Scammers targeting people who have been scammed already is so common and they are incredibly brazen about it.

I think maybe rather than trying to gather biometric data, the choice of this form of authentication is related to the intimidation factor of implying they might be.

I can agree it’s a little bit racist and wrong to tell the story using that sort of slur, and honestly I kind of think likely the entire story is very racist due to being fake and made up to get a laugh at the expense of Indian people, but if it’s real it seems worse to be knowingly bringing harassment down on your coworkers by intentionally antagonizing people for a laugh when you’re supposed to be doing your job, I think that probably does more actual harm.

Story of Job is basically

Satan: bet that guy wouldn’t worship you anymore if you ruined his life

God: Totally would, watch me kill his whole family

They are both on team asshole

I want to do stuff

Total water absorption doesn’t matter that much because the significant thing is surface texture. If you’re going to dry them anyway you might as well instead wash them without directly pouring water on them.
