I am now reasonably sure of one additional way in which I won't get my friends killed.
There's a great bit in Angel, as I remember it anyway, where he loses his shit cause he loses cellphone reception and just starts complaining about fucking cellphones. And then at the end of the episode when the issue is finally resolved Cordelia is like "Dude, you could have just called and fixed this ages ago" and he's like ".... shit".
Old Man Angel was always funny.
hahahahha
this is an old time trick from street dealers, taken to the internet
amazing
there was a bit when he grouses about the price of concert tickets and they all look at him and he's like "I'm not... I'm not cheap, I'm just old"
who would even respond "not right now"
i'm saying yes to that question every single time and prepared to get tetanus.

Yeah but I would have assumed military stuff from Taiwan would have been shipped a different route just for the diplomatic nicety of it.

Sunday morning.
Getting my own place isn't coming fast enough.
things slowly begin to disintegrate as you refuse to use your power to save everyone
a traveler stops at your homestead with tales of the horrors in other lands... will you leave, or stick your head in the sand, play your minigames, and see how bad it gets?
Is the real game here to see how high your score goes before the world burns? Or is there something else here, a different game entirely, should you choose to play it?
low level hacking has become mostly con-artistry and blackmail. with a touch of social engineering of course.
seriously god damn social engineering is hilarious.

Wait why are you not downloading the enhanced edition wait stop no
fun fact
all my security questions aren't based on my own real life details
they're based on those of a fictional character
so "mother's maiden name" isn't my mother's maiden name
it's this character's mother's maiden name
it means no matter how close to me someone is, it's basically impossible for them to guess my security question answers unless I literally tell them which characters I'm using for which sites
my own wife doesn't know those things
now, there's a potential for this fucking me over, if I forget which character I use for which site, but that's a risk I'll take
@jungleroomx stop
you're downloading the Classic edition
download the Enhanced Edition it's so much better like objectively
i've done this for a long time. it almost fucked me over with a battle.net account but apparently if you're nice enough to customer service they'll just let you reset if you have access to the email
i still use all made up answers to that sort of stuff and while it has bitten me in the ass more than once I don't regret it.

I've been hacked SO many times.
Don't forget basic use of intext and filetype searches in google. Thankfully google has done some tweaking and there are enough articles on this to filter it out. But a horrifying number of people keep files like this in searchable directories.
Oh no.
Paraphrasing a greentext dnd story to remove dumb language:
>Campaign starts
>Player asks "Is gay marriage allowed in this kingdom?"
>"NO, marriage is mostly for alliance, children, and the dowry. But we'll say homosexuality is tolera-"
>Player character immediately sets off to overthrow the king, usurp the throne, instate gay marriage
>Eventually instates democracy and fights a war for it
>Player eventually gets named president and makes her first act to legalize gay marriage
>As she is signing the law, the clouds gather and the entire town is massacred by an army of undead soldiers.
>"What the fuck DM?!"
>"I told you full well that you had to kill that lich before he completed the ritual and ushers in an age of eternal darkness. Apparently you thought gay marriage was more important than not getting killed by an army of zombies and skeletons."
RPGs are hilarious.
It almost fucked me over once, with a bank account I hadn't logged in to like two years because it's not my main bank account, it's my secondary account with a bank I don't normally work with
so I needed to hit it with the security question even though I got the password right because I hadn't used it since I moved across the country and it was like "uh you don't live in BC according to our records who be you"
and I had to wrack my brain as to what character I used for that site, and it was important to remember because I had a grand deposited in there by someone I hadn't updated my banking info with in a while
I wanted that dolla!
I thought I had the right character but I bombed the first question. I was like "that's deffo the right answer to that question if that's the right character, so it's clearly not"
second attempt nailed it
-doesn't return my calls
-sends out a Thanksgiving Day email about her worsening health, still won't pick up the phone
-makes throwaway comment on my Facebook post
I forgot about that. For the longest time you could just straight up find security cameras through google.
it was a beautiful insecure paradise.
this story makes my brain frown
You still can. Although there are sites that make this easier.
you know what's still a thing?
finding default image name formats for pictures taken by digital cameras and phones, slamming that into google image search with a random number
so like img_large_0000014.jpg
there is a shocking number of nudes that come up this way, it's super fucked, and it's generally from people uploading them to like photobucket and not thinking they'll be searchable in any way
(tbf I don't think actual photobucket is still searchable this way if you properly unlist your photos but)
this feels a little like playing Russian roulette
