I just spent 15 minutes explaining to a customer why he can't have 5 duress codes on his alarm system, he only has duress code slots for 2 on his system which is already more than enough because duress codes are stupid anyway.
To explain, a duress code is basically an alarm system code that works like normal except if you use it to arm or disarm your system it secretly sends the monitoring company a signal that you are acting under duress, send the police.
It is, in theory, a good idea for robberies except no robberies ever work this way. It is Hollywood Castle Doctrine fantasy bullshit nonsense that paranoids obsess over.
And even if you believe you need one, the majority of alarm systems do have one or two code slots for it and we will program for it you if you really want it.
You don't need five codes that work that way you lunatic.
After spending a quarter hour to no avail I gave up, offered to sign him up for open/close reporting for an extra $5/month so we get signals every time it is armed and disarmed by which user code, and our monitoring center will manually flag an extra three code slots as duress codes and treat them as such.
He was happy with that. The idiot.
I mean five different codes seems like way too many?
I could see wanting to change it every so often, but five different codes that all do the same thing?
Knowing how the human brain works you'd probably forget all of them.
i can only assume he wants five different individuals to have their own duress codes
Which is pointless, because why in the world would you have to distinguish which person entered the distress code, when presumably there is already surveillance on the premises that would allow you to identify the individual, never mind things like shift schedules?
because you're paranoid enough to want duress codes in the first place?

my falling dreams sound comical when I describe them but terrifying in the moment. I don't just fall. I fall through things. The ground, floors and floors of a building, a swimming pool, the ground again
etc.
Like a cartoon
awaken, sitting bolt upright in bed and drenched in a cold sweat, the sound of Yakkity Sax still ringing in your ears
I remember in middle school or early high school I dreamed of playing through C&C:Red Alert. I did just finishing playing it all night with my friends.
But I basically replayed like 6 missions from memory in my dream.

I had a dream that I was throwing breaded fish into the toilet and flushing it
I was worried it would clog the toilet but it seemed to be working
What does it mean, chat
Breading fish is a shit way to prepare it?
I will fight you to the death. Fried catfish is one of a handful of things that would keep me from pushing the red button on the south
Huh.
Poorly prepared trash fish is all that's keeping you from annihilating an entire region?
I'll make sure I let that side of my family and all my friends down there know hey don't fuck up and stop making that catfish.
Trash fish? They are bottom feeders, yes. Just like Lobster, but the farm raised catfish market that sells to carpetbaggers to sell in fancy establishments would disagree with the trash adjective
Yeah, and lobsters are sea cockroaches that used to be considered food for the poor until they got popular thanks to being branded a gourmet food item.
Don't get me wrong, I like it well enough and I've had it more ways than I care to count, both farmed and wild. But it is a trash fish, and should be treated as such.
Hence I guess why you're right bread that shit and deep-fry it it's not like there's any complex flavors to be drawn out of it.

I actually did not like this article. It was kind of treading water on the issue, though the idea of nerds being emasculated and retreating to spaces where they can assert masculine traits and then becoming resentful of intrusion into those spaces by the non-masculine is interesting.

I don't fall but I do have floating away dreams.
Start off thinking I have cool flying ability.
Realize I can't actually go back down.
Grab at anything I can before I float away forever
you wouldn't float away forever, at a certain altitude you'd become unconscious and die of asphyxiation
Oh in that case everything is fine.

it's like being in a bethesda game
no, even the npcs in my dreams don't look that dead inside
my dreams are always horribly mundane, kafkaesque affairs
like getting arrested for slamming the door of the police station in a threatening manner and spending the rest of the dream in a cell with nobody telling me how long I'm going to be there

Duress codes only make sense in banking because I wouldn't trust a man in short cutoff jean shorts to give me a home loan.

like i had a body snatchers dream where i was going to a friend's apartment and Tina Fey was there but i was pretty sure they were all pod people and then i ran home and was trying to start a car to drive away while Pod Person Tina Fey started walking towards me

I used to play so much diablo 2 til very late and not sleep enough
a friend stayed over one night and said he heard me say "throwing mastery" in my sleep
Before I read it my opinion was more of a women-hating one (a dated view from when I was in H.S.). Being straight nerds retreat into the traditional nerd realm to escape from the reminder they are largely undesired by the girls in school. It was a catch 22 effect which made us more outsider than otherwise, but in the short term it was comforting.
The solution of course is to destroy all High Schools.

This is not to contradict Pony at all - sometimes a strategy that makes sense in one context doesn't make sense in another context.

But it's never embarrassing. I'm just going about my business or fighting zombies or whatever in the buff.
which i think is reflective of my attitude towards nudity in general

because your real life is often a nightmare
none of this makes any sense
nobody like in n out
that's basically the entire dream
the more banal the dream the more vividly I remember it, I'm sure I've forgotten a thousand dreams involving scarjo
holy shit dude I'm sorry did you get therapy?
Did you riot inside while quietly accepting the new order?

I ate it and drove home, I didn't make it home before waking up
let me repost it so we can make sure
Oh crap should I be shaking his hand

there's no rule against anime except as a discrete thread
that it's very nsfw (and offensive as heck [and banal celebrity social media shitposting]) is an entirely separate issue
