  • I found a HuffPo article linking to the original Twitter post (link to bad place) in case anyone wanted to verify this was legit before sharing.

  • I believe the main concern for periodic password changes is that most people won't take the time to generate unique passwords each time. They will typically iterate a password over time, meaning a couple leaked passwords will narrow down guesswork to a trivial number of guesses and remove the benefit of the timed changes.

    NIST no longer recommends password expirations except for cases where it is believed that a breach occurred.

  • That first one doesn't make any sense. Every processor has its own assembly language. The game would run on YOUR machine and any others running the same processors, but you'd have to build a custom version for any other processor you want to support.

    That said, it could potentially be insanely well optimized for that platform if everything was hand coded.

  • If you're close enough to drop caltrops reliably (ie, while avoiding other cars), you're close enough to be spotted by the car cameras. At that point, just mask up and stick a knife in the tire wall.

  • My buddy had the opposite version of this when we went to Japan. He was pretty good at conversational Japanese because that's what was taught in his college courses, but most of our interactions were in a business context using keigo Japanese which is more polite and formal.

    He struggled for a while, especially because we found that lot of Japanese folks would downplay their knowledge of English out of modesty. There were a number of times when our friend would struggle to find the right word and the person he was talking to would confirm the correct English word first before offering the Japanese variant.

  • The first season of Spartacus. My dad recommended it and I tried watching the first few episodes. Spartacus gets his ass kicked a lot at the start of the show. You'd get a glimmer of hope, then he'd fuck up and nearly die again. My dad insisted it would get better and I watched one more episode and he has his first victory in the arena. I stuck with it from there and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the first season and the prequel season.

    RIP Andy Whitfield. I tried watching the third season which picks the story back up after the first, but I just couldn't get into it. I don't think it was necessarily Liam McIntyre's fault, the show just lost it's rhythm after the setting change.

  • To the LGBT and particularly trans people, how are you holding up these days?

  • I'm poly, my girlfriend is married to a woman. They have been looking hard at contingency plans. One of them is eligible for dual-citizenship due to ancestry and is looking into that process, and they have confirmed with friends in another country that they could rent a room with them if necessary.

    A couple weeks ago, she asked me if I would marry her in the event they felt the need to divorce and "go undercover" looking more heteronormative.

    They are scared. They feel like they are not that far removed from the "kind of person" who might be next up for disappearances by our current government.

  • I've never been a big fan of Tinder. It's too hard to figure out who is a real person with the minimal profile info provided. I think you're generally better off with an app that requires(or at least allows) more effort to create a profile, and/or something a bit more focused than just hookups.

    OKCupid and Feeld are the apps that work best for me. Feeld is more for kinky and/or poly people, so it narrows down the playing field a lot. I think that makes things way easier. Of my current partners, one was on OKC and the other was on Feeld.

  • Only 22% had non-violent offenses, and about a dozen face serious charges.

    This makes it sound like most of them had violent offenses. To clarify from the article:

    75% had no criminal record

    22% had "a criminal history—mostly for non-violent offenses like theft, shoplifting, and trespassing"

    3% had "unclear records"

    "A dozen of the 238 migrants were accused of murder, rape, assault, and kidnapping."

  • Polyamory is a bit like gender identity or sexual orientation. Some people (like me) are just not wired for full-time monogamous nesting relationships in the same way that a straight person isn't likely to feel sexual attraction to a member of the same sex. Consider how you might feel if your daughter came out as gay, or non-binary. Would your reaction be different?

    She's still growing and developing. I think one of the biggest changes between our generation (X, Millenial, maybe older end of Z) and the younger generation is that there isn't this fear or stigma about trying out alternative lifestyles. It doesn't mean that they are inherently more or less likely to be queer or non-monogamous, it means they are more free to try these identities on and see if they fit with a reduced risk of being socially ostracized.

    It's very possible that your daughter is just trying this out. Completely independent of your reaction, it is completely feasible that she determines that she (or her partner(s)) figure out that it is not a good fit on her/their own. Regardless of that outcome, your behavior around this will affect your relationship with her. You can be uncomfortable, you can even communicate to her that you are uncomfortable, as long as you still give her space to explore, and I think she will continue to confide in you and trust you with this kind of access into her life as she matures into an adult.

    For what it's worth, I think most people assume monogamy is a default, but I believe it should be a conscious choice. It is absolutely the best choice for MOST people, but I think we would all be happier if we navigated into our relationship styles based on informed decisions, rather than societal expectations.
