I asked the universe if it's a simulation and it gave me a sign that it is a simulation indeed.

- yes it is mono, yes. It's mind boggling. I don't get it why it's so big. There's no real use of that much space.NBQ00

OMG... long story short... my stepdad fell for a financial scam in the past couple weeks that resulted in him missing a multitude of red flags:
- someone calling from Apple about a problem with his phone
- Being asked to install remote viewer software on his phone and my moms
- Being asked to download cash transfer apps
- Staying on the phone with this guy who was trying to "fix" a problem on his phone for close to six hours yesterday. WTF...Discovered yesterday that they guy transferred / stole all the money in their checking account at the time - about $7,500. My stepdad has enough stress these days with some headache issues, a busy job, etc. and he feels like an idiot. I feel awful for them.
It goes to show how vulnerable older people are to scams like this. Me - I'm 42 and well aware of all these scams and exploits and such, I was just cringing the entire time my mom was describing it to me. Kind of a a "how can you be this dumb / but people fall for this every single day" thing.
They guy transferred money mostly in $500 increments, but there was a single transfer of $2,300 and some in between. This was all yesterday.
They went to the bank to talk to someone there, at least they're with a big bank that can help them. I went through some fraud issues over the summer with someone filing unemployment in my name, and attempting to take out a small business loan in my name - both of which were caught by the states where it was attempted, and luckily my company provides identity theft protection, so I had someone that could walk me through all the steps, police reports, etc.
But older people, man, they're just aimless out there as to how to deal with these things.
The red flags though... my stepdad is a smart guy and I cannot believe he took the bait, and so many times.
- WowNBQ00
- That sucksGnash
- My FiL fell for the ‘your computer has a virus’ shtick. Thankfully, he called me because he forgot the admin password on his computerGnash
- Thieves are disgusting. I'm sorry this happened to your FiL, notwithstanding red flags.Nairn
- @mg33 how did you explained him what happened and how to avoid these things?
they aren't dumb just not educated in these things, and i don't want to sound likested - an asshole but in some ways it was your fault too.sted
- "older people" is a loose term, like calling "food" food. The range is massive.
I think it's technologically ept AND inept people. Feel terrible for the later.ideaist - Apple Care********
- sted, I can't really follow but are you saying this is in part my fault? My stepdad is 68 and a smart guy; if I'd been there listening I'd have been like WTF???mg33
- ... but I don't really start up convos about the latest financial scams with him.mg33
- He knows now, that's for sure. After the fact, I know, but as he cataloged the red flags after the fact, he's never going to make those mistakes again.mg33
- we are the ones who have to tell them about these things, what to avoid, how to give out information, and what access means.sted
- hehe and thats interesting because that is exactly how i made my mother to understand these things. i just started to tell her stories, how these things worksted
- and there is always a good kidboga video

i added lemon zest to my blueberry bread and it tastes amazing
- Lemon is The. Best. Fruit.Nairn
- No, tomato is the best fruit!grafician
- that's why you add it to the pizza dude, lemon only for bread, tomato for pizza ok?grafician

How TF do spectacles get so dirty without ever touching them? My life is just endless glasses-cleaning now.
At least i can finally see my monitor without being six inches away.
- yeah but do your eyelashes literally paint your eye boogers to the interior of the lenses if you have them on too close? gross you say? ...all day long.PonyBoy
- That sounds annoying!scarabin
- Goya, an artist I adore, impregnated Leocadia in adultery, while he was 68 and she was 23 years old.maquito
- Oh, shit. I’m drunk. Intended for next post.maquito
- since wearing reading glasses i ask the same quaestine!renderedred
- Get used to it, I'm afraid. Like Pony said, your eyelashes smashing up against the lenses will do it. So will cooking, especially frying anything.Continuity
- Story of my life. For best results, wash your glasses while you wash your hands, with soap and water. Helps with fogging up too.monospaced

