My heart breaks for cool ideas that got taken by scammers and are now forever associated with financial predators and will probably never see legitimate use.

I'd imagine that you graduate high school at 18 and choose to go to college for the next 4, meaning you graduate as a 22-year old. Add or subtract a year for birthdays that align oddly with the academic year.
Thanks for explaining, I didn't think you were insinuating that they were lying at all! I may have been overly influenced by another comment
+1. I do believe the user you are replying to but I believe you too. People can have different experiences without lying or being disingenuous. I'm probably more tech-savvy than the average user but far below average for programming.dev or a Linux community. For me, Linux Just Works out of the box, but I admit I'm on a gaming-specific distro (Nobara, a Fedora derivative) and I'm only using it to be a gaming computer. Sometimes it opens a web browser. Art, music, programming, printing all happen somewhere else (my Mac).
My UI could be prettier but it is not distractingly bad or ugly. Just changed my wallpaper and that's probably the only visual customization I'll do.
Best guess: it's like the innocuous "wrong number" scam or the looking for love email scams. Talk with "her", form a "friendship" or "romance" until she has your trust enough to sucker you into buying whatever scam bitcoin or sending money.
As a Real Woman™ I would never send a blurry candid to introduce my face. The poor lady who got her picture stolen (maybe this is a video screenshot?) probably has nicer shots of herself. Ironically the spammer trying to seem "authentic" with this picture just makes her feel faker. I imagine most people want to put our best foot forward and make a good impression, hence a nice picture.
Not sure why this is being downvoted. My main takeaway is just that while taking a break works for a lot of people a lot of the time, for this person sometimes it doesn't.
People are different and sometimes if you are new to something, it's helpful to see both the popular advice (take a break) and that it might not always work for some people (this poster).
I made a burner gmail semi-recently (in past 2.5 years) without giving them a phone number, but things might have changed since…
Hope you're being facetious, if your spouse genuinely doesn't respect your time and need for silence at certain times that sounds like a relationship issue.

Got that on Programmer Humor last year! Finding that kind of unintentional message is always funny
