Microsoft does this to our users at my job. They go to charge their password and it won’t accept it but won’t tell them what the requirements are. “Your password doesn’t meet our criteria.” Okay, so what are you looking for???

Worst is that there seems to be a soft block at some point and instead of telling them that, it shows this dumb error instead over and over again no matter what password they choose.

Reminds me of one time I got a really popular post on mildlyinteresting with thousands of upvotes and nearly every comment was positive and engaging towards my picture. Was becoming a really fun conversation with everyone and people had their own stories to share and questions to ask me and I even learned some new things.

Then ONE random guy comes along and quotes one of the rules saying “this is just a picture of X. Not interesting. Breaks Rule Z.” I go through his post history and he has nothing but this on multiple posts all over Reddit. He’s not even a mod anywhere! Just a random dude going around calling out posts for random rules. A few minutes later, my post gets taken down citing that rule he quoted. I decide he’s a fucking weirdo and I’d like to post his history on another sub, can’t remember which sub, and I censor his username but show the weird ass comments he makes and note that he isn’t a mod, just a guy who goes around snitching on people. That post starts getting traction and people are upvoting it and calling the unknown user a weirdo, etc. He followed me through my post history to that post and commented on it and reported it and those mods took it down because it was supposedly harassing him despite me making no mentions of who this user was. The guy outed himself!

Tyrannical mods are one thing, but they even got regular users being tyrants too! Lol

Happens to me in meetings all the time. I messed it up for my team a few months ago and my manager had me and a few others turn on our cameras because he thought I wasn’t paying attention.

I kind of was, but kind of wasn’t. It’s hard in a meeting of 9 people who spend 5 minutes each talking about things that have nothing to do with me but I have to pay attention in case I do have input to share.

I just spent a few minutes browsing and it was pretty fun! Love the very minimalist design and no requirements to sign up, etc. Just straight to the point for both those asking and those selecting.

Nice job all around!

This was me and my friend with Who Made the Potatoe Salad for many years. I remember this lady who lived in my grandparents’ house had a bootleg copy of it and I watched it and it was funny while my friend had seen it too. But we lost both of our copies of it. I found the bootleg DVD case and was so excited until I opened it and found it was blank.

I could find the movie online and see it actually existed and had been released at some time, but couldn’t find it anywhere. Not even sailing the seas got me any results except fake listings.

Then one day last year, I found a single listing uploaded to a pirate site and it had some leeches. I began the slow download at night and woke up the next morning to it fully downloaded! I couldn’t believe it.

I watched it the next day and honestly it was funnier than I remembered. It wasn’t the best movie I ever saw, but it was well worth the wait.

Crazy how a movie can just go missing like that in this digital age. Not even second hand copies on eBay.

Makes me wish I could camp on the Martian surface and see this when exiting the tent.

Yeah I’m not sure if it’s confirmation bias for me, but I always see cars with this sign doing the dumbest shit on the road. I’ve always chalked it up to self important people who think being a parent means they’re God’s gift to humanity, but I like your optimistic view on it better.

Do you have any antivirus apps on your phone or anything that uses a VPN? Perhaps your Internet traffic is getting rerouted out and it’s getting blocked for some reason specifically on DDG.

Have you tried another web browser like Chrome just to rule out the issue with Firefox? Any addons to Firefox that could be doing this? Have you tried going through a private browser window?

I hope it has good range. I’ve always wanted a Golf and was seriously checking these out when I wanted an EV years ago but the range was horrendous and it seemed like VW just gave up on it after a while.

Check out Mac Glocky on YouTube. He does a ton of these kind of videos, usually stuff like “If Incubus Wrote Duality (by Slipknot)” https://youtu.be/clOIfjVWJqA which are fantastic renditions. He also does harder versions of softer songs like “If Korn wrote a thousand miles” https://youtu.be/sIzaPb3T-Zo which are equally as awesome, even though you didn’t ask.

There are a ton of acoustic renditioners on YouTube who are great at this. I’m heavy into Tool, so a lot of these cater to making softer covers of those songs but they also do other artists too:

Loved him in Strange Wilderness. RIP

Oh yeah I am too, thanks! Was just curious, thank you!

I wish I could have seen what these looked like filled with people and the day to day life of someone here. I’m so fascinated with feudal Japan and its culture.

Hey @Alice@hilariouschaos.com are you all good? I wasn’t able to get on for a little while this morning and one of those website down tracker websites said that hilariouschaos.com was down.

Thank you 😊 I feel blessed to have him with me

He’s actually really well behaved lol. Today was the first day I’ve had to scold him in a while because he snuck out of the house when I cracked the door open to leave. But he generally sleeps at the foot of my bed right beside or on top of my feet.

But for the most part, he’s very obedient and kind to me. I taught him as a young kitten to not bite and to instead “ask” for pets. He was an extremely violent kitten! He would always bite. I started scolding him and he would stop and would instead start to just lean in slowly for a bite because he didn’t want to hear me yell and when he would do that, I would scratch his ears or under his chin since his face was already near my hand, which is his favorite place to get scratches. I love touching his paws and he hatesss that. So that was the perfect teaching opportunity, whenever he would lean in to bite, I immediately scratched his chin and he began associating discomfort with redirecting me instead of resorting to biting me. So when he would get those urges to bite, even the love biting, he now just leans in for a scratch and I give him a good scratch under his chin and he goes wild with purring. I also unintentionally taught him to use his paws to grab my hand to ask for pets too, so he does that instead of biting too and will try to get me to not stop scratching his chin. I think that came from me touching his paws and he associated that with scratches so he does that to “ask” for scratches. He often reaches up with his little paws to demand scratches while I’m working from home even in meetings.

He bit me on my foot once a few months ago but I could tell it was because I was petting him with my foot and he wasn’t enjoying it and in hindsight, I think I wasn’t paying enough attention to his warnings to ask me to stop. I can’t remember the last time he tried biting me before that.

He was declawed many years ago by my parents when I lived with them, so scratching hasn’t been an issue. That’s the reason I’m very strict about him being outside because we have owls and coyotes and other cats and he can’t defend himself from them like other cats can. I take him outside supervised for a little while each day which has helped our bond too. I can tell he trusts me a lot and will go in when I tell him to even though he loves being outside. So I think he doesn’t want to bite me because of the bond we have too.

I think my cat knows it’s a game when I put my hand under the blanket and swish around on the sheets. He especially likes it when the hand reaches over the side of the bed and he can see it move partially and hears that sound of hand swishes across a sheet.

His eyes widen up and he slouches down in attack mode and waits for the kill. But he’s gentle when he goes in for the kill, only grabbing on and then letting go. I give him some scratches and grab him up to hug him close as I scratch him all over his head as a reward.

Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here.

Glad they have their priorities in order. I was really bothered by that G I never pay attention to.

I meant like when there’s a random song playing from shuffle, I used to be able to tell Siri “play this album” or “what album is this song from” and she would play the full album or tell me what album the song came from. No longer knows how to do that and tells me something about not knowing how to do that.
