@robmcd85 I know. My cat is 15 and a half and getting a bit tired. We lost another last year. So heartbreaking that their lives are so meaningful to us, yet so short.

[Dr. Martina Dove @curiousshrink]

@SutterCain84 @NataliaHEmanuel @nytimes And all of the above while having meetings via zoom with people in different locations.
That’s often the reality now.

But meaningful collaboration in office is wonderful.

When #scams happen to people, a lot goes on emotionally. #Scammers purposely keep people in an #emotional state to bypass rationality.

In this segment for @CBC I talk about what is happening during impersonation scams

@MakoThresher @CantEverDie Maybe 0, but her company's ATS has rejected plenty so she gets it 😉

@BradThundercocl @Suzierizzo1 I saw a guy who was bothering girls who wanted to just get on with their get together. Not a party where people mingle, it is a sit down meal. Imagine some random person coming up to your table in a restaurant when you sit down for a meal with friends.

[Dr. Martina Dove @curiousshrink]

@ExpletiveGG @Suzierizzo1 This video also wouldn't exist if he approached women his age. He took a risk, didn't pay off... for obvious reasons. I bet he would not want some guy his age doing that to his daughter either.

[Dr. Martina Dove @curiousshrink]

@MarkGoodge @eBay Yep having the same issue.

Would you be able to notice more subliminal #urgency signals that #scammers put in #phishing emails?

These #scam techniques can greatly influence our #behavior and #compliance without us being completely aware of this #influence.

Is anyone as miserably disappointed with #iOS26 as me? It’s an abomination which makes things so hard to look at, even with transparency turned off. And what’s with the gradients on everything. Why @Apple why??? 😭

[Dr. Martina Dove @curiousshrink]

Siri used to be so good but now it feels like she’s just resting and vesting 😒

Please improve it @Apple - it’s getting to be unusable. I think it’s also inserting words from my other contexts. How can you make something worse rather than better?

My flight was cancelled. I tweeted at the airline. This is where elaborate scam orchestration happened.

@British_Airways This is what I am getting. Not even a good AI assistant. Utterly miserable, seriously utterly miserable

[Dr. Martina Dove @curiousshrink]

@British_Airways you cancelled my return flight end of October, didn't notify me, I found out when checking if I can upgrade on the outbound flight. WTF, literally.
You can send useless emails but not tell customers about cancelled flights? What is going on? Also - refund?

[Dr. Martina Dove @curiousshrink]

@British_Airways I am getting your virtual assistant in the DMs. This is not customer service. I think I will just contact my credit card about the fact that you cancelled the flight and did not issue a refund. Miserable experience.

[Dr. Martina Dove @curiousshrink]

@ithinkwellHugh And then they say - maybe it's not worth studying because no one else has or there's no literature on this so how do you justify...
