Fancy cupcakes are 70% icing, really not that nice and a waste of money

2FA is too inconvienient* and I think using a password manager to generate a very long password is good enough.
Software 2FA is not even that much more secure to be worth the inconvienience.
And for hardware 2FA keys, there is a higher chance for me to misplace those keys than getting hacked. (I don’t have friends to put a backup key in and I don’t wanna pay for a safe deposit box)
[*For me personally, your security needs might be different. I don’t work with any sensitive classified info or anything like that.]
I really hate services that use 2FA but the app runs on your phone. Like the android app for ms teams still wants me to enter a 2FA code that I recieve on the same phone! This adds zero extra security, the teams app should just directly ask for my fingerprint if that is even necessary.
Being neuroatypical isn’t a fashion accessory. Growing up in the 80s and 90s and not being “normal” was marginalising and hard for everyone around. You’re not special or trendy because you self-diagnosed autism using an online questionnaire in 2023, you’re just an unbearable twat and you want to not have to take accountability for your own shitty attitude.
They only got the Predator’s mandibles right in the first movie.
Respect pornstars.
I pay ‘em my respect every other night, like a gentlemen.
Also those who haven’t become stars.
Sex work is work.
Let’s get real.
Disrespect for such proffesions spells out, what is pretty fucking obvious (Pun intended, obviously), to everyone that isn’t the narcissist and his cult of Jesus Snow Crash. He isn’t crippling the market and preventing the exchanges. He’s stealing money from both side of those in the exchange and preaching to the cult that all things wrong and responsible with labels.
This, because the fact is that he’s so ugly, incompetent, lacking self care, and predominantly of zero integral character deserving any respect. He’s mad about people that are just ugly or whatever getting laid by any means when he tried and burnt half his face and body when he tried not to listen to her say no and she already saw it coming.
Not only is it acceptable to consider such to not be criminal, it’s fucking respectable and when she says no and you can’t deal with it, or shit, start some narcisstic denial cult…
De dana dan, de dana dan, de dana dan, de dana dan De, de, de, dana dan, de, de, de
What the fuck are you on about? Are we playing a game of Non Sequitur? If we are, here’s my turn:
I’ve got new socks on.
I wil give an explination of the very last paragraph:
Bloodywood - Dana Dan
I know.
The rest of the bullshit is what I’m talking about.
At any rate you show no signs of knowing how to actually converse, so goodbye.
Ketchup has no place in the world except to cover the taste of spoiled meat.
Especially in the US, a third of the bottle is sugar. Hot dogs? Put ball park mustard on it, the spices in the mustard complement the dog.
Ketchup is a fascist condiment. You start with a little, then it drowns out and dominates everything you put it on and all you’re left with is a sugary tomatoey bullshit taste in your mouth.
Depending on how the next four years go, probably Capitol.
Nice
Spelling and grammar matter.
At least take a stab at doing it well.
Other than speaking to people, it’s how we interact with others. It can be professionally, casually, or with friends. Friends we can be pretty informal and slap emojis all over if that’s your style. But casually, even online interaction, people should favor more formal writing until “reading the room”. Professionally there’s no excuse, IDGAF how “brilliant” someone might be and suddenly they get a pass for whatever comes down the email pipeline (unless that brilliance comes attached to some bonafide neurodivergence or something), the awful writing I’ve seen come from some “professionals” is anything but.
Reminds me of Stephen Fry’s Language monologue.
Spellynge and gramere ben of greet importaunce.
At the leeste, assayeth to doon it wel.
Save speche with folk, it is the manere whereby we commune with othere. It may be in craft (that is, professional wise), or in lightnesse (casually), or with felawes and frendes. With frendes, men mowe be ful unceremonious, and yif it be thy wone, thou mightest strowe thy writ with signes and ymages (emojis). Natheless, in casual wise, eek in writen wordes upon the net, folk oughten first to usen more formal stile, til they han y-espied the mood of the compaignye.
In matters of craft and office, ther is noon excusacioun; I care nat how “brighte” a man is holden, ne sholde he have licence for what-so-ever slouthe cometh doun the email weye (save his wit be y-joined with som sothfast diversitee of wit, as neurodivergence or swich). The vile writ that I have seen y-come from “professionals” is naught but shameful.
I mean if you’re using modern English you’re using hundreds of years of accumulated error.
(Be glad I only reached back to Middle English. Nobody wants to see what Old English looks like for this. What’s that? You do?)

