There's a big 'It's illegal to use a legal name' poster still up on a billboard where I live. I kind of like it, it's so odd.

Depressio111117 posted:My favorite thing is scammers getting mad that you won’t let them scam you. I remember one of the guys in those Lenny videos starts saying “gently caress you” after about twenty seconds. I had one of those 'I'm from Microsoft' callers call me back THREE TIMES after I gave him my usual response of 'Ugh no you're not, go away'. He was really annoyed with me and all I was doing was telling him to leave me alone.

I've had tradespeople get really lovely when I ask for ID. It's a loving pharmacy guy, I'm not going to let just anyone stroll on back here.

FrozenVent posted:The movie has a musical number titled “Springtime for Hitler”, just fyi. And a scene where the two main characters, both Jewish, tear off the Nazi armbands they'd been wearing and spit on them.

I assume it's the usual thing where they're filtering out skeptical and careful people because they don't want to deal with those people.

I had a collection of the penis pill spams I was inundated with for a while a couple of years ago but I lost it in a glitch. My favourite was 'little blue pills to help you squeeze her dry!'

It's probably the same thing as usual where if you're savvy enough to recognise a dodgy link, the scam is not aimed at you. It selects out people who know about domain names and link checking.

Cage Kicker posted:Yes, because no matter how obvious a scam it is, people are absolved of personal responsibility for making good decisions because ?????? What's fun about this is that most people who think 'only idiots would fall for such a scam' believe they themselves are too smart/knowledgeable to fall for a scam.

D34THROW posted:So what's the scam? Change the hyperlink text to a legit URL while the actual URL for the hyperlink is the phishing site, counting on people not to hover over the link to verify its veracity? Yeah. Most people won't think to do that.

The Lone Badger posted:Do your taxis companies really not have apps? (and phone dispatch prior to that) I'm in England and my local taxi company has always been great. Except last time I needed them where I booked through their app, and they sent an unmarked third-party private car who refused to take my card and drove me to a cash machine so I could get him cash out. It was extremely scary as a woman travelling alone and I will not be using them any more.

At least in London the buses are frequent and decently modern and take you anywhere you need to go. The Tube is probably better for most people but I have weird acrophobia issues with the escalators and I get buses for free because of my eyes being lovely, so I ride London buses all the time. It's pretty great.

Absurd Alhazred posted:Case in point, as I watch a stream with ads: literally advertising prescription medicine to the general public. This is illegal in the UK and thank gently caress for that. I notice that Americans in particular tend to call drugs by their brand name, whereas over here everyone refers to drugs by their generic name.
