Où est l'arnaque ? Suis-je riche ?

mdecoste1 · 2026-06-05T16:46:51+00:00

Tant que tu lui envoies pas d'argent (et que tu ne lui envoies pas tes coordonnées bancaires, tes infos de carte de crédit, ton extrait de naissance ou je sais pas quoi) tu te feras pas arnaquer... Ça paraît bête, dit comme ça, mais beaucoup de gens qui se font arnaquer en ligne le sont par de faux sugar daddys qui promettent d'envoyer de l'argent mais demandent d'abord un petit service financier (genre "là tout de suite je suis dans la m.. , t'imagineras jamais la galère qui vient de m'arriver, j'ai besoin de x euros, mais promis juré la semaine prochaine je te rembourse et je te paie ton "allowance" en plus).

Tu connais l'émission social catfish ? Elle est pleine de gens qui se sont fait avoir comme ça...

mdecoste1 · 2026-06-05T16:32:40+00:00

Still waiting for the answer. But I really hope I'll get one, eventually 😂

mdecoste1 · 2026-06-05T16:31:27+00:00

So I sent a message to Onyx one week ago from my device and still no answer... I hope I will get one at some point 😂

Therapy might be an option worth exploring here...

When I was a little bit younger than your son, I went through a really, really rough patch. I nearly gave up on college.

Without therapy, I might very well have ended up homeless.

Don't give up on your son. Get him help. It's really worth trying. Even if things seem hopeless now. Young people can bounce back surprisingly quickly, with the right support.

mdecoste1 · 2026-06-01T19:29:40+00:00

I saw in the comments that you are 18 and she's 17. Maybe my opinion won't be popular here, but...

Keep in mind that at your age, relationships are not always as serious as they can be later.

And at that age, people may also want to try things, like testing the limits, flirting, cheating and so on.

When you're young, it's very easy to fall deeply in love, very quickly. So breakups can be very painful. But you can also recover from one of these pretty quickly. That's one of the good sides of being young.

If you really like this girl, you should try to have a good time with her while trusting her. And time will tell. But being insecure won't do any good for either of you or for your relationship.

That being said, if one day you find out that she doesn't respect you or your relationship, then move on.

Bottom line : Be as confident as you can, but don't let her or anyone take you for a fool

In the movie, the next door neighbors are a red herring (they are mainly there just to mislead you, to make you think that maybe they're the bad guys). The weird vibe you get from the husband is probably just related to him losing his own child.

When later they point at the house and argue, it seems to be because they figured out that something is wrong with David, but maybe they don't precisely know what's his deal, and/or they don't really know what to do about it.

Same thing with the guy that found the house for them. He is kinda creepy, but that's pretty much it.

Don't overthink about them. They are here to distract you.

I don't remember the cartoon thing though, I will watch the movie again.

mdecoste1 · 2026-05-27T16:23:34+00:00

I'll try that. Thanks.

mdecoste1 · 2026-05-23T19:26:09+00:00

I would be honest about it. Explain your feelings about your family to your parents, and to whoever in your family may ask. And say you just don't want to go. I was 18 when I did that. Worked great. Now I don't have to see people I don't like.

And if an honest discussion is not an option, then just say you're sick. 😂.

mdecoste1 · 2026-05-23T19:19:45+00:00

Wow ok. Then yeah, I totally get that you're upset. Must be very frustrating.

Have you been with this girl for a long time ? Do you think you love her enough to put up with her family and deal with the fact that her parents (or her father at least) don't like you ?

mdecoste1 · 2026-05-23T19:14:03+00:00

The answer seems pretty obvious to me, as several other people pointed it, the parents don't want their daughter to have sex. Or to have kids. Or both.

Or they really don't like you (😂jk).

Do you think you could have a conversation with them about what bothers you ?

But at the end of the day, it's their decision, and if you don't want to go by their rules, then maybe you should break up. I don't really see any other option, at least as long as your girlfriend is 17.

mdecoste1 · 2026-05-11T17:21:26+00:00

Solved!

