  • Realistic hacking scenes would be funny.

    “Okay I’m in”

    “Wait… how?”

    “Oh I figured out the default passwords and naming conventions for new employees awhile ago.”

    Funnily enough I got my college to change password policies because for a report for one of my classes I wrote about how stupid it was that all new users passwords were First intial + last initial + last four of social security number, with usernames being firstname + lastname + year. Since they had no max number of attempts on logins, and didn’t prompt you to change password on logging in, it took a few minutes to get into anyone’s account once you knew their name. (That school was very incompetent, and they are closed now)

    OR

    “Give me 20 minutes, I’m on hold with IT. They’ll reset the password and tell me it if I give them an employee ID, dob, and name. Which I see clearly on this guys facebook picture where he has his badge visibile.”

    Or a hacking guy trying to brute force for days. Then the “no nonsense” guy goes out for 20 minutes, and comes back with it and refused to answer questions. Oh wait… that’s just XKCD.



  • Seeing a movie where they flip in a practice dummy and actually make me feel like they broke ribs to make it happen would be legit.

    If the ribs aren’t bending, ain’t no way the heart is pumping!

    Also having the CRP patient be absolutely trashed afterwards. If you’re getting CPR, it’s cause you dead, and they are trying to bring you back to life by beating life back into you. You were dead, then got probably the most painful beating of your life. The rest of the movie should be you recovering in a hospital.




  • I wonder if movies is why people seem to scoff at my mom’s allergies. She is “deathly” allergic to Cilantro and Coriander, so more than once people told her stuff like “Don’t worry just eat around it” or “we’ll put it on the side”

    MAM. Her throat is closing, we are sticking an epi pen, and heading to the hospital if any gets in her mouth. If you can’t accommodate her, let her know and we will leave. But it’s severe enough that if a lot of fresh cilantro is being used, she has to leave or she’ll start having symptoms. Basically if you can clearly smell cilantro, then enough is in the air that she’s going to start coughing and wheezing and normally takes 2-3 days of her feeling garbage. Same exact case for my sister who is deathly allergic to red onions.

    I never understood why some people think so little of “My throat will close if I eat this thing”, but maybe it’s TV where they treat it like lactose intolerance, where it’s fine if you just take the meds with it?

    IDK man, but it’s tilting.












  • I mean lots of things are ADHD things, that alone are completely normal! It’s usually the combination or severity of things that lead to something being considered that needs treatment.

    If you find that you are struggling to take care of responsibilities or enjoy life, I always suggest talking to doctor/counselors. Could be ADHD, could be need coping mechanism, could be something else. IDK. But life should be enjoyed and doing adult responsibilities shouldn’t feel like ripping out finger nails (so I’ve been told)
