I think the problem is that they grossly over estimated how many people actually wanted to buy a “legit” Commodore branded Commodore Ultimate when they came up with the idea to buy the Commodore brand.
Now they are trying to come up with ways to make it profitable but they don’t really seem to understand Product Market Fit.
I think it would be a better idea to do some high quality branded merch.
Yes this is the pattern I’ve noticed as well.
I don’t know. The ratio of posts to replies is also typical of a bot.
The post history matches bot warming to a T, look for yourself
J.W. Conway was not a doctor, psychologist, or scientist and he self-published this book.
Doctors at the time did not think of left-handedness as a problem. It was a cultural and religious belief that made people force their kids to be right-handed.
Here we go again with the bot asking and answering its own questions.
Pretty sure the same operator is behind these as well
What are you doing Hermes?
I’m becoming convince that this account is some kind of bot op. Always this type of easily searched question with enough detail in the body to indicate the user is fully capable of searching. Operating a fairly predictable schedule.
I run into my share of disagreeable people. I just block and move on. I rarely waste my time giving them any engagement at all. For me at least, there aren’t actually that many I needed to block, just a loud few.
I don’t experience that in the comms I frequent. Do you have an example thread?
I do think the Ultimate C64 is very nice. If it came out 5-6 years ago I would have bought it. By the time it came out tho, I have already put together a couple of my own “ultimate” C64s. For someone who is starting from scratch I would certainly suggest a Commodore Ultimate.
For me, I’ve been hoping they would do something more like the Mega65.
That’s the thing. I already have almost a dozen original and remake Commodore 64s. Also Plus/4, C128, and so on. I don’t know who the target market of the new Commodore is, but it doesn’t feel like its me.
Come on Commodore, I want a retro computer with new Herdware in it. Not some crippled linux phone.
No, its extremely unlikely.
I think we turned a corner in 2014-2015.
That’s when Facebook really started embracing making people angry on purpose to keep them engaged. We aren’t just that bad, some of the most used social networks have been actively bringing out the worst in us for over a decade now.
That’s very unlikely. These romance/pig butchering scammers operate from outside the USA and have no interest in attracting the kind of attention such an attack would bring.
Planning the trip is almost certainly to build trust and make the relationship seem real. All with the goal that the target willingly gives the scammer the money. If he goes to Los Angeles after she cancels, there will be no driver to pick him up.
What should we expect next?
Likely she will cancel the trip at the last second and claim to have a work or family emergency. Then she will need money.
Or shortly before the trip she will share an investment opportunity and offer him to join her in it. It will turn out to be fake.
Or both.

Yeah and why doesn’t anyone worry about quicksand anymore?!
Yes, I think part of the trick is that the CEO is a great video producer and has a large fanbase for his yt channel who are very enthusiastic about his ideas even if they won’t actually buy such a phone.
