        I never seem to get appropriately coded romance scams.

        I guess the RFI from my computer is jamming the gaydar.

        If you do it the former way, you’re supposed to use a zero as well: “Pr0n.”

        Why the hell do you care enough to post that here? What difference is it to you if they type pr0n or porn? The ‘you’re not cussing enough’ crowd confuses the fuck out of me

        Goddamn I cant believe I have to explain this. Typing porn as pron or pr0n is funny because it connotates a rather transparent way of trying to hide your porn collection on a computer used by others/relatives. It in no way has anything to do with censoring. Stop getting faux outraged by every little non-thing. (he said outraged by a non-thing)

        It’s a long standing joke, calm down. I’ve joking called porn pron many times.

      There zero– I repeat, – ZERO girls on the internet. There wasn’t any, and there never will. You saw someone post a pic of themselves, and they were a girl? That’s AI. Went on a videocall with a woman? That’s heavy makeup (and AI). In fact, the term GIRL aactually means Guy In Real Life. Girls on the internet are actually goverment drones built to mess with MY feelings, and they will probably mess with yours, too. Be careful, they may be watching us right now… ARGH!!

      Also, the term “pre-health science”, that “she” used has never been used in Canada as far as I know. We don’t even say pre-med. Either you are in med school, or you are trying to get in, taking a variety of courses. There is no defined set of courses that we call pre-med.

      Other differences between us and the US regarding post-secondary education:

      Canadian universities are also almost completely free of fraternities and sororities.

      We have sports scholarships, but they are nowhere near as lavish as in the US. Sports in general is a minor sideline for Canadian universities.

      And to us, college always means community college. University is university (and never “uni” as some benighted countries call it).

  • Rentlar@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I got a similar message from that user and a near identical one earlier from a lemmings.world account. The latter onr also had links to a peertube channel with a different angle thumbnail of what appears to be the same person.

    If you had an established profile and DM’d me I’d be more humoured to respond to out-of-the-blue introductions. But seeing that both accounts were created today, no public activity and immediately giving yourself a horny-bait nickname set off all the BS alarms.
