So confused by websites that demanded I include a capital letter, number, and punctuation in my password but are now suggesting I create a 4-digit pin and use that instead. Surely that isn’t very secure, right?
@sakura_branches@The_Calabo It was one of my absolute favorites when we were assigned it in high school. It made me go out and read Beowulf too. And I wasn’t much of a reader back then.
@toddedillard Once in middle school, we had a debate unit and I had to debate on the side of pirates in pirates vs ninjas. One of my points was that Somali pirates were still a thing while you never hear about ninjas anymore, and people didn't like that one for some reason
@fag_daughter The ontological ones are so dumb and I don't even understand why Christians would accept them. The Bible has God hitting the reset button multiple times, how could that possibly the greatest conceivable being lol
@TherynDArnold I just finished reading William Cronon's book Nature's Metropolis about the history of the simultaneous and linked development of Chicago and America's rural west. He also rejects city and countryside as distinct units.
@GarlicCorgi I think you're underselling it. I had a coworker who did option C and it only takes them doing it like 3-5 times before it becomes a problematic behavior pattern.
Sometimes a public figure will be criticized for not speaking on an important topic and their fans will say “well that’s bc they spoke up about X and everyone got mad at them!” and it’s like yeah you speak up because it makes the world better not because you get thanks for it
I can't stand the self-congratulatory trend of tweets from libs that look like:
" 'what radicalized you?' uhhhh idk being A GOOD FUCKING PERSON"
and then the extent of their "radicalization" was just voting for Kamala
@FleecedByGetz I hate when my team loses bc the ghost runner scored and I don't really feel that happy when my team wins bc the ghost runner scored. Pitch clock shortened games enough that it should be fine if they occasionally go 12 innings
@GoodVibePolitik When I first saw someone use “AES” while talking about this race, I thought they were a communist mocking electoralism by sarcastically referring to a left-wing candidate as Actually Existing Socialism lol
