i learned that the World's Littlest Skyscraper in Wichita Falls was built in 1919. Remote investors were swindled by intentionally not indicating the units on the planned blueprints were in inches, not feet (x)

Was gonna check out some new mods today, but then got distracted by the craziest embezzling case in Vietnam's financial history, this real estate tycoon (Trương Mỹ Lan) stole what is an equivalent of 10% of Vietnam's entire GDP???????? (x)

#truong my lan #she put 10% of stolen money in CASH and stored it in her home basement?????? like how big is that basement #$44 billion USD total and $4b in her basement #idk in what currency she stored the cash in but if it's in VND that's even crazier because our largest denomination is less than $25 #when you scam so much money the news have to measure it using a country's GDP asdasadsas #me browsing my timeline today: why are Vietnamese policewomen on my twt timeline I recognize that uniform #'oh that's because they took the photos of her being escorted into the courtroom' #colin mumbles

i was typing out a jokey post about how “i don’t play video games anymore because having the oldest possible usable apple laptop is the bitter nail polish of breaking that addiction” when i got an email from a group list of aging alums from my parents’ old community in all caps saying “mac users i need to borrow an operating system installation disc, must be 10.1 or higher” a disc? OSX????

#like THEEEEEEE os x??? (well the first update to it but you know what i mean) #my laptop’s doing fine #i’m 100% sure someone on that list will have it too #and also i don’t want to get involved in tech support for that guy or he’s going to try and rope me into whatever stock market scam #he’s falling for today #so this is not a request for archival it support

Okay, time for my mixed feelings on Scam Likely and how nobody can escape the repetitive cycle of being an imperfect father. I’ll try to be objective as I break down the scene in Goofs Realm, but I’m in my Scam hater era.

THIS IS LONG, SORRYYYYYY

No father will be perfect in fiction or reality, and it’s a running theme of the show. The mistakes of your past define the present and the families have been constantly doomed to repeat them, but in new, fresh, fucked up ways. There are varying levels of mistakes all of them have made in the story, especially compared to Willy, but he’s his own special case.

Scam’s sin is ignorance. To the world around him and individuals’ feelings. Consistently he is shown to not realize outside of his Goofs that they can heavily affect other people in ways they do not like. That actions have consequences. His entire relationship with Jodie was a joke to him, while Jodie was left without his romantic partner a second time and was scammed out of a son (and in more ways than one since Hermie was spawned as a teenager instead of a baby). It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and now that someone is his son and he’s dead.

“He tries to hide the fact that he is actually emotionally affect by this, but he only got a 6, so you can see that he is genuinely upset.”

In his own way, Hermie does matter to him. I think Scam is a very hard being to compare to the rest of the cast because of his Goofs realm nature. He has an entirely different set of morals and ground rules of existence. For christ sake you die forever into nothingness in Goofs Realm if you stop being funny. But now Scam is confronted with a harsh truth and he can’t deny an emotional mode outside of Silly and Laughter.

“I didn’t even think of him as something that could die. He was just a goof. Goofs never die. It’s like- all jokes are always funny forever.”

We truly see Scam’s mindset here. Be it as a Goofs native or just who he is individually, he only thinks of The Big Joke of it all. Hermie was not an individual with feelings to be loved and raised (not that he even raised him at all), Hermie was just a joke to him. And it wasn’t even in any personal way. Everything is a joke to him.

“Where is he? Is he in Hell? Is he in Heaven?”

“I don’t know! He doesn’t have a soul! He’s not like you or me. Well, not like you.

And here it’s cemented in just how irregular Hermie is. Neither him nor Scam have a soul. As much as we’ve visited dead characters on this podcast, there’s nowhere that Hermie can be reached. This incarnation of him is gone forever.

“Do you forgive me for whatever is about to happen? I’m truly going to try.”

Try as he might to make things right — in his own insane way of ‘farting and it’ll be so funny that he’ll come back’ — that’s not something that’s been allowed lately on this show. And what could he even do to make things right anyways? There’s no joke to be made when someone has passed, and no joke can bring them back.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t think it would happen like this. I didn’t think he would actually develop a personality; he was just supposed to be a Goof machine. Nobody was supposed to be sad if something happened to him.”

Again, Hermie’s existence was just a part of one big goof and scam for him. Meta and Story, Hermie is and was a joke. He was just supposed to be this silly little guy, but then as time marched on he developed into something of a person. Something a lot of us got attached to and something Normal held onto dearly. “Nobody was supposed to be sad if something happened to him”, but he became too much of a Person for that to stay true.

“I could make you another one.”

And then there’s this line. It kills me in a very specific way. Scam is just so disconnected from human nature that he doesn’t know fully realize the value an individual life holds. Yes, he could just make another Hermie, but that’s not the Hermie. To use the first metaphor that comes to mind, it’s like making a mastercopy. In a previous painting class, we studied a singular painting for one project and recreated it to the best of our abilities. As skilled as one can be in painting, you cannot truly recreate the original. There’s history imbued in the original, and it’s lived a lifetime before your own version was created. Even if you create a version indistinguishable from the original, it is still not the same.

All of this is to say that I cannot truly judge Scam, at least from a certain standpoint. I have very mixed feelings about him, but he’s a unique case of a character that’s very different than judging one of the human dads. Am I rambling here? Am I spouting nonsense? I don’t know, I’m still in distress over crying multiple times from this episode. I’m not proof reading this lol

When some random stranger dms me about a commission and I just know that they’re gonna be a nightmare or a scammer

#this is all on Instagram byw #btw #I’ve never had an issue with commissions on tumblr #cuz I can tell that they’re human beings who want me to draw some silly guys #instagram is FILLED with scammers tho #and it’s very annoying #or people who are impossible to work with #once made a commission for a guy who just could not explain anything to me #and then when I waited for his payment he spent ten billion years to get to me #he finally worked with me when I called him out on his bs and told him that if he didn’t pay me #then I would assume that he tried to scam me and I wouldn’t talk to him again #and then he started acting weird #idk #today some guy wanted me to draw something and then asked me where I was from #and I said that that wasn’t any of their business #and now im scared to open up the dm #it’s hard to explain but all other commissions are just wonderful cuz the people are very sweet and understanding #and they’re very helpful to get across what they want #the ones I hate doing work for… I can just tell #it’s hard #smiles rambles #anyways I should really check this dm

Hey heads up! If you buy on Discogs, there seems to be a wave of scammers and fraud accounts lately that are targeting vinyl records that are priced usually very high and they are pricing them for ‘too good to be true’ prices and attempting to scam people out of their money! Read reviews and be cautious of any new seller that has no reviews on records like this!

#personal #Don’t get scammed like I did today. #Thankfully PayPal gave my money back real quick. #I saw it just happening on Djo 20/20 red vinyl even. They’re everywhere.
