@socketwench i have a slightly different take on this.

here in the uk we get cold calls (often scams) from call centres in asia or india, and the caller often has a really thick accent.

can't scam me if i can't understand you.

can't scam me if i can say, well, thick indian accent, this is a call centre.

CAN scam me if the scammer sounds like my mother…

@socketwench flashback to when the Google glasses dropped and someone's use case in defense of them was that when the tech is perfected his racist grandma could have an AR overlay only showing white people so she wouldn't be upset.

@socketwench ...didn't they watch Sorry to Bother You?

Maybe they didn't think it was horror/comedy.
