I Once Tried Uploading A Photo To Reddit And It Came Out Bad, Someone Said Something Along The Lines

KILL KILL KILL KILL (joking....)

My friend is going through my side account in public I want him dead

I just want to say: Moses had some fine lips in Prince of Egypt. They looked f i n e. They looked like the pillow versions of lips. Like pillowy thighs, but lips. They looked like desaturated Lip lollies and I'm all for it.

My current password for my Secondary Discord account is 20 characters long, case-sensitive, and uses numbers in certain places as a letter substitute, plus is a variety of the base password (so even if you guess the email, you can't get into discord).

My phone passcode is a little "connect the dots" thing that android devices allow that is very unusual, but I use index fingerprints for ease of access. I will know change it to pinky fingers. No-one expects the pinkies.

“ The odds of guessing a four-digit passcode are 1 in 10,000, and tools have been used to crack iPhone codes in the past. Apple says the chances of someone having a similar enough fingerprint to unlock a person’s phone is 1 in 50,000, and a similar enough random face tricking Face ID is 1 in 1,000,000 “

that’s a really funny way of framing it, to make it look like passcodes are weak. you know what’s twice as good as the odds given for fingerprints? a 5 digit passcode! what’s equal to the odds given for Face ID? a 6 digit passcode! every time you add a digit, you multply those odds by 10.

and that’s assuming simple numeric passcodes. the odds of guessing a 4 digit, case-sensitive, alphanumeric passcode would be a 1 in 14.7 million. 5 digits is over 1 in 916 million, 6 digit is 1 in 56.8 billion. if you throw in 32 common symbols, we get 1 in 78 million, 1 in 7.3 billion, and 1 in 689 billion. those numbers climb pretty quickly the more digits you add.

i know these aren’t the only issues with passcodes (like 24% of americans using a variation of just 8 common passcodes), but if you’re trying to push people to biometrics i guess you wouldn’t really care for that nuance anyway

Don't forget, these things are also now considered gay:

The Aurora Australis

NGC 69

NGC 6969

Messier 69

Caldwell 69

The storms on Uranus

No questions please

In addition to Rainbows, the following phenomena are now Gay:

Solar Eclipses

Lunar Eclipses

The Aurora Borealis

Thunderstorms

Sunsets

Sunrises 

Shooting Stars 

The Rings on Saturn 

I will not be taking questions, thank you

consider: teenagers aren’t apathetic about everything they’re just used to you shitting all over whatever they show excitement about

Infodump, I need more reasons to be alive and more things to care about

rb if ur mutuals an followers can infodump in ur inbox, even if they won't answer the ask

My Experience Buying eSIMs for Gaza 

Project organized by @ connectinghumanity_

In Fall 2023, I saw instructions on instagram for how to purchase an eSIM card and submit it to be distributed to someone in Gaza. 

Download an eSIM app-> Select Middle East as the region-> Purchase-> Screenshot the QR code-> Do not activate-> send to gazaesims@gmail.com 

Image of Maia looking at eir phone. “That sounds easy, I’ll buy one.” 

I emailed an Airalo eSIM QR code to gazaesims on Nov 17 2023. 

Page 2

By January 2024, it hadn’t been activated yet. I bought a second one from Nomad and sent my new QR code and resubmitted my old one. 

Image of Maia looking at eir phone. “How long does this usually take, I wonder?” 

By February neither had been activated, but Connecting Humanity kept posting about needing more. I bought a second Nomad and resubmitted all of them on February 15, 2024. 

Page 3

The Nomad eSIMs are much cheaper than Airalo, but what I didn’t realize is that they expire even if they haven’t been activated. At the end of February I decided to try a third company, Simly. Here’s a price comparison: 

AIRALO: $39 USD for 3GB, never expires 

SIMLY: $22 USD for 3GB, never expires 

NOMAD: $16 USD for 3GB, expires after 8 weeks even if unused, only offers in-app refunds

Connecting Humanity asks folks to wait at least 3 weeks before resending a QR code that hasn’t been activated yet. On March 7 Mirna Elhelbawi posted: 

We send EVERY esim we receive. Bear in  mind that we are dealing with people at a war zone. They might take it and get killed before activating it, they might take it and their phone gets lost or destroyed. They might take it and search for days for stable internet connection to activate it, and some of them activate it unsuccessfully due to lack of knowledge and the horrific situations they are in. ~Connecting Gaza 

By early April, my first Nomad eSIM expired unused. I resubmitted my three remaining eSIMs.

Suddenly, two of my eSIMs were activated on the same day! The Airalo I’d purchased 4.5 months earlier and my second Nomad.

I began buying top-up packages immediately.

I felt like I had planted a seed in the fall and waited all winter for it to sprout. Seeing it activated was like watching the first new leaves break the soil. 

Image of Maia with a watering can labeled “data”, sprinkling water on two little sprouts. “Watering my eSIMs!” 

Sadly, only .07 GB of data was ever used on my Nomad. It was never used again after that first day. 

Page 7

But my Airalo has been in constant use for over a month now. I check on it every day. 

I will never know the person I am buying data for and they will never know me. But we are connected by the same strings of hope and grief that connect us all.

On April 5, 2024 Connecting Humanity reported they had sent more than 250,000 eSIMs to Gaza, equivalent to approximately $6.3 million donated! You can visit gazaesims.com for more info, instructions, and discounts. Here are my referral codes: 

MAIA5367 for $3 off Airalo 

MB772 for $3 off Simly 

MAIA66GF for $3 off Nomad

Image of Maia, weighing two options. “Buying an eSIM is easy and can make a very direct impact. It can also take a lot of patience and could get expensive over time if you commit to keeping the eSIM topped up indefinitely.” 

If an immediate one time donation is more your speed, I recommend Operation Olive Branch and Gazafunds, two places to find Gofundmes aiding Palestinian families.

Might i suggest:

k͡ǃǃ̃ʷʰ̃ and ʙ͡r͡ʀ͡ʜ (labialised nasalised aspirated retroflex click and the quadri-articulation of the Bilabial, alveolar, Uvular and Epiglottal trills)

I love the international phonetic alphabet

I also love one-off characters
