I learned Ken po, I don’t know the legality of gouging someone’s eyes out but seems pretty effective… that was how almost every technique I learned seems to end. They had these mannequins with the eyes removed and they’d put soft boiled eggs in them. We never practiced on anybody & the guy who started it had an eye patch over one eye.

How does one setup 2FA on their site even? I enabled it on the trial subscription but it didn’t prompt me to set it up, even during the next login flow.

An article from 2017 on their site says that only the web client is available for 2FA-authenticated users. They actually say every other protocol is disabled.

I’m keeping my MFA secrets in keepass, don’t think about password manager compromise

It’s less progressive, more experimental. They’re testing how concentrated power can become within a ruling class before it implodes. Unless a force like it puts its weight on the scales, we know monarchies will be overthrown. But a system in which the ruling class is diffuse enough that nobody is essential and they’re all individually totally disposable and replaceable is insidious.

Like project manager, scrum master. That kind of shit is what I think of. They exist because technical people and upper management don’t interface well typically, obviously those management jobs are also more or less email jobs but they’re rarer.

Centralia is fun.

Three Mile is undisputed PA Chernobyl for me. My family were friends with another, the mother & daughter of which were from Philly but just happened to be a few miles from Three Mile the day things went down. Both of them developed breast cancer decades apart, with no prior family history

A new stage where it’s just getting more obviously hypocritical - Russiagate set the stage for the Chinese software panic that’s really highlighting it. Before it was just the CIA ruining someone’s life or killing them for investigating elite crimes or resisting, and having backdoors for the data collection in telecom/big tech.

I’ve always figured Telegram was some weird NATO thing, so I figured that arrest isn’t really that special. It was either knowingly or unwittingly a honeypot for a decade, by not really protecting anything while operating with relative impunity from places like Dubai, the Caribbean, and France…

In theory it’s “resistable” if a lot of people were ready to replace their technology platforms with decentralized ones, with webs of trust for identity (cryptography nerd in me has to mention that we can make digital signatures today which do not necessarily authenticate a statement is from a specific person, but it’s at least been made by someone that we all know, however we know each other, and federate from there if needed). Would be nice if this and other things turned into a systemic change because yeah even the meshnets and shit are still censorsable, if there’s not enough resistance.

if it’s purely a scheduling problem then “salaried” positions w/o time sheets/overtime can sometimes work out

can be cheaper to be on parents’ coverage while 26yo and below but I don’t think they’re required legally to add children which is interesting

One of the cottages outside Ironforge for me when I was like 14. During a Horde raid of the city, no idea what I was. I think a shaman or something and morphed lmao

I’ve only read capitalist realism but some of Mark Fisher’s other stuff gets into this
