Opinions on White Lies?

My wife’s opinion is that anything less than the complete truth is a lie, including white lies and including remaining silent.
Questions like "does this dress make me look fat?" or "does my butt look bad in this swimsuit?" are evidence of double-jeopardy. She doesn't approve of white lies unless the white lies involve HER. The prudent husband will respond, "not really, but I think that other outfit is far more flattering for you. I know I like it more when you wear it..."
:)
On a serious note, I don't think white lies are actually "lies" by deception or omission - but rather a diplomatic way of concealing, or coating, a truth. I may tell her that we're going somewhere when, in reality, we're going somewhere else for a far better reason: but it's a surprise. Or, perhaps, that I didn't even think about our anniversary being today - but then she opens our newspaper to see a large ad in the classifieds about how much I love her and I love being married to her.

This site leaked my personal information

An email leak is one thing. Sad, but true i got everything hacked by a 2013 breach at Target, followed by a Home Depot breach in 2014. I was notified by my bank of the hack and told me my credit card was cancelled and a new one is being sent out. I still get idiots that can't spell sending me email, labelled HOne Depee pass do.

Yup, I got a years free monitoring from the Home Depot leak.

I have had another year of free monitoring from another vendor but can not remember who it was now.

Ads on AndroidForums.com

It's sad. I like ads in principle. Done right, they're informative and/or entertaining. Unfortunately, advertising on webpages is a cesspit. Not only are webpages ads intrusive and worse than useless, they're security risks! All computers, which are used for web browsing, must have ad-blockers to be secure. Online ads hack computers too often.
