Craigslist or The Trending Page....Your Better Bargain
You know today I said to myself let's do some bargain hunting after viewing a few post on the Trending page, what if Steemian's had a choice between buying on Craigslist or buying some of the crap written on the Trending page....or better yet what if some of the posters could have saved themselves some time and looked for a better alternative then writing a crappy article for absurd amounts of money.
Case in point would be like this guys:
In his article he states:
Maybe my anger is unjustified, as I too have to date not earned the right to throw the first stone at anyone.
Now if he'd taken a few minutes to surf Craigslist he'd found a solution to his anger issue along with many others without costing Steemians $101.04. There were many self help books offered up at a real reasonable price, some from the same seller like this person's listing.
In his Craigslist posting he had a book titled:
Taming Your Gremlin: A Surprisingly Simple Method for Getting Out of Your Own Way by Rick Carson, ISBN 9780060520229. New condition with no markings. $5.
He further goes on to say:
So many opportunities to do good, to be productive, constructive, to use everything that has been made available so as to do good. It is all out there.
Instead of preaching to the choir he, without even clicking off that ad, could have found what was available to him to propel him to become a constructive, productive good little doobie. Lead by example is what most would say.
Heroic Living: Discover Your Purpose and Change the World by Chris Lowney, ISBN 9780829424423. New condition with no markings. $5.
In his gusty wind of anger he lambaste:
National or international, the idiotocracies are identical, literally identical, no mater how anyone looks at them.
Same immoralities, same lack of ethics, same power hungry motivation behind each mob, both literally killing in the name of wealth, both claiming that they are above and beyond what they really are.
Instead of getting angry would he have felt different and ended up saving Steemian's money if he had just order this book off that same listing and read it instead:
Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World--and Why Things Are Better Than You Think by Hans Rosling with Ola Rosling and Anna Rosling Rönnlund, ISBN 9781250107817. New condition with no markings. $10.
I love this part though...
So as not to get anything confused here, both the idiotocracies I mentioned earlier "left/right" insist upon people being compensated/paid for "doing good". It is the "amounts" that they claim to disagree upon, not the (i)moral of it all.
Imagine that,
Yes please do imagine that. Do I really have to go there. Do I, do I....awe what the hell..
As one wise person said many many moons ago, once the bucket was invented:
"Same shit different bucket"
It's "Same Shit Different Day" you immoral moron...and yes many of us agree that:
Because at the end of it all, it is the individual who pays the price.
...for your bucket full of shit that we don't agree with the amount on.

Will leave you wondering why he just didn't recommend you go out and buy yourself a game of Twister then to pay him $83.00 to tell you how to distort yourself into positions to stay awake. I don't care if I went on a three day bender I'd still be awake and sober enough to recognize this as chbartist masquerading as edgararel1, hell I might even let you blind fold me on top of it. Geez besides the layout what could have possibility given it away....could it have been,
A lot of HUGS...
If you want to know what arrogance and self grandeur looks like one just has to click on his trending post. Don't worry though Steemian's there's still a bargain left out there in this world for you...
Free clean glove box, kleenex boxes, toilet paper and paper towel rolls
...as this is all you are going to be able to afford after he gets done robbing you.

This next post is so...

bad that I don't think Romy and Michele would have been impressed. She images out some cheap Five and Dime looking rings that even if Steemian's ordered the five most expressive rings out of this lot on Craigslist still wouldn't have added up to the $149.38 lost on this debacle.
I think she (if it's a she as that sure looks like a mannequin with a wig on in that avatar) was inspired by the story of the Infinity rings, six singularities that can compress the powers of the universe and wipe out civilization, I think she thought if it can wipe out civilizations why not wallets...yours to be exact. This one definitely deserves....
The last one seems a bit subjective. I mean it's def overvalued imo. Not sure how geronimo is involved (noticed the votes on the post and two comments on that thread). I would recommend maybe a documentation of the artistic process via a screen record would really add some value to it.
It's disappointing... Sure but I wouldn't go so far as say it's abuse. Maybe the folks on our discord would disagree with me. IDK

He's the one paying for the bid bots to upvote it so it must be one of his socks, if not then whoever she is is great at positioning more then just jewelry sets. What open blatant open abuse of the system. Why would you even want to feel compelled to fight such a system, in the end it's going to lead no where productive and it starting to make me feel really sorry for the little guys you quash. Depressing to say the least.
I'm starting to feel the same way. I just would like to get the SFR code in a good enough state so I can feel ok with moving on to something more fulfilling in my life. I would like to be able to address big abusers as well but we need to be careful not to bite more than we can chew.

Yeah move on dude, you’re not welcome around here! For real we are forming an organization against you! Quit wasting your time thinking you are helping something or somebody. You are a scam, all those claims u just made against my posts and calling me stupid in your post? You are the idiot moron and everybody knows that! Get a life! I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but dull spoons hurt more when They gouge out u’r eyeballs! dummy! U r da tool! U’r da fool!
We've had dealing with Jack a while back. He and I had quite a bit of back and forth. I think it was because of him that I created my Steem Cop image. I think I also created a post at some point.
He's used to promote his comments ridiculously and we called him on it. Eventually, @spaminator got to them. As for this case, his rant took some degree of gray matter even if the amount is debateably.
That case is disputable so may not be best suited for SFR but personal flags for reward disagreement are understandable.
The second case I would bring up to Smartsteem for low quality content.
I have not bothered to look at the last but, if I am feeling like punishing myself later, I probably will.
The last one is the one I called you out for, the other two I figured have been going on so long there'd be some sort of obstacle in the way of dealing with.
What sort of mamby pamby excuse is "if I am feeling like punishing myself later"? You don't offer yourself up to do something then tell those who bring things to your attention if you feel like it....that shit is why I don't get involved in groups.
Oh lol. I thought you were calling it on all of them.
Reading comprehension is hard. I'll check it out 👍
