But this new ruling will be challenged in court by the Chamber of Commerce and might not come into effect immediately (or at all if the challenge is successful).

Oslypsis Link ParentThis is true, especially if it's an important topic that is a current event but also later has an update. Like something in the news. Giving updated info on a popular topic shouldn't be punished.This is true, especially if it's an important topic that is a current event but also later has an update. Like something in the news.

Hell, even that niche website I found a while.back doesn't work.. ytjobs.co. yeah... turns out they all either want "samples" for specific videos they're about to make šš or they tell you to do a one way loom interview video and just never even look at it. (I can see how many views the video has... it's still at zero).

But if it were to be used as an excuse, it would have been 100% on them anyway. Birthdays are no excuse to treat the people around you like crap. I've always thought people who use their birthday as an excuse to be inconsiderate assholes to the people around them to be only in fiction stories, when you want it to be blatantly obvious they're the bad guy.

They'd see it multiple times throughout the creation process so I have to guess that if they were going to scam me via the check, it'd be the second method where they send too much and ask for some back before the check is cleared.
I've only ever been mailed checks from family members for special occasions. So this correspondence struck me as weird af.

Ugh. Scammers are everywhere, and I know I'm getting them in my inbox and junkmail, but I need a way to know who I am wasting my time on and who is a real client.
My current client doesn't seem to speak in the usual way (for example saying "you have replied to me perfectly" in response to me asking "Please let me know if this works for you or if you wish to negotiate"). They want to pay me via a cashier's check. I just now told them I only accept PayPal payments (that is what I've always used). Waiting for a response now.
So my question is, which of these would be the most secure method of payment to use over the internet, with strangers, where contact is via email?
PayPal
Wire transfer
Cashier's check

Comment on Here are thirteen other explanations for the adolescent mental health crisis. None of them work. in ~health.mental
Oslypsis Link ParentOof. The fact people have said they'd pay someone to help them quit those social media sites if they didn't "have to be there" is damning.

Also, for the 0.17, is that like, a percentage? Like 17% of people who use social media will develop a mental illness? I'm not sure if I completely understand that part.

Good Mythical Morning
TheMythicalSausage (Minecrafter)
MinutePhysics
CinemaSins
CinemaWinsAlso, not going to lie. If I hadn't already seen all of the episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, I'd be watching that to numb my mind from the shitty world around me. Hell, sometimes just rewatching it helps.
