There has never been an honest SA fundraiser Well, Zen Death Robot did give me the symbol next to my username, so I guess that doesn't count completely as a scam

When sid posted a picture of a stufded pepper I saw how rough his cooking sheet was. I tried to send him a PM that I would just buy him a new cooking sheet but somehow I think I just sent the PM to myself and saved myself from being tricked. Who won hard to say.

Calling the entire fundraiser a scam or whatever isn't really accurate. The most that's in question, to my understanding, is from June 2022 and later.

I will say first and foremost I am not even remotely calling into question whether or not poster 50s Girl Groupon had cancer. They clearly did and my investigation demonstrates that they really were in the hospital while posting in their PMF thread. However, there are some inconsistencies with some of their 2022 posts that I hoped to verify with them privately. Unfortunately, they decided to tell people and take this public, so I will post what I know here.

I had a goon donate to me b/c I had been successful in a job interview and I needed to buy some uniform, I also paid for some cigarettes with that money but I asked them first and was transparent. They were cool with it and understood. (drug dependency suckkkkkssssk) Always be honest about that sort of stuff goons.

For someone struggling with money it's only gonna happen if they get hooked up with a charity or non-profit that helps them out. Just having a nurse/doctor show up would be hundreds of dollars to start with. I'm gonna have to ask you to cite your sources on this. I live in a town with a lot of old people where healthcare is a major industry, and having hospital care administered in-home is absolutely something I've seen people do. And that friend I mentioned earlier is poor as hell and didn't get help from any charity.

This is really unfortunate and I hope a misunderstanding. Even if it isn't, it seems clear that the US healthcare system is so hosed up that it's easily believable that it could have bankrupted this person and left them financially desperate enough that whatever happened here seemed like the only way out of a horrible situation (given that the underlying purpose of their fundraiser was obviously real). So even if something really sad happened in this instance, I hope it doesn't sour goons too much on the good they've done. This community clearly helped this person whose posting indicates they have had a very rough life, even if they did something wrong here and may have profited from it. I have personally received goon charity myself from the goonbucks thread despite basically being a random lurker and it helped me a few years ago when I was going through a rough patch. The forum does a lot of tangible good for people and it would be sad to see that generosity diminished, no matter what happened in this case.

astral posted:This part's worth repeating: I admit I am probably projecting a bit, but my read on Jeffery's PM sounds a bit like he is auditing 50GG like a Goon IRS, and if I read that right after being fired from my job while also dying of cancer like 50GG is claiming, then yeah I'd be pretty flippant at everyone and ready to burn it all down. Partly because I'd feel like a simple one-sentence reply wouldn't be enough and there'd be no point in trying, and I'm already dying of cancer and my job just fired me and gently caress you and gently caress the whole world.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:This one contained a selfie and was posted on a day that they also indicated that they were still in the hospital. I blanked the picture but this is the most damning tweet: When you say the pictures were taken on certain days when they said they were in the hospital, are you talking about the EXIF data of the images, or just the time stamps on the Twitter posts? If the latter, it's possible they were simply posting photos that were originally taken days earlier.

I actually hope it’s true. I’d rather live in the world where someone beat cancer on the back of community support and then made poor decisions in the wake of that, than the one where US healthcare grinds people down to nothing. Go in peace either way imo. I gave money this year and I’m not upset.

Old people have Medicare and poor people have Medicaid, both of which often have better coverage for home health than commercial insurances do. This is not the "gotcha" you think it is. Let it go.

Before any more goons want to write all the possible scenarios in which the charity is 100% legit no problem whatsoever, remember that someone accepted $30k in donations and when asked to verify some conflicting information then posted a grand dramatic goodbye and tried to imply they were being harassed and mocked while on their deathbed.

^ I’m referring to the 2021 cancer treatments. But also lol.verbal enema posted:why did you order milk from a pub four times The first time was simple confusion of an 18 year old visiting the UK for the first time, and not understanding how to tell a pub apart from a restaurant. Later, my friend did not teach me the local language correctly so I could relive the experience. (A friend chose this title for me.) Edit: Devils Affricate posted:Even ordering milk at a restaurant is weird We grew up drinking milk at home after my mom became excessively concerned about a family history of osteoporosis. I was 18 and will probably never live it down. I agree it’s weird and I don’t do this now, trust me! kaom fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Sep 16, 2022 |
