Sometimes I have even thrown it out with the tupperware because it’s gotten so bad that opening that container would probably poison everything in a 100m radius.
I know I’ll probably get downvoted for saying this, but the amount of hate he got for doing this was about as unwarranted as Obama’s white suit episode.
There was a government shutdown and the White House catering staff was on unpaid leave. And he was hosting a football team, not some delegation of international politicians. He basically did what anyone else would do if they have an unexpected visit and no food in the house. His guests had no complaints either, only the press hated it.
Im not going to bother looking for it but there are videos of the players coming into the room and one of them is heard asking if this was a joke/real. They were dressed up for fine dining at a respected instituition, not a family BBQ at the park.
At the White House? Yes. Like, literally, are you a fucking dumbass? How hard in the head were you hit as a child? Or are you just the trashiest of trailer trash that’s ever existed?
I don’t think anyone would really even remember if he hadn’t written hAmBeRdEr. No one was talking for weeks about how this incident clearly made him an inappropriate president. We laughed and moved on for the most part. Not remotely the same as the tan suit “incident”.
It wasn’t the fact that it looked good on him that he got crap for, it was the question whether it was appropriate for the occasion (a press conference discussing the potential escalation of military strikes in Syria).
Tradition demands that you wear a dark suit for something as serious as discussing the sacrifice of other people’s lives. A tan suit has more of a lighthearted vibe and is therefore something you’d wear to a festivity, not when discussing drone strikes.
He basically did what anyone else would do if they have an unexpected visit and no food in the house.
And this would be understandable if he were a middle class housewife. But this is the US president, during a shutdown caused by Trump. There should have been any number of restaurants that would have dropped everything to fill an order for the White House. This entire episode was just an embarrassment.
A middle class family couldn’t afford this much McDonald’s. They’d also have more taste and class than to serve this.
Agreed they could call many restaurants that offer catering. Or, he, his wife, or any of his adult children could have made a home cooked meal for stellar optics instead of this travesty.
Fat fucking chance I’m eating a home cooked meal made by Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric. It would be fucking boiled potatoes, plain canned corn and green beans, and overcooked New York strip steaks.
He could’ve just as easily hired someone to cater and make good food, instead he spent $5000 on fast food because he thinks that’s what college football players prefer.
Also, Trump was the reason for the government shutdown because he wanted funding for his bullshit border wall.
Yeah you’ll get downvoted, because spending 5k on cold hamburgers from McDonald’s ist not something anybody would do. It’s something an idiot would do. Everyone with two brain cells would have started calling large restaurants or catering providers and ask them if they can make something happen.
I’m not even a Trumper, I don’t care if he’s re-elected or not, but he certainly wasn’t as terrible a president as everyone says. Most of the drama was just the media making flies into elephants.
Yes, because Trump and his people are anti-vaxxers who have convinced their legions to never vaccinate or wear a mask and they keep dying. And Biden has never suggested a bleach cure.
Trump supported the vaccine you idiot. It was the Democrats who were against it while he was in office, and then promptly wanted to make the very same vaccine mandatory as soon as Biden took over.
Sorry, stopped reading at the insult. I have no interest in Reddit-style behavior. If you want to talk to me with the courtesy I have afforded you, I will go back and read the rest of your post.
I have a feeling this will be replied to with another insult.
I didn’t call you an idiot for criticizing Trump, I called you an idiot for bringing it up as a criticism against Trump even though far more people died of it under Biden’s watch.
I don't get this. Is this an SMS-based 2FA? If so, I'm not sure that Google has any ability to block that. Your carrier might, though, but that wouldn't be controlled by your device's OS. The option being greyed out on a third-party site has little to do with anything happening locally on your device.
If this is a push-based 2FA, then... yeah, you wiped the device, along with any tokens previously stored on it. This is also why any time you set up 2FA on any service, almost all of them warn you like a million times "If you lose or transfer your device before disabling 2FA, you will lose access to your account" before you complete the process.
This is different. This is something new google is rolling out. This isn’t SMS and it isn’t TOTP. Google is opting people into push based authentication based solely on them having an android phone associated with their account whether they’re still using that phone or not. Anyone not already using TOTP or WebAuthN should really add those to their accounts before Google decides to “help” you by opting you into their new proprietary 2FA.