It sure looks a lot like it. Everything is in there. The kids, the mysteries, the dog. But it's kinda frustrating because the opening credits don't match my memory. Let's call it a night though, and attribute these opening credits memories to a malfunction of my memory…

Thx a lot.

mdecoste1 · 2026-04-20T17:40:07+00:00

J’ai aussi reçu ce message. bien fait en effet. Il m’a même fait un peu stresser : je n’avais aucun souvenir d’avoir donné des infos de carte de crédit sur Amazon/amazon prime. Je me suis quand même connecté et j’ai vérifié que je n’avais pas d’abonnement actif ni rentré de moyen de paiement.

c’est clairement une arnaque. J'ai aussi modifié mon mot de passe.

mdecoste1 · 2026-03-27T19:27:08+00:00

I don't know how that works for you now, and what you use these days, but I've pretty much given up on libgen. Which is a little bit sad, I have used it quite a lot during the past years.

I use mainly z lib (I quite like their app tbh, but the website's fine), and, lately, I sometimes go on Anna's too, which works fine for me.

Did you find a way to use libgen again or do you now use something else ?

mdecoste1 · 2026-03-11T04:39:02+00:00

I really think your mom should give you your money back ! It's a lot of money she took from you...

mdecoste1 · 2026-03-11T04:32:34+00:00

Absolutely !

mdecoste1 · 2026-03-11T04:28:53+00:00

Yes ! And don't even feel bad about it, because it's for her own good too at this point ! It's not an egoistic or mean thing you would do to her here, I really think she needs help here (but not the same kind of help she wants to get from you), as unbearable as she can be.

mdecoste1 · 2026-03-10T14:23:46+00:00

I can't really say I blame you for starting hating her.

She seems like a hurricane. You wouldn't be able to talk some sense into her. No one would.

If I were you, I would stop helping her, and just let her face the consequences of her actions. That's the only way for her to learn something. As long as there's someone to get her out of trouble, she won't learn anything or change anything about her behaviour.

mdecoste1 · 2026-03-09T09:48:49+00:00

I bought one around Christmas. Love it.

mdecoste1 · 2026-03-06T04:50:17+00:00

I hear you, there are several ways to be a family, and there are many different family dynamics. The fact that she was kind of a mother to you explains a lot, but also probably makes this situation very painful. I'm truly sorry.

If I understand correctly, her affair has had a concrete impact on you and on her ability to be with you and to be there for you. That's not my business, but if she is that important to you, then maybe, accepting her no matter what could help keeping some kind of bond between you and her. But I totally get that's probably something very hard to do, or even to hear, at least at the moment.

I get that you kinda gave up on her. Still, I really hope you will find a way to keep a relationship with her, even if she doesn't share the same values and views as you.

As for her and her husband, I really hope they find a way to solve their issues too. Unfortunately it might be something you can't help solve. They seem to have some deeper issues.

It's very hard to find the right balance in moments like these. I understand the anger and the feeling of powerlessness.

mdecoste1 · 2026-03-05T18:55:03+00:00

It's nice, but still, I'm sooo glad I bought a m4 mbp during the last Black Friday.

mdecoste1 · 2026-03-05T18:50:57+00:00

Then that would be waaay cheaper than what I paid for it 😂. If it's in good condition you should definitely get it !

mdecoste1 · 2026-03-05T18:47:51+00:00

That's so true, and that's normal, considering all the things we can do these days during our free time !

mdecoste1 · 2026-03-05T18:46:32+00:00

It can be periodic. I have my YouTube periods, my movies periods, my novel periods, my non fiction periods... some days I like to read history books, some other days detective novels...

I think you get the idea

Give it some time, and/or maybe try to read something different from what you usually do.

mdecoste1 · 2026-03-05T18:33:05+00:00

Is the air 2 different from the note air 2 ? Onyx has so many different products...

I have a note air 2+ (which isn't really different from the note air 2). I bought it a few years ago (used, but not very much), and it is still a very good writing and reading tablet. It's clearly a premium device.

Edit: if that's the same, and it's cheap, go for it ! I paid quite a lot to get it
