That I’m a good person. Really didn’t believe that for a lot of my life but therapy helped - not just in how I see myself but in how I BE myself too. I’m still really a degenerate at heart but one with self control and the ability to communicate what I’m feeling. What I want, and to clarify how other people feel.

I’m confident in my ability to communicate, to handle awkward social situations, in my hobbies.

I am confident about my ability to get back into shape. I’ve let myself go over the part couple years. It happens. But I’m back on track.

Something you touched on here that I think is a HUGE issue that fucking no one is doing anything about:

The internet is a necessity. Digital devices are necessities. People commit crimes on digital devices.

There is no one available, even in first world countries with great internet speeds, that you can go to with a problem more sophisticated than “someone took money from my bank account”.

There is no one you can talk to that understands the problem, let alone who can take action to remedy it.

Critical infrastructure is seriously vulnerable and there are multiple layers of the dunning Kruger effect and straight up fucking stupidity you would need to somehow wade through if you were facing any kind of skilled attacker, and you’d need to first identify what the fucking problem is in the first place, at which point what the fuck will they even do?

This isn’t 1996. The lackadaisical attitude towards cybersecurity held by virtually the entire world is a ticking fucking time bomb and it’s only a matter of time until it blows up and fucks over a lot of people in a big way.

If we can’t even keep critical infrastructure safe then what hope does a single person ? It’s fucking insane. Grandma may notice her phone is acting weirdly while her old ass router are being used as a spearhead for a sophisticated attack on the power grid or some shit, and there is zero chance, ZERO, anything could ever be done about it from her end.

She could take her phone to the cell carrier who would just sell her a new one. She could take it to the police who would say she’s probably senile. She could contact the manufacturer who wouldn’t do a fucking thing. She could know enough to know that something fucky was going on but there is NOTHING she could do to stop it.

The warp from warhammer 40k.

Just because of how grim dark and batshit it all is.

Better late than never?

Would you rather the kind of politician that just lies constantly?

The current anger with Sanders appears to be, from an outsiders pov, that he didn’t criticize Israel by calling it a genocide soon enough.

That appears to be it.

I mean. To dismiss everything because one mistake, even if that mistake is massive, and then correcting that mistake, if belatedly, to me, says something very positive about that politician.

I’d prefer it was immediate, and it’s gross that it took him so long, but all the other stuff isn’t cancelled out by that. He’s still a net positive. And he DID criticize earlier than any other us politician I can think of, and sure it Could have been even earlier and harsher, but like. Fuck. If you hate politicians for being open to changing mind based on new evidence, or reforming beliefs you don’t like, or admitting mistakes, you are AGAINST them being rational and it plays right into the hands of neoliberal propagandists.

A dealbreaker for me is that it’s wireless.

You’re posting about needing a wireless mouse on a post about hacking a mouse through its laser. I can’t even:

“There a super sophisticated hardware hack that can be done on mice. Which got me thinking about I’d like to increase the physical attack surface of my mouse by any means possible”

You should preface the comment with “Security is not super important to me here” maybe, given the context?

I was dealing with a boot kit exploit a couple years back.

On the great side (for me) Microsoft’s shitty fucking online installation requirements helped prompt me permanently switching to Linux.

On the negative side the issues were still there.

On the positive side I learned about air gapping a pc.

On the native side the issues were still there.

On the negative my self installed deadbolt was a waste of $40 because I forgot my fucking keys in it once and the issue was still there. Also I didn’t install it properly.

On the positive side my new deadbolt evidently works.

On the negative side it cost me $500 in addition to brand new hardware and the cost of a locksmith to install it securely.

On the mixed side I epoxied my windows shut, which was a very elegant solution by my apartment being very easy to break in to.

On the positive side I won’t even touch windows now, and my knowledge of how a pc and operating system works has increased exponentially under Linux and I actually understand a little bit of C, in addition to bash and Python, which is, awesome.

On the positive my home is secure which is awesome.

On the negative side: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

On the mixed side I also no longer order from Amazon. Or order electronics from anywhere.

I hope she doesn’t an hero.

are you drunk?

I’m drunk.

Wat Exit: I misread the comment. I subtract my wat. Thanks for the downvotes, it made me re-read the original comment

My pubes glow with the light of ten thousand radiant suns.

lol bros never polished his knob with a hitachi

If this had happened to me there’s a zero percent chance I wouldn’t have taken a shot at the threesome at some point.

Opportunities don’t come along like this every day.

Yup

So, cowardice. Gotcha.

It’s like a daisy chain in the back of the short bus.

You need to look into trepanation so the ghosts in your mom’s brain can escape.

Shut up, dog.

Real local women that are horny NOW

You just LOVE echo chambers huh?
