It Have Been A Stupid And Outdated Thing For More Than A Decade.

It have been a stupid and outdated thing for more than a decade.

It is a security measure that relies on humans being 100% reliable and able to generate passwords with no patterns.

Meanin, it does not work. Any place that requires this have people who decide security policies who knows nothing about security and are not in contact with the security community

I fucking hate forced password rotation, and I have no proof for this (personal speculation) but I think it's probably a shitty security measure.

Like. I only have so many passwords in me. If you force me to change my password every couple months then eventually imma give up and start coming up with ones that barely fulfill the password strength requirements just to get that shit over with.

Like idk from a data security standpoint I think it's probably better to have your employees stick with one good password than go through six mediocre ones a year.

Honestly? Write Hank about this.

Like. I promise you, he WILL care

The fact that that scishow hrt video kind of quips outright about no one on the writing team taking feminizing hormones is what baffles me like was that not embarrassing to say? I feel like if a big science youtube channel made a video about a more general health topic and half way through implied that there were no women on the writing team you'd be like. "okay why are you joking about that. That kind of calls into question the accuracy of the information you're presenting and also the kind of workplace that is going on behind the scenes". But when it's specially about trans stuff they can just be like yeah we didn't speak to any trans women about that first part lol.

This is sorta what I do

I spend less time on my tasks than most

Do not tell people about it. Spend the extra time reading documentation and the codebases. Taking screenshots. Making presentations.

And then I make my case that the company is shit in way X.

And when doubted, I have evidence. Nicely presented and alphabetically sorted.

It is a cheap attack on nonmonogamy. I have also heard "ethical polyamory. When I asked what the heck that was, I was told "polyamory but where everyone involved is consenting and in the know".

Basically the idea being made is:

Monogamy is ethical, normal and good by default.

But non monogamy is corrupting, unethical and destructive by default. So you MUST specify that the one you are talking about is ethical. Because he default is unethical.

In short, it is bullshit

The term "ethical nonmonogamy" confuses me. Like is that just a weird way of saying polyamory/dating but not having sex monogamously or is it something else and I'm totally off base?

Jealousy is like pain.

When you or your friends feel pain, you do 2 things.

1. You deal with the pain here and now. Taking painkillers for example.

2: You try to figure out why there is pain. Did your turn around wrong? Did you touch something sharp?

Do the exact same for jealousy

1: Treat it here and now. Tell your partners and when told, tell them they are loved, that they are safe. Hug them, comfort them.

2: Try to figure out why you are jealous. Are you afraid of getting left behind? Are you scared of loosing control over your partner?

Once you have an idea, you and your partners can take the time to reassure those fears. Having a rule about writing a message at certain times when going on a date with someone else. Having as many date nights with you as with anyone else.

But most importantly. TALKING about your jealousy with your partners.

Because that makes it slowly go away.

In monogamous OR polygamous relationships.
