Hey has tumblr heard about the Chase “Infinite Money glitch” debacle from tiktok yet because
I cannot believe
I cannot believe that people actually tried this
And even less can I believe that they’re going full Karen to Chase customer service workers. Like you did check fraud. You did a crime. You don’t get to complain about the consequences.
Wait like some people don’t know
So there was a glitch in Chase’s check deposit system. Usually when you cash a check, only a fraction of the full amount is available to you immediately until the check clears. The glitch made it so you could cash a checks full amount right away no matter how big.
So. People were writing themselves massive checks and immediately withdrawing cash they technically didn’t have and then closing their bank account. They were calling it an “infinite money glitch” like it’s the Sims or something.
But it’s not like a cheat code that was suddenly discovered. It’s just check fraud. It’s just straight up a felony. And a good chunk of them filmed themselves doing it.
So people are waking up finding they’re in the negative however many thousands of dollars they pulled.
What BAFFLES me is that people are calling Chase demanding their accounts be reopened, demanding their money back. Work from home Chase agents have shared the calls they’ve been getting from people angry they’re in the red. Like it’s not your money anymore, love, you STOLE it and they took whatever you had originally to try to pay the balance back!! That’s not yours anymore!
People are being SNIPPY on tiktok when people tell them that they did a CRIME. This one lady was like “you don’t know the law, my lawyer knows the law” and it’s like honey! Your lawyer is going to do his fuckin best but you did a crime and then you FILMED YOURSELF. You’re going to jail! Now is the time to start practicing what my therapist calls radical acceptance!
So that’s the tea on the money glitch. Most banks are giving them 30 days to pay the amount back but some people I’ve heard are already being arrested.
not to be unkind but that’s hilarious
It is hilarious, allow me to make it more so: Josh Johnson’s standup bit on it is poetry.
The best part of this routine is almost certainly where people did not grow up watching Sanford & Sons and you can tell. You can tell exactly from the laughter not being that kind of oh shit they tried to Redd Foxx 18 police in Louisiana really kind of laughter.
also as a woman who could pay all of her bills if every person on social media who followed her pledged $1 to her patreon and she consistently only gets approximately $45 from her patreon and that is only because Martha Wells wants to make sure that her cats are fed each month, I am laughing but I am also sort of completely on another plane right now existing. like I am not even kidding $2,500 would pay all of my bills and people were out there committing $72,000 worth of check fraud and being shocked when they went to jail because I did it for the lolz on the TikTok did not work for them as a defense strategy? I do not even know what to do with that. I don’t even know. Like that is outside my lived experience so completely that it’s like telling me that the Earth is flat or they faked the moon landing or some shit.
that’s… not how it works. you can’t guarantee that your work definitely won’t squick anyone. what do you think you’re saying?
“squick free” someone writes on their wholesome family fic about married characters expecting a baby.
I read it and am extremely squicked.
You do not know what squicks other people. “Squick” is not a category of elements, it is a description of a reaction.
Squick is literally a personal thing, you literally cannot know what squicks another person.
Same goes for triggers, by the way. You can’t guarantee something is trigger-free because literally anything can be a trigger because the human brain can be weird like that sometimes.
No no, actually there’s a perfect way to write an absolutely squick free fanfic! Plenty of writers do it successfully every day!
Here.
Blank documents squick me out because they remind me of all my unstarted writing projects.
guys. c’mon.
oh my goddd
Okay, for anyone ACTUALLY unsure and wanting to learn: “squick” is an old fandom term. It means something that grosses you out or makes you deeply uncomfortable, but doesn’t give you as intense negative reactions as a trigger. They are incredibly personal, though often times, just like with triggers, you can tag relatively common squicks.
For me, mpreg is a squick. It makes me deeply uncomfortable, but it doesn’t send me into a panic spiral, a deep depression, or make me angry like reading about eye trauma does.
My cousins in Lannister, ‘squick’ didn’t even originate in fandom.
Also useful to note that ‘squick’ is specifically used to mean “this isn’t for me, personally” without adding a moral judgement to it. A simple easy way to say ‘no, thank you but you do you’. Unlike ‘cringe’ which has negative connotations. Squicks are also more than just uncomfortable.
Daddy kink makes me uncomfortable
Degradation squicks me out
Hand trauma is a trigger
First known usage of “squick” was in 1991. It’s not some new term that was made up for this post.
everyone out here acting like they don’t know what squick could possibly mean like they’ve never heard “gives me the ick” in their lives
Since it’s Spotify Wrapped season I thought I’d share this reminder that streaming services are killing the music industry. Musicians can’t make a living like this. If you love an artist, find them on Bandcamp and actually buy their albums.
In the absence of a better name, this is still Here’s To All The Burnouts. The oil reserve (hidden inside a hollow wall of the bowl) should allow for about 20 hours of burn; the bowl itself can be filled with other stuff.