I want the bad-grammar version of Old English.
You got it. I’m waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too lazy to do it right!
Things where better when the internet was one spot in your house. Not in your pocket at all times
Post made using Boost for mobile phone
I’ve been very seriously considering a dumb phone.
I recently got a small basked a little larger than my phone. I put my phone in it when I get home from work. It’s a good example for my kids and it helps me to actually be present with my kids instead of being on my phone half of the time.
I’m so out of shape right now, it’ll probably be whichever one I try to climb next.

this is some real /r/suicidebywords material right here

Fondant isn’t icing and is cheating when making a cake. It also tastes gross.
Fondant can be good, but it takes a hell of a baker to do so. A friend of mine’s mom made my wedding cake and the fondant she made was fucking bomb as hell. I was really skeptical of the fondant until she made the test cake, and I’m disappointed every time I have anything with fondant because I know it will never live up.
Ask her for the receipe and post it here, please.
Yes but the icing is what i want.
Walpurgis is Homura’s witch
Icing is the best part of the cupcake OP 🤌 come on!
The Petty One: Optical Media is Bad. It has always been and always will be. We used it for as long as we did because there was no better choice. But when it came to music I went straight from tape to mp3 because I never trusted CD’s, and I will continue not to trust CD’s.
The Serious One That Might Ruffle Feathers: The entire school curriculum of every country should be wiped out – And replaced with fifteen years of nothing but reading comprehension. We live in an era where information is extremely cheap but knowledge is priceless. And to go from information to knowledge, one needs to have a well developed reading ability and bullshit filter. There’s no point memorising a bunch of nonsense when it is easier and faster to use technology – We stopped doing recitations when we invented writing, you know? – What IS important is understanding what you are seeing and recognising lies for what they are.
It didn’t ruffle my feathers. It just made me laugh.
Everybody has an opinion on education. Most of them are single-issue. Almost all of them are wrong.
I would like to congratulate you on choosing the most assholish way you could have possibly phrased that :>
Go on… so what’s the right one? I can’t understand why anyone would go to attack others without offering a superior alternative. Like, you may as well just not say anything, then. If you don’t have a better idea, then theirs isn’t worse because you didn’t even provide a rebuttal.
I’m not even on the side of the person you responded to, but why would you not want to state what would work better? That’s just trolling.
The “right one” is to stop treating it as a “single issue” matter and dismissing literally decades of education research.
Maybe go read a modern textbook on education and see what issues there are, what the research on the subject says, and derive from that some conclusions about any “single issue” approach to education (whether it’s “TEHY JUST NEED MORE JEEBUS!” or “we should throw everything out and replace it with reading”).
So the “right one” is to shut the fuck up if you think there’s a one-size-fits-all approach to education. Kind of like if you think there’s a one-size-fits-all approach to anything. Even carpentry.
I don’t think I can put into words how much worse my life would be if we followed your second suggestion. There are a great many things I never really wanted to learn about, but I’m incredibly glad I was still taught them - starting from basic stuff (like maths etc) over arts (especially poetry and literary analysis) to sciences (especially physics and chemistry).
I would understand far less about the world, I could never engage as deeply with media as I love to, and I couldn’t have built so many things that require holistic insight into our world.
I’d be a far less developed version of myself, because I wouldn’t be able to follow my interests the same way.
I must wonder why not. Like, clearly those things are enriching to you, aren’t they? Why wouldn’t you have learned them on your own terms? Assuming nothing was stopping you? You seem not to be an incurious person? Again, information has never been cheaper, you just have to look for it.
Like I’m not trying to make fun of your explanation or even say you’re wrong. Just… Genuinely wondering how come
I wouldn’t have known how much I enjoy some of those things. Let’s stick with literary analysis - I hated doing that in school, really hated it. It was a slog to get through. Until I one day read something I enjoy, and started feeling the things I learned to analyze. Suddenly the text wasn’t just a text, it was a conversation with the author. It made me engage with reading on a different level, and also taught me to utilize the same techniques in my own writing.
But I know myself well enough to know that I wouldn’t have been able to force myself to learn that stuff on my own. Writing literary analyses and having them read, critiqued and graded by my teachers was essential to learning it. Yet I would have gone on thinking that it’s a waste of my time, had I not been forced to learn it.
Reading comprehension is incredibly important. Bullshit filter also sorely needed. I get very frustrated when I see people falling for obvious false information. I’ve been shown AI videos that are clearly fake but they believe it.
I think my favorite are conspiracy theories who won’t believe something backed with like, facts, but will believe this 30 seconds tik Tok from someone they don’t know quoting someone they also don’t know.
Spanish food sucks! Although I think I already died in that hill today.
Oh crikey that’s controversial
That’s at least a very controversial opinion! Wanted to downvote you so bad ;-)
You don’t like tapas?
Analog media was better and more fair to artists, and easier to make money off of (why sell an album when people will stream it), and allowed people to become more intelligent and involved music fans. The digitization and non stop consumption of media cheapened it. Not to mention, I’d bet 90% of young Americans have never heard a good home stereo that actually represents how the music is supposed to sound.
And no, I’m not 80 years old!
Not till next year right?
I’m going to add to this to call out earbuds, they suck. To truly experience some sound with headphones you need ear covering.
Also not 80.
