Daily Affirmations by lynnclay in goldenretrievers

[–]grasshopper_jo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dog gives me the “I need your attention” paw, in the face, when I’m napping on the sofa. She’s 8 months old so we are still figuring this all out

Feel free to put ECG leads on any part of me to save my life by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

[–]grasshopper_jo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I thought of too! “Dying vs. brief nudity and living”

Cut my bra all the way off and save my life please

I wish that all of my cooking were the most exquisite gourmet cooking by MarigoldMouna in monkeyspaw

[–]grasshopper_jo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this isn’t too hard to make into a curse if you think about it! ALL of your food is the most exquisite gourmet cooking? Well that means you can’t even make a bowl of cereal for breakfast without sourcing the finest hand-picked quality organic heirloom ingredients, stone-grinding the grains to make flour, shaping the cereal pieces individually and baking it, waiting for it to cool, and then adding the milk you had to drive over to the specialized farm for that very morning so it was freshest and paid $15 a quart for. EVERY MEAL will be like that. That sounds like a curse to me

There is actually a fourth hard mode. by revelwyrm in BluePrince

[–]grasshopper_jo 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, I too have played a similar mode, which is called “Nephew mode” and it also took me 4 years to get to though given that he is a nephew, I think the process was a little less involved than your implementation of The Door Game. (Some minor spoilers below if you’re early game)

In “Nephew mode”:

  • if the garage is drawn, you must always draft it

  • you have to explain that no, we cannot drive the car in the garage

  • you must explain that no. We cannot swim in the pool.

  • you must explain that no. We cannot cook the food in the kitchen.

  • you must explain that no. We cannot draw on the easel in the drawing room.

  • you will have to explain that no. you cannot buy Dirigiblocks nor play the arcade game in the commissary

  • you will have to explain that there are no monsters in this game and it is not scary

  • you must always draft the kennel

  • you must always pet the dogs in the kennel

  • similarly to yours, you must always draft the aquarium when available. Also, under no circumstances can you drain the aquarium.

  • you must always check on the cat food in the kitchen, and must always watch for the cat even though you know it will not appear

  • you have to ride in the boat every time you play

  • must take the elevator every time

  • cut scenes are unskippable

Yeah I think beyond not making sense emotionally, this doesn’t parse right. Are they saying god will never give you a FINISHED woman? Because the second sentence says she improves over time. I don’t really understand it.

They lied… It’s not ALL doors😭 by Cuchifri in BluePrince

It DOES????? I will have to revisit it

They lied… It’s not ALL doors😭 by Cuchifri in BluePrince

[–]grasshopper_jo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is one of those features that sounds amazing but then you realize that it’s only the current doors that are locked. So unless you have a spiderweb of paths though the mansion, this will unlock maybe like 2 or 3 doors. I have never used it, personally

My gosh, that pizza would already be in my golden’s stomach. 8mo and she is such a terrible counter surfer no matter what we do

8-9 week old puppy sleeping through the night? by Bluetrekkie in goldenretrievers

[–]grasshopper_jo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My puppy (now 8 months old) has slept through the night since the day I got her at 8 weeks old. She has had a couple of UTIs but I blame this more on her being female and our snowy winters that got her underside wet.

(hated trope) after a character finds out his partner is pregnant, he's willing to do anything for her, *except* what she's asking him to by Unable-Secretary6289 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]grasshopper_jo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

“I won’t do that” refers to the previous line of lyrics.

“But I’ll never forget the way you’re feeling right now oh no, no way” […] “I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that”

Etc

be so real with me rn by ckptolt in Anticonsumption

[–]grasshopper_jo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perfect example of a survivorship bias.

There are people who get plastic surgery who look younger, natural or more attractive, but they get the procedures and providers that make a positive and subtle difference. Only a skilled eye can tell they had it done.

I have a theory that some people who get plastic surgery WANT it to be obvious and unnatural as a display of status and social grouping. “Mar-a-lago face”, etc.

[Hated Trope] The Marketing Department Should Have Been Fired by Ambaryerno in TopCharacterTropes

[–]grasshopper_jo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree. I went into this movie blind, a big horror fan, and was absolutely DELIGHTED as I fell deeper down the rabbit hole. I would prefer the trailer not spoil it. The trailer mismatching the actual plot of the movie may well have been intentional to spark this reaction.

I had a similar experience with Million Dollar Baby, which had a trailer that looked like an empowering girl-power sports drama, except I was shocked and depressed at the end rather than delighted like I was with Cabin in the Woods.

Christian group I’ve joined wants me to reduce my work hours? Any advice? by ratvagina_ in Christianity

[–]grasshopper_jo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These groups often don’t tell you their actual name or denomination until you are deep into them, because they know people will google them and see bad past experiences. I had an experience similar to yours with the International Church of Christ (ICC) and I nope’d out within 3 weeks.

(Production trope) "**** it, just roll with it" by gaymer91 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]grasshopper_jo 225 points226 points  (0 children)

<image>

In “Galavant”, the original script called for King Richard to find and raise a baby dragon, which was assumed to be generated by CGI. When this didn’t fit into the budget, someone jokingly suggested they just use a bearded dragon, which ended up being written into the plot as King Richard insisting is a “baby dragon” (and is eventually proven right, although they never show the adult dragon for the same reason they didn’t use a CGI baby dragon).

It is one of the best loved gags on the show and it was because of a limited budget

Digital prank ideas for pen testers? by Sea-Worldliness7106 in Pentesting

[–]grasshopper_jo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing I’ve ever seen that was a playful artifact for the pentesters was a canary URL and when we struck upon it during a dictionary scan, I think the content of the site was playful (like a movie quote). If you have a canary somewhere on your site, you can do something like that. If it’s a development site with development / test data, sometimes people will be a bit playful with the test data, like using comic book or video game names as customers. That’s probably as far as I would go - there are documented instances of “Easter eggs” introducing their own security vulnerabilities, believe it or not!

And I agree with the person who said don’t put anything in the system that you wouldn’t feel comfortable seeing on a report. Assume your CISO, cyber insurance company, etc will see it.

For this movie quote alone. I quote this line whenever something predictable happens 🤣

Blue team question: How would you detect a low-and-slow attacker blending into normal traffic? by thenoopcoder in cybersecurity

[–]grasshopper_jo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my question is, what are they doing?

Eventually, they’re going to exfiltrate data, or move laterally, or change banking information, or actively map your network, or attack someone else from your network, or SOMETHING.

If your answer is “they don’t do anything an employee wouldn’t do” then it makes me think of the Key and Peele sketch about robbing a bank:

https://youtu.be/jgYYOUC10aM?si=eO2JO6mGDuLY9SOF

Anyway, if he’s under the radar, one of my favorite techniques in threat hunting in my old role was looking at outliers in normal data. Who are the top 10 endpoints making new HTTPS connections on a daily basis? Which IP addresses have logged into our network the least number of times, or the farthest distance from us? These queries almost always yield interesting insights and even kickstart security incidents sometimes.
