Today your pal and mine Joe “The Machine” Skeen pwn one of the two Ninja Hacker Academy domains! This pwnage included: Swiping service tickets in the name of high-priv users Dumping secrets from wmorkstations Disabling AV Extracting hashes of gMSA accounts We didn't get the second domain pwned, and so I was originally thinking about doing a part 5 in November, but changed my mind. Going forward, I'm thinking about doing longer, all-in-one hacking livestreams where we cover things like NHA from start to finish. My first thought would be to do one long livestream where we complete NHA start to finish. Would you be interested? Let me know at 7MinSec.club, as I'm thinking this could be an interesting piece of bonus content.

ONLINE DATING at MIDLIFE and BEYOND Dr. Becky Hoppins returned to the show, this time to talk about online dating. She's a Board-Certified Naturopathic Physician working at the Sage Clinic in Edmonds, WA. The podcasts we did in January and March dealt with menopausal issues and balanced hormones. Why the subject of online dating for today's program? My husband Bryan and I recently enjoyed a double date with Becky and her partner Rob. She and I discovered we had both met our partners online and had had some parallel experiences. So, this program's topic was born! No matter our age (Becky is midlife, I am much older), we need to figure out who to look for, where to look, and how to recognize this person when meeting him or her. Dr. Becky and I agree that one must first do inner work to be ready to attract the right person. If you want to date and have a relationship with a terrific person, you must start by being a terrific person yourself! Self-images can be deceiving. Think how OTHER'S PERCEPTIONS and YOUR PERCEPTION might differ. Here's an exercise I offer to clients looking for a relationship: Circle the words that you think would describe how other people perceive you now. Then make a check by the same word you believe portray how you really are. Here's the list: happy, secure, warm, inadequate, caring, distant, scared, sad, angry, giving, insecure, unhappy, bright, naïve, handsome, homely, attractive, trim, fat, compassionate, playful, shy, confident, anxious, lonely, talented. Life choices and self-improvement can open us to the potential bounty of our lives … and to more promising potential dates! What are your personal expectations for online matches? Dr. Becky points out that her advice is specifically for those looking for dates that lead to long term monogamy. When you've done the (therapy) work, you're more likely to attract the right person – able to trust, to mesh a life with someone. Don't expect someone to rescue you, no one is coming to fix your life. You don't want to be a “project.” You want to be your own hero. Crafting a profile. Be clear about your political, social, and religious stances. A discussion about the right kind of photos ensued. What to look for in a date's profile. Much of what you see may not be the whole truth, may be misrepresentations. Dr. Becky cites Jennie Young's “Burned Haystack Dating Method.” She's a professor of rhetoric and feminist studies. Listen to the show for the details. Blocking vs Swiping left: you block people not aligned. The algorithm will bring you better matches. Handling the first date. The coffee meeting is not the first date – it's more like a job interview. On the first date, someone with more polished conversational skills can talk about things that will interest the other; be a good listener; flirt a little if you feel the chemistry; and not talk about your ex. Oversharing is not intimacy (on the first date). Neediness is a turn-off. Lead with curiosity and ask your date about himself/herself.

In this episode of "Mr. Pick Me and the Man Hater Radio Podcast Hour," hosts Chesko and Regan dissect a viral clip claiming that "women are naturally better at rejecting men." The duo unpacks how this mindset reveals toxic attitudes toward both men and women, exploring how men who complain about constant rejection often approach dating with entitlement and poor strategies—like mindlessly swiping on dating apps or hitting on strangers without establishing any connection. They discuss how women develop rejection skills out of safety concerns rather than some inherent ability, examine the weaponization of service industry interactions, and challenge the notion that men should have unlimited access to women's time and attention. Throughout their conversation, Chesko and Regan highlight how these dating frustrations stem from treating potential partners as objects rather than people, while emphasizing that meaningful relationships require genuine interest, shared connections, and mutual respect.

“Swiping gave us power, play, and paradox. It made love fast, gamified, and addictive. But as dating evolves past the swipe, one thing remains: the search for connection. Whether with a swipe, a tap, or an AI introduction, the question is the same: will this be the one?”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.
“Swiping gave us power, play, and paradox. But as love goes beyond the swipe, the story of dating becomes more about trust in technology versus trust in ourselves. Maybe the next big romance won't come from swiping at all… but from letting the future of tech — or fate — surprise us.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.
If you identify as a strong, independent woman who is 100% fine being alone, this one is for you… Because I'm calling bullshit. Being single is not the same thing as being alone. And sure, maybe you're fine being single…but what do you fill that gap with? TV? Social media scrolling? Going out with friends? Swiping on the apps until your weekend is booked up? “Wait, you want me to sit there, alone, with nothing to distract me from feeling a real, genuine EMOTION for once? I think the FUCK NOT.” Yeah. That's what I fucking thought. Most people cannot stand actually being alone with themselves. But if you made yourself sit with your sadness, your anger, whatever it is…you might actually discover that feeling all the feels, even the ones we're so terrified to feel, is a deeply beautiful thing.

