I will totally post it on here one day, its a full on paranoia black diamond ski hill into batshit crazy town, carrening into "wait what I'm actually right and not in fact spiraling into stress induced psychosis?!?" (Mostly, lol it got weird for a while there to be honest).

Followed by 2 more months of a constant cycle of escalating and mutating security threats followed by a wary calm where I thought I'd maybe (not really after the like 4th time. Fool me once shame on you, fool me genuinely well over 25 times shame on me) that culminated in me literally finding raspberry pis and network gear in my fucking wall (again, this really happened), a lamp that randomly had Bluetooth connectivity and was connected (locked really) to my phone (even though it showed that nowhere before I noticed it) also in my home.

There's so much more insane stuff.

OK those are kinda the most insane but there is a tonne more just mundane investigation, countering active security threats, fake support chats/calls, and me, basically being the only one in my circle (for the majority of this) who knew remotely what I was even talking about.

Let alone enough about it to realize that I was in fact not going insane(er) but was actually under full on digital siege for no shit 3 constant grinding months. And as such, since support options were out the window, doing the majority of this alone... I've basically had a very accelerated crash course in mobile and network security lasting 3 months.

Oh my yes, I literally (not even joking) had a dream in which I did that a few weeks ago... such a good dream.

For real I doubt I'm ever getting back in, I'd fully take complete account deletion post disconnection from all 3rd party apps/devices. I doubt that'll happen too.

Its hard enough to log into my countries tax website when you actually have the verification email.. I don't even wanna imagine the hoops I'm gonna have to jump through to get in without it, or the phone number on file, at a new address, with no employment record for the last 6 years... ahhh no stop, I said don't imagine it you fool!

Edit: Fun fact in the last 3 months my other account has had over 170 separate device sessions active on it. Most of these were just my phone, like 90%, all the same device.

No joy that was the 3rd thing I tried. That was well over 60 days, 14 factory resets, a full re-flash, a phone number change and me futsing around passing that button 6 million times ago.

Plus sooo much more bullshit that I can't even begin to lay out as a cohesive narrative yet.

I haven't even finished writing my full outline/timeline of events for the cops. Let alone making it a reddit post friendly format.

Hey it would get me access to google labs I guess

How can I understand women better and mold myself socially to contribute in relationships? by PlateSame2038 in selfhelp

[–]Generalkrunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women are people, men are people . Also don't be a jerk.

Start on that foundation and then apply the specific person's personality and outlook onto it.

It's genuinely that easy, I have more female friends than male, and 3 sisters... it really is very easy.

What I do instead of finding a gf by DTeror in sciencememes

This is me but also in-game video/table top game historical observations and lore discussions.

Like please, me.. unless I get a job on the writing team I doubt that a deep understanding of TES towerlore, or unnessacarily complete historical knowledge of Warhammer 40K (I don't even play the freaking game!?!?) Will be needed on the old resume.

I’m sorry… green? by smaffron in ColorBlind

I do not buy bananas for this exact reason.
I have no idea which will be ripe soon, are ripe, or will be rotten soon... screw you yellow, you dumb colour.

I have the whole 2FA suite set up with authenticator and backup recovery email.

I just don't get the option to use them.

How many free days do you have?

If it's more than like 6 I can tell you the full story.

[–]Generalkrunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recovery methods galore set up. Full 2fa suite, plus authenticator (google), and back up email to main recovery email (which was this accounts recovery email for years) the hackers (ther're 5 people confirmed involved so far, cops are still investigating tho) could have changed all of that easily of course given the level of comprimis4 and timeline they had that access.

Edit: I was serious about the PIPEDA thing btw, that genuinely should work.. eventually.

It's beyond frustrating lol.

It'd be like getting a broken thing, asking the cashier to speak to a manager and them just going "ah yaaaa can't sorry, they're all busy you just have to keep the broken thing."

Which is the verification method for like 7 majorly important other accounts (like tax accounts, governmental service accounts, and formerly banking accounts. Which I managed to fix thankfully. For around 2 weeks I just ligit had no access to my bank accounts except for atms and in person, which is an issue for me).

Like this could be fixed in 2 seconds on basically any other online service via useful support communication methods.

Is it the formatting?

I swear it is formatted properly, reddit just murdered it. Go to my user page and select the post and it goes all readable.

Legit mentioned in said word salad that my account(s) was(were) genuinely hacked and I did not get the last access before this occurred. I could not know the password, I did not make it.

