    I do this too. I would need them if I lost my phone, so bitwarden/keepass is a good place for them to be.

    I think it is less secure though since someone who somehow has the unencrypted vault without your 2FA device could get in with the codes - but if someone cracks my master password I’m screwed in a whole bunch of ways so I’m not sure it matters too much at that point.



  • Sweet, I’ll be placing pixels again this year to get us on the Canvas. I feel like we night have fewer active placers than last year but idk. We completed this size fairly early and last year and folks moved to other designs so I bet we can make the same size happen again As for location, we should probably pick a spot after the first hour or so to avoid immediately fighting with another comm

    Definitely a huge overlap but mostly just because these are classic and great tropes from English-language literature. I doubt Dune was a major inspiration for WOT.

    Aes Sedai - Bene - Moirai/Weird Sisters Moiraine is literally named after the Moirai

    Paul/Rand are regular chosen ones with the foreign savior theme of Lawrence/Heart of Darkness added on for good measure








  • Not_Rick has a great answer but I will add something. Your question about the quote you posted is based on a disagreement about what race is, between you and social scientists. The phrase “we can take a DNA test and get our ancestry, telling us what percentage of what races make up our overall ethnicity” already assumes that genetics = race, end of story. But this is an unfounded assumption. All the test can tell is our genetics. Not_Rick offered some good examples for the counterpoint, that genetics ≠ race. If you disagree with that basic premise then you will always be bothered by modern theories on the subject such as CRT.

    Once you see that race clearly is not just genetics, you can start asking what it truly is and what things do determine one’s race. These are much more interesting questions. For example, a new question might be ‘what has been the historical relationship between ethnicity and “being white” in the US’? And let’s not even start on the ridiculousness that is the census form.
