What's New....?

Look, I don’t use Discord, but that message is riddled with grammatical errors and I would not trust it as coming from a reputable source for an instant.

That’s the kind of message where it looks vaguely legit, you click on something, and then malware or spyware is installed on your device.

Damn. For me what sended me off was also asking me off to contact the account mentioned there. Like, for what?

I wanted to add, the person who sended me this I talked with them months ago. Chill fella. What I think is his account got hijacked, since has been happenning for a while and got similar situations with 2 previous contacts too.

That is 100 percent a scam.

(you have to appreciate the "it’s totally for handling classified information, see we even quote the US code, please remember Jack Teixeira, but not too much because it’s not the right one, we misnamed an article as a section, and hey look at that you have a way out of this pressure, but careful it closes in 24 hours for some reason, what do you mean by that’s the literal opposite of how the burden of proof works, also where is the first hand of the on the other hand, what do you mean that is not how this kind of things are written, we are absolutely not using English-as-second-language rhetorical device taught in high-school ")

Yeah, again, I don’t use Discord, but the way this is written absolutely screams “person’s account got hijacked”.

For non-native English speakers, the signs might be harder to notice. As I read the message though, multiple errors stick out.

The simple fact there’s nothing in my feed nor anything in both of my emails, is what gave me the red flags. I sended screenshots to Discord support.

For some context. if you want to have a bit of a laugh:

I think they want you to believe you are somehow suspected of having posted some classified documents like you might have heard of happening. As if you were a warthunder fan posting your favourite system technical manual, or some random report. Or former US President Donald Trump. But that’s 793. Which happens to have a bit of a less directly understandable title.

They used 798. Which is disclosing things specifically about communication intelligence, and cryptography. But does happen to have a more catchy title.
To be clear, if you were suspected of that you would not be warned and sent a second hand badly written discord mail. (same for 793, but somehow even more here)

That, or you are former US contractor Edward Snowden.

Yea, very rare outside the public sector.

Aerolines are a union stronghold on the private side. Usually it takes about 2-3 years to get a contract. I’m hoping it’s done soon and I’d love not only a super solid deal but perhaps a signing bonus too (-;

Oof, yeah, I’ve been in a few discord communities that have warned against this. It’s a scam, don’t click any of their links.

Someone you know must have had their account hacked.
They’re definitelt trying to scare you with an eloquently-worded “”“Support”“” letter, but it’s all fake and I really can’t understand what it’s trying to tell you.
(You very vaguely have some “comprehensive report” of people on your friends list, as if you were some double-agent for the government?? :laughing:)

Huge red flags with spelling and grammar, also inconsistent capitalisation. Companies like Discord don’t make these mistakes.

The ‘scammiest’ message I’ve seen in a while.

24 hours have passed and I still have my account all fine and dandy on Discord.

Yesterday I also updated my passwords just in case plus double checked in keeping the 2 step authentication on.

Indeed, a shameless scam using a stolen profile.

This one makes me laugh (because it’s an insane game)
Based on what I’ve seen in this video, the game would be better suited with the title “Shoot-icide Squad”

Gameplay really is different flavours of shooting and more shooting, with a bonkers story involving many short-statured side-characters, boatloads of “when the plot demands it”, unnecessary links to the Arkham series and general C-tier writing…
Some of the cutscenes look fun but gosh, this is how far WB dragged Rocksteady down for…

Also yeah, the circumstances surrounding Batman’s (and basically every JL member) in this game are pretty disappointing.
For Bats specifically, they essentially have two boss fights with him – one Arkham-predator themed, one Scarecrow-themed, then after that they have Batman captured and strapped to a chair for a long while, until they decide to drag him out into a park to shoot him in a cutscene.
Like… they couldn’t at least have had a third boss fight to have some culminating action moment for them to defeat Batman for real, instead of a long-drawn-out capture and eventual death scene just shoved in there?

Neither DC or Marvel truly seem to realise their “Convicts-to-heroes” teams need a healthy diversity of powers to be at their best. They also don’t understand that sometimes they don’t need to fight Avengers/JL level threats.