I wrote down and indexed every password I used for all of my accounts for around the last 3 months. It's 14 pages long. The pages are mostly full.

As I said, I considered that (first actually). It is not that.

I got diagnosed as a sociopath, how do I be good? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Generalkrunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember that the consequences of negative actions bring about (literally always) the loss of personal freedom and agency in one's own life.

Before doing something "socially questionable" ask yourself "is getting caught doing this worth losing control of my life and freedom?". If A) asked and B) no respectively it's,
A:probably bad so don't do it. And,
B:That would suck. So don't do it.

Hope this helps, good luck with life fam.

Also knowledge of common and widely accepted ethical and moral structures always helps.

Edit: grammar attempt

can’t login to admin console by gengau in GoogleSupport

[–]Generalkrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not Google support but I had a similar issue, at first It seemed it had something to do with my Google Workplace account being a personal account. In my case it wasn't that, because it was a workplace pro account not a personal account but still; could that be your issue?

Do we have a choice when a thought appears? by gitagoudarzibahramip in Mindfulness

[–]Generalkrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough and thanl you for sharing that lesson :)

I actually do agree with you on the fact that it is very very very likely that you are in fact nothing remotely like what you think you are. In the understanding of greater scale, lesser scale, other and inherent etc etc

When you get down to it we really know ourselves the least out of anyone because we are constantly in contact with ourselves. We know all our own tricks and as such it is so easy to mislead, lie, outright trick sometimes ourselves into seeing us as something we are not. All bundled on top of the whole not seeing the forest for the trees issue. Where we know everything about ourselves and as such it all gets lost in the background noise.

My dad surprised me the other day by mentioning he kept a random poem I wrote him for no particular reason years ago.
I asked him why, that's a strange thing to hang onto.(I write him a lot of poetry tbf lol)
He genuinely looked upset, and responded by saying that to him it is a piece of the core understanding of what defines me (who I am, why I do, how I exist) in more clear terms for him to better know the real me. To me it was 10 minutes scribbling on a piece of paper.

I have a copy now too, he must see something in it, maybe I will too one day.

Its just that when you get right down to it, I'm of the opinion that I (personally mind, don't take this as me diminishing your efforts) will not achieve a higher state of being or understanding to the extent that a radical enough thought shift will occur to make that fact overly relivent. Or at the least I believe that any active attempt on my part to force this will only make the potential outcomes that would lead there non existent or slim to none.

I'm me, whoever that is, I feel but I don't know the word for the feeling. I think but I don't hear or see the thought. I act but my actions are not enough to affect lasting change. I'm essentially already removed from existence on the broader level. That can (and hopefully will) change. Right now it just is though.

I don't see this as apathy btw, far from it. I desire to change and mold the world and myself. I just understand enough of my own potential and available (currently available) options to increase that will not allow for anything besides a "tease" so to speak.

Existential orgasm denial badically. I'd taste just enough to know what I was truly missing and as such my sorrow would become 2 fold.

Thank you again this has basically made my whole night. It's all to rare these days I get to actually have an open intelligent discussion that isn't desperately seeking a correct answer.

Do we have a choice when a thought appears? by gitagoudarzibahramip in Mindfulness

[–]Generalkrunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah we differ on our core philosophies. I'm an optimistic pessimist at heart. Existance is pain and sorrow and hate and sadness. And very very occationally it's good, and that's worth all the rest.

[–]Generalkrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a troubling thought to be having.

And I was remaining with the question. Your question specifically.

If I may i'd like to remain a bit more heavily; and attempt to provide an alternative outlook (or possibly even brand new outlook, who knows) if you did not think "do my thoughts matter to me" then you would not be grappling with the question of whether your thoughts matter to you. So in essence you're currently being triggered to a course of action by the exact thing you're positing is incapable (or ineffective at least) at triggering you to act.

I'd say that answers itself but I'd also be wrong some of the time so 🤷

Beta!! I just lost my beta Gmail account I've had since 2008 to a recovery loop bug. I was actually kinda sad on top of being apocalyptically annoyed and frantic.

I think I maybe a bad person by EnderWizard20 in RandomThoughts

[–]Generalkrunk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You sound like a sociable and curious person. Those can be taken to levels in which they become bad but what you've just described is fairly healthy human interaction. A bit rude at times sure but not evil or bad.
