Yeah, I’m not saying using work email is the greatest solution ever, I’m with you on the burner phone that never comes home. I’m saying for these dumbasses... it probably was their best bet. Cause really, they would have gotten away with it had it not been for this hack. None of the stuff people are saying about…

Count government, we signed the same documents, nobody cared about email usage. No one is checking not because they can’t, but because they don’t care. Websites were the only thing you could get dinged on. Going to the AM website might have gotten you talked to if it was added to the “no no” list, but just using your…

Not completely open, there are rules. You have to be specific in what you want. You also can completely black out the offending emails if it ever got to that point. Even the records I did have to reveal had plenty that was redacted. Of course... I never had a FOIA request to “find out if my husband/wife is cheating on…

Oh, non-work email was something that was flagged instantly at my prior government employment and immediately shut down due to security concerns. My work email was checked by me and me alone in 9 years working there. IT might have snooped, but they were too busy running around dealing with other shit to bother I’d…

On your home computer? Where you could leave it logged in accidentally? Where your husband/wife could stumble upon it any number of ways? Or your work computer, where no one is checking and your spouse will never suspect. Heck, you could even have it open at home and if he/she walks by the microsoft outlook doesn’t…

What’s the one account your spouse doesn’t have access to, can’t ask for access to and that you can use for a good 8 hour stretch all day without them ever suspecting a thing...

Yep not quite as dumb as it sounds. Plus, you might be legally unable to give your wife/husband your work email password if they ever did get suspicious. You also have all day to fuck around on email at work and talk to the person you’re having an affair with. Sure, IT might read your emails... but when you are one of…

The old 5 minute excuse! Saw it all the time in Child Protective Services. Nevermind we have security footage of you in the store for 30...

Stay at home dad currently to 2... greatest thing I’ve ever done and a complete joy. I’m also quite aware of how this time is just a blip in my life, never to be repeated. Maybe its why I’m so mellow about it and lack any stress having such a large perspective. Helps me enjoy even the tantrums. 3 years have gone by in…

I don’t carry a backpack or a math book around with me anymore now that I’m an adult... my skills to hide my boners have become useless! USELESS!!!

I’m 39 and my dad (now 64) was a big gamer. Pong in the arcades, and he had Colecovision and the first Atari, etc. Guess he “didn’t grow up” with them, but the second they arrived he was in love in his earlyish 20s. He currently still plays, though mainly computer war games. (Total addict to Medieval Total War II)

They made a talking raccoon work... just go with crazy martial arts magic, Marvel!

In my time in CPS I’ve dealt with Amish drug addicts and Amish sex offenders. So yep, plausible to me. Not like its rampant, but there are always those outliers in any community.

We had a couple 8 lb “Preemies” in my extended family back in the day :D

I used to work in Child Protective Services. All the women did that, because when dealing with drug addicts, child molesters and gang involved people it was a nice additional level of security for them. The crazies could try and find the person professionally known as “Jane Smith” all they want, but the persons legal…

Although really, you never know. My wife and I are under no illusions that someday, something could happen. Both of our sets of parents are divorced, after decades of marriage and we know they were just as much in love as we are now. We had a close personal friend who had to get a divorce because her husband hit his…

Our babies got my last name, because I’m the one who does all the Doctor’s appointments, school registering, etc. Figured if there would ever be a problem, it’d be dealing with crap like that. In return, my wife got to pick the first name with no veto from me. Really could have gone either way though, neither of us…

I want a game like the Total War series on a table like that....

Yep, in my state we are REQUIRED to spend a year working with the parents to return their children to them. THEN it can get muddled up in court for even longer if the parents think they should still have their kids. I’ve seen children who were raised from birth to around 3ish returned to biological parents... its…

You always have a warning with the Kraken though, just listen for someone shouting, “RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!” If you hear that... get out of the water, fast!!