The problem is they are turning OFF the SMS and instead sending a special dialogue to a nonexistent device for the user to hit a prompt. The device was never used, though, and it was never set up for 2FA. My default has always been SMS which they are now disabling.
Deprecating SMS authentication is a good thing, in all honesty. SMS is not a secure form of data transfer, and is trivially intercepted. You can buy and setup an illegal Stingray device relatively easily, and capture basically all wireless data from a phone within range.
That said, if the device was truly never used for 2FA, then there wouldn't be any push-based 2FA on the account to begin with. Unless there's another device that's been authenticated with your account somewhere, like an old phone. In which case, that's where your login requests are being pushed to. That's a setting that can only be enabled by successfully authenticating with a device at least once in the past.
If there was never any other authenticated device, then that setting on your account isn't there. Enabling that feature is a two-step process, and step 1 involves configuration on a local device before it can be enabled remotely on your account.
SMS could potentially be a secure form of Data Transfer if companies weren’t allowed by limp dinosaur legislators to gut your phone for any useable data with a simple app, but yeah I can see how it’s current state is lackluster.
You’re wrong, btw, the Google Prompts feature is Default and cannot be turned off.
Only if there's a previously-authenticated device. That setting can't be enabled without a key, and one of the required keys is produced locally by a logged-in device (which is why your device is trusted to stay logged in indefinitely). If enabled without a key, it's nonfunctional and should error itself out and revert to a disabled state.
If that somehow hasn't happened (which, in all honesty, would be very surprising to learn) and the setting is enabled on your account, then that'd be something you'd need to submit a request to Google to have fixed, otherwise you have zero recovery on that account.
Are you a thousand percent sure you've never had any other device logged into that Google account? When you attempt to log in, it should show you the device name it's sending the request to. For instance, when I log into my Gmail from an Incognito window right now, it says to check my Pixel 6 Pro. What's it saying for you?
Right. I think you can see where I'm going with this. The fact that you're being dodgy with the question is making me question your motives with this post.
So, what device? You don't have to tell me the name, but describe it to me. Is it the device that you flashed a new OS onto?
It’s not constructive to answer your question instead of explain the situation to you for the 8th time. There is only one device and it was wiped and can never be recovered, not even by restoring the OS, but the Google Prompt is still the default option forever now. I found this mildly infuriating.
The best solution is to use something like Google Auth since only the SMS is being phased out. Do you understand now or de we need to repeat this again and again?
So, when you said "The device has never existed", you realize how that was a bit misleading, right? The way you've been presenting this situation would suggest that Google enabled 2FA in an impossible manner.
The device existed. You ignored the warnings and wiped the device before transferring your authentication elsewhere. There's plenty of things to be critical of Google over, but flagrant user error like this isn't one of them.
The SMS vulnerability is not because of your apps. It’s because of the LTE protocol itself. It can be intercepted or redirected without touching your phone.
It may be true for ‘soldier’ plants. However there are thousands of plant species that can’t be both efficiently mass produced and shipped while still being of good quality. So you get a bad produce, very costly produce or both.
I can’t afford fresh Basil leaves, I maintained a plant in my kitchen in some of the apartments I lived in. The current one doesn’t have enough sun. It took 10 minutes of work to arrange and emptying left over water.
Also, if you never tasted cherry tomatoes straight from the plant you don’t what you are missing, and how shity is the produce in the market.
It sounds like you live in the US or something. Tomatoes from the market should be freshly picked overnight to be sold early in the morning. There’s literally no difference.
I just don’t live near a tomatoes field, however, it’s not just time, perfectly ripe tomatoes don’t survive transportation well. So mass production of tomatoes requires the picking of less ripe fruit.
I used to grow tomatoes myself and then transport them 80km away to my family. No issues there. They can survive a lot, especially if you have a refrigerated truck.
I worked a few summers on a commercial organic farm and for many years in a small family plot. Maybe we are talking about different scales of transportation, quality control or different species of tomatoes.
I can’t afford fresh Basil leaves, I maintained a plant in my kitchen in some of the apartments I lived in. The current one doesn’t have enough sun. It took 10 minutes of work to arrange and emptying left over water.
