    I was at a bar once and this woman asked me what I did for a living. After I told her, she asked “Do you remember your dreams?” It really stunned me for a minute and I got pretty sad remembering what I wanted to be when I was growing up. I started to answer, and it turns out, she was just changing the subject and literally just wanted to know if I remember my dreams after I wake up in the morning. 😭

    Google doesn’t let you into your account with your security questions even if you have the password., not anymore. No phone, no email. Which makes email less useful as it has for 30 years been an alternate way to contact people when you don’t have your phone, it gets lost, stolen, breaks, you lose service.

    Fuck you google, never again, Graphene OS first chance.

      Security questions are well known as one of the least secure forms of authentication

        It’s not about keeping your account secure it’s about grabbing commercially valuable personal information they can profit from. If I want to use a phone verification it should be my choice. Never again, fuck all public corporation email sites.

          Oh so THAT’S why Gmail has been nagging me for years to give them my phone number to use as a means of backup ID in case I forget my password. I refuse.

            They took no for an answer? Huh. After I logged onto email with my smartphone they forced me to, when I needed to get into the account for work, that was 10 years back. My other corporate email forced a phone number long before then, even before I had a smartphone, aol.

            They lock me out on the regular if I log in and force me to verify with phone, especially if I haven’t logged on in a while, making them worthless to me now that I found a trustworthy email provider.

    I wanted to invent the tricorder. But I ended up just buying one for $20 for a Halloween costume.

    My backup - work for Compaq, fix CD-ROMs, because lasers were going to be the future!
