  • They’re probably assuming the chats aren’t encrypted because telegram doesn’t encrypt those. Source

    Multi-device End-to-end encrypted chats are a mess

    The concept of End-to-End Encryption has no limits for the number of communicating devices. However, if you want to access your end-to-end encrypted chats from multiple devices, you’re facing many technical difficulties, especially when it comes to connecting new devices, loading chat history and restoring backups.

    Most of our competitors (notably, Whatsapp and iMessage) solve these problems in ways that make their end-to-end encryption useless (this is a big topic, so requires a separate manual [poster note, that link goes to a ‘manual’ that hasn’t been filled out lol]). To solve them in a secure way, you’d have to sacrifice usability and some of the features you’re used to – the result would never be as fluent and simple as what we offer in Cloud Chats.

    Telegram says they don’t encrypt them and tries to imply that people who actually know how to use cryptography failed to solve this problem because they couldn’t solve it with their shitty self rolled ‘encryption’ algo that hasn’t been peer reviewed (unlike the signal protocol)



  • I love her and am not interested in anybody else while she claims I should just find somebody else while getting very aggressive when the opportunity presents itself. (I obviously don’t partake)

    Friend, have you considered that your wife may be asexual and gets nothing from sex? Or potentially is dysphoric about her body/sex? Asking because I have friends like this (and a partner to a much lesser extent).

    I would seriously consider taking your wife up on the offer, if for no other reason than to make sure your needs are being met, which is very important. I know you love your wife and don’t see interest in others, but a dead bedroom can generate all kinds of resentment that your kids most definitely will see. My wife’s parents had a relationship that sounded very similar to what you described, and it blew up like 3-5 years ago and we’re still dealing with the aftermath, including mom going bugfuck and developing Munchausen’s.

    I would at least find a therapist and discuss it with them. Your needs are important too, and there are ways to get those met without sacrificing the relationship or disrupting things too much for the kids.



  • While accurate, that’s also misleading. While true, there is not a single American education system, there are certain federal regulations, and the disparate systems tend to all use the same or similar books. The fun part of that is that large states like texas can influence what is(n’t) printed in them, which affects just about all districts. The educational quality received by students across the country is degraded by the politics of one of the largest Republican states.


  • My wife (who has DOCUMENTED NUT ALLERGIES and told them about it) was put into the bakery and expected to pull all the frozen stuff to thaw before being baked.

    Anyone see an issue with putting a worker with a nut allergy in the bakery? Because they sure as fuck didn’t. They were also very surprised when she no call/no showed to quit after they kept ignoring her complaints and expected her to do the work of 3 people and to train register people when she needed help to get shit done.



  • Wait wait wait wait wait wait…

    Are you trying to tell me that the activists who said for decades that legalizing would reduce youth use because it would be regulating the product and making it harder for the black market to thrive were right this whole time???

    Color me fucking shocked. Next you’re going to tell me that it was really just criminalized because of racism and the right wanting another way to attack and imprison their opponents and minorities.





  • My kid is getting into Minecraft and it’s so hard to not stop their excitement by being like “yeah, I know, I’ve been playing this for longer than you’ve been alive” because I love how excited they get learning about how to make basic shit (and they’re playing ATM10,so there’s a TON of shit they haven’t even come close to seeing) and sharing that with me.



  • My sisters girlfriend tips at places like dairy Queen, which is just fucking mental to me. Why are we tipping at regular minimum wage places now???

    Tipping culture is out of control, and this is just more corporate greed further exploring an already massively exploitative practice. I tip for people who make sub-minimum tipped wages, and that’s begrudgingly because I’m expected to supplement the wages of restaurant workers, but fuuuuuuuck doing that to regular wage places. 15-20% at a sit down place is bad enough, but now we gotta fucking help these massive corpo fucks underpay their people and skim off the tips (assuming the workers see any of it)?? No. It’s hard for all of us right now, I get it, but still, no. I just don’t go to those sorts of places really anymore for that reason.
