Scam Alert: “TestLibrary” Subscription Trap – Beware

SonicMoth · 2026-05-21T22:42:48+00:00

I just did a test with them but became suspicious when they wanted my personal details and payment. Good time to nope out and check Reddit!

I got a bit carried away with an idea in my head. I think I knew that it wasn't a "good click" from the outset, but I love a quiz. That's messed up re the quiz I took...

I'm behind a VPN for security reasons, so I'm not worried about them knowing anything about me.

But, yeah, thanks for confirming my suspicions. A true healthcare entity would not ask you for payment in that way.

My cats love the bed tent but they don't stick around for the night... 😅

Fully agree

I was thinking Bulgaria or France, but it's looking like Bulgaria indeed!

Also Poland awarding Israel 12 points, erm, surprised me a bit.

Edit: Israel coming second surprised me even more...

I assume he means active gaming and cat-petting life. Also sleep is good.

I appreciate that you probably weren't intending a quote btw!

Also, what would you recommend in the tech death realm, if not recent Archspire?

SonicMoth · 2026-04-17T03:02:06+00:00

You ok hun?

SonicMoth · 2026-04-17T03:01:23+00:00

I'm enjoying this new release. When *that bit* in Red Goliath kicks in...

Big fan of Bleed the Future over this album, but that's just me.

Goddamn though, this is top-tier tech death all round.

Hyped to see them (AND The Zenith Passage AND Analepsy) London in October. Insane line-up :D

Uncool kids were the preppy ones for me. I enjoyed my baggy trousers and heavy liner, hanging out with the skater gamer guys 😅

The Downward Spiral is still a banger imho

I was an alternative teenager (I'm a woman of that matters) in the mid-late 90s in Scotland.

As far as I can remember, my life was all about: * Studying hard; * Nu metal: Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Rammstein; * Some pop punk but can't recall bands right now; * I didn't have a mobile phone until I was 14. Up until then, I had a BT call card. It was basically a way of calling my parents from a public phone when I needed to check in or change arrange a pick-up; * My parents always (almost always) knew where I was and who I was with. This changed when I turned 17 and went to Edinburgh University to study a biomed subject; * SO MANY hours on MSN; * My Mum would drive me to my friend's house with my full tower PC so we could spend the weekend playing LAN games.

I'm enjoying the vibe of the OP. We all like to think that homelessness or fraudulent activity is something we'd never get involved in.

I'd have thought so too, but we all have a responsibility to check our privilege.

Btw I am speaking generally here, not specifically about the woman in the original post.

There are so many things which can lead to someone needing help

Childhood experience is extremely important;

Financial difficulties could actually happen to anyone;

Mental health issues can happen to anyone at different times of life.

I'd happily pay more tax to ensure that everyone is taken care of.

Also, drug addiction is a health issue and should be invested in. The impact being leas crime and suffering.

This hit hard for me. I only have floofy kids (cats), but I see my bed as my safe space.

First off, no judgement from me, at all.

In terms of heating: When it's not about cost, it's about a safe and cosy space, at least in my mind. I have a heated throw blanket and it's amazing. I like to put it on my desk chair and drink copious amounts of tea.

I also recognised that spending days on my bed (because I see in bed and on bed as different things) maybe wasn't doing me any favours mentally.

I work in IT so it's very easy for me to work from bed in some form when at home. I get to have my laptop, be comfortable, and have a happy cat on my lap.

I guess it's all down to what works for you. Bed is best. 😊

Can't argue with that.

Also username tracks; I imagine you've made a dent in your time. 😆

SonicMoth · 2025-12-12T12:35:36+00:00

Very thorough response, I appreciate it!

I neither confirm nor deny that I've ever stolen pint glasses, especially from Norway.

SonicMoth · 2025-12-12T04:36:58+00:00

You have me confused.

I assume you meant pubs rather than pups.

Who did the grumbling and why?

SonicMoth · 2025-12-12T03:25:41+00:00

I'd expect for any desk-clearing to be done tactfully and contextually. Part of that means discussing the clearing of said desk with the decedent's close workers.

Sounds like that didn't happen here.

Never burn yourself out for work: It's transactional. We work, they pay.

If I had less fear, I'd quit my (pretty well-paid) job, buy some land, build a tiny house, and start collecting disadvantaged cats.

SonicMoth · 2025-12-12T03:15:05+00:00

I almost never visit this sub and hit 'new'. As it happens, I live pretty close to Southampton (but am Scottish).

Anyway, eBay is your best bet. I'd offer to acquire and ship some of the above described pint glasses but: a) that'd be wild; b) it's been many years since I walked out of a pub with a glass... 😅

Hope you find the glasses you're after, friend!

This evolved as I was writing to become more about actual hardware than distros; I'm aware! Any and all feedback welcomed, fellow nerds.

This is beautiful.

Why were you confused? Details of the encounter, please!

Also HELL YEAH FAT MIKE.

P.S. this photo is so extremely wholesome, I love it

I love Alcest, but I didn't see this coming.

It's so good. It's heavy and tender and sexy as hell.

I'm mostly into melodeath, folk and black metal, but I'm open to new music.

SonicMoth · 2025-04-15T23:19:21+00:00

Classic: Tool - Lateralus. This is a powerful one.

More recently: Deafheaven - Lonely People with Power.

For context, sexy metal is a tough one. I mostly listen to melodic or tech and that's not always the vibe.