The basil plants you buy in grocery stores are designed to die after a while. It’s not lack of sun or water, it’s because there are just way too many plants in the tiny pot and basil does not like to be root-bound. They basically strangle themselves to death.
You can easily propagate the plant through cuttings or you can separate the grown plants and re-pot them in smaller groups.
Yea, I had Basil im some apartments. The current one has no sun at-all. Basil needs some. But when I bought plants my father guided me how to split them. Gifted my friends, don’t need more then one.
I used to hate tomatoes, then I tried home-grown and just realized grocery store tomatoes often suck by comparison. There are many plants that don’t store/ship well so you either can’t get them in stores (e.g. pawpaws) or they taste bad because of short shelf life/bruising.
I went back and looked at some of your posts on this thread because I was thinking “they can’t really be that unimaginative” and lo and behold, it’s true, you can be!
Honestly way less afraid of China snooping on my data than US corporations. Only one of those groups regularly colludes with the FBI/CIA/other three letter agencies.
So… you get room service? Like… how far do these workers stay from these rooms? Can they see you pee and take a dump? Where do you clean yourself? Do you get a refund if it rains? Is a simple hotel room somewhere nearby cheaper than this gourmet outdoor experience?
The beds are outside in the countryside, usually on fields that are owned by the farmers who offer the “rooms”, so they’re a bit secluded.
You’re brought there by said farmer, he shows you around a bit, shows the fridge, etc. Then he leaves again.
If you need any room service, you just call up the farmer and he comes back to bring it.
No idea about toilets, but I think you’d also have to walk back to the farm. Same if it rains. Pretty much all of those openair hotels are ran by those kinds of farmers anyway, who were used to hotel guests as they’ve been offering “sleeping in the hey” kinda things since years, so for them, it’s pretty much the same, except being a little (sometimes a lot) further away and being logistically a bit more challenging.
You must live in western Oregon then, because practically the entire eastern half of Oregon counties have approved ballot measures to secede from the state and join Idaho.
It shows how much people are fueled by culture war nonsense in rural Oregon. I lived in one of the counties that voted to join Idaho and I never heard a single reason from anybody that was reasonable. It was all based on far right talking points about transing the kids or taking the guns. Meanwhile stuff like minimum wage that would actually affect everyone was just ignored.
You don’t have to be stupid to fall victim to propaganda. It happens to literally everyone, every single living human being, in the modern age. We are being assaulted from all sides at all times with conflicting information.
Yes but that doesn’t mean everyone who votes a certain way is a victim of propaganda. Believe it or not, it’s actually possible to take in the arguments from both sides and then make up your mind independently of what those around you think.
Seeing as though most of eastern Oregon is predominantly agricultural, I don’t see how anti-working class fits in the picture.
The remainder are just weaponized political buzzwords designed to inspire people to hatred. One could just as well say pro-liberty, pro-life, and pro-family.
The anti working class might be a bit of the stretch, but for the rest, they say as much on their website. They don’t like:
Critical Race Theory, Males in Girls Sport Leagues, COVID rules, carbon caps, illegals (they mention illegals 3 times), abortion, and my favorite one “Fossil fuels being phased out”
Yea idk, when I disagree with something it’s usually because I’ve given it the chance to convince me and it failed. And if I agree with something it’s because I’ve taken the time to understand it. It would be a bit weird to not feel like things I agree with are the right, or better, direction and that the things I disagree with are somehow broken in their reasoning.
That’s supremely condescending. You could help me understand but instead you’re literally just doing what you say others do, assuming anyone who doesn’t believe the same way you do isn’t thinking about it long enough.
Well, let’s say I had a feeling that if I had answered “yes, basically”, then you might have given a condescending response instead. Apologies if I misjudged you.
And no, I’m not suggesting that everyone believe exactly as I do, merely that it is possible to change your beliefs regardless of evidence. Propaganda makes use of this all the time.
Then it sounds like I also misjudged you. I probably saw a subtext that you were wanting the earlier commenter to believe the way you did and that they just hadn’t tried hard enough. Probably just a disconnect at the “if at first you don’t succeed” part.
