    Jfc I don’t fucking care whether or not you believe me, do whatever you want with your passwords.

    I could use “A” breath of fresh air
    I could go for “A” bite of pizza
    I can remember “A” password where you can’t

    Next time use context clues

    Now please shut the fuck up, this entire interaction with you has been enough for the rest of my life, and at this point you’re literally the last person I would ever listen to about passwords. Have a good “A”!

      I also don’t like to be wrong, so I understand why you’re lashing out. And oh for the love of God please don’t listen to me about passwords! I’m not a security professional. I’m just saying you should listen to the people who are, not just go with your gut feeling about what a safe way of securing your online life is.

        Lashing out =/= defending myself and refusing to put up with your bullshit. I said why I don’t use password managers and you enter the conversation being a sarcastic asshole. I don’t have to put up with that, call it lashing out or whatever the fuck you want but if you can’t handle the heat then stay out of the kitchen. Now fuck off already.
