Stay tuned.
So I did our work secret Santa and we exchanged our gifts today at lunch. I had random stuff like candy and stuff on my list, nothing special. No expectations really.
My Santa got me some merengue cookies. Which sounds stupid but my grandma used to have them at her house when I was a kid, and I haven't had them in a long time. It's something I've wanted to get myself for a while but I either couldn't find them, forgot, and they weren't important enough to order online. I guess it's a nostalgia thing.
I'm 100% sure I know who gave them to me because it came up in conversation with her like a month ago.
Then coworker was like "hey crack them open and share " another said "yea I've never had them".
Thing is I knew once I opened them, they'd probably be gone before I left. My coworkers never have "just one" of anything. And nobody else received food, so therefore I was the only one asked to share.
I sorta tapped on the container and said "nah, I'm going to save these bad boys for later".
A different coworker said "oh come on".
Then the person that I think was my Santa/gifter said "he doesn't have to share if he doesn't want to".
When I got home I showed my sister and offered her some. I told her about how my coworkers were trying to get me to share.
She said that in situations like that it's sorta expected that you share and offer some if your gift is food. That I might have came off like a jerk for telling them no. She said I should have just shared and I could always buy more for myself later.
This was my first work secret Santa.
AITA?
When someone is nice to me, talks friendly, kind, I open up instantly, sharing personal stuff that makes me look like a fool. How do I stop doing this? I don't want to trust so easily but I do every single time.
For those of you flying into Chicago and driving to Rothbury, I wanted to share my hidden gem food spot on the way. It's called La Perla and it's a small Mexican grocery store that also serves tacos, and it's one of my favorite taco places in America. The town itself (Benton Harbor) is not the greatest and can be a bit sketchy, so be a bit mindful, but it's definitely worth the 5 mins or so detour to Rothbury.
I worked in that town for one summer and have very very fond memories of this place. The people there are super kind so also make sure to tip well! :)
Happy New Year!

A little while ago I (21M) was talking to a female friend of mine (20F). We were alone in the car eating food and she asked me to tell her something I’ve never told anyone else. She also told me something she had supposedly never told anyone else. She also mentioned that it was a good “date” question (which I though was interesting since the night had started out as just a group hangout and I was just dropping her off home).
Not sure how to read into this interaction. It could have just been her wanting to be closer as friends but there could also have been more to it.
I'm not talking about hygiene, I'm talking about the information about escaping female violence.
Nurses put signs up in the women's only toilet in maternity because they don't want to tip off abusers. Simple signs such as "If you're being domestically abused or are in fear for your safety, fill out this specimen jar with a red pen. If you're fine and don't need help use a black pen."
Great right?
Not if it's spread all over the internet.
We know that abusers follow women only forums and this stuff makes it to r/all every now and then. You think that you're sharing information with other women but what you're also doing is tipping off every abuser who reads Reddit or Facebook or wherever you post it that he needs to watch his pregnant spouse like a hawk when she leaves the bathroom at her prenatal appointment and God forbid she has filled out her specimen jar in red pen. God forbid staff have a different domestic violence tool and red pen was all she had to fill out the jar. Do you think he'd believe that?
Same thing for 'angel shots' or 'Angelica drinks' on the rocks/ virgin/ with lime etc. Not every club and bar in the world will have the same code or any code for that matter. But what you are doing is letting potentially dangerous men know that any woman who orders such a drink is doing her fucking best to get away from him. How dare she insult and judge him like that!? How dare she deny him access to what should have been a sure thing!?
And even if both the woman in need and the bartender were on the same page, security, police and ubers don't come as fast as the words leave her mouth. Violence that takes a life time to heal, if that, only takes a moment to inflict.
What's worst is that there are legitimate cocktails with the word angel in the name that women may unwittingly order or that bar tenders assume they want.
These safe words and codes have been placed in a space that, in the course of normal events, only women have access to because if the men they needed to get away from knew then that woman would be in a world of trouble. And, especially in the women's health example, they're set up so that the women who need the information the most has to use that bathroom and will have the information directly in front of her. She doesn't need you to spread it all over the internet; she has it right there!
