when it's pretty obvious that not only are many of the GOP Homosexual, but many, many....MANY of the modern Democratic Party are, also. Why else would they push such toxic movements onto our children, with the full approval of the Republican Party? If you choose to expose your kids, they got you. If you reject it... likely swinging hard right, they still got you. Fuck all of Congress. Get on their asses, to get real shit done.

One of these days some enterprising con artist is going to make up a fake quirky little sci-fi movie, claim that it's been fully produced but Warner Bros. permanently shelved it for a tax writeoff, raise a couple million dollars in crowdfunding to "buy back the rights", then disappear off the face of the planet and take the money with them, and they'll 100% get away with it because really, who are we going to believe?

As we head into tax time, I just want to make sure everyone knows
ANYONE CONTACTING YOU VIA PHONE ABOUT UNPAID TAXES ARE SCAMMERS
IF THERE IS A GENUINE TAX PROBLEM, THE IRS WILL CONTACT YOU VIA CERTIFIED LETTER THROUGH THE MAIL, AND ONLY VIA CERTIFIED LETTER THROUGH THE MAIL

this may be an unpopular opinion, but i personally think that jeff and britta should've gotten married back in season 3 and just dealt with the consequences of that action for the rest of the show

PSA: Do not support Banana Pie
He is asking for money to cover his due taxes, this means he is actively evading taxes because he begs for donations every year around this time and then DELETES ALL HIS POSTS WHEN HE GETS IT.
By my estimation a $9000 bill from his country's tax authority means he must be making around ~$60,000 or so income which he did not declare.
Tumblr media
THIS IS A CRIME OR A SCAM
By law you cannot receive donations to cover your income tax because that donation will have to be taxed too. This is enforced by PayPal
Do not support Banana Pie, he did this EXACT THING, four years ago.
Proof that he has done this in the past here : https://tlamodblog.tumblr.com/post/621245712876879872/rant
Notice how his entire account gets scrubbed every year? Gee a wonder why

Serious Brain: you people really think that if Farmworld Finn was dead Jay and Little Destiny would look as put together as they do? That they'd be anywhere near As healthy as they clearly are if they were raising four kid as kids? You really think Finn Mertens Son would Abandon his orphaned siblings?
Joke Brain: Maybe Jay takes after grandpa Martin, we dont know him like that...

