@Kermit1@blindsquirrel meanwhile, even if that’s the full honest truth, the fact is that is 9 years worth of research or medical attention the money could’ve helped with, had it actually been sent to a charity.
Like, imagine donating food to a shelter after a disaster, only to find out they’re actually denying to feed anyone, and they say: “oh don’t worry, it’s all in the fridge, we’re just waiting for someone who looks like they are really REALLY hungry to come by! In the meanwhile, please donate more.”
@Eel
What’s even worse is that he’s using his moms name as a way to get sympathy for his “charity.”
Like, don’t use your dead moms name as a way to make some cash, especially in this manner.
I wonder if this will open him up to some potential lawsuits?

Welcome to the dark reality of Charities and Foundations. They sound nice, like "we are just gathering money to help people" but in reality, they are the worst dens of money laundering and scams. They are actually under bigger scrutiny than most financial institutions (which are openly made for financial profit)
@Rambler well I'm not saying that all of them are like that, it's mostly that in legal and financial terms, Charities and Foundations are inherently sus because they were widely used for illegal purposes in the past

@Sunsy Yeah, gathering herbs in Oregon Trail III was another way to collect food besides X pounds of meat. It wasn't nearly as easy as hunting, though I did get to a point in those games where I intentionally tried to avoid shooting buffalo since I was aware they historically came close to extinction due to that time period.
Yeah, I normally wouldn't get games outside of birthdays and Christmas back in the day. I learned to save almost to a fault at least, which is important. Though I do think I should've got gradual increases...that rarely happened sadly. I am looking forward to Planet Coaster, though when I actually get to it is a very loose guess.
Neat, I do remember the hunting mini-game in the other two Oregon Trail, IIRC, I almost never did them. For some reason with the Mac version of the first game, I just always had this trick to finishing the game.
Yeah, it wasn't a common occurrence when I was younger, or sometimes an odd gift. I remember getting Donkey Kong 64 for Easter one year instead of a basket. Weird, but cool surprise. That was more of an oddity, it didn't happen again.
You'll like who's on my profile picture this time, Sunsy. Hooray for you, have fun seeing it again! That's awesome to hear, I did see there's a lot of folks who do like Trolls as well... despite what some YouTubers suggest, lol. I've seen an ad/trailer for Trolls Band Together on Facebook, and there was nothing but likes/loves on there. Great to hear you've applauded, too. Right now, the movie I'm most looking forward to seeing is Wish... yep, I'm still in a Disney mood! I may even give Trolls a shot at some point, as well, since I know you're a Trolls lover.
SNES Bowser's Castle 3 is a solid course for sure. It's pretty faithful to the original course and I especially love that rock/metal cover of its music. Did you know that the music is a remix of the Bowser battle theme from Super Mario World?
That's cool. It is pretty admirable for Rare to try to bring over these prerendered graphics to the Game Boy, of all things, and for the most part it worked out pretty well. Gotcha, hopefully they'll show up on NSO, yeah... I would especially love to see more Game Boy Advance games come to NSO, and I say that as someone who has the expansion pack. More original Game Boy games would be cool as well, of course. Huh, I see... I think some GB games look somewhat off when played on a Game Boy Color, so that's probably normal. Just a quirk with the GBC itself, I guess.
Ouch... too bad for both of us. I also really wanted to see the original Beauty and the Beast in my local theater... but they didn't have it, and the closest theater that had it was around 3 hours away from where I live. It's especially heartbreaking for me because that's my favorite Disney movie! Yeah, Frozen II was the only time I saw Anna and co. on the silver screen, too.
I gave you a mention at the artist thread... been thinking about how I'd like to make my next drawing.
It's Peach! Yeah, many do like Trolls. I'll never understand why cartoon and movie guys on YouTube hate the movies. YouTube and Twitter is like the only places I've seen hate towards Trolls, other places, people are cool with it or if they don't like it, they don't go to extreme I've seen those on YouTube go. I think you'd like the movie. Trolls does start out silly and happy, but as the movie goes on, there's a lot of heart to it. It's hard to say without spoiling the movie. If you have Netflix, the first Trolls movie happens to be on there right now. Also with Christmas coming up, I think you might like Trolls Holiday In Harmony, the second holiday short. It has more in common with Christmas than the first Trolls Holiday.
Yeah I was surprised at how the whole course looked and the music was great. That I do know, I remember hearing it when finally reaching Bowser. Could never beat him because kid me at the time had no idea how to toss items upwards, lol. Adult me now knows how to do that.
Yeah, it was impressive given Game Boy only had four shades of grey. I still haven't gotten the expansion pack, I'm still waiting to see what else appears on the service before upgrading. Right now a lot of the GBA games I have I can play on Wii U or my original GBA. It wasn't the color looking somewhat off, it was more like the sprites had some visual glitches to them when played on a GBC. It's hard to describe unless you see it. It looks like the character sprites, have odd pixels on them that weren't present when playing on an old B&W Game Boy.
I would have loved to see Beauty and the Beast in a theater. For some reason, it was shown at an AMC like couple towns away, vs. my local one that's like 10 minutes away. I went to Trolls Band Together early access at that theater, while Frozen and Beauty and the Beast were like an hour away. I know this because I use to pass that theater on the way to school when I was a teen, and even went there on a school trip a few times (saw Disney's Dinosaur and Radio with my school).
@EllaTheQueen6 be the best vice that has ever voiced Ella!

@Snatcher Snatcher? Not staying up all night playing Splatoon? NO WAY, HE NOW ACTUALLY HAS A CHANCE OF NOT HAVING AN IMAGINARY WIFE THE REST OF HIS LIFE
Ok but really, glad to hear your sleep was good lol. My morning was alright. My bed is older than me, literally, so ta night it feels like a rock but when I have a Zoom meeting in 10 minutes it feels like a cloud straight from heaven, so waking up was hard.
Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Murin!
