For what it's worth, as a northeastern US liberal who has adopted y'all as an inclusive way to address people, this type of reaction is one of the things that has led to Trumpism.

A bit more temperance before you condemn tons of people based on something open for interpretation like this might be a worthwhile thing to consider going forward.

At what point do we start to discuss how evil the Russian regime is? I mean, this is feeling like we are approaching the lines in the sand that we drew after WWII, if we haven't already blown past them.

I have no desire to lose more lives, but this is evil. How can any country support Russia in this?

FWIW: these types of password rules are discouraged by NIST -

  1. Eliminate Periodic Resets

Many companies ask their users to reset their passwords every few months, thinking that any unauthorized person who obtained a user’s password will soon be locked out. However, frequent password changes can actually make security worse.

It’s difficult enough to remember one good password a year. And since users often have numerous passwords to remember already, they often resort to changing their passwords in predictable patterns, such as adding a single character to the end of their last password or replacing a letter with a symbol that looks like it (such as $ instead of S).

So if an attacker already knows a user’s previous password, it won’t be difficult to crack the new one. The NIST guidelines state that periodic password-change requirements should be removed for this reason.

If Evergrande even actually built it.

I wasn't prepared for that. The views. Wow.

I'm not an expert, but I think kbin could implement UI to allow you to view events (things) from those other instances.

I assume right now kbin is only looking at a handful of the types of stuff that can be shared in the fediverse.

At least, that's my layman's understanding right now.

I am an 80s child, my friend. I have seen Krull more than once. I understand what I am saying.

Yeah ... have we forgotten who JJ Abrams is?

I hear you.

Just remember that we know so much more about everything that happens on the earth than even just a few decades ago.

Things have always been bad everywhere, we just didn't all have to hear about it every single day.

I say this just so you can maybe temper some of your feelings to make sure you're accounting for that difference.

Agree. However, if we get to the general and it's far right or democrat, I hope people choose the ancient democrat to the more fascism-friendly alternative.

I hear you, but they didn't timewarp from the late 90s to today, either. 2014 would have been a good time to think carefully about their defensive coalition membership.

Edit: I want to finish by saying I wish the US lived up to our ideals more often and that I also wish Armenia had better protection through their defense pacts.

Thinking about this more and it'd make more sense: a Ferengi that believed in giving gifts would certainly be banished, maybe he brought his message of giving to Earth....
