onslaught545@lemmy.zipto memes@lemmy.world•Before the algorithm took over, natural cruelty ruled supreme.103·10 hours agoI don’t think millennials are responsible for 4chan. That shit was a cesspool while most of them were in elementary school.
Most politicians are absolutely guilty of fraud.
You don’t have to promise anything in return for it to be fraud. If I start a Go Fund Me because I have cancer when I really don’t have cancer, the people donating aren’t promised anything in return. It’s still fraud.
So, it’s not fraud if I tell my grandma with dementia that it’s my birthday once a week so she keeps giving me birthday checks?
It’s pretty much the textbook definition of fraud. What are you talking about?
Fraud is defined as intentional deception to deprive a victim of a legal right or to gain unlawfully from a victim.
He intentionally deceived 35 people for material gain. It’s even more fraud if he deceived each one about only dating them.
In the US that could also potentially be rape by deception if any of them slept with him because they thought they were exclusive.

But in all honesty, I usually ignore flash flooding alerts too. There are just so many false alarms.

Although when Jesus comes back he’s supposed to be wrathful, so he’d probably kill all the Christians who use his name for hate as his first act.
