whenever someone calls me and says they're from my bank or car loan company or whatever and asks me security questions, I always tell them "excuse me, you called me, how can you prove who you are" and every single time they act like it's the first time anyone's ever asked that, which absolutely boggles my mind. for the love of fuck please do not answer "security questions" when you didn't initiate the call, at least without making them answer a few first

Never give them your info!

kedreeva

I agree, never give your info in a call you didn't initiate. Phone numbers can be spoofed. They may actually sound like your bank or credit card company.

If you receive a call, hang up and call back using the phone number on their website. Explain that you received a call about X and if it's legit, they'll be able to tell you so. They're also not usually going to get mad if you say "I'm going to hang up and call you back." Scams will though. Because you won't be calling THEM back, you'll be alerting the bank someone is committing fraud in their name. So they'll get urgent about it. Ignore them and hang up. Call back on an actual line.

I once got a security call from my bank

Without saying a word, I hung up, looked up my bank's number and rang them

It was them, they had actually called me, there were no scammers involved

They're weren't upset in the slightest

You will not get in trouble for being careful 👍

Taking all the time in the world on this background because Ms C deserves better than what my brain is currently capable of producing. I don’t understand color theory. I don’t understand values. iI don't understand drawing. ...and I'm not bothered. The abyss stares back and it’s giving further background editing tips (forever redrawing still beats doom-scrolling though)

Here's some of the backgrounds styles I have tried, without revealing too much 🙉🙈🙊

brooding men who cannot communicate their feelings if their life depended on it are only hot when they're fictional. if i have to deal with one in real life i will curse him and pray for his downfall every night before i go to bed

kestrel-tree

It's because the writer communicates their feelings for them. If people wanna pull that off in real life they need to hire a guy to walk around behind them narrating.

#can i be the guy#ill narrate SO incorrectly#theyll all learn how to talk for themselves just to shut me up (via @cirrus-grey)

i'm loving the implication that this isn't something they hired you for, but something you'd do as some sort of public service.

How do you think the people who raised you* would react if you pirated media and they found out?

They’d get me in trouble to teach me a lesson (or otherwise punish me)

They’d be upset or try to persuade me to stop

They wouldn’t care (in the “…okay?…well I don’t want to know about it” way)

They wouldn’t care (in the comfortably neutral/casual way)

They’d be pleased / they’d participate too / it was their idea!

I wish I were a jellyfish can we please just turn me into a jellyfish

*people who raised you : this poll can can be about the approximate average stances of all the people who raised you, the end result of their opinions and dynamics interacting with each other on this issue, or the stance of the caretaker you know the opinions of best or spent the most time with. Your call!

Please reblog for sample size, and please be careful against sharing too much personal information in the tags!

i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.

it effects everything.

being trans is easier when youre white.

being gay is easier when youre white.

being disabled is easier when youre white.

being a woman is easier when youre white.

being autistic is easier when youre white.

oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.

you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.

never forget this.

three things:

1. it’s true

2. white people get pissed when i bring this up/wear this shirt

3. the comments to this thread melted my fucking eyeballs seriously why the fuck are y’all like this

every day i walk into work and my manager says “here is the rule you must enforce” and i go “got it bossman” and i spend a couple days enforcing the rule and then my manager comes up to me and says “why are you enforcing the rule? we changed the rule yesterday and didn’t tell you” and i go “ok bossman new rule it is” and then a customer comes in asking to break the new rule and i say “sorry you can’t it’s the rule” and they say “but you don’t understand the rule doesn’t apply to me” and then my manager comes out and says “they’re right the rule doesn’t apply to them” and i ask why and my manager says “it just doesn’t.” and then the next day we get rid of the rule entirely and no one remembered it existed in the first place.

anyway this sounds like a metaphor for neurodivergence or something but it’s not this is just my fucking life
