And yes, I’ve looked up the definition of “scam,” and it will be added to the list of reasons I hate this fucking language. Noun is fraudulent OR deceptive act, verb is defraud AND deceive.
I stand by it being a weird word choice when there’s no clear avenue for personal gain by the “scammer”

I fucking love this movie. So much. The most BORING ASS TAKE anyone ever has is taking “adult Owen watches The Pink Opaque on streaming and it’s bad” at face value.
I want to be clear, you don’t need a canonical, definitive answer to know that’s bullshit, but we have it in the subtitles: FAKE TARA

If I have to exist on LinkedIn as I look for work, I’m gonna troll it.
