It really is mind-boggling to me that people are losing tons of money because hackers cracked their stolen vaults and they still hadn't rotated the credentials they had stored in them.
We couldn't have screamed any louder for people to assume anything in LastPass was compromised and change it all ASAP. That was >6 months ago.
Luck is not a strategy.
If you used LastPass and still haven't rotated creds, act now. It may not be too late.

HOW, in DOG'S NAME, do you see something that would take 5 secs to remedy, and then JUST NOT DO IT??????

How in the world can someone's mind work like this?

I'm not mad, just... incredulous.

Of course, I come from a family of fixerrs/repairers and he emphatically does NOT. But still...

I am the organizer of a group in which does -safe movie outings.
There's a woman in the group whom I know from before (our kids went to the same school) who has IMO always been socially clueless.
For the most recent outing, she paid for six tickets. Then she sent me an email saying that she didn't actually know if she needed that many but if not, could I donate the extra to the theater foundation I mentioned in my email?

1/5

I will never not be surprised by people who can't follow simple, straightforward instructions.
If I'm organizing something that you want to participate in, and I ask you to answer six simple, specific questions when emailing me to express your interest, please answer the six fucking questions. Thanks.

Silsbee, TX, July 25, 2023:

A woman was mowing. Then a snake and a hawk attacked from the sky.
‘I looked down, screaming this whole time, “Help me, Jesus! Please, help me, Jesus!”’

Years ago, I bought a copy of Gaia GPS so that I could use my phone for maps in the wilderness. It was $20 which was expensive for an app but much cheaper than a dedicated GPS. It's been great! But, in the intervening years the company was bought out and the new owners switched it to a subscription service. Luckily, as a long time user, my license is valid forever but that doesn't stop the new folks from asking me if I wouldn't rather upgrade from not paying to a monthly subscription.

Wow, who could have guessed that if you walk around a conference with lots of ex-military people during a COVID surge without keeping a good mask on you'll catch COVID and help spread it. Aren't people supposed to be good at measuring risk?

With what..more tax cuts or "carbon credits"??? You mean, like, more of what they have already too damn much of is going to push them away from the same regressive behavior we reward them for doing in the first place?

Oh, wait.... that's only reserved for us riffraff on "welfare" who need "free labor", "tough love" work ethic and "personal responsibility" through strict Calvinist/Puritanist discipline, right?

These suckas. So damn predictable.

They’re White nationalists and, ironically, they love to tan. They just don’t like the idea of the nation becoming increasingly “tan.”

Northwestern football team: "We didn't do it, and our coach didn't know anything about the thing we didn't do. Also, there was an investigation, which proves everything was fine, but we're not going to say anything about what the investigation actually concluded, because it wasn't fine."
I can't believe the university let the players put out this idiotic statement.

I simply cannot understand why, more than 40 years after the advent of the personal computer, there are still people who ask for IT help by saying "It doesn't work" with no indication whatsoever of what that means.
If you do that, then THE VERY FIRST THING the person you're asking for help is going to do is say, "Can you be more specific?" You can save yourself and them time and get help faster by BEING SPECIFIC RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE. This isn't rocket science.

Doctors and hospital staff not wearing masks is what for-profit medicine is all about. Hospitals are citing similar decisions by other hospitals to not mask as their justification to not mask their staff is exactly the take you should expect from America.

I'm at my daughter's high school graduation at an expensive private school with a highly educated parent body and the vast majority of the people in the audience have failed a basic intelligence test.(*) 🤦

(*)Are not wearing masks.

This column's suggestion,to solve the problem of scandals by getting rid of the audits entirely is absurd.
Audits deter . Executives and auditors attest under threat of civil and criminal liability that audits are truthful and accurate. The scandals and consequences when that's found not to be the case prove the system is WORKING.
Get rid of the audits and there will obviously be significantly more fraud.

He specifically pooh-pooh'd the idea that climate change was a good reason to be depressed, saying that if a kid is depressed about climate change they need a therapist.
(FTR, my therapist is 100% on-board with my fears and concerns about climate change and acknowledges that it was as perfectly reasonable thing to be depressed over.)
No joke, he literally said to me, "There was a blizzard on my bar mitzvah. Bad weather happens, that's life."