Common scams and you
Hello everyone!
I'm finally writing out the idea that has been floating around in my head for a while now, and I'm honestly surprised there's no videos on youtube (that I've found) that talk about the most common scams that are out there on the internet that you may encounter.
So! Let's start.
#1. Virus pop up scams.
These types of scams are based around inciting panic and fear in those that encounter them. They are generally encountered by mistyping a url in the search bar that then leads you to a web page containing a flashy visual alert (and sometimes audio alert) stating something like the following:
Your system is at risk! # Viruses found! Warning!
Your system has been compromised!
Viruses / Trojans found!
The majority of which then provide a phone number that scam victims would call to get the issue 'resolved.' Those who fall for this scam contact the call center seeking help, and those there- the scammers, lull their victims into a false sense of security that they'll solve the issue. They then have their victims download remote access software such as AnyDesk and UltraViewer.
These programs allow a user who connects complete and TOTAL CONTROL of your computer. They can view your screen, track what you type or click, not to mention they can lock it, and they can change the password, holding it at ransom. They can do pretty much ANYTHING as long as the software is installed. It runs in the background and they can monitor everything you do.
They will tell you that to get rid of the virus/'hack', you must pay a certain amount (usually between $300-$1k or more) for them to clean your computer and 'add an antivirus'.
They will tell you that you need to go to walmart/wallgreens to get gift cards. Or they will ask you to provide banking details so that they can steal your banking/login information to transfer money via zelle or other methods while under the control of the remote access application.
If you or anyone you know has made it to the installation part of this scam, make sure to disconnect the internet immediately and uninstall the program that they installed upon the computer.
This scam can ALSO happen to people on mobile. There are websites and apps configured to show that you've got a virus, and much like above, it will tell you that you need to call a phone number or download an app to get it resolved.
Clicking off the page / notification gets rid of it. There was never any virus to worry about. So don't worry too much if you see something like this while browsing the internet. Just try and be safe!
#2. E-Mail scams.
The most notorious of all of e-mail scams that I've encountered over the years are as follows:
Your <brand> anti-virus has expired. Click here to re-new!
You have been charged <huge amount> for <brand> anti-virus. If this is a mistake please call <phone number> to get this resolved.
You have received a PayPal invoice from <scammer name/brand> for <huge amount> please call <phone number>.
Much like the virus pop up scam, these scams follow a similar path when it comes to the end result. You call them, they have you install a remote access application, they tell you to pay x amount of money so they can install their 'anti-virus', and/or they do a fake 'scan' in the console, and likely install a real virus that harvests your information.
All in all, best to avoid it/delete the e-mail. No proper anti-virus is going to send you an e-mail telling you to call them. Nor are they going to charge you $300 for a 'renewal.'
As for the paypal invoice, just ignore it and check your actual paypal. If there's no invoice, there never was one in the first place. Flag it as trash and delete it.
#3 Phone scams.
These can be scary, especially if you've got a son, daughter, or relative who might live out of town.
Mom/Dad I lost my phone can you send me money for a new one?
Hey I'm with your kid and they're hurt/arrested/etc can you send me some money to pay the ambulance/bail/etc.
Your kid said I'd bring you these things and you'd pay me.
This is <name> from <fake business/tech support> on behalf of apple/microsoft to let you know your warranty has expired.
Sadly this means that your phone number has likely been leaked online somewhere, and scammers are now attempting to use it to get money from you. Best advice is to hang up and block the number immediately before calling your child/family member to make sure they're okay.
#4. Text Scams.
These are generally pretty easy to notice, and pretty easy to avoid, if you know what to look out for.
Any random number that texts you with something akin to the following, is a scam:
THIS IS <FAKE NAME> FROM THE UNITED STATES <FAKE COMPANY> TO INFORM YOU THAT YOU'VE WON <MILLIONS OF DOLLARS>. PLEASE FILL OUT THE FORM BELOW TO HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR WINNINGS.
Fedex has your package click this link to update your information.
UPS has failed to deliver your package. click this link to-
Hi <name that's not yours> are we set for our <event> next <day>?
<name not yours> I'm looking forward to <activity> next <day>. Are you going to be busy?
While links to scammy websites are easy to avoid, the last two might not be so easy to some people. Replying to them in any form puts you on a list of 'active numbers' for them to target. They will text you repeatedly with different prompts which all lead down the same line.
You say 'wrong number', they say 'this isn't <name>?' you say 'no' they say 'i'm so sorry i thought this was <name>' you say 'no problem' they say 'oh you're so kind want to be friends?' which then leads into 'i'm <fake name> from China/Singapore/<country> but I live in california/new york. I'm a fashion designer/investor/owner of a small company' and they send a fake picture of them which is likely stolen from somewhere online. They also ask for you to send them YOUR pictures. Don't do this.
End goal is for you to download WatsApp/Telegram to send them money and/or invest in fake crypto.
There are also text scams similar to those mentioned above where it's someone pretending to be a sugar mommy/daddy and they try to get you to spend time and hook up with them. They ask you to pay a 'fee' so they know you're 'legit' or something which, of course, is just a way to get you to send them money.
#5. Facebook Scams.
These are rather new, but once you know the signs, you'll know how to avoid them.
When buying/selling something on facebook, if someone says they can't pick it up but <brother/sister/cousin> can and they ask if you take cashapp, zelle, etc, it's a scam.
If you or someone you know who is older/elderly is contacted by someone who's in the military/ex-military/ex-cia/ex-fbi etc and they flood your DM's with affection and kindness and lots of love and attention in an effort to get you in a relationship with them, this is known as a romance scam.
They will ask for money to 'get a new phone' or 'to send pictures because my camera is broken.' or to 'buy a plane ticket to come see you'. It's a scam, a big scam, and a lot of elderly people have been scammed out of a lot of money because of it. They will call you and talk to you and say they love you and all that kissy kissy mwah junk just to build trust so they can try and get money.
It's not real. As sad as that is to say, all these people are after is money.
If you know anyone who might be in any of these situations, PLEASE try and talk some sense into them. Especially if they've sent large amounts of money to someone over the internet. Google is your best friend, and there is information out there for people who want to find it.
All in all, just make sure you're careful in who you trust.
#6. Discord/Steam Scams.
These can be less obvious to those who aren't tech savvy, but once you know the signs they're hard to miss.
Anyone who randomly DM's you about beta-testing their 'new game' is trying to get you to click a link that leads to a website containing an application that contains a virus. This will harvest your information and give the hacker access to everything on your computer.
Anyone who randomly DM's you saying that they found 'compromising photos/information of you online' most likely will try to get you to click a virus link that will infect your computer.
Anyone who randomly DM's you saying they 'reported you to the discord/steam admins' for something inappropriate/illegal will try to get you to contact their 'friend' who is a 'discord/steam admin' to get it resolved.
This will either involve them sending you a virus link or trying to get you to send them money/gift cards to get the issue 'resolved.' They will also sometimes send you to a legit looking steam page which is fake and will harvest your steam login data.
Again, these are easy to notice once you know the signs. Just note that sometimes your friends might send you messages like these or ask for money, which in that case their account was likely compromised/hacked. Make sure to report them so that discord/steam can help get the account back in the right hands.
I know I've likely forgotten some other types of scams but for now these are the most common that people should keep an eye out and look for.
Protect yourself and protect others!

