  • Just add one to the number each time.

    I’m on “[passwordiveusedforyears]22!” at work.

    For otherwebsites I’m on things like “[passwordIveusedforyears][websitename]!”

    Proper 2FA is secure enough for most people to keep using the same password so long as it hasn’t been compromised. And a few things, like work passwords, email passwords, and bank passwords should be unique to thaspecific account.

    Really, the biggest security hole is requiring logins for fucking everything. That’s why there’s a million password leaks. Why does a news website need me to sign in? Why do I need an account and password to order a pizza that I’m gonna pay for in-person?










  • I have seen a divorce caused by the presence of a kid.

    Coworker and her husband adopted a teenager who had issues. He started physically assaulting my coworker and she didn’t feel safe in the house and wanted the kid gone. Husband said they’d made a promise to care for and love him. In the end, he chose the kid over his wife and they ended up divorced.

    Also - I first heard this story from her when she had a breakdown about it on my first day at the job when I went to ask for the key to the supply closet.









  • Texas did this bigtime in 2003. The GOP, for the first time Texas history, had control over the house, Senate, and governor’s mansion. They gerrymandered the fuck out of Texas.

    In 2002, the majority of US House Representatives from Texas were Democrats. After the redistricting in 2003, the 2004 elections gave the GOP its first congressional majority out of Texas, with 2/3rds of the seats.

    Texas isn’t that red. Its shift to the right is fairly recent, and it was driven by having a Texan run for President and GOP fuckery with the elections.

    But that’s the thing with the GOP. You give them absolute power one time, and they’ll never, ever give it up.
