A curmudgeon or do I just not give a fnck anymore 😈
It has been pishing with rain and blowing a hoolie most of the day and this put paid to my plans to go for a walk and a spot of fresh air.
maybe I will see you tomorrow!
One good thing is that there is heaps of footy on the box tonight, so I am flicking through games as I write this.
I was talking to someone this afternoon about hacking and being hacked, and scams and that sort of hoohaa.
This got me to thinking of all the scams we see on hive, and the poor unfortunate souls who have had their accounts hacked...
We were chatting away, and came to the conclusion that in the majority of cases they were not hacked at all. They gave their accounts away.
Unless you have been living on the moon, you really can't have failed to notice the advice of never click on links etc.
The old adage that if it seems to good to be true then it probably is, is never so more apt than it is for Hive or the web.
Click here and get x amount of Hive, that is greed that is making that link be clicked. If an account is taken over from doing that, then in my opinion it is not being hacked it is being give away.
As I told @atyourservice recently, we make our own luck!
So this also got me to thinking. I stopped giving a f.ck a long time ago, as I never really been bovvvered with what people think of me. (thanks @mypathtofire for putting Katherine Tate in my head 🤣)
Then I was reminded of a word my father-in-law would proudly describe himself as ...
It was so not true..
He would say he was a curmudgeon
He was a larger than life generally fun man.
For those of you that don't know what a curmudgeon is, then I defer to Dictionary
noun
a bad-tempered, difficult, cantankerous person.
Generally though, the accepted meaning includes old and man!
Vocabulary says
Old, cranky, and more than a little stubborn, a curmudgeon is the gruff, grey-haired neighbor who refuses to hand out candy at Halloween and shoos away holiday carolers with a "bah humbug!"
I looked at myself in the mirror and thought to myself...
Look at you, you cantankerous curmudgeon you!
To which the mirror responded...
Rangers have just scored so the happy charming rascal is back!
I will finish watching the game, but before I go, let me leave with the moral of this post of ramlings of the curmudgeon who just doesn't give a fnck!

Haste Ye Back!
This was hilarious 😂 I’m trying to picture you as a cantankerous curmudgeon but it’s not working, the smile in your display photo is getting in the way.
A female curmudgeon is called termagant. I did not Google that at all. Meanwhile, there is a whole guide on how to become a curmudgeon on wikihow 😂

Today, I was telling someone too that those who fall prey to scammers are mostly those who have refused to learn about their finances and are still living in the falsehood that they need a certain breakthrough (in the form of an investment opportunity) to double their money.
Even though such things happen, it's a one-time thing. And it takes someone who had gone through a series of training around money and investment to identify that jackpot.
Apart from that, just merely folding our hands and hoping for this breakthrough, only makes us liable to be scammed.
jeje you got it so check your wallet Iska🔥🤣
You so have grasped the situation perfectly, and they indeed refuse to learn.

New word of knowledge for me. You cantakerous curmudgeon! Haha! 😁
Scammers are getting smarter day by day. They will leave us at fault to what they did.
hehe I am glad you learnt something new kelzy and how are you getting on?
Scammers are getting smarter but also many us are getting greedier too!
Hello, my dear @tengolotodo I read your post and I refer to all the money they took from a colleague in the hive, it is likely to have clicked on a link of those that you paint as the crown jewel, and it turns out that it is to embezzle your account. I don't even touch anything I don't know and when I learn something strange I ask the experts in the field so as not to be foolish not to say the bad word hahahahahah.
The cover image is beautiful.
Greetings from my land of the beloved sun 💗
Hello to the land of the beloved sun!
Yes we must always research or ask people before we click on any links. We only have ourselves to blame if we click a link and out account gets embezzled.
Good morning.☮️
I am very careful not to stick my finger in the wrong place to avoid these thefts of the money in the account.
Greetings @tengolotodo
How sad it was when we know some people got scammed due to their own greed. Well, we cannot blame people when they see a good opportunity to earn more online. Unfortunately, little did they know, it is a scam and their money will never get back. !PIZZA
We all need to research though. If we are told to jump off a mountain to get easy mountain would we do it.
It is sad though, better to be

wow, they have a word for me... ha. 😁
hehe there you go 🤣🤣🤣
I read one who gave his account away and I almost commented "are you crazy?" lol!
Anyhow, thank you for the new vocab. The definition of the word doesn't suit you, haha. But the moral is a great take away. Salamuch for that too :)
hehe yes I don't think I am one, but we can laugh about it!
It is fun learning new words, so you can see where to practice it CJ:)
We sure did, good thing to laugh about. And yes, another term added and will practice it around like the most recent "fluffing" :)
