I feel like when you’re talking corporations, hanlons razor needs to be reversed. Never attribute to stupidity what could be adequately explained by malice. We’ll call it Nolnahs razor.

See that’s the weird part. They stay on my face. I’ve always been a restless sleeper, and I think I just hated waking up blind and disoriented, so I learned to keep them on when asleep.
I’ve been making an active effort to not do so the last… Couple of years I guess. It’s a bit more comfortable when I remove them, but I’d say maybe half the time I still just forgot to take them off.
I don’t know, I have since I was a kid. My eyes are REALLY BAD so I think I just hated waking up blind and disoriented, so I just learned to sleep in them.
I’ve had the exact opposite experience. Last time trying glasses at a local place, they hurt my eyes and couldn’t figure out how to adjust them properly. Every pair I’ve purchased on Zenni has lasted multiple years of me sleeping in them or doing contact sports in them. I still have multiple pairs kicking around my house or car as spares.
You honestly sound very depressed and like you really don’t know what you ARE. Try things, open mindedly, and you may find that some of these things are you, or can be fun regardless. Stop getting in your own way.
Came here just to note this. So close!
Reminds me of Jung’s theory around The Gaze, and how by ourselves we are our own subjects, capable of authoring our own paths, but as soon as another being is introduced and we’re subject to their gaze, their own aspect of being a subject necessarily forces some objectification upon us (and us on them). It’s interesting theory, and a good examination of why some people feel so incredibly uncomfortable with others around.
Funny, for me repeat offenders somehow always had a second request I couldn’t find until 430pm on a Friday. Strange how it always happened. Oh well, sucks to suck.
Glass ampoules definitely still exist for smelling salts and similar. Honestly I assumed it was because they’d eat through most other viable packaging, now I dunno. But they definitely still exist. My roommate has some.
I’m sure that occurs like, at least once every other year right? Should be easy.
Elsewhere, there was a giant hurricane. Demons now roam the world, more than used to at least, but they mostly appear as more unfavorable people. If you run into a big dude with a chunk of iron much too large to be a sword, massive, thick, heavy and far too rough, more a chunk of iron really, he’s not a bad dude, just don’t do anything to his girl.
You also said “often requiring even more human labor than doing things the old fashioned way” - i dare say that’s the part they were countering.
You never know what security holes exist until they’re exploited. Nothing you can really do about that. Security and convenience have always, and will always, be a trade off and a matter of personal acceptability. If you host anything, it will be potentially vulnerable, way less so if you take proper precautions. If you’re not just overtly insecure, you’ll probably be fine, but there’s no way to say for sure.
Tech tried to tell them it was unnecessary, would take forever, and would be expensive. I’d agree with you if, for a second, the customer sounded like they wanted to drop the matter. No, this was the customer absolutely digging their heels in, and the tech did what they could to get an irate woman out of the store.
At a certain point, you have to just let people make their mistakes, and get out of their way. This is exactly how I interpret the situation.
In a customer service setting, often times that’s all you can do. The customer knows what they want, and particularly if there’s money to be made, your employer will require you to do so. It sounds like this place wasn’t exactly like that, but dude said multiple times this was unnecessary, and the customer still wanted it. He told them it’d be long and expensive. And unnecessary. They said do it. At a certain point, we have to trust that the customer really is their best advocate, and just do what they want.
Is it really a scam if you tell them up front the work is unnecessary, you don’t want to do it, and they insist? At a certain point, it’s the customer hoisting themselves by their own petards.
Game theory would lead you, as the tortured, to realize that they’re just going to beat you until death to extract any keys you may or may not have, so the proper answer is to give them 1 and no more. You’re dead anyway, may as well actually protect what you thought was worth protecting. Giving 1 key that opens a dummy vault may get the torturers to stop at you, thinking this lead is a dead one.
If you set it up correctly, this is essentially what it does. You have a disc that is, say, 1tb. It’s encrypted, so without a key, it’s just a bunch of random noise. 2 keys decrypt different vaults, but they each have access to the full space. The files with the proper key get revealed, but the rest just looks like noise still, no way to tell if it’s empty space or if it’s a bunch of files.
This does have an interesting effect. Since both drives share the same space, you can overfill one, and it’ll start overwriting data from the second. Say you have a 1tb drive, and 2 vaults with 400gb spent. If you then go try to write like, 300gb of data to one vault, it’ll allow you to do so, by overwriting 200gb of what the drive thinks is empty space, but is actually encrypted by another key.
It’s been a while since I’ve messed with this tech, and I’m mostly a layman, but this should be a fairly accurate depiction of what’s actually happening.

Cuffed would be more like detained. Not free to leave, because they’re actively investigating, but no charges are being presented. Literally just placed in cuffs while the police do their snooping.
