  • Any service that says I must have a 12 or 14 string password, combined with symbols, numbers and letters.

    Do you know why, I have to keep resetting my password, services that have this dumb requirement? Because your fucking requirements are absurd and unnecessary. I don’t have the mental capacity to care to remember that long of a password. I have to have a document now of all of the passwords I have so it’s not forgotten. I have to have browsers autofill for me because of this shit.

    In a perfect world, 6 - 8 string passwords would suffice and lots of emphasis on symbols and numbers at the very least. The longer you try making the characters of a password, the chances of forgetting increases.

    Flickr does this. Some of the portals to my apartment portal does this. Portals to some of my medical information does this. It’s fucking bullshit. StateFarm does this too.





  • I would rather keep up on the news that I think matters to me than the news in general. People seem to just love reporting the exact same things. I used to have frequented r/news to note this.

    Lots of news about dead people, dead children .etc that sparks a lot of age-old debates.

    Occasionally some celebrity dies, some small, some big.

    Political follow-ups that ultimately just lead to arguments.

    I tend to also like getting news a little after the fact. It helps the digesting and processing in a sense.
