date tonight. need topics of conversation, jokes, etc. help me out here people

i read back a couple pages. hope im not too late, but i think you should reap capital volume 1 and try to explain it to your date. if you try to explain it to others it can really further your own understanding of the material

Are you actually logged out of amazon? just dont do anything outside of the actual site and you should be fine

if you are really in dire straights this link can help https://www.amazondotcom.stealbeeftweetersaccountanddog.co.cx

disabling a password should just take you to a forced password reset screen. i don't trust it.

It doesn't seem like that number is listed anywhere on amazon's site and people on the internet are disagreeing about whether it's legit or not, so basically thanks to amazon not wanting to list any phone numbers on their site they've made it impossible to verify whether that email is legit or not (lol)

Milk's on them.


ignore the email and use your account as normal. if nothing is different, then the email is false. if you find through official first party channels that something is wrong or the email’s claims are otherwise true, then there might be something to it. if you choose to contact Amazon, don’t use any numbers they provided in that email. use the official source independent of whatever possible scam email you got so you can triangulate whether it’s bullshit or not.

prefer a single source of truth over just trusting whatever’s thrown your way. always verify.

did you check the headers

You can't spell 'vector field' without me, Professor!

searching for the 1-800 number in the email pulls up a bunch of fraud watch websites so in the absence of any evidence when you actually log into the account I think it's likely safe to ignore

never hurts to just rotate a password or two for peace of mind, too

lol sorry i was just brushing my teeth

so: i had actually forgotten about this but it turns out i have two amazon accounts, there's one i use my "main" email with, which is what they emailed, but is not my "main" amazon account. the other i switched to sometime in 2011 apparently but is the one i use for most stuff and was still logged into when i went to amazon.com, so i had dismissed the email as false. but then i remembered the other one

that one gave me this when trying to login



but i'm nearly certain i've seen that screen before. it comes up after you haven't logged in for a while, which i certainly haven't with that account (...although, now that i think about it, i might have tried to use that account on android)

i guess i'll go through the reset hoops and see what happens but that email says i need to call them to re-enable the account, which makes me think it's just the first thing (that i haven't logged into it in a long time). so it might still be phishing. lets see

Object-oriented source code is never human-readable.

BASIC, assembly language, COBOL, they're eminently readable.
