Comment on It's happened to me many times
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 week agoDude, that sucks. A lot of shit happens as a kid you don’t realize was not normal until your brain develops. My kids friends would be able to come over as much as they like too, open door policy.
He’s also been told if he sees a kid at school not eating lunch to tell someone. Well send an extra lunch or extra money if necessary. This was long before this SNAP bullshit, been telling that since he started school.
Thinking of the shit some kids go through thinking it’s normal breaks my heart the fastest. Second is animals.

This is what I feel sometimes when I see people doing some deliberately stupid things online. They might just be too desperate to be the next viral thing, even as though it’s too stupid, in expectation to earn some money and make ends meet.
They don’t have much to lose and this seems like the only way to gain a moment of fame. But the platforms are rigged for pay to play to hell, and most get ridiculed all over the internet for it.
The restaurants making ridiculous food, people doing obvious stupid trends, streamers doing fake surprises, fake podcasts revelations, families doing awful shit to each other and so on.
