Whew! I was worried for a moment, but if they’ve promised, then I can relax.

It worked so well for the news media, I am sure the banks are just lining up.

So I was going to share your link on FB but even when I indicated that I don’t want your image of mouth-faced Zuckerberg on it I still get it. No idea if that is a setting on your end but guess what- no share for you…

Wow. If my bank even hints at entertaining this batshit crazy idea I’m switching to another bank.

I don’t want social media to even know my bank name, never mind any data.

I just got a phishing email for the correct bank (1/5 chance guess in Canada), but I never open anything like that directly. Encoded in base64, then a script to unpack their payload. I might unpack the script to see which website it was going to contact.

Don’t worry, guys, I’m sure they have their sincere apology typed up and ready to go for that unforeseeable event.

Honestly i think the post needs more eye/mouth photoshopping. Someone get Rob on the case and eldritch horror the shit out of this.

Does anyone have any experience with merino wool socks holding money as well as cotton socks ? I like to ready my mattress for winter.
