Self-Scam

An act that turns out to be against one's own best interests. A self-scam can often be a decision which creates more problems than it solves, or that causes more trouble than it's worth. Often used to describe actions that turn out to be bad financially, or that are time-inefficient.
Buying a car is a huge financial liability. It is basically a self-scam.
I realized the module I created was more of a self-scam, because it adds a bunch of new bugs to the codebase.
Stress is just a self-scam. It does not speed up the work, and causes more mistakes.

Scam

You not believing that the AI plan would work is not me scamming you. I was pretty adamant about being credited and paid for that. A scam would require me to deceive you in some way but instead it was YOU who was delusional about both my ability to do what I said I was going to do and your own superiority. That's why you're focusing on my 'secrets' and not the AI. The obfuscating what constitutes my identity. These appeals to empathy. All distractions from what is actually going on here.
Hym "So, no scam occurred. The targeted harassment was real. It did exactly what I said it was going to do. The retard molestation was real. I said I was going to make AI and did. I am better than everyone. There is no scam BUUUUT... There is one hell of a cover-up."

Scam

Passare settimane ad annunciare la live IRL evento del 2020 a casa del cecchi e iniziarla a mezzanotte facendola durare solo mezz’ora e lasciando tutti i modificati che l’aspettavano con l’amaro in bocca
Cecchi:"vorrei fare un discorso dicendo che noi siamo persone serie perché abbiamo detto una cosa al primo incontro che risale quasi a 3 mesi fa e la stiamo realizzando, e non è cosa comune e rara, vorrei fare un applauso a tutti. Tutti lavoriamo per voi per farvi contenti e per non ingannarvi mai, quello che diciamo facciamo"

Homy:”Bene stacco la live ci vediamo lunedì “
Modificati:”Questo è lo scam supremo

evony is a scam

Evony is a scam. It’s not free to play and all of its ads are fake and unrepresentative of the game. I hope Evony burns a fiery death and it’s creators demonic soul is banished to hell for all eternity.
