One time I posted my ass on a forum. A woman was posting her tits and I said my ass had more cleavage than her. She called me out. I posted. She deleted her account after being made fun of by everyone in the subreddit.

It then got reposted on reddit best of. So at least 2 separate groups of people laughed at my ass/that woman.

Even got my own thirsty message which was different.

I appreciated the confidence boost this gave me. But now my ass is out there. Maybe you’ve seen it?

What’s a dumb thing you did online?

No ragrets tho

    Sexted. Honestly before this I never understood what’s so arousing about it and kinda thought it was dumb but damn it was actually very fun tbh. Never actually read sexting other people have done so I had 0 experience and turns out the other person was same.

    We were both innocent (at least I was) and it was very funny how hard we tried to get each other’s things going. I’d be thinking to do one thing and they’d thinking to one thing and there was a lot of confusion lol.

    And now to the dumbiest part, I STILL have those chats on my phone. I could delete them even now but idk I kinda not want to delete them?

    I co-owned a semi popular console ROM and PC piracy site as a teenager with two others. While it was a lot of fun especially in the forum and I made a lot of cool friends, it was very risky in hindsight. I’m amazed we never even got C&D emails before we lost interest in the project once life got busy.

    Basically it was direct download for ROM files while PC games and console ISO were shared on the forum in the Warez-bb styling. This grew the active daily forum users rapidly at the time who then stuck around to yap.

    I was one of the fucking idiots that preordered No Man’s Sky. The devs have done a lot to make up for it, so I don’t really regret it anymore as it’s a decent game now, but at release it was so drastically bare-bones compared to what they advertised that if the legal system actually gave a shit about consumer protection, the staff of Hello Games would have served jail time.

    But Sean was a charismatic little con artist, and he cut right past my defense. bUt ThiS gUy’S diFfeReNt!! Bruh I fuckin knew better than that!

        If I sell you a 2025 Ferrari then give you a 2011 Honda Civic, I broke the law and you got scammed.

        Even if I take the unexpected step of sending you a civic-to-Ferrari conversion kit after the fact that makes the car I delivered somewhat comparable to the one I advertised, that doesn’t excuse the initial deception.

        What they did was deliberate and dishonest - it’s awesome that they’ve taken (a shit ton of) steps since to make it right, but it’ll never be right.

        Holding them accountable is not psychotic.

        It’s not for launching a bad product. It’s for lying about what the product is. It’s fraud. There’s no excuse for that.
