      Just discovered my mom-in-law has been going into her AOL spam folder and unsubscribing from emails there. Doing so involved clicking soooo many links in seriously dodgy emails. She was like, "why won't it let me unsubscribe?" Me screaming into my pillow.

      You were screaming because she still has an AOL acct, right?

      That, and bc nobody in my family pays the slightest attention to what I preach, and it just feels like talking to a wall most times.

          We’re on the same boat. My parents never paid attention to what I preach until they fell for a phishing email. To top it off, their personal email account is affiliated with a local cable/phone company that JUST upgraded from WEP to WPA2 this past Spring. You read that right.

          So even when you become well-established, your family won’t take interest? That’s not very comforting! 🤣

          Wow, just realized, I had a dream (nightmare) last night, that on my cell phone, I clicked a bad link, and then everything started flashing on my phone, then I frantically tried to power it off, but failed, and tore it apart to get the battery out. Sign of the times, I guess.