This week, Damona takes on a question from longtime listener Vernee, who's back in the dating scene after a hiatus… and hitting a wall when it comes to finding someone who shares her political and social justice values. Vernee asks: "I'm politically progressive, very values-driven, and living in a purple state. I've tried everything — hints in my profile, direct chats — but nothing's working. Where are the men who believe what I believe?" If you've ever wondered how to communicate what matters without scaring people off — or how to find someone who's actually aligned — this one's for you. In this episode: • Why dating apps might feel harder now than they did just a few years ago • How political identity and core values have become deeply intertwined • What to say in your profile (and what to leave out) • Why texting about politics rarely works — and what to try instead • Where to meet values-aligned people beyond the apps • The line between staying open-minded and lowering your standards Submit your question: call or text 424-246-6255 Follow Damona on IG: @damonahoffman Get your free Date Tracker at damonahoffman.com Order F the Fairytale on Amazon, B&N, or from your local bookseller Learn more about your ad choices.

In Hour 3, Willard and Dibs continue to discuss Dillon Brooks' swipes at Steph Curry's injured thumb, debate if it's dirty, break down if it's normal to see things like that in professional sports, and more.
Take this as your invitation to pause, reflect, and ask yourself a few questions, like: “What am I really looking for in love?” “Is the way I'm dating aligned with my vision?” And most importantly – “Am I the one standing in my way?” Because it's not just the ambiguities of the dating apps, the confusing texts, or even the ghosting. It's also the emotional weight you carry. The unrealistic expectations. The habit of clinging to a “type” or trying to be what someone else wants instead of honoring what you actually need in love. Dating in midlife isn't about chasing old dating stories, or finding someone to complete you. It's about honoring the version of yourself you've worked so hard to become. In Episode 67: What Are You Really Looking For in Love?, I'm getting honest about:Why dating can feel exhausting (especially in midlife).The sneaky emotional patterns that keep you stuck.How to realign your actions with your values, and shift your dating experience for good. This episode is a loving reminder that you don't need to work harder at dating. You just need to start dating differently.✨ If you've been feeling heavy in your search for love, this one's your reset. It's time to date in a way that actually feels good, and is aligned with what you want, instead of doom swiping your way into giving up entirely. And while you're in a Finding Love flow, don't forget to grab your FREEBIE downloads. From transforming your mindset to curating your dating profile, these free guides will help you show up as your most empowered, aligned, and confident. Go grab one now!
In a recent Instagram post, I spoke about how many of my clients hold a fear that a relationship will swallow them whole. This isn't a misconception, as many of them have completely lost themselves in prior relationships. Also identifying as people pleasers, they've historically had a hard time operating authentically in their relationships, be they romantic, platonic, professional or (most of all) familial.Because of this, it's crucial, when it comes to dating, that we double down on their ability to authentically express themselves. One of the first and most common areas that can be worked on is in the act of swiping. And with that, I'm a proponent of leaning into swiping...left. Yep, left. Listen to find out why I find it to be so empowering and how to differentiate between an authentic "I don't want to swipe right on this person," versus the ever elusive "being too picky."Work with me PrivatelyConnect on InstagramWebsitePodcast Production by James Jorge

“There's no time like the present,” is an adage President Donald Trump appears to have taken to heart. Trump has been in office for less than a month and has successfully managed to keep every political journalist in America working overtime to keep up with the slew of actions. Open Google Maps on your phone and zoom out. The Gulf of Mexico is now The Gulf of America. Biden administration DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is long gone, replaced by Secretary Kristi Noem, who this week “clawed back” $59 million FEMA allocated to house illegal aliens in luxury hotels in New York City. Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency is exposing waste in D.C. and actively shrinking a federal government that did nothing but balloon for the past four years. So far, all of Trump's cabinet picks, including Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have been confirmed, and all have pledged to restore common sense to the American government. This Valentine's Day, “Problematic Women” is breaking down the biggest stories we are “swiping right” on. For all our readers who never had to use a dating app, you are blessed, and “swiping right” refers to letting someone know you are interested in starting a conversation. While Democrats might not feel the love in Washington, Americans largely appear pleased with the barrage of action coming out of the Trump administration. According to a recent CBS News/YouGov poll, Trump has a 53% approval rating and 70% of Americans say Trump is doing what he promised he would do. Catch this week's edition of Problematic Women as we break down what Trump actions we are “swiping right” for. Plus, we share our favorite breakup and love songs, and offer some (hopefully helpful) dating tips. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
