It was disappointing. I had uber1337 and lost it due to them refusing to let me log back in. That name doesn't mean much now, but it was pretty l33t back then.

Edit: I guess it's actually a pretty stupid name now that there's a taxi company named Uber. Cool, I just made peace with losing that account. Haha!

Sounds like he has a lucrative consulting career in his future.

They wouldn't let me log into a couple of accounts despite having the password, saying that I hadn't used it for awhile and they couldn't verify I was the account owner. Since there was no recovery email set, which was intentional because it was supposed to be an anonymous account, and none of the other information I set was real, they said they can't verify me and won't let me log in. They're pretty insistent that passwords alone aren't acceptable, even when you use all of your real information. Go try to log into Google on a new device from a new location and see what a huge PITA it is.

That's insane. They charge a fucking fortune for lab tests. Who is keeping all the money?

It's not the first time. Besides, they won't even let you log into old accounts that don't have recovery emails and real names set. I lost a couple of really good usernames from the beta era after they rolled out all of their account protection practices. A password isn't good enough for Google.

Thanks for the response! That was very helpful.

I counter with Russia.

For one glorious summer I was a small boat sailing instructor at a summer camp. My life was sitting on the beach and teaching kids to sail. I had a wonderful tan, and sun bleached hair. My life was stress free and wonderful. I got into it by learning how to sail at that very camp, and applying for the job. It paid minimum wage, but it also came with free room and board, and I was a kid, so I didn't really need any money anyways.

It's not a bug. It's them running A/B tests to completely block mobile users that aren't on the app. They've been implementing different versions of this for over a year now. They always lie about what it was. Actually they pretty much habitually lie about all of their tests and changes.

But they had unpleasant young lives.

So did a lot of people, but they didn't get a billion dollars for their troubles.

Also, while it's back breaking work

This is why. It's not so much "these people are dumb" as it is "you don't want to have to do backbreaking labor the rest of your life".

What STEM path is barely getting by? Programmers and engineers are highly sought after employees rn.

The Hamas are bad. They killed over 1000 innocent people in their latest attack, raped a bunch of people, and kidnapped people, including foreign nationals. Their stated goal is the complete destruction of Israel and the Jews. In what circle is genocide for religious purposes and blatant anti-semitism good?

I wonder what magnitude of pressure exists on the surface, if there is such thing. It must be molten from the extreme pressure and gravity. Right?

I wish we could see the center of Jupiter. Is there any land down there?

They will too! My neighborhood murder is enormous, and they keep the airspace clear of bald eagles. If an eagle ever dares enter our neighborhood, the crows flock out of the trees by the hundreds and chase that motherfucker off, cawing all the way. When they're done, they all return to the trees and caw for a good half hour afterwards. My guess is they're talking about how bad ass they are.

And those are enormous advantages. It will also get you a lot more jobs. I see Java jobs everywhere. I barely see C job postings at all.

JavaScript. I can't think of anything else that can be used for everything. It's a back-end language, a front-end language, it can be used for styling and animation, it can be an OOP language or a scripting language, and can make database queries & submissions. Is there another language that is as versatile for website development? I can't think of one.

That's awful. My best friend when I was a kid was subjected to much of the same thing by his mother. He said it was normal in black households. I had other black friends, but I only ever stayed the night at his house, so I can't substantiate his claim. Pretty much every time I was there his mother beat the shit out of him for some petty thing. It didn't seem normal. My mom spanked us, but his mom straight-up beat him.

There are online mental health groups, but idk if they're helpful or toxic. My guess is that they're probably toxic. For me personally, deciding to leave the past in the past, and be myself in the present, is what helped the most with childhood trauma. I hope you can find whatever works for you.

That's so cool. Thank you for sharing. The end result is amazing.
