    1. Conversion rates are higher and the majority tend to prefer these over passwords

    can’t attest to this. I’ve seen so many users fail to understand they must click the link in their email to complete registration. some yet, still refuse and complain that “it could be spoofed”.

    1. When you have to reset a password, you typically have to send an email anyway.

    not if you remember your password…

    1. It’s technically safer because they are short lived tokens and if someone’s password gets compromised, their token cannot.

    except for the password on your email. this is just security through obscurity or security theater. just because you sent it as an email doesn’t make it more secure. it just makes it more complex.

    warning! NSFW!

    Please put a spoiler tag on this. I was on the plane and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this comment. Now there is a whole plane of men masterbating together at this one comment. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just hidden your comment in a spoiler.

    modern movies suck today because Hollywood stopped telling stories and started selling fantasies.

    take for example two movies that are somewhat similar, Falling Down (1993) and Law Abiding Citizen (2009).

    In FD the audience spends 75% of the movie following a guy around who is clearly not well. he’s the antihero that we all sometimes wish we could be, but we also acknowledge it’s moralistically unjust to just go around blowing shit up and shooting at people. towards the end of the movie you understand the real cause of why he was acting the way he was which made his character even more relatable. it made you question our society and the cruel realities that everyday people survive. it makes you think that maybe that “pocket protecting pencil pusher” has more in common with you than you’d like to admit.

    In LAC the audience is immediately jarred by a violent sexual event that charges you with a desire for revenge. The rest of the movie is about a guy taking that revenge and getting some sadistic pleasure from it. you aren’t supposed to relate to the main character, or any character in the entire movie. everyone is shitty except for his dead wife and kid. The premise of the entire movie is to make the audience feel good that “justice” is being administered and sugar coats it in a high fructose action syrup. by the end of the movie you’re filled with rage of the injustices within our own world and feel as if you have been wronged like the main character. you spend the rest of the night imagining your own revenge if you were the main character.

    FD tells the story of how far a broken man will go if he has everything taken from him.

    LAC sells the fantasy that revenge is action packed and you will always win if your cause is righteous and just.

    that said, don’t get me wrong. I liked both movies, but I’m not going to lie to myself and say that LAC isn’t just revenge porn.

    modern movies are flat and simple because audiences lack the mental capacity they used to have. this is because we no longer watch them for entertainment, we watch to escape our own realities.

    edit: oh yeah and sound engineers can suck fucking dick if they can’t understand how to level out the foreground, background, and vocals for a regular not action movie. I’m tired of reading subtitles.

    hold up. let’s ignore the fact that you have an IUD, and that you were both clean.

    any sexual partner that throws shade about wearing a condom should be put on an automatic “no-fuck” list. the only exception to this is if you have been regularly raw-dogging without complaint.

    point is, your partner was trying to compel you to remove safe sex protections that you were comfortable with. this isn’t the first time they have done this with a partner and implies they have unprotected sex regularly.

    you got lucky, this time. if safe sex is important to you, you need to set those ground rules and not allow your partners to dissuade you, because one day you will regret it.

    the next time this happens and they try to guilt you into fucking them raw just tell them, “I guess it’s alright, I don’t have any condoms small enough to fit you.” I can guarantee the mood will be dead and you won’t have to tell them to wear a condom again.
