snack exchange

Perhaps I’m too paranoid, but is it wise to be buying consumables from reddit sellers :alex-aware:

I originally made it to challenge that “they’re poisoning the Halloween candy” myth. In almost a decade there’s never been a poisoning. Instead it’s scams and to a much lesser extent doxxing. Maybe 5% of trades result in one person not sending a box. Once I had a case where this woman temporarily couldn’t afford postage so her partner looked through her account history, found posts about wanting to leave her abusive husband, and blackmailed her for snacks after finding that husband’s email address and threatening to forward the posts. Spent the night on the phone with the Viennese police trying to explain that I’m from the internet and this person I don’t know is threatening suicide because she’ll be killed if she goes home because an Austrian guy wants bad chocolate.

This is why I have 50 different accounts for every social site. 45 of them to shitpost, 4 of them to ask various IRL questions, and 1 account to conduct financial transactions

The best opsec is to have 50 different people using one account :very-smart:

1 account for everything, 1 account for roleplaying as my dog’s new agency so the illusion isn’t broken by me referencing something in a different post. :screm-cool:

Pretty much verbatim that but in Google translated German.

Pretty sure this is an Original Sentence.
