4grams@awful.systemsto politics @lemmy.world•Trump’s Hated ‘TACO’ Nickname Is Catching OnEnglish26·5 days agoCome on, this is the perfect reply. Well done.
That looks like my play through of a fallout game. For some reason it amuses me to no end to make a random, huge pile of found alcohol, in game.
I’m humbled by this man doing it in real life.

4grams@awful.systemstoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•got the bratwurst from the back of the grillEnglish19·7 days agoI know expensive, shitty healthcare in the USA is a stereotype, but in my experience it’s also largely true
I had a brain injury from a bicycle accident. The fact that my health has bounced back, but my finances likely never will, tells me everything I need to know about our system. One injury, and I now have a lifetime of bills to pay off. I guess it makes sense in some sick way, I do owe them my life, but man, they don’t let me forget (even if my broken brain tries).
4grams@awful.systemsto politics @lemmy.world•Influencer who attended Trump’s memecoin dinner says he got a ‘Walmart steak’—and no access to the presidentEnglish1·11 days agoThere’s more to it than that but of course that is a large part of it. We live in a society that prefers to reward a confident idiot to a pensive expert; essentially we reward dunning krueger.

4grams@awful.systemsto politics @lemmy.world•'Hidden' provision in Trump's big bill could disarm US Supreme CourtEnglish8·13 days agoI don’t know why people think rules still apply. They might say something but they came out 9-0 against him and he still claims a unanimous victory and the courts, media and American public all just shrug.

4grams@awful.systemsto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My password is not accepted because it is too longEnglish2·19 days agoI have a google voice number for that. Most things no longer accept it though.
4grams@awful.systemsto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My password is not accepted because it is too longEnglish2·19 days agoI had delusions of trying to keep track of which address is sold by who which is why I did the hide my email addresses. But I’ve always kept separate personal and spam accounts. This was my attempt at combining to a single account.

4grams@awful.systemsto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My password is not accepted because it is too longEnglish3·19 days agoDon’t get me wrong, there are systems that work. I built up a very successful smart card based system many years ago after a failed audit. I initially hated the idea but in the end we built a crazy secure environment that was very easy to use and maintain. That project is long since obsolete but after doing that one, over a decade ago, I figured things were headed in the right direction.
I think I’m extra sensitive right now because my aging mom has made the issue acute. She’s not the same as she was a few years ago and helping her with all her online accounts has become a nightmare. It’s just too complicated for many folks.
4grams@awful.systemsto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My password is not accepted because it is too longEnglish6·19 days agoYeah, I’m up to 40 hide my addresses for that same reason. Figure if the password sucks, at least the email can be unique and obscure.
I call that a feature.
4grams@awful.systemsto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My password is not accepted because it is too longEnglish55·19 days agoThis shit pisses me off so bad. I had an identity theft a few years back, took ages to undo, and my credit score is still impacted by it. At the time I moved to a password manager and all my passwords are 31 characters of garbage. I’ve got several, highly sensitive accounts that my passwords don’t work for, in fact one a bank, until fairly recently, had repurposed a phone number field in the DB so passwords were limited to 10 characters numeric only (I managed to get one of their IT folks on the horn to explain why the password was so awful).
I cannot believe we live in 2025 and we still haven’t figured out passwords.
This does help, and thank you. In truth, I don’t even want medication, I’m middle aged and this is the brain I’m used to. Would just be nice to understand myself a little better and maybe start getting some better strategies in place.
It’s just grating that every time I ask, I’m redirected. Maybe they just think I’m pill seeking.
Goddamnit, another thing I do to cope. I keep asking my doc how to get diagnosed, I just keep getting antidepressants prescribed which do not help.
It sucks because it’s beginning to feel like a life wasted. I got in early, my career pre-dates the 1st .com crash. My first browser was Mosaic, then shortly became Netscape with the big pulsating “N” animation.
I LOVED the early internet. I loved the personal sites, webrings, IRC and newsgroups. I remember the first time I spoke with someone on the other side of the world (hello to my Canberra friend, it’s me, your midwestern buddy). I felt part of something that was new and exciting and fun.
Then ads came and it’s just gone to shit ever since. To the point where I now hate being online, all my shit is selfhosted and I barely interact with anything besides lemmy and mastodon (they still feel like the actual internet).
I used to be slightly disappointed my kids didn’t turn out as nerdy as me. Now I am just thrilled that I was able to be a cautionary tale for them.
