Has anyone done this as part of a ‘presentation skills’ course? You record yourself giving your talk and then you play it back but sped up a little . Boy do those nervous ticks appear obvious at 2x. By the end you just want to scream out to yourself “stop touching your ear!”.

This was a requirement in a Speech course I took during community college. Each of my speeches was recorded while I gave it to the class. After each one, I had to watch the recording and write a short paper that analyzed the physical presentation that I gave including my ticks/mannerisms/etc. Edit: We each brought in our own VHS tape (this was 2010-2011) on presentation day and https://www.svcc.edu/employees/director…

VHS tapes in 2010-2011?????

Unless it's a black mirror twist. Next thing you're following some trolls orders to kill people to conceal your dark secret

yea, umm.... that wasn't regular porn he was watching

That's what I'm alluding to

Just watched this episode. I didn't take that "revelation" at the end to mean he actually did that. Saw it as just the final "lulz" move in the trolling. As an embellishment by the trolls, it would probably move any authority figures from a position of "let's figure out who got this dumb kid mixed up in these terrible things" to stony indifference and something closer to "serves him right." It also alienates him from…

You're saying he was just watching normal porn?

I remember specifically thinking "well, embarrassing sure, but everybody does it, oh well"

Why rob a bank just for some embarrassment?

I just got one with nearly the same wording. "I am aware [old password] is your passphrases. Lets get directly to point..." sent from 202.140.33.240 using the spoofed email address oo@r.com. The bitcoin address is different: 1ELzee2T9Wd5YPTYhWbWD3xK7xB5tJ94J4 Looks like the scam worked a couple times so far: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1ELzee2T9Wd5YPTYhWbWD...

Yep I got a different one too, 1GjZSJnpU4AfTS8vmre6rx7eQgeMUq8VYr

Interestingly this address has revived 3.5489BTC and transferred most of it to: 3NLSUFJxkkW26cZKTVLrcfBQhiN7eHBET3

The problem I personally have with KeePass is sharing and that you are on your own for many things. You CAN make mistakes with KeePass. You pretty much can’t make mistakes with a service. I’ve set about 100 people up on LastPass including my mom. I recommend it as a very good thing normal people will actually use.

why is sharing a problem? You can put your password database anywhere as long as your master password is good.

Email your mom right now with a secure password from your vault, and do it in a way that she won't have to call you about it.

That's why I recommend LastPass.

I don't think he would have if the older guy with more at stake hadn't been there to pressure/manipulate him into it.
