People on TikTok are also very naive, the amount of doubt or double-checking facts is very low. Someone can upload a video of “real audio from Titan submersible implosion” and people eat it up.

Then they’ll make fun of boomers posting “Amen” on Facebook’s relentless AI-generated soldier/Jesus pictures without realizing.

Typically such a switch would have a ridge on the “on” side to remove that confusion, if they didn’t label it outright. Pity if they neglected that too.

Yes, that is adjusted for inflation. They raised prices beyond what was necessary to account for increased costs and had record high profit margins, so you had companies like ConAgra foods reporting profits 60% higher than the same quarter the year before, and people accepted it because of the pandemic and stimulus packages (“Biden dumped money in the economy!”) and labor shortages. It made a great scapegoat. Those loans existed before the pandemic, they really don’t account for what happened. Inflation driven by corporate gouging had never been seen before like this.

You can find a lot of information about greedflation.

If it was just devalued currency the corporations would also be dealing with a devalued currency and not recording record profits. That’s one of the reasons getting a handle on it was such a challenge.

Yes, that one became such a trope it made it all the way to SNL and I doubt Google paid for the advertising.

Like the people walking around malls and driving their Tesla with one on? I think those are completely organic. I think for a little while there will be a subset of people who see them as a status symbol and want the attention.

For the next four decades they’ll be asking everyone if they made this post

They didn’t ignore his mother, they argued that she hadn’t been in the US for enough time. For a birth abroad with one citizen parent, between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, the U.S. citizen parent must have been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for 10 years prior to the person’s birth, at least five of which were after the age of 14. After 1986 it became 5 years / 2 years after 14.

She was 18 when she gave birth to Barack. He was born in Hawaii so it didn’t matter.

What they really ignored is there was zero reason for her to lie and say he was born in Hawaii. Even if it wasn’t automatic, obtaining citizenship for her child when she moved back home would have been paperwork, but not difficult. There is no downside to doing it that way unless her plan all along was for him to be the president. Makes no logical sense and a heck of a lot easier to just do the forms.

At one point some people tried to argue John McCain wasnt eligible either as he was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which also made no difference.

Ancestry yes, but converts are also eligible.

Birthright Israel offers trips to converts too, as long as you are in the age limits.

The law of return also allows converts to obtain citizenship.

In both cases you would have to be a practicing member of the community and do all of the necessary steps to officially become a member.

It isn’t

Typically you start with the podcast and in the later episodes begin to advertise the upcoming Netflix series. Meanwhile, the trailer for the series mentions it’s based on the podcast. It’s a win/win and can generate buzz on both sides.

Or a building the US decides is a drone factory.

Phone and email scams work just the same. Only takes one grandma emptying her savings to make it worth it. And they get a lot of people who should otherwise know better.

Phone scams especially use high pressure, unfamiliar situations, and fear to keep people from thinking about what’s actually happening, and you end up with otherwise intelligent people buying iTunes gift cards to get out of a warrant. Usually the victim figures out they’ve been scammed within minutes of the call ending, unless they have some cognitive decline.

No hr component, no reason for her to take it seriously except for the annoyance of the training. Give her a little scare and maybe she doesn’t have to be terminated, or she’s just an idiot.

Unfortunately a lot of companies treat IT as an annoying afterthought, so it isn’t uncommon for there to be no real enforcement mechanism.

This is always a fun experiment when you are doing contracted IT work. In my experience in large organizations with multiple facilities where everyone does not know everyone, looking the part and having confidence when you ask someone to let you in the server room is all it takes to get in. They aren’t surprised you don’t know where it is. Helps to have a Catalyst switch in one hand.

For physical security though, badged entry to the building especially with a foyer where guests wait on a routine basis, and a strong anti-tailgating culture where everyone must badge in, will go a long way to getting normal people to pay attention. Not as easy in publicly accessible places like a hospital or some of the places I was working.

I think they support Israel to a fault, but I don’t think that extends to somehow protecting him against internal politics.

If it was a family computer it sounds more like she had signed in too. YouTube and Google support multiple accounts being signed in at once and have for years, with an account picker (Instagram does too, on the mobile app). Assuming it was you only due to location or IP would be a huge and highly publicized security lapse, think of college, workplace, coffee shop. The deviantart thing is because they had the same IP address, that has long been a way of checking for ban evasion or banning people in the first place. Spillover to other people in the household is expected and accepted when designing it that way.

If you were using a phone number, which is generally the worst form of 2FA, they could potentially correlate that the accounts are at least related. Most sites wouldn’t, but places like Google or Facebook might. Other forms like TOTP or passkeys should not.

Was going to share this. I’ve had a lot of fun on there in the past. One of the best parts is if you’re in a good sized group, nobody is weirded out of you go say hi and introduce yourself and start talking because they are all there for the same thing.

I’ve also found some great activities, like random capture the flag with dozens of people that I haven’t played since high school otherwise.
