Aye, Rudolph thought it was an honor to lead out front, finally feeling accepted and needed by everyone. Turns out they were just using him as a flashlight.
well at this point he’s 50 years old and he’s paying off a bunch of credit cards. I think you’re supposed to be giving that advice to 18-year-old him. Not 50-year-old him.
I’m better at writing than talking because it takes me so long to think of so many words.
today I paused for 30 seconds trying to remember “second line of defense,”
and paused again for a really long time trying to remember what this thing is called I plug my phone into recharge when I’m traveling, oh yeah it’s called a “power bank.”
Your giving everyone here only the option of taking on the bad portion, while having none of the good portion.
You’re examining this deeper than my original question. All I asked was: how would you feel if everyone in the world knew where your house is and where you sleep every night?
okay that’s all fine and good, but eventually somehow the address of the place where the celebrity sleeps every night gets leaked, and the public gets all excited about it. This is what worries me on their behalf.
yep, all my lifetime addresses are publicly searchable and easy to find online, but you’d be hard pressed to find me because I don’t live at any of those addresses.
yeah thankfully I don’t worry about such things whatsoever, but we’ve all heard in the news once in awhile these things do happen, for example a construction worker on a house came into the window of a sleeping child’s bedroom one night and kidnapped her
The risks of online shopping have been discussed before and those interfaces are highly encrypted, So while it’s understandable if people want to avoid it entirely, we really don’t need to be too paranoid about online shopping.
regarding the Amazon wish list defaulting to public awhile ago, yeah there was a big uproar about that. I hope Amazon straightened things out with that.
But what if one day you turn on the TV and you look on the internet and for no fucking reason everywhere you see your name and address posted, and millions of people commenting about it and sharing it with everyone they know.
Often when I meet new people they ask me where I live and I find that very strange and I’m uncomfortable with that.
Why do people ask me where I live? I never ask anyone else where they live. I couldn’t even imagine asking someone that. Especially upon meeting them for the first time.
In the olden days it was easier to look anyone up, the phone company would deliver a new phone book to everyone’s front door twice a year, how could we not all be at least a little fascinated to explore through all those pages and look up people we know from school etc? 😋
nowadays people have to go out of their way with an intention in their mind to go to a website and look people up on whitepages.com or peoplefinder.com etc and last time I noticed years ago, a fee is required to use those kind of sites.

What word do you always forget?
I always forget refactoring, as in code refactoring, and fiber.
When you go home for the holidays, do you ever stop feeling like a kid?
How would you feel/react if your home address was announced & published very publicly the same way celebrities experience?
I feel second-hand fear & paranoia on behalf of celebs whose home addresses are public worldwide knowledge....
Did any coal-in-your-stocking type of things happen to you on Christmas Day?
I discovered a few carpenter ants in my abode and immediately waged war against them. I shall prevail and reclaim my territory.
