I got notifications in the last two days that TiVo and ABE Books (or a third party company that works with ABE.) were hacked. I haven't bought anything via ABE in this century. Blargh.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Have you gotten more spam, Sue? I've gotten tons more recently. Fuckers. I went on a date once with a guy who announced he wrote spam software. How was it supposed to go any further? He's obviously the devil incarnate.

I got notices from a couple of companies in the last few days saying they've been hacked but I haven't noticed an uptick in spam.

Tivo got hacked? Yikes. What effect does that have on users, do we know? (I was away all weekend and haven't looked at my Tivo since I got home.)
I went on a date once with a guy who announced he wrote spam software.
I went on a date once with a guy who was all proud of having scammed his insurance company by claiming he was hit by a car and couldn't work, but I met him through a friend who met him mountain biking.
And he wore a gold chain, and I just couldn't deal.

I got the notice from Tivo - but I don't recall a notice from ABE and I just purchased books from them last week!

Email addresses and names have been leaked. No financial information is compromised, and no data is corrupted.

This guy looked like he was waiting to see how I'd react, which was fair. Except, me, I'd have lied about it. I mean, you already have no morals, why not lie on a first date? Maybe he didn't like me enough.

No, that doesn't sound like the man for you!
I got the TiVo email too...but my spam folder generally does a pretty good job. But I'm unclear if the TiVo hackage means that my credit card number was taken? (Edit: Thanks ita! Excellent)

Can't think of who he'd be the man for. Wait, yes I can. Probably a lot of Republican Congressmen would hit that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I dunno, my ass is pretty big (as is the rest of me) and JetBlue's seats were verrrra comfy. I think you can scratch that anxiety off your list.
Nora, thank you, that actually does relieve a lot of my anxiety.

Americans tend to have a missionary spirit to win other people over to their way of thinking and are likely to judge other societies in terms of the United States. Americans often think that other countries should use their example and adopt their ways of doing things. Other cultures are often evaluated as better or worse than this one rather than simply being seen as different. Americans tend to think that theirs is the best way to do things, in spite of many serious social and environmental problems in this country.
Yeah, I'd say this is spot on. IMO.

Yay! I helped! You've seen pictures of me, right? You know I am a lady of ample proportions?
