There's a common gimmick that's been popular online where a content creator will try to make a bunch of sequential trades to turn a paper clip or a pencil into something more substantial like $1000, a car or a house.

In this case, known as The Trade House Project, a woman named Dana did exactly that, traded up from a paper clip all the way to a house.

However, she didn't really need a house so she decided to give it away, and in 2022 chose an 18 year old girl named Shay to receive the house, because Shay had a tragic backstory (mom died of cancer when she was 2, dad killed himself in the aftermath) and I guess that was all it took to win the contest, it's not exactly clear.

Here's a video of a shutterfly sponsorship video when Shay initially moved in

Not only did she get a house & $10,000 from Shutterfly, but people also started sending her tons of Amazon packages from a wish list that was set up so she and her bf could start a new life together

The drama started yesterday, when Shay posted a video crying and claiming that Dana had banned her from her own house and that the entire giveaway was a scam (video, along with Shay's entire account, has since been deleted).

Dana came back posting a video with receipts

TL;DW: Shay had moved in for a month, then disappeared for 14 months while continuing to text Dana that she would be back to live in the house any day now. Because Shay had been there for such a short period, she never actually received the title to the house. Eventually Dana went into the house and found garbage, maggots, cat piss and shit everywhere and generally the house had been trashed, and decided to reclaim it and ban Shay from the house.

Tiktok drama girlies are pretty much universally pooping on Shay to the point where she deleted everything. What do you think?

It's funny that the psych response to BPD's in our hospital who threaten to kill themselves is "do it you won't" and they are right every time

What's some use you guys have gotten out of the edit logging feature, lately? Have your feelings on it changed?

Aevann says the use case is for drafting effortposts and preventing time-wasting mistakes, but tbh I'm not convinced it's of much help when the text editor is naked and the preview feature doesn't really give you an idea of what your post will look like with half the features- better to work in notepad.

!effortposters this feature carries on in your name so definitely make your voices heard!

To the rest of us !dramatards and !poll_voters, edit logging affects everyone.

I thought Donkey Kong December was forced and unfunny. Therefore, if I block everyone who participated in it, I'll stop seeing unfunny posts, and only ever see gems

I called this idea COMEDY EUGENICS and I still stand by the principle of it, but ohmyGOD Kongs were the WORST target You guys carry this website. Seriously, my feed is absolutely dry and desolate now. It's magnatudes slower, and the posts that get through are less funny.

I'm sorry Kongs. You were right and I was wrong. I am reversing the ban

I'd still consider this experiment a success though. Why? Because, by making my feed a boring stagnant swamp, I learned who the real enemy is.

Wanna know who is really killing rdrama? The true coal miners of this site?!?

THE UNBLOCKABLES

THAT'S RIGHT!! THEY'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO I DIDNT BLOCK!!! And when you see nothing but their post, oh my GOD is it a chore!

I am starting a new initiative. A NEW FRONTIER FOR COMEDY EUGENICS. I will be making a browser plugin that blocks ALL THE UNBLOCKABLE, UNTOUCHABLE SWINE!!! Then, and ONLY THEN, will my feed be pure!

in the meantime, I have some apologies to write.

(love that reddit has become a generic trademark for unfunny)

A federal court has ordered Lolcow LLC to state:

TRANS LIVES MATTER

ACAB = All Cops Are Bad-Butt, suck on it you pinko criminal scumbags.

just kidding, I'm sure this is mostly driven by the mass of unemployed people.

I have some bizarre antique animal horn ornament that someone hand-painted hitler on which my mom found some years ago in a thrift shop lol