That's not all either, the part of Lethal Company that absolutely shames triple A is one simple fact:
It's made on a shoestring budget, as an experiment, it's 3D models are horrifically made, by someone who clearly didn't watch a tutorial and just went with it.
"Games are so expensive to make"
No the fuck they aren't. Graphics are.
Here's something for ya: The arm textures are on backwards, the hand model is rotated the wrong way which is why they break so heavily, there's missing/bad polygons everywhere, and the texture sheet, oh my god, the texture sheet is the worst I've seen.
And yet, still, 10/10 game. Doesn't matter that it's graphics aren't impressive, it's artistry is off the charts. Doesn't matter that the models are unoptimised or poorly put together, because they get the job done well, and it's so easy to run that it doesn't even matter that they're unoptimized.
He made a good game. Reminder. He. Singular. 16yo. Made Lethal Company.
No triple a company can compete with the 16 year old, let that sink in.

the word terrorist has lost pretty much all meaning to me because 90% of the time a white person says that word its used as a shorthand for 'nonwhite people resisting oppression'

I really hope Hermie gets a true villain arc, maybe after learning more about his real dads and who/what they are. He's always done the shapeshifting thing kinda subconsciously, what if once he learns it's an actual thing he can do he like...loses control over himself ?? I mean both his bio dad's are some form of reality benders (scam being scam and Jodie being both the king of hell and from another timeline meshed into this one) i feel like once he figures that out he'd be terrifyingly powerful with VERY LITTLE CONTROL OVER HIMSELF!! especially with his whole identity crisis going on
Anywayz it's almost 1am that's enough hermie rambling goodnight father fandom 🙏

sorry I don’t think I was around at the time and everything with bbg is already convoluted and confusing enough for me as it is. Can you briefly explain boobgate to me? B was found to have had plastic surgery on her breast at the time she was supposedly pregnant and seems to have lead to this mess in recent years to compensate/not have any more slip ups? Is that the gist?
In 2020/2021 Briana had a new boyfriend who paid for her breast implants (that she didn’t even take care of like how hard is it to massage them) but then after he paid for them she ghosted him and so he sued her and went to the papers about how Louis has abandoned the kid (which we already knew because Louis went radio silence from 2018-2020 with the kid) and then talked about the fact that to avoid having a formal, legal custody arrangement Louis agreed not to take a paternity test and just pay Briana $60,000 a year in child support.
This was a big problem because since this was an actual court case and he wanted paid back for the boob job Briana’s finances would be looked at. And if her finances were looked at they might see Briana getting $60,000 tax free (as child support in the USA is given) but then she’s not spending it on her son… or maybe the courts would find that Briana ISNT getting $60,000 tax free, instead she’s getting taxed on it (because it’s an employment cost) or she’s being paid as an independent contractor who is responsible for filing taxes on that $60,000. Whatever way it was looking into the finances of Briana’s compensation was going to be a problem and Louis/LTHQ had to step in to wrangle it.
Therefore Briana (and the Clarks) lost basically all rights to doing stuff, the house she was living in just got sold, and we got Freddie in the documentary because Louis had to clean up the mess she caused by scamming some dude for fake boobs. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Oh and they never went to their court date! They settled out of court. Because again. They could not have this looked at under a microscope that is a legal court case.
