In a case like that, sounds like your father needs some form of security/media literacy training since he likely installed some malware or otherwise enabled remote access to his system.

That there are hot singles in my area that want to meet me

That's a real thing though. I have a buddy who's my age, mid 40s. He uses some app and hooks up with all sorts of single mothers like a few every week. Some of them are pretty hot.

personally, Im married and id absolutely never entertain a single mother but my buddy sure has a good time with it. he even said the majority of the women want absolutely nothing to do with him afterwords, they just thank him and leave. He did say though that a lot of them have ozempic vagina.

When I was in college, I once listened to a girl give all of her information, credit card, etcetera to someone over the phone because she had "won a cruise." She had to be on the phone for at least an hour. I was sure it was a scam but never heard anything of it afterwards.

My dumb ass got gotten with some shite like that when I was in college. I put my name in every damned "free drawing" box there was at the local hunting/fishing expo. Call came in saying i won it from the expo but they just needed a CC # for incidentals or something. I came to shortly after hanging up and called the credit card company to dispute. People called me for YEARS after trying to get me back into it.

The entire Israel and military industrial complex driven "war on terror". $8+ TRILLION and counting, thousands of American lives, allegedly over a million non-american lives, the patriot act and race towards a total surveillance state. To replace Al Qaeda with Al Qaeda and dump refuges into Europe and America. But we need to attack Iran..

It will be different this time

This is a joke if you can’t tell… although I would almost be in favor of dropping a boat load of small arms off to the people in Iran and letting them sorting it out

I pay $627 every two weeks (that's after my employer kicks in) for my young, healthy wife and I to have health insurance. An ER visit that consisted of not much more than a urine test, blood work, an ultrasound, and several hours of waiting still cost us almost $4500 out of pocket. When I tried to negotiate with the hospital for paying in full they told me it was already "discounted" from over $12,000 because of my insurance.

Hospitals and health insurance are the best real life scams I've ever seen.

Kidney stones are horrible arent they?

Anything our politicians are telling us…everyday.

Reminds me of the old joke, how can you tell when a politician is lying? When they open their mouth and start talking.