Is it okay to love the work of an artist who’s a complete piece of shit? Do you have a line and where do you draw it?
I’ve been enjoying charlie chaplin’s work lately, completely oblivious to the reality that he was a pedophile. https://www.vice.com/en/article/…
I also found out one of my favorite authors, hakim bey, was into little boys.
And then of course there’s an endless list of musicians that were pieces of shit but produced great work...
- Salvador Dali beat women https://www.vice.com…scarabin
- Is it okay to enjoy Hitler’s art?scarabin
- Cosby Show is so good.********
- Honestly, Vice is trash. Clickbait bullshit. I skimmed this and his youngest wife was 16? This is legal in most states with parental consent.********
- I’m not saying it’s acceptable, but the accusation is a little ridiculous. Also Chaplin’s been dead a long time. I say watch the art. Just my opinion.********
- No need to glorify the man, you can enjoy the art without glorifying the artist. E.g. Cosby show!********
- When it comes to art, I don’t care about the artists, but their production. I don’t even care about who cooked my steak at the restaurant today.maquito
- Goya, an artist I adore, impregnated Leocadia in adultery, while he was 68 and she was 23 years old.maquito

- @nb - Actually, Lita Grey's mother threatened to dob him into the Police if he didn't make an honest woman of her. even in those days he was 'a bit off'.Nairn
- Ridiculous article. Publicly schooling someone for being late = cruelty ? Give me a break! The art speaks for itself.spl33nidoru
- I also like Hakim Bey and felt really bad after I knew about it.oey_oey
- But I do think mostly like that, if I know some artist is as a person in a certain way I just close my door.oey_oey
- things is one never knows everything about everyone. and that's more important to me.oey_oey
- I think the work stands on its own, I don't think it matters what kind of person is behind it. It's not like anyone cares about the sex life of the artists whozarkonite
- made all those ancient greek sculptures... and it's impossible to judge people who lived in different societies in different times.zarkonite

I am a bit frustrated, because after presenting 4 aesthetic directiona for a brand book (brand whose client sent an approved logo and contracted us to design it’s brand book), our marketing director decided that we were not prepared to design options for the brand book’s design but that we should propose overall messaging and different brand voice tones.
I am not frustrated by the request to work on that nature of aspects of the brand, in fact I think it’s the way to go, but the client sent a logo, without more, and asked for a damn brand book. They didn't ask for a brand story. They are definitely not paying for us to create it. I wasted about 20hs designing something useless, and now I must start all over again, yeeeei!
- Do you really say “directiona” or is that a typo?********
- Typo. Directionsaaa.maquito
- Or do I look the kind of person who would say QBNA, itsa me, maquitoa!maquito
- Does “Maquito” imply the existence of a larger, mysterious, “Maquo”?scarabin
- i'm still trying to understand why the people who did the logo aren't doing the brand book. would have thought one came from the other...hans_glib
- marketing director should have been involved from the start, their fault for not, too late to suggest stuff.shapesalad

I have a client prospect who through all communications refers to herself as "Mrs [surname]". Obviously with her actual name in place there.
It's really odd.
- As in refers to herself in third person within conversation or just signs off her emails with Mrs... as her name?microkorg
- & I had a client once who referred to herself in the 3rd person during conversationGnash
- ‘“Chantal likes where you’re going with the design...” for realGnash
- As in "Hey, it's Mrs [surname]...".
In texts. In emails. On the phone.
Thing is, I can see her forename on her emails. It's not a bad name. Why?Nairn - So weird. Maybe she’s a closet VictorianGnash
- Maybe just lettin' you know she is a 'MRS' so is taken. Maybe thinks you were givin' her the eye? :Pmicrokorg

There are a lot of people dying via electrocution because they charge their phone while taking a bath and the phone falls in the bathtub while plugged in.

Just had the "So... er.. how do you identify?" conversation with someone who works here. They're outwardly female and really nice, but they've always been a bit 'troubled' (given the conversations I've overheard over the last year or so).
I only asked them because they corrected someone when they were referred to as 'She' last night.
Sad thing is, they admitted to having been abused and coupling that with their baggy-clothed but fundamentally feminine appearance, I couldn't help but mentally go all Psyche 101 and draw my own conclusions as to why they're on the path they're on.
Second person this year I've found out has been abused, the other being a very good friend. I actually cried a bit (in anger) when my friend told me, and I felt myself welling up a bit here.
God forbid I ever come across a sexual abuser. I'm not sure how I'd react. Not well, I suspect.
