Aliens.

Alien is good too but Aliens is damn near perfect for me.

Idk what the heck James Cameroon is doing now but, Avatar just didn’t land in the same way to me.

Mine downsized a bit too but that didn’t stop RTO either.

No advice but for what it’s worth, I’m doing the same thing at work now. Just wanted you to know I relate. Sorry your job sucks. I hope you find another soon

This is exactly what my neighbor stopped me to tell me recently. About bringing in immigrants to vote and what not. I tried to tell him none of that information is true and show him where and why, but it’s really hard to do without making them dig further into their position.

Anne they are now conditioned believe that any media that doesn’t align with them is fake.

How do you choose? I always loved Teen Girl Squad.

They use names. Or rather, calls that seem like names.

A few years ago I chose to stop thinking about it. I just refill the roll and don’t worry about it. When I realized it didn’t matter, it was a weight lifted off my shoulders. Same with trying to stop the gas pump on the nearest dollar or setting the tv volume to an even number.

I don’t know why I felt such a relief when I let go, but I did and now I’m free!

I personally just use a pw manager. If I used them system myself, the alphabet words would probably be strings of characters that aren’t real words and I’d probably salt them too. But yeah I imagine you could run into size limits, which is a problem.

I just wanted to share a pw strategy that seemed interesting. I used a simple pattern to make the concept easier to understand.

This is a method I heard once for remembering random passwords that I thought was clever.

Create your own alphabet of words (or random characters). A is for Apple, B is for Boy, C is for Cat…etc.

For every letter in the URL, you use the word from your alphabet. Ex:

www.facebook.com

F = Fog, A = Apple, C = Cat, E = Egg, B = Boy, O = Off, O = Off, K = Kite

Next, you need a number if you didn’t use one in your alphabet.

Facebook is 8 letters long so I might use 8. Or only letters repeated once. Or maybe you use the whole URL. Up to you, but you do it the same way for every site. You create a patter that you follow and can remember, rather than remembering every password.

Need a symbol? Assign that to the top level domain. In my example, .com = # .edu = ? .org = * etc

Put it all together and my example password would be “8FogAppleCatEggBoyOffOffKite#”.

A password for google.com might be ‘6GolfOffOffGolfLogEgg#’.

Obviously, you don’t have to do it this exact way with the alphabet, number, and symbol. The idea is that you create a set of rules that you remember and follow. If you write down “A = Apple B = Boy…” and someone finds it, it won’t be instantly obvious that it is meant for passwords.

Soul Reaver

My whole family loved these games.

Later, I realized Amy Hennig worked on these at Crystal Dynamics before leaving for Naughty Dog where she worked on the Uncharted Series.

Skyrim. I’m a Skyrim hoarder, grabbing every flower I run by. While driving to work I remember thinking, I need to get those. Thank goodness I remembered not to do that in real life.

I grew up near Westboro Baptist in Topeka. We all knew where they lived because they fly the US flag upside down. They say “the US is in distress because of all the sinning”. Basically, because they hate LGBT+ people.

I thought of another one. That band Bloodhound Gang has some goofy songs. Obviously they have that one over-played song, but they also have a song that is just Ralph Wiggins quotes.

Maybe Beck? Que’ Onda Guero always makes me giggle.

And, a bit of a different genre but Father John Misty’s songs are sarcastic and often nonsensical. They sound all romantic and dreamy but the lyrics don’t always match the vibe.

Now, remember the quickest way to a girl’s bed is through her parents.

Have sex with them and you’re in.

Yeah, it wasn’t so bad except for the boarding. But I’m with you. I don’t want to rush to be crammed into a can of sardines any longer than I have to be.

Not all airlines assign seats. I learned this last year. Southwest doesn’t assign seats but you get assigned groups for boarding. You can probably pay for earlier groups but I don’t know, I wasn’t the one who purchased the tickets directly.

Anyways, you line up in order of your boarding assignment. The earlier you get on the plane the better seat you get.

I hated it. Just assign seats.

Anywhere but the bottom half of the phone. I hate that the charging port is on the bottom. It’s in the way when I need to use my phone while charging.

I enjoyed Starfield. It’s not perfect, but I like space battles.

I had some bugs in Cyberpunk but it didn’t really bother me either. Played on Xbox One. I had a good time.
