Family in Buffalo genuinely just asked me if I would rather go to “Adolf’s” or “Nine Eleven” for lunch and they were being completely sincere

It's not like I like you or anything! P-Pendejo!

I am a glorified office administrator who understands server hardware why am I the only person in this company who gets what social engineering is?

[ms-demeanor]

Total stranger on the phone who we’ve never spoken to before: I have power of attorney over the CEO of this corporation and we are a customer of yours. Please change the administrator password on the server to XXXXX

My boss, putting on white grease paint and a red wig: Oh, of course! Let’s do it quickly so that you’ll want to keep working with us since you’re going to be making business decisions!

Me: I would sell you to satan for one corn chip and I’m allergic to corn but before you do this maybe you should call someone who is actually on our contact list for our customer and see if they’ve ever heard of this stranger.

My boss, looking through a selection of shoes that honk when you walk: Oh, but she said that it was very important that none of the employees know what was happening because they’re making staffing changes.

Me: As your lawyer I recommend that you just call a single one of our contacts and see if they’ve ever heard of her name.

My boss, shoving all of our technicians into a VW beetle: You’re not my lawyer.

Me: HOW THE FUCK WOULD YOU KNOW? I COULD BE! YOU SHOULD MAYBE CHECK ON THAT.

TIL everyone’s employee ID at my company is the last five of their SSN.

Boss: On the bright side, it’s only the last five

Me: YOU CAN COMMIT FRAUD WITH FOUR

Security firms that are hired to check the security of banks will often use the following tactic: They will walk up to the teller in a suit with their ID badge and a clipboard and go:

“Hello I am [name] from [security firm] we’ve been hired to verify the security of the facility I need to see your computers.”

“Erm…I’ll have to verify that with my managers.”

“Congratulations, you have just passed the security verification.” [Scribbles on clipboard] “But in all seriousness I do need to verify your security so I need to see your computers.”

“Oh okay.” AND LETS THEM IN.

“Social engineering” is a way too fancy word for what it is. I know a guy (not personally) who broke several people out of prison by essentially writing “Greetings, please release this person, signed, whoever the judge is” on a piece of paper and faxing it there. Because no one would have a fax machine in their own house I guess.

not to derail, but holy shit that praxis

I’ve had clerks just give out a whole ass SSN when I asked.

remember that time dean winchester "this isn't youuu babe come back to meee" cringe rom com-ed his way past heaven's mind control when the love of his life was beating him to a pulp and cas was all like oh yeah this ain't me everything I do is for you and it was, like, super gay? no just me?

[lazarrusrising]

Dean asks Cas if he would still love him if he was a worm and Cas very affectionately says "you're basically a worm to me already" and then doesn't understand why Dean's upset because Cas would love any version of Dean, any shape or size or iteration because it's Dean and Dean is like "don't mind me, worm coming through"

I know Tumblr is full of posts about the virtues of commenting on AO3 fics and such. But like. It works.

I just knocked out 8.5k words in one single day for a chapter update because of one reader leaving one of the most absurdly endearing comments I’ve ever gotten. That is unheard of levels of productivity for me.

The power of the fandom. The power of the comment.

[rachelteazer]

This is very true. The power of commenting 🙌

But also. I got a LOT of comments on my most recent fic, most of them from people whose work I love and have (enthusiastically!) commented on myself. I can’t confirm it, but I think some of them left a comment for me because I left a comment for them.

That was never my intention as an avid commenter (I started reading/commenting way before I started writing), and I certainly don’t want anyone to think it’s tit for tat. But I think it’s a cool bonus!

Spy x Family au where Anya reveals hers and Loid’s indentity to Yor first, as well as the fact that Anya knows she’s an assassin. After the initial freak out, Yor decides she loves and accepts her family anyway but also thinks they should come clean to Loid so the rest of the family isn’t keeping secrets from him. Anya warns that being very familiar with his psyche, if they flat out tell Loid all this information he may spiral into thinking he’s a bad spy for not noticing. So for the next few months the whole rest of the family is just trying to leave clues to their real identities around the house so Loid can feel like he “figured it out” on his own. Yor “accidentally” leaves her bedroom door open with a suspicious looking weapon on the nightstand. Anya keeps bringing up facts about Loid that he’s *certain* he never told her before. Eventually he realizes something strange is absolutely going on but continues to deny it because deep down he loves his family and is willing to look the other way to keep it together. This continues for two whole months until eventually Yor realizes they have no choice and they all just hold an intervention for Loid one night.

“honey, your wife is an assassin, your daughter’s a telepath, your dog is a seer, and we all know you’re a spy. And you may want to look into retiring.”
