When my BFF’s cat died, they were crying, upset, completely disconsolate. I was a bit suprised that they were even sadder than when their father had died. They said: “it’s because my cat never told me I was doing everything wrong.”

Likewise, there’s a saying along the lines of: every man is a hero to his dog. Some people talk to plants, or hug stuffed animals. So I think there’s value to that kind of relationship. Obviously if you ONLY talk to plants or stuffed animals then you might get a little weird, but otherwise it seems OK.

In general, I use the simplest technology that does the job. So it really depends on what you’re generating names for. A lot of times, just selecting items from a list of firstnames and lastnames is enough.

In the name of christianity, they also burned thousands of books, leaving only 4 behind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_codices

jungle reclaimed that land, hiding them. (mayan temples, for example.)

I bet you those half-buried mayan temples were THE spot where all mayan teenagers went to hang out.

A scam center, fraud factory, fraud park, scam factory or scam compound is a collection of large fraud organizations usually involved in human trafficking operations, generally found in Southeast Asia and usually operated by a criminal gang. Scam center operators lure foreign nationals to scam hubs, where they are forced into modern slavery, to scam internet users around the world into fraudulently buying cryptocurrencies or withdrawing cash via social media and online dating apps.

So there’s a formal/professional approach and there’s an informal approach.

Formally, there are fields like Risk Management aka Risk Analysis; in these fields there are various frameworks and approaches for things like threat models and risk assessments. This is more than most of us need.

Informally “this is what I want to protect myself against” is indeed a good way of thinking about it. You can write something up for yourself, or you can just think it through. If the threat model helps you use your time / resources wisely, then it’s a good threat model.

If cats gave Nobel Prizes you’d surely get one.

On March 26, 1964, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. met for the first and only time in Washington, D.C. Less than a year later, Malcolm was dead, the victim of an assassin’s bullet

…

On March 25, King and Malcolm were both on Capitol Hill watching a Senate hearing regarding legislation aimed at ending segregation in public places and racial discrimination in employment. …

As King was wrapping up a press conference, he was approached by Malcolm, and the two shook hands and exchanged greetings. As cameras clicked away, Malcolm expressed his desire to become more active, saying, “I’m throwing myself into the heart of the civil rights struggle.” Then, just as quickly as it began, the brief meeting between the two legends was over.
