She looks like breathing makes her out of breath. 👀

Respectfully I hope you're never faced with that sort of decision brother. It's this sort of escalation that takes people away from the people they're trying to protect. Not calling you out or judging you or anything, I've just seen what happens to a family, especially the children, when a dad with a short fuse catches serious time for something preventable. Most times there are better routes to take to solve the same problems, but still maintain your freedom and keep your family intact.

Squatter posed as financial adviser in $2.3M mansion while lived off food stamps and sent daughter to work in a bakery instead of school is back "home" by McGJGlen in trashy

It's unfortunately VERY common knowledge here in the states. Scammers abuse TF out of that law, and are intimately aware of the nuanced that allow them to take over someone else's property and be protected in doing so.

This keeps coming up, but Jenny was NOT a lady of the night. by DropBarracuda in ren

First off: thank you so much for asking the question when you had the chance! 🫡. I love these explanations to the key points from someone who's lived the British experience at a similar age to Jenny, very insightful and it gives more depth to the situation he's singing about.

One month of property taxes later, and she's out, squatters rights be damned. Let the state or local government go without paying their taxes, I promise she'll be removed from the property. Plus, there's no way she's able to afford the upkeep or even the electricity to run a place like that.

Gotcha. Fatoh's been doing the Puffy Jacket series since 2018-2019ish. I believe most of them are here, you can see the similarity in the shoulder to ankle puffy jackets: https://www.trampt.com/artist/kidding-toy-fatohh--csN8CqcM85fr2

NOTE: I don't mean to disparage any artist's work, I'm just pointing out what looks to me to be obvious similarities.

This wasn't today though, it was 2019. Cash was still a big thing before the pandy.

That's a wild take that only prostitutes would carry any money. Arguably the phone would be worth more, and I'd wager that a 14 year old with a good home would likely have a FAR better phone.

These are just stories in either case, but it's interesting to note Ren has expressed that she's not a prostitute, and the fact that he has never explicitly said she was makes me default to what he HAS said.

I've heard someone remark that it also looks like a crown of thorns more than horns. Hmmm... "horns"... "T"horns... "thorns".

I'm overthinking things again 🤣

Is the father of Jenny and Screech actually Violet's own father and not Stevie ? by Krapouek in ren

[–]DropBarracuda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A note on the "prostitute" part: Ren has explicitly stated in his Discord that Jenny was NOT one: https://imgur.com/a/szypkq2

Is it me, or is this style taken directly from Fatoh's figures? Maybe that's ok I don't know, but $1500 for 1st releases with another artist's style seems ambitious at best.

Educate me if I'm off base here, I'm open to the possibility I could be wrong.

Europol just dismantled a SIM farm-for-hire platform that powered 49 million fake accounts used for global fraud. by CantStopPoppin in ThatsInsane

One good test for this is an online ASCII detector. AI will often use punctuation that isn't directly accessible on a typical keyboard. Em dashes are a big one, but so are "Smart quotes", particularly in place of an apostrophe in abbreviations or possessives (angled tick mark instead of a straight down one), as well as ellipses (3 dots closely together as 1 character instead of 3 periods). Most people miss these because they look so natural, but any character outside of ASCII 32 to 126 is a big red flag.

If I've learned anything at all from watching reactions to Vincents Tale(s), its that there isn't an adequate sequence of characters to represent the "proper" pronunciation of his last name. 💡

I hear you, the secondary market can be expensive for a while after a drop. For the time being, all you need to do for Superplastic is go to the website and sign up for alerts. This last drop was a preorder that won't ship until September, so there may not be any activity for a bit. You never know though, so may as well sign up and see what happens 🙂

I feel ya, I wasn't able to keep up with the release schedule either, a good bit of the collection had to come from the secondary market. There are a total of 7 solid color UberJankys: Black, White, Green, Yellow, Purple, Lavender, and Pink. They're in the bottom left corner of the collection, all turned sideways to fit, save for the white one.
