It's not reasonable to scold strangers, especially if you're just some random employee.

Sounds like you were upset that you had a job looking at a door, and took it out on people.

I made a FB account to change a client's Page settings, and now I pretty regularly get emails from FB along the lines of "Having trouble signing into your account?" because there's been tons of failed repeated logins. I think it might just be a normal part of having a FB account? Can't speak for the other services.

Sorry, the assumption I left out is that whoever is running the keylogger would see you logging into a "valuable" account during their logging and then try to access it. Since it'd be a new account with nothing on it, there's nothing for the attacker to really compromise, but you could get a notification letting you know someone new logged in, which would let you know that someone successfully captured you logging in.

I think if I were concerned, I'd try creating a honeypot account on some service that notifies me when someone new logs in (like google). Then I'd log into that account sometimes while playing the game and monitor it for any new logins. It still could have a keylogger even after all that, though.

"by and large" and "taken aback" are another couple examples.

I actually just switched all our default search engines to Bing yesterday. Google is showing "Sponsors" that link directly to a full screen page with tons of warnings telling you to call some 800 number so you can get scammed. And that's after nearly downloading a fake Blender install a few weeks ago. I'm done with it.

I came across this a few months ago (several ads offering their own downloads for blender from copycat sites). All their downloads were hosted on GitHub and had known viruses when uploaded to VirusTotal. I reported 3 of them to GitHub, but they only removed 2 of them immediately. Checking now, and the 3rd was finally removed, but it was left up for a while. Seems like searching for blender doesn't show me any ads until I scroll down for a while, so maybe they're temporarily fixing the issue by just not showing ads for blender? shrug

I wonder how common it is for people taking SSRI medications to drink ayahuasca, unaware that SSRIs and MAOIs are a bad combo.

If I search for "walmart 24 hours", I get a list of closed bakeries.

Another problem with AA is you don't know who is there voluntarily trying to get better, and who is there because they're a physically abusive alcoholic that was court-ordered to be there.

There was also an uncomfortable amount of "thirteenth stepping" going on in my groups, where the single males running them ended up in relationships with women in the groups.
