The transwomen conversation isn’t relevant on a discussion about MLMs. If we all have to have a unified stance on social and political issues then this board would cease to exist.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 16/06/2020 08:53

Agreed. If we all started dissecting our different views on the world in here it's no longer an MLM thread. I have some pretty strong views on some of the other opinions I see coming from bots but it's not relevant here.

CodenameVillanelle · 16/06/2020 09:01

This is the MLM discussion. You can't expect us all to agree with you about everything and if you don't want to be talking to people who don't agree then you will struggle posting on any threads tbh

BSintolerant · 16/06/2020 10:25

This is the place where we should be united against MLMs no matter what our other beliefs may be, otherwise we’ll end up like The People’s Front of Judea, The Judean People’s Front, and The Judean Polular People’s Front (Splitters!). Wink

Any volunteers to paint “MLMS ARE CUNTS!” in great big red letters all over various MLM head offices? Grin

BSintolerant · 16/06/2020 10:38

Popular - excuse my pig tit fingers!

CompleteBarstool · 16/06/2020 11:00

I think we should stand united against MLMs.

People on these threads have arrived here for different reasons and from different backgrounds with different experiences but we all agree on one thing. Let's use that combined power and continue to fight these bastards.

CompleteBarstool · 16/06/2020 12:07

Uber's sister is offering "experience packs" for people to test.

She'll even drop them off and pick them up because of course FL don't do trial sizes.

That means you'll get a half-used bottle/tube that has been round goodness only knows how many households before you. Is that wise in the current climate?!

RogueApostrophe · 16/06/2020 12:20

@completebarstool Urgh -- used products handled by many people. No thanks!

fromdownwest · 16/06/2020 12:23

Is there not any laws against that? how that is hygenic, even outside of a global pandemic?

fromdownwest · 16/06/2020 12:25

Also - PHD has gone fully off piste now. I genuinely have no idea what she is selling, her posts are just paragraphs of inane psychobabble.

Truly bizarre

RogueApostrophe · 16/06/2020 12:48

How is the Dungareed homeschool buffoon qualified to advise women on weight loss? He seems to be cashing in on that off the back of the chocolate-chicken-gloop.

BSintolerant · 16/06/2020 12:49

Those experience packs are also known as PUPP boxes in the Forever Fibbing literature. I think it stands for Personal Use Promotional Packs or something like that. They argue that they’re the same as testers in Boots or wherever. It can’t be hygienic for someone to use opened products for three days that someone else has used, especially not in these times. Just goes to show that times are hard for Uber’s sister if she’s buying products for these purposes which she’ll have to drop off and pick up again at other people’s houses. Ick!

BSintolerant · 16/06/2020 12:56

Imagine what would happen if someone caught the virus and those FL packs were found to be fomites? I hope bots have got personal liability insurance.

Fomite ... I like that word. It’s almost as good as “ordure”. Wink

CompleteBarstool · 16/06/2020 13:02

Toothpaste is one of the products in the pack.

That tube you receive in the experience pack would no doubt have been in contact with other peoples toothbrushes. Worst case scenario some previous tester's child has probably sucked or licked the end of the tube as kids are prone to doing.

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 16/06/2020 13:26

FL Bots are told to purchase every product they make, and then purchase again for the 'PUPP' box. This is how FL make their money.

RogueApostrophe · 16/06/2020 13:51

Testers have been removed from all the chemists I go to so why on earth do they think a PUPP box is a good idea in light of the new ways we will have to operate since COVID?

Yes it does seem like times must be hard for Uber's sis if she's resorting to PUPP drop-offs. What next - a stall at a local gym when they reopen?

Oh bloody hell
Nurse thinks she’s made ‘friends for life’ (Yawn) in FL and that she’s ‘building a great future’ for her son

Why hasn’t the penny dropped yet???

CodenameVillanelle · 16/06/2020 17:09

She's not very bright
It's cringe

Perthsmurf · 16/06/2020 22:22

Whiterangey, I hope you feel able to come back to this thread x

Hope you feel able to come back to this thread at some point x

Me too.

Thank you for the new thread

Mycatismadeofstringcheese · 16/06/2020 23:32

Oh Yawn is putting pressure on Precious Gem to get “promoted”. Anyone else think it’s manipulative to announce how close she is to try to force her over the line? (And spend her own money to get there if she needs to). Also didn’t we have questions about if she is really a teacher? I thought she was a TA?

And what’s with the photo of Precious Gem? Why would Yawn choose where Gem has two fingers stuck up? Is Gem telling Yawn to fuck off?

JaniceBattersby · 17/06/2020 00:24

Yawn’s post about her precious gem is so opaque. A ‘customer base and team of about 10-15 people’?

Well which is it? A team or customers: they’re very different things.

And 10-15? Which is it again? A team of ten is very different from a team of 15.

And ‘an extra £1000 a month’ suggests that precious gem will be paid £1000 per month for her promotion which is just an out and out lie.

(I also thought she was a TA.Who the fuck knows? Maybe she just lives across the road from a school? That’ll do for Yawn.)