They are unique to the places that create them, and ever changing as we have to keep one step ahead of predators that now have all the in
... keep reading on reddit ➡Hey everyone! I've created a shortcut to shorten links using a selfhosted Shlink server, which means there are two settings that someone who wants to use the shortcut needs to enter: the domain/endpoint of their server, and the API Key. In the shortcut, I have this entered as a Dictionary, and then I get the values using the Get Dictionary Value action. Then, in the Setup tab, I have a question that provides a dictionary with those keys (but not the values). I'm wondering if I share the shortcut, will the API Key and Endpoint in my shortcut be provided as well, or will they be forced to enter their own information in the question beforehand?

Thank you in advance!
Anyone with any sense understands nuclear subs are far better given the circumstances and the theater of potential war with China in the Pacific. The missions these subs will be on will require them to remain hidden for extended periods of time, not coming to the surface regularly like diesel subs must do. A simpleton understands this military reality, so I know you do too. So this isn't about the subs, is it?
Trump gave you fucking people in the EU a chance to modernize your militaries and get with the fucking program of pivoting to Asia, and what did you do? You basically told him to go fuck himself. So now we're leaving you to your own defenses against a pathetic Russia while we deal with a far greater threat to the world.
You all could have been a part of the grand alliance that is forming in the Pacific to guarantee freedom of navigation and trade and contain China's expansionary aspirations, but you failed, miserably, and we may all suffer the consequences collectively because of your short-sightedness and selfishness.
So once again, the anglosphere will bear the brunt of making the world safe for you to conduct free trade, and I hope you go fuck yourselves, at least until you wake up and realize what a missed opportunity this is.
So just sit back, grab a hot cocoa with your security blanket, and enjoy the free ride you bums while team America saves the fucking day, once again...
Kenshi has lots of little secret mechanics and hidden items/characters. Love that shit in all games i play, so lets share a few.
Strength training maxes out at 25% experience gain when encumbered. If you carry any more you will only lower how much athletics experience you gain, not how much Strength training you gain... UNLESS you are hauling a body, which gives you 25% strength experience gain more regardless of encumbrance.
Hate how slow experience gain is? Downloading a mod to change experience rates has interesting side effects. Turns out that ALL npcs not only have their own skill levels, but experience and can level up themselves. So if you have X10 experience mods to become a bad ass warrior faster, the gaurds probably are still going to beat your ass.
There are two of mine, what do you all have?
I've been trying to better protected the mnemonic created with the eth2.0-deposit-cli by using Shamir Secret Sharing on the Mnemonic.
There is this standard, SLIP-39, that apparently allows just that and it even has some reference implementations.
However, the trezor reference implementation only allows to be given an existing secret in the form of hexadecimal seed key and not the actual mnemonic, as provided.
$ shamir create 3of5 --master-secret=cb21904441dfd01a392701ecdc25d61c
The way I'm using to retrieve the "master-secret" is to put it in an offline version of IanColemanBip39.
I would like some confirmation that, in case I split my mnemonic using the hex seed key, I can still recover it using the eth2.0-deposit-cli.
Does someone use something different?
I was thinking back to the first season of Game of Thrones where (spoiler for a 10 year old season) Ned Stark learns of Joffrey's Bastard secret and, after failing to Blackmail Cersei, he doesn't expose the secret but sends the secret to King Robert's true heir Stannis so he can have an Unpressed Claim to the throne. Then, after Ned is beheaded, and Stannis and Renly declares a Succession War (with Robb Stark and Balon Greyjoy simultaneously starting an Independence War), Stannis decides to expose the secret Ned shared himself, by sending it to everyone with a raven roosted in his castle.
The point I'm trying to make is: Should there be/is there a "share secret" interaction? A way to share a secret with a limited amount of characters, allowing them to do with the secret as they see fit? Would this even be practical compared to just blackmailing/exposing a secret yourself?
I’ve always lived straight and wanted girls. But I experimented growing up with “straight” buddies and know deep down that stuff was fun and like it, I just consider it out in the open or where I have to go “wow this is gay”… so I’ve liked when girls say they like men that would do stuff with them and another guy. So like I want to explore that. I’ve never dated a guy or been open enough in public to ever like actually chill like that with a dude, or with a female that likes that. Or a female, who is just kinky or older and wants to be my taboo. If u don’t like the bi stuff but fit what else I described, then good for u, Not a soul would ever guess I’d be into that stuff. No one I know would believe u if u told them I wrote this. I think it would be fun to have a long distance, or meet up every now and then, casual even fake relationship to full thrill and curiosity. I wouldn’t even have cared to drive far away for one night trips to meet up. It’s interesting lol
