TIFU By starting an NFT website

So I've had this idea for a long time of making NFTs that I could sell and that would enable the buyer to select a toy from a list that would then be donated to pediatric hospitals around the US and I finally made my first piece of artwork and was preparing to launch on the Solana Network. So after about a month of learning how to "code" and putting together a temporary website to test my server out to mint and attempt to grow a fan base, I was able to save enough money up to rent a VPS and buy a domain for the year. Things were coming together pretty smoothly and I was pretty proud of what I was able to accomplish all by myself with minimal programming/HTML knowledge and a lot of YouTube.

Shortly after setting up my "Coming Soon" website with a Facebook, Instagram and Twitter link, I started getting a bunch of messages and comments on my first posts telling me that I'm a scammer and that I stole their money. I was kind of confused because I just launched my site, but I was mostly surprised because my MailChimp subscription signups were blowing up only about an hour after launching my site's homepage.

Turns out, there was a site called shiba game that stole a bunch of peoples crypto in an exit scam and their domain home page is now showing my coming soon site and redirects to my webpage. So now I'm being flooded with angry messages and public comments all over my social media pages from people claiming I'm a scam company and that I owe them money.

I can't figure out how the hell to stop the other domain from showing my website without destroying all the progress I've made on my website and buying a new virtual server. And of course the scam site that is forwarding to mine had to be a crypto related site as well, making it look even sketchier.

I understand how it looks, I would make the same assumptions too and would probably be making the same assumptions. Just one in a million shit luck and I don't know how to fix it, especially considering I registered my baby company as an LLC under the name that's already been tarnished in 3 days of posting a simple "Coming Soon" webpage.

So now I have an angry mob that thinks I ripped them off demanding repayment, a tarnished company name/reputation and this is literally within 3 days of just launching a "Coming Soon" placeholder website to run some tests. Feeling a little defeated after putting in so much effort and time and wanted to share my fuckup. So be careful if you ever start a website, there may be an angry mob waiting to light their torches and head your way.

TL;DR: Made my first website and a scam website that disappeared last month and stole a bunch of people's money is redirecting to my brand new NFT website leading an angry mob that was scammed to flood my social media accounts with demands for repayment and accusations of my NFTs being a scam.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
