    I know I’ll probably get dogpiled for saying this, but I’ll say it anyway. It makes me really sad to see these things because they’re targeted to people who aren’t “willingly stupid”. Learning disabled and the elderly primarily. I’ve also seen foreign teenagers who grew up without technology in very corrupt government systems fall for similar messages.

    It really breaks my heart. We should be protecting these people, but there’s so many comments here blaming them.

    “Stupid people” aren’t the problem here, the scammers taking advantage of the most vulnerable populations are.

    Sometimes I feel like the only person who doesn’t like Wes Anderson movies. I don’t understand it at all. Isle of Dogs was the only one I liked, but that one kind of goes against his typical style. I’ve otherwise watched Royal Tenenbaums, Darjeeling Limited, and Life Aquatic just to try and understand it and I didn’t like any of them (I don’t think I made it more than halfway through any of them). What am I missing and why does everyone love these movies? (This is a question in good faith, I genuinely want to know because I don’t get it)
