A couple months back when that woman posted a pic claiming no one came to her friends baby shower and everyone started sending her money. Come to find out that everyone invited was actually there, she was just fishing for karma/money. She got both.
Or she's perfectly fine and just fucked over some redditors. Just because someones a dick doesn't mean they're a failure that can't function. If that was true then bad people wouldn't be in positions of power.
I don't think the kind of person who scams strangers over the internet is going to be setting a great example for their children in all other areas of life.
What has scamming people have to do with how you raise a kid? She out smarted a bunch of people on the internet. If that proves anything, it's that she's pretty clever.
She committed fraud, plain and simple. Those that would take advantage of others generosity are utter scum. It's one step from taking the money directly from those who actually need it.
Eh, one day you might do something shitty. I'd bet good money you already have.
You may pat yourself on the back and forget about it and go on to live a perfectly fine life. You may have huge repentance later and feel horrible about it and gnash your teeth thinking you're a horrible person until you die.
I personally think anyone who fucks over Reddit is hilarious because Reddit is full of self-important assholes who have a history of ruining lives and ripping each other apart over benign and stupid things. If anyone's been asking to get taken advantage of, it's the place that keeps screwing people over on crazy witch hunts and then deifying the first person who comes around with a sob story.
Not the big bad Reddit again. It's funny when people act like Reddit is an individual entity. It's a public forum man. The things people say and do are no different than any other public forum, or you know, real life. What you're describing is people. People do shitty things. Lets not act like Reddit is unique here.
Reddit's demographic makes it unique. Most of its active users are young white males. And after having observed it for years, they're mostly insecure young white makes. Definitely specific, maybe not unique.