The sad thing is if this was 10 or 15 years ago we might have gotten this. The truth to the matter is it’s easier to streamline and consolidate gameplay and in the case of Suicide Squad it would rather be a looter shooter with a choice of what DC Baddie you wanna be with the differences between characters boiling down to movement and a few skills. Outside of that it’s just Shooter Bro Grunt with a condiment king skin using a mustard launcher to get across the map.

I decided I would play some ET arcades I hadn’t yet. The neon ninja suit is a bit ridiculous. I don’t think I’ll be using that ever again.

I actually think brand synergy was more of a factor, if they wanted to do a looter-shooter then that is fine but there are other teams they own they could have used instead but instead they used the team that had even the faintest whiff of mainstream popularity then used the most prominent characters from the most contemporary line-ups.

Rare image of Flamingo chest spotted! :eyes:

also ahem this would do numbers on furry twitter

Also I now dub this shelf “my sitting bois”. (Flamingo is hard to sit with his legs straight out, his feet are so thicc it makes it look weird. But he can dangle off a ledge ok!


Also also, this reminds me, I wanted to get a Kirby amiibo in the recent Nintendo re-stock, but it was the Smash Bros version which is basically in the same pose as the plushy I already have.
Hopefully I can snag the Kirby Series version sometime since it’s a cool Kirby riding a warp star.

Also speaking of, I should really update my profile pic sometime soon.
I think I’ll join in with @Codename-24 and make it some sort of Kirby-Nomf! Kind of thing.
Because I love that pink dude and I’d let him nomf my head. :joy: may the lord save my context

I can’t get this out of my mind though. The old theme is as memorable as the singing. Hey nice collection!

I am so angry right now and let me say this, it takes A LOT to make me angry!

But I don’t have warm water for two weeks now because the heater is broken. For one week a new heater is standing in my kitchen but only today was the appointment for the craftsmen to install it. I took a day off, had to quit all appointments from my clients and guess what?

They quit the appointment just this morning!

Are they kidding me?!

I am a therapist for children and teens with autism, I can’t take days off as I like and spontaneously. And I don’t have an infinite number of holidays I can spend whenever I want. I just wasted a day off and had to put off all my clients for nothing! And showering cold is really getting unbearable!

Aaaargh!!!

I want to break something!

Good news on my end, I did a health check up on Wednesday, did an X-Ray and a blood test. Most of the fluid has left my lung, and as such, my course of anti-biotics will finish on Wednesday without needing to be continued. Will receive another health check up in a month’s time, but hopefully, this is the end of this pneumonia issue, 3 and a half months after this started.

I went back to work nearly 3 weeks ago now, I do still get tired easily but I feel like I’m getting 5%-10% each week, slowly having more energy back. I’m hoping being off the anti-biotics will increase my energy as well. I’m hoping at this rate to be more or less back to normal by April.

It also means I plan to book my holiday to go down to Norwich in England to see some family in May, maybe stop over on Nottingham on the way there and Lincoln or York on the way back. I’ve spent so much time cooked up in the house that I really want to do something nice for myself, and once Spring arrives, I really want to try and get out more. The pneumonia caused me to lose around 25 pounds, so would be nice to stay at my weight and start hitting the gym again eventually.

I think one of the drawbacks with my second job is having teenagers that haven’t fully grasped the idea of getting along really well with individuals without being romantically involved.

So for perspective back in November I decided to get a second job. The primary reason is just to bring in some extra cash alongside keeping myself busy during the off season with my main job, fortunately I know someone who was in need of help and structure for their franchise so i willingly took the job. The job is very easy, I’m basically making bread for a living and on top of the hours I work with my main job I’m bringing in roughly an extra $2500 per month depending on if tips are good.

The people I’ve worked with these past few months have been great outside of a few bad apples. I get along with some more than others and these last two months I’ve been getting along really well with one of our trainees who is slated to be the shift lead at one of our new locations opening later this month.

It’s just a very simple dynamic that became a friendship that was built upon by shared interests and just sharing music, but people have interpreted it as us pursing more. Unfortunately for them she has a girlfriend and I’ve went on record publicly how I’m just not equipped to handle a relationship after this past year so I’m just focusing on myself and being an uncle to my niece.

This post is stupid, but it’s just been on my mind the last few days. Probably because of a workplace rumor that is blatantly not true, but other than that I’m just showing up for the hours I’m asked to come in and I just go home.
