    Yeah, as someone who doesn’t get paid to do security, but does it anyway because it is their passion…

    Dad is on the right side of things. Hijacking a phone connection like that is fucking HARD. I’ve been studying hacking since Zork.

    While spelling out your email and password phonetically is a pain, its fairly secure.

    To pedants: I said fairly, no one under observation from a three letter agency should use this.


  • I’d like to report that the more specialized a medical doctor is, the less common sense they have.

    Had a doctor chew me out because he couldn’t be bothered to simply turn the computer on.

    That was the issue. Pushing a button was beneath him. Cool man, I’m the only one here at this hour and the phones have to be manned constantly. That ticket can go to another department and wait until they come in morning.

    Also, low priority and I noted that the doctor refused to simply turn it on.

    I think that ticket sat there for over a month.








  • I don’t find myself “engaged,” I find myself wanting to spend money for something that will bore me the next week.

    There is a reason I’ve mostly played single player games for the past decade.

    I was tired of the “seasons” and micro transactions when I just wanted a story. If the story was good, I’d be ok with purchasing an expansion upon it. I remember my first expansion pack, Warcraft 2, played over a phone line. It felt worth it.

    For more modern games, The Witcher 3 DLC felt like proper expansion packs. I have no bad feelings about those.

    But just adding a few cosmetic items? Fuck off.

    I’ve lived in Texas as long as I can remember, but I was born in California.

    Spanish finds it’s way into my everyday speech constantly.

    My family is white as fuck, but my mother became fluent in college.

    I took Spanish in high school for my foreign language credits.

    While I’m not fluent, I’ve worked closely with people who primarily speak Spanish with a little broken English.

    The little bit of Spanish I recall, and the little bit of English they know, allowed us to work together.

    Is that irritating?






  • The last group I was with ran mostly DND 5e. However, our DM needed a break, and another player took up the reigns for a Star Wars Table Top.

    It was not serious. Homebrew and the rule of cool made it a blast - Think Guardians of the Galaxy comedy in a Star Wars wrapper.

    The DM for that set goal posts. Like around a certain level, force sensitive classes would get their first light saber.

    My character was a bounty hunter who finally got his Mandalorian armor where I could customize “components” like a hand mounted flame thrower, or a shoulder cannon, or what the fuck ever. We spent more time dissecting statistics to get it balanced than anything thematic.

    Totally home brewed in that system.

    I think that was my best table top experience, and I’m an old school DND nerd. I feel like some days I can barely do my job, but I can quote how THAC0 works on a whim.

    I don’t understand statistics unless dice are involved, and no that does not extend to gambling dice games. Utterly useless, but I can go into an ADHD hyper focus on anything that is not actually beneficial to my life in a tangible way, lol.






  • I mean, if I’m dating a girl (I’m married now, and not looking to change that) I’d be curious about her pussy resume.

    More so to know if they carry any sort of VD. Mutual STD testing should be more common, in my mind. Doesn’t help for drunk hook-ups, but if you’re looking to get into a real relationship, I feel it should be more normalized.

    People don’t get tested enough, I’ve been safe, but I should have been in a mutual testing situation in the past. Nothing happened to my dick, but this girl got around - I found out later. Wouldn’t have minded as much if I knew she had a clean bill of health, but that was never ascertained.

    To people worrying, I got a vasectomy at 24. The incision site and the rest of my genitals got infected. They tested for STDs first (I was clean) and it was just was a general wound infection that took antibiotics. But the fear, man, the fear.
