After checking my profile I found a bunch of people blocked, I know that I blocked the WSIDR but I only remember blocking one other person that seemed to be a troll.
AS for all the rest, I guess I have to be a man and claim responsibility, even though it was really negligence.
I have this brother Jim, who is perpetually looking for a job, (or a bottle) and I allowed hin to use my computor. Anyway, yoi people are smart, you can figure out the rest. The thing is, JIm isn't stupid! He was the smartest kid in the class. He just got mixed up with the wrong crowd, and he's having trouble seeing that he has to severe ties with those people who do not care about his future.
Any suggestions on how to deal with him?
I don't give him money, are a place to "crash", just let him use the phone somtimes, (anmd apparently he jumps on the computor).

When he uses the computer I typically log off, but apparently I have been negligent in my duties.

You people are giving such good advice, yet I am a high school dropout (I know you know this cause Jim made it clear)
and I really don't kniow much about computors.
My job is making me use the internet, and I am getting better, but sometime i am insecure when it comes to things like changing passwords can you help me?

Change your password and sign out when you're done. Problem solved.

You usually can't stop someone bent on self destruction. Not giving him money is a good idea.
You have to decide about the rest. As soon as you think that you are enabling the behavior or he is just taking advantage, you should stop and tell him to come back when he has had enough.
Talking to him isn't going to work unfortunately.
And you can unblock everyone if you want.

Sorry. But I don't believe you. This imaginary "Jim" has questions that sound just like the questions you asked last week and two weeks ago.
Had he commandeered your computer then too?
I see it on here all the time where people say really stupid things and then claim their "little sister" or "drunk brother" is actually responsible when they start regretting their actions or someone calls them on their stupidity.
I'm not buying it.
Sorry...

Your computer should allow you to set up a separate login for "guests" and exclude your bookmarks from being accessed by someone else.

I told my brother that as long as he chose to continue to drink, or use, he was not welcome in my home. He disappeared from my life for about two years....now he is clean and sober and working, so he is welcome in my home again and we have become close.
Not saying that will work for you, just saying that you have to decide what you will and will not abide, and then you have to stick to that.

I'd change my password. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with him.

Are you sure Jim's not just your imaginary friend?
