Wonderful

Seriously I fucking love these guys

This is not YYH related, but I just felt like you guys need to be aware.
I received a call today from a blocked number, who claimed they were from Windows Security Center. The person on the phone - who had a very heavy accent - said that they had noticed that my computer had been downloading malicious content while I was browsing the internet (which how could they even fucking know in the first place). He then asked me to turn on my computer (which it already was, but that’s besides the point) and told me to click and hold the Windows key and the ‘R; key, which opens up the Run window. He then wanted me to enter the following: eventvwr (this stands for “event viewer” which lets you see info about hard/software, system problems, and security on your OS).
This is where I hung up.
Because, you see, what this asshole didn’t know is that my dad is and IT guy, so I know a few tricks. What he was trying to do was gain remote access to my computer, but do I look like a bitch? Don’t answer that.
Unfortunately, some people are - that’s why I’m making this post, so you don’t end up being anybody’s bitch. And it’s not like these assholes just sprang up yesterday; according to my extensive Google research (it wasn’t that extensive, I just like being dramatic) they’ve been around at least since 2009.
If you want to know what they sound like, click here for a YouTube video of an actual phone conversation between some dude and a would-be hacker (there is profanity).
Microsoft has confirmed that they are a hacker group, and have some preventative tips, though really - it’s 2013, y’all should already know. If you have been scammed or know someone who’s been scammed by these douche bags, click here or here.
Signal boost, or don’t. Don’t let me run your life; I just felt you should be aware.

can we just take a moment to imagine little cute six-year-old hermione reading matilda

and peering into this book about a smart, bookish girl who could move things with her mind

and then can you imagine her concentrating very hard on the books on the bookshelf and slowly, slowly, getting them to move

OH MY GOD

YES.

MOM HANDED ME A BIG ENVELOPE SAYING I GOT IT IN THE MAIL AND BEING A SMART ASS I SAID ‘WHAT IS IT FROM THE PRESIDENT’ AND IT’S FROM THE FUCKING WHITE HOUSE

APPARENTLY THEY SENT THIS BACK BECAUSE I WAS A SHIT AND INVITED THEM TO MY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION

ok, that’s kind of hilarious. I question the use of tax dollars, but it’s still kind of hilarious.

This is a thing that the White House does, and has done for a while. I could have sent a wedding invitation to the WH when I got married and gotten back a response, but, well.

Shrub.

Before the Automobile: 1780's stays

The work and sheer precision in this set of stays is just jawdropping. It’s truly beautiful work. And yes, those lovely, regular stitches are all done by hand.

Not even my period of reproduction. Don’t even care.

What were you doing when you got the call that you were gonna be Superman? (x)

Fuck you, Leno, women play WoW, too.

Yup. My main’s an 85 BElf ‘lock. Imp’s for instances, blueberry’s for grinding, fuck what ya heard.

(That said, I stopped playing WoW because at 85, every damn day’s a grind, even with a new storyline.Your stories aren’t that awesome, either, when I get an earful of misogynist shit in tells and tradechat and the assholes aren’t airlocked even with Elephant text files and offers to send screenshots. Dudebros protect their own after all.)
