Trying to file a dispute/get a chargeback on PayPal but not liking my chances, even though the person who tipped me off made an extremely well-documented and comprehensive file of evidence. I'll probably just have to eat it. No good deed goes unpunished.

oh jesus, i'm so sorry

That's terrible! I hope you are able to get your money back.

Sorry to hear that.

Because I have also been (casually) bodybuilding/gymming for the better part of a decade, I also thought about doing barebones reviews of protein products ("Does It Taste Like Dirt", using a rating scale of 0 to 5 dirts, the less dirts a product has the better it tastes).

Having a "whatever" personal site sitting there is all well and fine, I like it being there and I like looking at other people's, but... you know.

Not something for me, but it sounds like a good idea to make, even if it's just for yourself and a handful of people that might find it.

If you were to do guides on gymming/training or ideal exercises focusing certain parts of the body, that'd be up my alley. I'm looking for more exercises that focus on my lower body, but without putting pressure on my back because of a back injury.

That's certainly something I'd have bookmarked if you ever go ahead with it. But I get what you're saying about the ones that need it probably wouldn't be choosing to visit, but others that are aware can use it as a resource perhaps to show others? idk

I think both of those ideas sound great and many people would probably benefit from them! The "dirt scale" sounds hilarious too.

my site started purely for personal stuff but i've had a lot of fun trying to include things others might find useful. both an anti-consumerist or protein product guide sound interesting to me.

@tojisworld - That's a fun idea! I'm not a PT or anything, but I have been through a few sports injuries (fucked up my lower back on a hack squat machine and plantar fasciitis, both needed physio) so I'd like to research and slowly formulate some beginner-to-intermediate resistance training programs...

Thank you for your pieces of feedback by the way, it's very helpful to me figuring out where to go next.

I like the idea of "deinfluencing" and I'd love to see it become realized! While it might struggle to reach the audience who needs it, I think having it in the first place is a good first step.

I don't often engage in forum posts like this but I hate advertising with such a passion, the psychological implications of consumerism and overabundance of advertising is gonna be a major topic in psychology in the next couple decades, so this is important work, even just laying the groundwork for some conversations about it is progress.

Thank you for your thoughts, too. These are scary times. I don't have much to offer, but I just contributed something to the gofundme. Take care!
