Internet miscellany

Via james_nicoll, how to get $140 for a pack of Pokemon cards bought at the supermarket. She could try auctioning the kids next.

And via kobold, why you should only take romance so far before actually meeting your Internet sweetie. (Possibly triggering stalkerish content.) Reminds me of the Great Sarah Fiasco...

Also, exercise since last: 20km, total 690km/414mi: tromping along with Glorfindel. Yes, I've been slack again; I'll have to figure out what I'm doing for exercise when I move, too.

Better yet, that second story is a good argument for presenting yourself as yourself. Whoo boy.

Yeah, I picked one punchline but not the other :-(

Good Grief.

I don't even really have a reaction to the woman endangering her daughter like that, aside from 'Dear God, woman...' Her story just...really doesn't seem believable, and it does seem as though she's convincing herself (I was trying to keep my family safe).

The guy who went and shot someone...over betraying his imaginary Internet romance...I can't say I'm surprised his daughters want no further connection with him. I can't imagine how skeezy that would feel.

I lost all sympathy for him when he started using 'u'.

Yeah, there's something extra-depressing about the thought of being murdered by a textspeaker.
