My partner Aura just launched their new "Are you smarter than a scammer?" quiz. Take the quiz and see if you’re as savvy as you think: https://bit.ly/aurasts if you were a child in the US from the 1970s-onward, you might be entitled to financial compensation for having to attend these cringey assemblies where some weird dude would bribe you with junk prizes so that you would sell hundreds of dollars worth of chocolate or wrapping paper or whatever. sorry, scratch that, there's no financial compensation, because even the schools you went to couldn't be financially supported in the first place! and it was somehow YOUR JOB to keep them afloat! anyway I decided to take a look at this strange product of late-stage capitalism that had been a distant memory, only to remember it one night when I was drunk and playing DnD. let me know if you had to endure these horrorshows too. enjoy!
