Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Wed Dec-31-69 07:00 PM
I read this account in my facebook feed.

It was being actively promoted by someone I don't know well but respect.

Tell me your thoughts?

It's a beautiful page though to tug at the heartstrings: She's super kid sister cute, along with the bunny.


Only thing missing is how specifics/names on how she got kicked out of school for complaining about discrimination. I know dozens of writers who would have her story on blast to get her justice, and we aren't touching on the fact it's a lawsuit and a half. This would rule twitterverse for days, so I question why she didn't go full "FUCK XXX UNIVERSITY" so everyone can pick up the threads and rage about it

w/o regard for whether she's trans.

and her identifying as QTPOC doesn't necessarily mean she's trans.

12811096, Are there any legal ramification for posting a fake go fund me?
Posted by Cenario, Thu May-21-15 08:24 AM
Fraud or nah? I know you could be hit up for mail fraud if you receive payment in the mail under false pretenses.

But what about just saying you are xyz and need money for housing. But you aren't xyz and you use the money for a bmw?

12811272, probably. I'm bout to do one like this just to see what happens.

I'm a 33 year old unemployed male. I have been out of work for 3 years. I haven't actively looked for a job in the last 24 months because I realized that I'd rather sleep in, and play video games all day. Unfortunately, I've exhausted my savings and will be unable to pay my rent in July. Therefore, I'm trying to raise $1000 in 5 weeks.

Any support you can offer is greatly appreciated. I know it is difficult for everyone, but I appreciate you taking the time to read this.

12811320, is it wrong that i'd want to extend the offer to her, but not the bunny
Posted by MrThomas43423, Thu May-21-15 10:54 AM
on some ole....bunny got to go. i know that's crazy, but i like to exploit people's attachments to worthless animals.

it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.

not compassionate....only polite.

I am not like you at all and i cannot pretend.
