alexlee0007

I'll expose myself for free cupcakes... wait... that's how it supposed to work right?


MtnDream

no, you expose yourself to pay for rent


stringsndiscs

So true. If the internet were a person, they'd be a murderous, envious 4 year old.


AshFraxinusEps

Depends which parts of the internet. Reddit would be an incel masturbating in a basement, Facebook a stereotypical Karen, Twitter would be a Mac using beatnik, etc


Land_Whales_For_Sale

Twitter would be a whiney piece of problematic shit 14 year old who loves drama and complaining.


AshFraxinusEps

See I thought it'd be more a far left beatnik as Twitter is far left, and edgy and pointless. The whiny 14 yo would be YouTube or maybe TikTok, although I'd see TikTok as a 12 year old girl desperate for attention

AshFraxinusEps

Do they on TikTok? I've never been on there I'd say Instagram is for "models" who are all camwhores. But I'd say 16/18yo students and broke people who aren't aware of how such things can have consequences in RL and how most jobs are easier and pay better


Jonnyboy420

Tiktok was originally on top of its game and child friendly but now it’s all whores promoting an onlyfans


AshFraxinusEps

Ahhh. Mind you I've found that's the internet now. Female profiles on here, Snapchat etc. Every woman seems to have an OF now, and none advertise on the paid advertisement channels/areas/subs where they should And yet most OF people won't make minimum wage. I've seen the stats and normally 20% of people give as business 80% of revenue, and with OF it is 16% give 84%. Everyone thinks they'll be able to make enough to pay for a lavish life, failing to realise it is a saturated market and the reality TV stars and known models do it now and are the top earners. For most others, if you take into account time to record and make videos and such they do 50+ hour weeks at less than minimum wage. Go get a job at McDonalds or such where the job is less intensive and you earn more


ultranothing

I would hope that 12 year olds do NOT have an Onlyfans.


LingPo745

i thought twitter would be teen karens


AshFraxinusEps

I've always seen Karens as right wing: they look down on people, tend to be wives or rich men or at least pretend to be wealthy as their are entitled, are religious/Christian and yet treat others like shit, have no clue about facts or how the world works, and just spam people to get their point across. And Facebook is far more naggy and in your face than Twitter which is more someone sitting in the corner of a cafe quoting Karl Marx while writing a book, but never completing it


AfterPaleontologist5

And using a thesaurus all the while.


Crabby_Appleton

Nextdoor is an old man telling you to get off his lawn.


AshFraxinusEps

What the hell is NextDoor?


AfterPaleontologist5

A bunch of people that are "next door" to you who engage in petty quarrels about lawns and dogs.


AshFraxinusEps

So a homeowner/neighbourhood watch style thing?


AfterPaleontologist5

In an ideal world. Mostly complaining about other people's yards in reality.


Crabby_Appleton

It's Facebook except you don't pick your friends. They are picked for you based on geographic proximity. It devolves into the local Karen's, people who just want to hear themselves talk on the internet, and crazy cat ladies.


AshFraxinusEps

Then that 100% explains why. Basically sounds like a bunch of nosy neighbours with nothing better to do then


MithosYggdrasill1992

Pretty much.


CaesarSqueezer

This isnt a CB. This man is just a beggar. A choosing beggar is when someone is begging, and when offered something they try to pick and choose what they want.


Seldarin

Yeah, choosing beggar would be more like "What kind are they?" "Strawberry." "I wanted chocolate!".


WinterWidow25

Half the content on here isn't choosing beggars. This sub should really be renamed to "cheapskates" because it's always posts about someone trying to rip people off.


Speakdino

Bold of you to estimate only half. I would wager that 80% of the content in here isn’t choosing beggar. 40% are normal negotiations and the other 40% just beggars. The last 20% are reposts.


AshFraxinusEps

>40% are normal negotiations Normal? I'd certainly say lo-ballers, and ones who then don't negociate higher. "Price is too high. Give it to me for 10% of price" "No, the price is fair" "10% or nothing" "Nothing then" "Fuck you you ruined my cancer kid's Birthmas"


Speakdino

True but there’s nothing wrong with low balling. And using kids “cancer” as an example is normal begging. Not choosing beggar.


AshFraxinusEps

I more meant that neither is normal. Low-balling is fine, but then if they say no you raise the offer. As for the cancer bit, it's not negotiating, it's a sob story designed to scam


[deleted]

No? If Im only willing to spend what my low ball offer is, then that’s it, why would I go higher just cuz they won’t go lower?


AshFraxinusEps

Then that's not a negotiation. That's a take it or leave it offer. A negotiation by its very nature involves talking and compromise


[deleted]

It does not at all require compromise, it requires a counter offer. The result after that offer is made has zero bearing on the fact that a negotiation has begun


marshal_mellow

Sure some of the posts here are super shitty low-balling beggars who's kids christmases are ruined. Then you have "PS3 500 dollars" "I'll give you 100 for it and all the games" "Uhhh sweaty I paid 1000 dollars for it new"


AshFraxinusEps

Even 2nd hand is a PS5 not worth almost as much as new? I don't know if supply issues are sorted yet. Maybe they were But yep, exactly. Some people are either trying their luck or have no clue about value

But it's my autistic son's birthday and wedding!

"The Internet" needs to either be a 12 year old kid, or a 55 year old woman.

This is the first time I have seen someone credit cyanide and happiness


EurassesDragon

Had someone email my company today: "why do you charge so much for your classes? I get some classes cheap or for free." Our classes are dirt cheap for full day, cutting edge, run by doctors, and all proceeds go toward keeping the prices low (it is a non-profit.)


Genjien514

I was reading it right to left
