Sleeep

HOWEVER, there's a huge difference between a harmless prank and betraying someone's trust to be mean to them. I consider keylogging and pwning someone's machine deep into the in the "asshole" category. I also think that jerking someone's mouse when they are trying to click is not clever, just annoying, not funny. Especially because it could more effectively be done physically. It's in the same league as tripping someone when they walk by - just dick behavior.

A prank is something the pranked can laugh at, not just the pranker.

Since I was just leaning to explore my sexuality during that time and my IM messages and emails reflected that I'd be pretty horrified to know someone stole my password, pwned my machine, and read them. Like, seriously horrified and very violated.

Most gym membership are auto renewing fixed length contacts with hidden terms that are impossible to get out of early. Even if you want to cancel at the prescribed time they make you do things like come in in person to get the cancellation form and then you have to mail it certified mail rather than handing it to someone.

The author got permissions of the target.

1) Family gives you money.

2) Don't squander the money on hookers and blow.

3) Use life opportunities that having wealth brings to create more wealth.[1]

4) Congrats, you're a millionaire.

Anyone can do it!

[1] They say "you need money to make money" and speaking as someone who has both lived with no money and now lives with lots of money, it's sooooooo true. The more money you have the easier it is to acquire even more money.

"For security what's your pet's name?"

"I don't have a pet, I just put a bunch of random characters."

Due to implementation these questions are actually sometimes hard to answer truthfully sometimes. My fav teacher has a . in her name but "special characters" are not allowed in answers. My pet's name is 4 characters, too short. How did I answer my first car? Year, make, model? Make? Year and model? Just model? Who can remember?

>One of my favorite low key social engineering hacks is that I used to have a keylogger installed on every machine I own. Whenever a friend needs to hop on my machine to show me something, they'd log into an account they own and I would have their password.

This isn't a "low key social engineering hack", it's betraying someone's trust.

>I would sit next to them and subtly jerk the mouse pointer right before they were about to click on something and it drove them mad for a good 20 minutes before I couldn't hold onto the giggles anymore.

This isn't actually funny, it's just being obnoxious and mean.

If you're next to them why not just jerk their arm when they are trying to click? It achieves the same "goal" of "entertaining" yourself and pissing the other person off. Jerk their laptop when you walk by. Throw stuff at them. Smack them in the head. Trip them when they get up to pee. "Hilarious."

>among a group of friends where everyone was trying to hack everyone else and pretty much anything was considered fair game.

This sounds like the bully saying "we were all having fun together."

You don't know the difference between having fun with someone and having fun at their expense - and that's just disturbing.

As someone who lived during the Windows 98 era, I wouldn't want others reading my IMs and emails (I had some very sexual and personal communication over those channels) or viewing my browsing habits.

I'm married now but the most passionate sex I ever had in my life was a one night stand with someone I only knew in passing and haven't seen since.

My search results were what I'd expect:

Read the comment you are replying to, it does not say that and it does not imply that.

Bigger marketplace/choices

Convenience - I don't have to wait until the store opens. I don't have to drive around to 10 different stores for 10 different products

Not everyone has has easy access to the stores they need to go to

Price

Time - I can order a pan while waiting for a client to arrive or commuting on the train.

(There's disadvantages too, of course.)

(Was this shipped from India by any chance? Mine was.)

If your supplier raises prices you can become unprofitable, if your distributor changes policies you can become unprofitable, if FedEx raises prices you can become unprofitable, if price of gas goes up you can become unprofitable, if your rent goes up you can become unprofitable, if taxes go up you can become unprofitable, if laws change you can become unprofitable, even if a local employer closes you can become unprofitable, if a competitor comes in and undercuts you you can become unprofitable, etc.

It's not fair to criticize a small business for not building up, from scratch, the infrastructure and customer base that Amazon has. Especially when many of these small businesses wouldn't even be feasible without Amazon's infrastructure.

[1] I don't know about FedEx or UPS but probably against their TOS.

[2] This is also eBay's policy as well - http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/money-back-guarantee.htm...

>If a buyer suspects that an item is counterfeit, and there are strong indicators that the item is counterfeit, we don't require the buyer to return the item to the seller. The buyer agrees to cooperate with us to ensure the proper disposal of the item. In such instances, we refund the buyer for the full cost of the item and original shipping, and the seller reimburses us for the refund. The buyer may not sell the item on eBay or elsewhere.

Maybe the buyer has to have "Prime" though?

Some examples from my life:

I've bought a book from eBay that was advertised as the wrong edition. When I complained (I wanted a specific edition and I made sure the listing was for the edition I wanted) the seller told me to just donate the book and gave me my money back. It was a cheap used book, it would probably have cost more to ship it back than the seller would have gotten reselling it.

I ordered cat litter from jet.com. Cat litter was crushed and broke open during shipping and spilled everywhere. I took a picture and asked for my money back. They didn't ask me to ship the litter back even though about 60-70% of the litter was usable (and I used it). It would have been a mess to ship back litter like that plus expenses.

Edit: just thought of a third example. My parents ordered an armoire from Wayfair that must have been dropped badly in shipping, the side was extremely bowed out. The thing was like 5 feet tall and really heavy, it was solid oak. They just shipped them a new one because a return of such a big item would have been totally infeasible without sending a truck or special courier service. Some rando on Craigslist was really happy to come pick it up so he could fix it.

Also RE: "much less appealing," should have specified "much less appealing to a prospective tenant than a washer/dryer combo thus wouldn't command higher rent thus isn't worth a landlord's time and money even if space is available right next to the sink for a cheap install." Line drying is much more common in other parts of the world.

We probably should floss because it's probably helpful, even if the evidence is weak, it has a plausible mechanism of action, it's low cost, low risk, and teeth feel good after a proper flossing.

A big issue is many people have poor flossing technique though, which is (probably) not great for gums and may actually cause problems. Flossing shouldn't hurt and you should talk to your dental hygienist about proper (recommended) technique. Also have him or her actually floss your teeth if they don't already during a cleaning (mine does) so you can get a feel of what the recommended technique feels like. Also try different types of floss. My hygienist can floss me just fine with the "normal" type floss but I can't replicate that for some reason, I need to use the "glide" type floss.
