How off putting is it to learn someone has kids?
SpikeTalon comments on May 16, 2018:
Under most circumstances no, but an exception could be made if the kids are grown up. I refuse to raise (be a surrogate father to) another man's offspring.
SpikeTalon replies on May 16, 2018:
@Bignate901 Not in the least, and I do not lack empathy. The biological father should be there to raise his own kids (assuming he is still living). Oddly enough, your comment was rather harsh and quick to judgment, but that's fine though.

@MikeFlora NotConvinced is right Mike, President Trump is going to be our nation's President until the next Presidential election rolls around. Be very careful what you wish for...you may get it. Now think for a moment, if Trump was successfully impeached, who do you suppose would take his place as President? You got it, Mr Pence would take the reins, and believe me neither you or just about anyone else in their right mind would want Pence over Trump. Again, I don't see the sense in getting worked up over something that you cannot do anything about at this point, just saying...

At what age do you start to feel "old"?

NothinnXpreVails comments on May 15, 2018:
Every time I have to disclose my age (forms, conversation, etc) I have to calculate it. I can’t ever just know my age, it keeps changing. I still don’t feel old, but I don’t feel young. I think I just don’t feel.

@MikeFlora I'm from Pennsylvania, a state known for coal mining, and I must disagree with you when you say coal mining is dying. Coal is not a dying industry, if you Google search and take the time to do proper research you would find that quite a few companies and organizations are optimistic about the future of coal. Here is an interesting read by the way- https://www.williamson.edu/2018/01/clean-coal-power-plants-and-why-they-are-important/
While coal mining can be dangerous, there certainly are dangers present with natural gas too, and the point is that both present dangers, and not about which one is worse. The coal jobs were disappearing because of the push from environmentalist groups, and not because it is a dying industry or lack of job positions in that field. You say you are concerned about Trump because he is our current President, fair enough. I still say no opinions on job performance should be made until he finishes his term, afterall genuine progress takes time, and he has only been in office for 16 months. So many people want to focus on the negatives and not the positives, patience in this country are seriously lacking. Lastly, when Obama was in office I respected him regardless of how much I may have disagreed with him, and always referred to him as the President, and I have not witnessed the same courtesy being given to the current President on this site by roughly ninety percent of the community members.

I met a guy years ago who told me using these symbols [ !@#$%^&*() ] as part of your password decreased the chances of someone brute-forcing your password by a large margin. Was there any truth to that statement?
SpikeTalon replies on May 14, 2018:
Account passwords aside for the moment, my screenlock has six characters with fingerprint disabled, my primary app lock is forty four characters with disabled fingerprint unlock, and my secondary app lock is twenty four characters with fingerprint unlock enabled. Just thought I'd throw that in there too. If you use a third-party app lock, make sure it has an option to enable system administrator, because that way the app cannot be uninstalled by other third-party software without removing access to said permission. For account passwords though, I use a mixture of upper and lower case letters along with numbers, and I mix them all around. One of my passwords has fifty eight characters (I think) with such a mixture, just to give you some idea there...

That would depend on how many symbols as such would be used, are we talking say, more than five or six? Knowing that there are some really skilled hackers out there these days, I wouldn't say with absolute certainty that you'd be safe adding symbols, and just making your password really long more often than not does the trick. Bruteforcing techniques are gradually improving as well.

SpikeTalon replies on May 14, 2018:
@SilverDollarJedi That's a good idea, and I have emailed Proton developers with the idea to accept payments in Btc as well a few weeks ago. It does depend upon the service, but keep in mind nothing is 100% secured or private. I don't especially care for Nord because it is among one of the more well known VPN services out there and could become the target of hackers. Proton, while establishing a name for themselves, is still not out there as much as Nord is. Not sure where Nord is based, but I do know Proton is based in Switzerland, a country known to take privacy into serious consideration.

@Donotbelieve I was quite aware of that, and did notice your restraint there, which I can imagine was difficult to do. I go on the offense whenever I hear religion creeping into our public schools.

I'm looking into the option for a live chatroom for this group.
beansontoast comments on May 14, 2018:
Sounds like it could be interesting. Would we just have a general kickabout of maybe focus on a specific topic per session. Which US timezone are we talking about so we can align?
SpikeTalon replies on May 14, 2018:
EST for timezone, and the chats could be random, whatever someone wants to discuss. There were a few members who had wanted to ask questions, and I figured a live chatroom would be a good place to ask away. It's good that Admin offers a chatroom to groups for two days, because at least for one of those days I could be present at least most of the time.

@FoundMyNietzsche I know what you mean with the double standard. I think the only way to put such societal views like that to rest would be to fearlessly live life as you wish to. You're certainly correct about the first part, 40 anything is far from being old, and I don't even think 60 anything is old. I never considered her a "cougar" or anything of the like, just an everyday individual with whom I had quite a bit in common with and experienced fun times with. In other words, a true partner. I remain hopeful the future holds promising change along with a more accepting attitude.

@likunder Yes, I had opportunities with some really awesome girls back in high school, but passed on their "ideas" due to my family's religious background/upbringing. I try hard not to dwell on the past, but at times the memories come back though.
