My mom got phished in an EXTREMELY refined scam that pretty much anyone could fall for-- basically her account was already pre-hacked and they spoofed the bank's number exactly, called her pretending there was fraud, and read back legitimate and fake transactions and personal info so she wouldn't suspect they weren't the bank. Then discouraged her from logging in claiming the account was locked so they could investigate the fraud-- all so she wouldnt catch them making massive purchases using her stolen info.

We have the same boss and when she told him what happened he recommended she call the bank directly, so she did and they managed to catch it in time before $20k of transactions went through. Very scary

I guess the lesson here is never ever answer your phone, I love that fraud is so rampant an entire form of mass communication is now useless

ANYONE can fall for phishing scams- my mom is extremely smart and we discuss common scams that target her age demographic and she still fell for this. If it happened to me I may have fallen for it too. Always be careful!

Your honour, I admit that I do have a superiority complex over not watching Disney "live action" remakes, but in my defense, I am right

Hey do y’all remember when Boeing fucking killed a guy last year. And we all said “huh I guess Boeing fucking killed a guy” and then went on with our lives. And everybody knew that Boeing had fully just fucking executed a guy and nothing came of it. Like there was no police investigation no justice no nothing. Like literally EVERYBODY knew that Boeing had full on murdered a guy to silence him and there wasn’t any consequences for them. Kinda crazy.

General PSA but be extremely wary of self-defence advice you see online, particularly stuff aimed towards women.

The only good thing here is the advice at the end where he says be as violent as possible.

The technique is dreadful. It should be obvious that we should not be encouraging women to go to the ground when defending against an attacker - who is in most cases a man.

This type of flashy ‘All women should know this one cool trick’ content puts you at risk.

Something we don’t really talk about enough, and I’ll probably write about more later, is Malleus’ kindness and how, even though at times it’s taken wrongly by others, it persists despite his past and what he went through. He is still kind in his own way and he tries to be.

Can you imagine being a little one and being “cursed” from such a young age? Can you imagine? Watching others receive the love and care you always wanted, and despite it all?? You still try to be kind?

Imagine having to hold your emotions in, practically numbing yourself from everything? Because to feel any emotions would harm others? Do you realize the strength it would take to do that? And still be kind?

To still have the…openness to try and get along with humans even when they tend to see you in an unfavorable light? To hope that someone treats you normally?

By all means, if you think of some of the experiences that he went through since he was a child, someone weaker would not be able to handle what he has.

He’s cursed with powers that he can’t handle by the senate who only want to use him and show their importance. The senate who probably have cursed generations of draconias most likely.

Malleus who had to be careful with the way he laughed or talked in fear of hurting someone accidentally.

He was able to see Lilia who came to visit him and at times sneak in to see him. The one person he can be himself with and even then he accidentally hurt him.

The Malleus, who people said was boring and arrogant, but we know now why he was don’t we? Because he had to be to control his powers.

But also Malleus, who snuck away to see Lilia, who took care of silver because it would make Lilia happy. But also, someone who grows to care for that little babe.

But can we also add on this? Malleus, who was “blessed” with these curses having to see Silver, who was “blessed” out of love. (The silver hair not the sleeping curse) and despite it all, he didn’t resent silver, he loved him. (He still loved him despite knowing the truth about who killed his mother)

Can you imagine the strength it takes to be this kind?? To continue to be this kind? And not let it foster to hate and anger?

In a way, Malleus reminds me of Lilia. His parallels with Lilia is never ending. Lilia, for everything he went through, had all the reason to grow to hate humanity but he changed through his journey.

Malleus, in a way, is also like this. He has all the reason to hate and have anger, but he doesn’t. He shows kindness repeatedly. Sometimes that kindness isn’t translated well, but despite it all, he is kind. He’s not someone who grew to hate and have anger in him. When he had all the more reason too than anyone else.

tfw the 'owner' of the body has to go into a 'deep sleep' because of extremely aggravating circumstances that they find themselves into, involving extreme emotional distress, so something else has to pilot the flesh ship instead:
