If you've got the time to spare, I'm pretty sure there are no downsides to fucking with these sorts of spammers, so definitely go and have some fun doing that. It can lead you down some fun roads.

The best part is that I didn't send the passport to "the guy wanting to give me money". I put it in the form that the supposed HSBC sent me, then the original email address sent it back to me angry and accusing me of trying to scam him out of his money. The whole thing was just a real fun time, honestly.

Whilst I wait to see, as a fun fact for you, I once had one of these idiots threaten to call the Metropolitan Police on me. This was after, among other things, I sent him "my passport", quote-unquote, which was just Jorgi Costava's fake passport from Papers, Please. Man, that was a heck of a ride.

Been a while since I decided to toy with one of these. Wonder if I'll get anything fun back...

You know, on the one hand, I'm glad to have my bipolar disorder under control. On the other, it means I get to be depressed about something I can't get help with: the fact I'm trapped in a rapidly collapsing country that couldn't care less about or for my existence. Woo... :blobcatoh:

Asking for financial aid 

So thanks to my family's insurance fucking us over to the tune of 6 grand, and rent seekers magically losing our checks to them, we're about $7k in the hole.

If you could help us out a little to ease the financial blow, that would be great. I personally want to hang the insurance company who suddenly decided that we owe them money over something that they should have been covering.

Also, I enjoy gender "Fellow". That's pretty neat, I guess.

HOLY SHIT RFC 6350 IS BEAUTIFUL. RFC 6350 defines the vCard format, and check out these examples for GENDER! "it's complicated" with no marker. I love it.

winter storm, tx...pol? 

In case you're curious how Texas' grid is holding up this time around, it seems to be doing much better. ERCOT's reporting plenty of extra overhead and I haven't been hit with any rolling blackouts, so I don't doubt it. Power went out for a little bit, presumably a downed line or something, but it came back on within, like, 30 minutes. So, yeah. Doing better than it was this time last year.

PSA Pronouns 

Remember that pronouns and gender are two separate things that, usually aligned, don't have to be aligned to each other. You could be masc-alined and use feminine-aligned pronouns, and vice versa.

Let's try not to police how we use our own pronouns. Our choice of pronouns are a decision that's ours and ours alone to make.

As a fun fact, that quilt in the background was handmade by my grandmother. It's also very cozy :bunhdcomfyhappy: :bunhdheart:

(I mean, yeah, there's a plethora of reasons they can't be trusted with power, but we're just talking about nuking the moon right now. Stay on topic.)

Show thread

I leave you with this question: why the fuck does anyone think these two countries, countries that wanted to nuke the fucking moon, mind you, deserved any sort of power. Clearly, they couldn't be trusted. Sheesh.

Show thread

It does get a bit better, though, as the Soviets had no plans for if their nuke missed. They just wanted to nuke the moon but if they messed up, that bomb would end up coming back to earth.

Show thread

So, uh, here's a fun fact for you: both the USA and USSR had plans to, in effect, nuke the moon. Ostensibly, at least in the USA's case, it was for science, but for both, it was also to send a message, presumably about their ability to nuke things that didn't deserve it. Ultimately, neither would actually carry out their plans, because, let's face it, who the fuck nukes the moon?! Why?!
