Don’t worry, this one is kind of fun and interesting.
I’ve been getting a Passwords Compromised notice in my browser for months. I’ve ignored it, as I suspect most people do.
Let’s face it, with every website demanding that you create an account, and so many of those websites being hacked almost instantly, you just stop paying attention.
For some reason, perhaps it’s that I’m cranky, this morning I decided to explore the websites that were compromised and change passwords or delete accounts.
I’m heavily favoring the latter over the former.
Anyhoo…
I was surprised to note that on a lot of the “compromised websites”, my passwords were obscenities.
I know how most of these obscenities came to be my passwords. It’s about frustration and annoyance. In most situations, I was trying to take care of something completely unrelated to passwords and the website in question decided to force a password change.
Thus derailing my intent and turning what should have been a 90 second interaction into a tour de force of guessing what combination of letter, symbols, number, and special characters would please the website, allowing me to do what I’d accessed the website to do to begin with. That is, if I remembered what I’d gone to the site for in the first place.
Apparently “FuckYou96&yourmother^$#” Is commonly used. Who Knew?
“BlowMECocksuckers!-2021” and “LickMyFilthyhole-Asshole!9000” are also common.
This suggests that I’m not the only person who has become sick and tired of Websites, Their demanding that accounts be created, and “Secure” passwords.
Of the 36 websites whose passwords were compromised in various data leaks, I now have 16 left.
I’ve deleted the others. Honestly, do I really need a password and an account to confirm a haircut appointment? Uh, NOPE!
Since I canceled Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu. There was no need for their residual threads to be stored in my browser, so I deleted them. The same with T-Mobile.
I was looking at a credit card login that used to work really well, then the rights to the card were purchased by another company and the new company website has never worked.
There’s no reason for me to maintain that login… Or that credit card account for that matter. I haven’t closed the account yet, but that day is coming and I’m looking forward to it.
The last stored password for that website is embarrassingly filthy! Which speaks to my frustration with the site, the creditor, and their offshore “customer service”.
Oh, that embarrassingly filthy password? It’s on the list of passwords that have appeared in various data breaches. Again, apparently I’m not alone in losing my temper trying to reset passwords.
Then there are those passwords that have been “Reused”. Except they’re not. Some of the banking sites are a conglomeration of websites with different domain names but who all use the same initial login.
These poorly designed banking sites trip the security settings because you have no choice but to reuse passwords due to the way the sites work.
I would argue that these sites create a laissez-faire attitude because they cause end users to be endlessly warned about something they have no control over. Which results in the users being far more likely to ignore all warnings about passwords that their browser may present.
This is how someone like me ends up with 36 warnings that have gone ignored for months, years, decades?
Don’t get me started about cookies. More precisely, don’t get me started about the cookie notifications or the sites that feel it’s necessary to give you cookie notifications daily, monthly or anytime something changes on the site. (Yes, I know this site does that. Thank the EU!)
It looks like I’m not going to be able to delete these other sites for a while, so I’ll have to continue ignoring the warnings, or actually waste a ton of time changing the passwords. Ugh! That means I’ll be using the automatic password generator a lot.
You’d think that would make it easier but it doesn’t because it seems that the website designers create obstacles designed to prevent password generators from working.
I suppose I need to decide if I’m cranky enough that I don’t want to do anything else but mess with websites and passwords, or ignore the whole mess and do something else that I’d prefer to do.
Uh Huh, I’ll bet they are.
That would have given the Sunday Morning chat hosts something to whine about.
CNN Your source for stupid bitches!
There’s a report that Biden’s X/Twitter account called Trump a wannabe Dictator minutes before the assassination attempt.
In fact it looks kinda like they’re reversing course because the assassination failed, what would they have been saying if Trump was assassinated? 
That you or I are uncertain about the answer, suggests an uncomfortable truth.
While I don’t particularly care for Alex Jones, he’s kinda the poster boy for what happens when you say something powerful people don’t like.
The difference is that Jones, reached tons of people, Jones hurt people’s feelings, Jones may have on more than one occasion correctly called out other shit the government did, that the government didn’t want to be well known.
One, is a leftist, the other is rightwing. 
There is a 
There was a time when any threat against any sitting president would get you arrested, handcuffed to a chair naked, sprayed with ice water occasionally, all while answering questions from the FBI and Secret Service, then you’d get to spend time in front of a judge.
Now those same actors, politicians, media whores, and talk show hosts are expressing their outrage about rhetoric and they’re trying to make it sound like Trump, MAGA, and their fevered dreams of some boogy man white supremacist army, 
CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, and CBS would all be broadcasting images of empty sets and anchor chairs with shots echoing in the background.
We don’t believe the ends justify the means. We still have some semblance of moral code and our moral compasses point mostly North. We believe in the rule of law.
Even when the law has been perverted and twisted in the pursuit of destroying one man, we believe that a higher court will see justice done.
I should also point out that independent state audits of election results in Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania have recently concluded there were miscounts and large numbers of illegitimate ballots. The significance of these conclusions is yet to be determined.
Trump has been censored by big tech. For that matter, so have Average Americans.
Trump has been Impeached twice
Trump is accused of being Hitler
The Biden campaign, the day before Trump was shot, tweeted something about Trump being equal to Hitler.
Biden loves to threaten that he’s going to use military forces on 1/2 of the United States population should they rise up against his ridiculous administration. He loves to point out AR-15s are ineffective against F-16s. I realize this is a statement of fact, probably the only true thing Biden has said in decades, but honestly, I can’t help but take it as a threat. Oh, and he’d have to violate The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 that prevents use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies. I suspect that is why Biden refers to MAGA, and White Supremacists as a “Clear and Present Danger”. That’s probably the only way his administration could get around The Posse Comitatus Act.
Biden destroyed morale in the border patrol and reduced their effectiveness, then increased the number of migrant deaths at the border when he falsely accused Texas border agents of “Strapping” migrants from horseback. Biden was wrong, he’s never apologized, and Texas border patrol can’t use horses anymore. But wait, there’s more. The immigrants in question were Haitian and the Biden administration was returning Haitians to Haiti so the Haitians thought for a moment the Biden administration would be lenient and merciful but “NO” Haitians get deported.
Let’s not forget that during COVID, actors, politicians, media whores, and talk show hosts were calling for anyone who was vaccine hesitant to be placed in re-education camps, “For the greater good”. Biden was calling those people “Dangers and Piriahs” on TV weekly.
By the way, the actors, politicians, media whores, talk show hosts, and doctors who were so happy to walk all over our freedom and right to bodily autonomy. Who were so happy to demand actions in violation of the Nuremberg code, now would like for everyone to forgive and forget their complicity in what honestly might have been a crime against humanity.
All of this, every bit of the events of the past 8 or so years, would been enough, in a lesser country, to have triggered a violent coup d’état.
