Ha ha dickie. I don't, know, what you, mean.
Surely yawn, would never do, those, posts herself!

Someone on a local FB page is looking for 5 people to try a "fat burning liquid" .

My favourite response is "what an obvious load of bollocks" 😂

Nurse is using deodorant on her cracked heels. The glamour!

Also, anyone who runs their own business outside of design and media creation would run a mile from a mac book! They are an absolut nightmare to work with on a day to day basis.

To be fair, not sure how many macro based worksheets these people use, who would want to keep track of business anyhow.

Someone needs to come out with something specifically for dry cracked heels.

They could call it something then specify it's for dry cracked heels.

I should patent that idea before someone else thinks of it.

Oooh Whiterangey, make sure you put in some special plant extract that’s usually as cheap as chips from Superdrug but use it to justify selling your heel cream at extortionate prices.

Writing on my bot laptop to check in huns

Nurse is using deodorant on her cracked heels. The glamour! @RogueApostrophe

We should be grateful she’s just using it on the cracks in her heels. Imagine the horrors she could subject us to if she had a solid deodorant with the instructions to “push up bottom” (there’s a crack I don’t want to see) or one of those ball deodorants. We’d have to go to Weird Willy for counselling.

Yawn's playing the "I don't understand technology card" but luckily she has Mr Yawn to fill in the missing pieces of her brain. She does the same thing about talking down her lack of maths skills all the time. Is this some weird ploy to make her more likeable because she's thick AF?

It's the same as the talking down of her previous occupation. She obviously thinks that she makes the whole "if little me can succeed, so can you" seem more attainable to her potential victims.

Sounds about right @Twentytwentyhindsight

“I can’t believe you’d think someone like little old me, who shouldn’t be allowed out on her own, would tie someone up and lock them in the cellar, Officer! I’m not even capable of tying my own shoelaces: my husband has to do that for me.”

It sounds like the very opposite of empowering women to run their own business if she acts like she can't understand anything to do with maths or technology.

Castle does that too- fake humble. She did a long, rambling live a few months ago about how important it is to keep it real in order to be liked. With a bit of mess in the background for effect.

Has anyone come across people on social media claiming to make money from trading on the stock market? There's a guy on Instagram being promoted constantly by Gaz from Geordie Shore, and when you click on his profile it reeks of MLM. The stupid lifestyle posts, the pictures of cars and designer trainers etc.

He is claiming that he makes his money by getting others to copy his trades and then he takes 1% of his clients' profits. But that can't be right because surely they also make losses?? Maybe there is a sign up fee, or a kick back for recruiting more people. It's sounds too much like an MLM to not be an MLM...

That sounds like it might be Forex @grumpytoddler1. Gambling has better odds.

Is Forex the name of the MLM?

Im technologically challenged but I knew what that was. Why have such an expensive laptop if you can't use it?

I've got a £250 one. I can write stuff on it just fine. I am artistically challenged so no designing will be happening on anything I own.

My kid has £1000 worth of big drawing board thing. It's like a monitor but you draw on it and the exchange of money happens in return for aforementioned drawings.

No downline is harmed during the making of this money.

@Whiterangey it’s classic Yawn: all the gear and no idea. We’ve seen it before with the expensive sportswear.

@grumpytoddler1 I don’t know much about Forex other than a lot of people have lost a lot of money. I’ve come across quite a few press reports and scam warnings over the years. I remember seeing a documentary where women in particular were targeted and lost their life savings - I don’t think it mentioned the MLM side of things - it’s not exclusively MLM. However, you Google Forex MLM it would appear that some people have set up MLMs to suck people into trading schemes.

Does anyone else know much about the trading MLMs?

Can we keep the trans chat off this board? There will be people here from both camps. I know you feel strongly about it White, and I support trans people but NOT at the expense of women. So I agree with JKR and support third spaces. You, for good reason, have an opposing view. It's heated enough on the feminism boards.

So trans women are not women?

I'm out.

I'm sorry you feel you have to be out @Whiterangey. I was hoping to keep this debate off this board. Because this thread isn't about transactivism. It's about fighting against thinly veiled pyramid schemes.

We can agree to disagree because ultimately you believe I am a cunt for having an opposing view. That's fine. I don't think you are. But no need to be out. We are fighting the same battle when it comes to MLMs.
