This happened in another state and this news station did a video on it which was kind of interesting https://youtu.be/mgh3xL5SieI?si=aM4aPRkfysSKBzIs

Nothing needs to be broadcast on social media 99% of the time. But positivity is nice to hear to muddy up the negativity we often see. So what if this didn’t need to be broadcasted. I still found it heartwarming and enjoyable to read and know someone is doing well for themselves.

Congratulations. That’s quite an achievement to make in your life to cancel out something that didn’t have a positive on your life and to do something better for the future at the same time.

Many of us past our 20’s can’t always say we did something so positive in our 20’s but we wish we had.

Y’all are fucking nuts lol

if it’s going to be that bad, why don’t you leave?

Maybe you should leave the country if it upsets you that much

I love seeing all the people get mad that they can’t do this now that my local city has effectively banned visitors during flower season :)

You can still see it from afar, but a bunch of people got mad because they drove over two counties to trample and crowd the flower fields for their own selfish desires only to find that the area has been blocked off completely to cars and people.

Get fucked in the nicest way possible. Enjoy it from a distance like a normal person so everyone else can enjoy it and so the damn flowers can keep coming back each year.

I’m still not convinced in this age of AI image generation.

Lost my wallet yesterday. Already canceled and got new replacement cards coming in.

I didn’t realize how easy it was going to be getting a replacement drivers license. I was fretting having to schedule an appointment.

They did use the same voice actress as the video game on the Windows version, I can confirm. Or at least it was a very good imitation.

I was really hyped for Cortana on Windows and then that faded pretty quick. But I remember hearing her voice and thinking how cool that was.

When I was younger, my imaginary friend’s name was Tony. Couldn’t tell you what he looked like though.

But I couldn’t stop laughing the first time I saw this on Malcolm in the Middle https://youtu.be/LQCzejDV7cY?si=R-smlPQ-HpPN0zD3 because I did have a weird fascination with that name as a kid.

But why? This makes it taste better!

Sometimes I google painless ways to die.

I can relate to this feeling. It’s like feeling suicidal, without actually the planning or action, but a wishful type of feeling.

I was feeling this at my last job because this woman who worked an enforcement type position was legitimately harassing me for some reason. She made up lies and enabled others to lie to hurt me. I had worked hard in that industry that covered a county and built a name for myself, partially off the name my family had built in the industry, but was getting my own name because of the hard work I was doing. I was no longer “so and so’s son”, I was now being recognized by my name. And she just came in and messed it all up for me, made me look really stupid, and worse, it was all lies. I couldn’t do anything to reverse the situation. I tried speaking up and was called a liar publicly. I felt powerless and helpless. I still have no idea why she had it out for me. I worked very well with all of her colleagues and those who worked there before her with no issues. I had also been taken advantage of by a coworker at this time, really a family friend who had known me since I was a toddler, and she used that to deceive me instead of just being upfront with her intentions which would have been a lot easier to work with. All while dealing with a close family member going through stage 4 cancer.

I often “fantasized” about ways I could end it all without actually going through it or would take me out. I would be driving and fantasize about the idea of just letting go and letting my car run into a nearby tree at a high speed or off a cliff into the ocean…

Thankfully I (obviously) never did and ended up switching industries and moving out of the area entirely and now I honestly can’t even remember her name. With being out of that position, that family friend’s betrayal no longer follows me. My family member has since passed, but I am at peace knowing they are no longer in pain.

I’ve been in a good position ever since then in nearly every way. My new career is something I’m more passionate about and feeling more content. I actually have a work life balance now. I get along with everyone at my newer job and also don’t have to work with an overseeing agency like hers. My boss is amazing, and always has been from the moment I met him. I’m also glad to not be supervising anyone anymore. That was a hell of its own too.

I’m sorry you’re going through this and feeling this way. It sucks that having a job is so much a necessity that it can cause this feeling in us.

I suppose the moral of my story is that everything in life is temporary, which is both a blessing and a curse, but a blessing to you right now to know that what you’re going through can be temporary. There is an end and it can and will come. There is a light at the end of the tunnel that you can come out of this and find a decent job again and find fulfillment in yourself again. Though, I hope the feeling of fulfillment comes before that because your purpose in life shouldn’t come from what you do, but who you are as a person. I don’t say that to put you down with how you’re currently feeling and apologize if that’s how it came across.

Is there any way you can volunteer? As I write this, I wonder if that can help in some ways. For you to get out physically and not have to be in the same physical location all day which can be damaging for your psyche. For you to find some fulfilling purpose again outside of yourself. For you to see a different side and find reasons to be glad you’re still here. For you to potentially have exposure to others who may recognize your contributions and help you find a position elsewhere. All things that I think could help improve your current life situation.

Cats are family too

It’s largely dependent on the hardware and software.

For example, old ass iPod Touches/iPhones can be brute forced with special hardware. I watched a video on this recently of some guy who found his old iPhone and wanted pictures off of it and the tech had a machine that would take a few days to guess every possible passcode combination. Though he was able to set a certain possible combination which helped decrease the amount of time to a few days.

That type of brute force is not as possible on modern hardware and software because manufacturers and programmers have gotten wise to it and developed better measures to protect against it, such as timeouts for incorrect passcodes. A few decades ago when we didn’t have this, it would still take a machine a few days to crack the code using brute force, but now you’ve added even more time on top of that to further slow the process, in hopes of the machine malfunctioning or just someone not wanting to waste time doing that.

The irony of this post lol

Scammers are crafty assholes.

Your health insurance information may have been leaked. There’s been a ton of data leaks as of recent and it’s not unlikely that a list of health insurance providers and their customers are on the dark web somewhere and this is where they got that information about you.

Worse about these data leaks is that a lot of the ones being announced happened months ago, so it’s likely we still have some leaks that haven’t yet made it to the news to let people know their information is out there.

Getting your health data from the pharmacy may have just been the next step in their plan of getting to you to trick you into giving up money, or somehow using your information to do something illegal.
