Ah. I thought this was an isolated incident. I understand, and agree with, your point.

Fuck it. This scam was clever enough that I appreciate and sorta admire it.
In every other circumstance I can think of, “I can’t make money doing a thing unless I break the law” means don’t do that thing.
Why should AI get special treatment?
Yes, but you can also do a chargeback if the company you purchased from sold you a lousy product and isn’t being reasonable about returning it. If you had paid with cash, that cash is GONE.
Each method has its pros and cons.
Yikes. I thought that looked like a soldering iron, but I really hoped I was wrong. Damn.
Maybe they want you to be grateful that you could actually get to a hospital, instead of just suffering in the street? “Count your blessings”, instead of focusing on the negative stuff?
You’re right, though. This isn’t a great message for an emergency room.
Good point. Perhaps I should have said something like “Telrgram has a disproportionately high percentage of tin foil hat folks.
Why is Telegram "insane"?
Because you get people who think other people’s opinions are “programmed”, or that those people are “brainwashed”.
Telegram serves useful purposes. Unfortunately, it can also be a breeding ground for the tin foil hat folks.
On the rare occasions that I’ve dragged out “it is what it is”, I’ve really wanted to say something like neither of us can change it, and instead of working towards a solution, all you’ve done is COMPLAIN for the last hour. Now SHUT UP, accept the situation, and make yourself useful!
"If you can't take me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best."
I always take that as “l am a garbage person who will abuse you.” It is a MASSIVE red flag.
Huh. You might be right.
I didn’t realize it was a thing. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
