  • One time I got my password found and used by some group (was young and thought it’d never happen to me). Luckily I had thought of a slight variations for important passwords, but I went on a long all-night password change extravaganza.

    After that I was scared to use any repeated one so I came up with a whole idea that night for how I could change them all to be entirely unique but have a process to determine it that I could remember. It mixes shifts in the alphabet, shifts on the keyboard, and a changing set of words plus big number and has symbols in the middle. I can always guess my own password within 2 or 3 guesses now.

    I think it’s pretty useless now, because I’ve learned enough to know how password managers are just much better. But I’m too lazy to fix it right now. Probably should though. But I’m also definitely convinced my method is robust enough that it would take a team working really hard to figure it all out. I’m sure someone could figure out one portion, but figuring out all of them and how to use it for other accounts would be a full time job. I don’t have enough money or important stuff to steal for anyone to care enough I think lol



  • Fun fact, in Dutch and German (pretty sure? But with the German word of course) you call each piece of bread a “boterham” in a classical 2 bread sandwich. So if you say “I brought 2 boterhammen for lunch” everyone imagines 1 sandwich of 2 bread slices.

    This becomes even funnier because people often cut their sandwiches corner to corner, creating 2 different 1/2boterham +1/2boterham sides that come together to make 1 boterham in the shape of a triangle with stuff between. So you can either count the original bread slices for the amount of “boterhammen” or count the triangular half sandwiches.








  • You keep stating that he doesn’t believe these answers. I think you need to make a strong reflection about what this means in a broader context. I think there are countless politicians who don’t believe their bullshit but say it anyways. You personally being involved with Mamdani does not change the character of his bullshit-spewing in any way. I’m sure huge amounts of democrats don’t believe that maduro is a dictator who deserves destruction, but they will rhetorically support it just like Mamdani. And that’s because of the systemic forces which Mamdani is also falling to instead of pushing back. It’s not just a reflection of his intelligence or something, it’s that he is failing to oppose anything meaningfully like every other democrat. His personal ‘beliefs’ matter as little as anyone’s







  • To begin, the reasoning here is not meant to denigrate the hard right of the queer community for their rights. Both that heroic work and my theory below can exist simultaneously.

    Conspiracy brain here, but gay marriage happening while the US empire was building up marketable means to destroy the world always seemed a bit coincidental. Queer folk were fighting to get rights, mostly in disparate groups and movements with a few very good and principled attempts at higher organization around and rich people were starting to be a liability to empire if they were supportive of LGBTQ+ rights instead of the benefit they are based solely on relation to physical means of production. The US government saw a way to strategically let one oppressed group gain their rights (a loss for empire in the short term) in order to later be able to leverage later (more wins for empire long term).

    Now how many attacks are justified with the (correct but misplaced) critique of the country lacking LGBTQ+ rights? It’s not always the number 1 way, but it muddies the waters enough for queer allies to not want to take part in critique or opposition. And how many terrible domestic political things have been supported at least partially because of token queer people coming out as supportive? (This is an actual question, I don’t follow too much on internal policies so I would love feedback. Probably Anti-Trans shit would be an example)

    So conclusion is: I have no idea really how it was organized or if it really succeeded due to its organization. I have doubts, actually, and think that the organization likely could’ve been better and that success was more likely a strategic choice by the empire as opposed to it succeeding by its own efforts.

    Now Cuba, there I’d love to read a deep-dive on how it was organized to make the new constitutional rights!
