  • My spouse was still sleeping earlier so I tried to sneak into the room to grab my phone I left on the nightstand. When I was walking out I stepped on a stuffed mouse on a string (usually hangs from a doorframe so the cat can play with it but he pulled it down apparently). When I stepped on it I thought it was a real animal and soon as my foot felt the pressure of pushing down on such an object I jerked it up roughly to my waist, kicked the door I was trying to walk through and it slammed shut.

    One of those moments where you want to apologize, but really then you are just causing more noise to wake them up further.

    Tldr; I’m an idiot







  • I just don’t think “Dems” really exist. People left of MAGA just vote for Democrats because it is what they have to choose from. People who want communism or socialism or social programs or just more fallbacks all want them in varying ways. People say “corporate Democrats” which is basically the majority of what the democratic party has represented for the last decade. A lot of people want to reform what the democratic party is because it is the only structure that exists so that’s why people want to primary everyone. In the end though that means that a corporate Democrat, and all those other groups are voting to replace the same people, but they don’t have the same views/wants. So there is no one person that would be an agreeable spokesperson for all of the various beliefs. Someone who believes the means of production should be owned by the people will never agree with someone who believes the means of production should be own by private entities. So they would be shitting all over each other’s “spokesperson” or whatever.


  • If your talking about a company like Apple, they can’t reset your password no matter what, they have no access. It is only controlled by the user unless it is an account recovery which takes days. (Which if a user creates an account recovery key, it takes it completely out of their hands). It’s a 28? Digit code that makes it so the password/account can never be recovered without that code and access to the phone number on the account unless there is still a device logged into that account you can change it from. You could have spent $8000 on the account for subscriptions/music/whatever, you won’t be able to access it ever again. All purchases lost


  • Companies like Apple say the password has to have a capital lowercase number and 8+ characters. But leave out that your password can’t be something you have used in the last year, can’t contain your name, birthday, or email address. Those errors will come up separately. In this case it would say you can’t reuse your password. It doesn’t say your last password because it wasnt your last password. Some people just don’t use the password daily/weekly, so they forget 6 times a year and have to keep resetting it.

    Also the number of people forget their passcode because they use face/touch id all all the time is higher than you’d expect apparently. I knew someone who used to complain about it when they did support for them. Essentially people plug their device in every night, use it daily and never turn it off so it always accepts face or touch. Then they leave automatic updates on … and it restarts for an update and they can’t get back into their device because face/touch doesn’t work on first boot, it is a subsidiary of the passcode and cannot be set up without the passcode.

    Then since they forgot their passcode, they have to wipe everything from the phone to bypass it… But of course they don’t know their password so they can’t sign back into their account and it is then activation locked because that’s how they prevent people from using stolen devices.

    Then the extreme cases dude was telling me at that point is they changed their phone number at some point, so they can’t reset their password without it, it takes days if not a week to recover the account, all the while their phone is a brick



  • I agree with the sentiment, but it isn’t close to the same. Russia mobilized 100,000 troops to gather at the Ukraine border in 2020 before Biden became president. Trump has sent an additional 2,400 troops to the Iran area after starting the war. The meat grinder effect won’t work the same. Russia loses more troops a day sometimes than the U.S. has deployed. That’s why he doesn’t care. He knows he can always compare to Russia/Ukraine and “look good” while it is unfathomably stupid for him to do so.
