Just when you though it was getting safer out there, Apple come up with a ‘new’ way of taking money off the gullible who have more of it than sense. And I should declare I do like both my iPhone and my watch - but pleeeez. One way of identifying a w*nker at a distance though.

WIST Quotations Jul 31

A quotation from Moliere

ELMIRE: No, amorous men are gullible. Their conceit
So blinds them that they’re never hard to cheat.

[Non; on est aisément dupé par ce qu’on aime.
Et l’amour-propre engage à se tromper soi-même.]

Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 4, sc. 3 (1669) [tr. Wilbur (1963)]

1. The Empire deceives
2. The Rebels deceive
3. #Gullibility is common to both.

It is not a small number of people in the United States of America who show they believe liars and deceivers during a pandemic, and the politicians people trust (who deceive), and the memes people trust are full of falsehoods.
