Passwords that are getting more and more complex, need to be changed every 60 days and don't have the option of a "visible keyboard" so you have no idea if you messed up big-time or just have a small typo

The term "pet peeves". I don't know what a peeve is, but I don't plan on petting it.

Too many road lights.
Crazy how many streets that don't really need them have them here now. Planning for the future I guess, but it's still annoying having to wait 4 minutes for a left turn when you could have had one in 15 seconds or less going by your own discretion with the stop signs that were in the same places a few months ago.

I wish more intersections with a protected left turn also allowed left turns by yielding (blinking yellow turn signal). So many times waiting for a green arrow when I could have gone multiple times.

Just use the internet to source those pics. No one subscribes to the print versions nowadays.
It is no better than skinny people who belittle them for not being the same way they are. There are many many reason people are fat. Laziness and poor eating habits are only two of them.
As for beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder. Some people find it attractive. Best friend in high school loved beer bellies. I never understood her attraction to them. But to each their own.

I think it is hard for a lot of people with busy lifestyles and poor food choices. It is easy to get into a fast food rut if you are really busy. I do think some people have metabolism issues, but that is not the main culprit in our society (crap food and laziness).
FWIW--A large AMA study linked being overweight (but not obese) to longer life. So if being overweight makes you live longer, is it really a bad thing? This was based on BMI which is of course flawed, but I found it interesting. Having known people that have had health problems, the ones that started a bit heavy seemed to recover better as they had a little more fat to sustain them.
I am "normal" on the BMI, and I watch what I eat, but I wouldn't worry too much if I gained up into the low end of "overweight" on the BMI chart.

I agree with this with every fiber of my being. I get the importance of data security, but really.
So I developed a method that works very well for me, fits the requirements of 99% of all password systems, and is easy to remember and very difficult to crack.
Step 1: Pick a 4 letter word and a 4 digit number that somehow go together, for you (yeah it can be that kind of 4 letter word if you want)
Example: jazz1997
Step 2: Alternate "shift" while typing in the new password. This gets you a combination of upper case, lower case, and symbols and numbers in your password.
Example: JaZz!9(7
Step 3: For added security, string a couple of these together. Security firms have shown that 8 characters is the "sweet spot" for remembering a password and providing decent protection against cracking, especially the password has all of the major character groups represented (upper case, lower case, numbers, symbols), but 16 characters is the magic number for making it virtually impossible to crack with known decryption methods. Something like hundreds of years to crack it.
Example: jazz1997 and karl1985, combined you get jazz1997karl1985, and then shift every other character gets you JaZz!9(7KaRl!9*5 - awesome password there, very easy to remember,.
The only downside to this method is remembering the symbols to be able to enter a password like this on a mobile device, but you can always just add a certain symbol at a certain point that you can always remember and change the words around it like this:
Jazz*1997&Karl*1985
So keeping the *'s and & intact, along with the numbers, and just make the first letter of the words upper case. Still far easier to remember and way more secure than what most people normally do with these, like adding a number at the end and just incrementing it +1 for every new password, like johnspassword1, then johnspassword2, etc.

To skinny is a disease as well. And there is nothing wrong when healthy/fit people want other people to be healthy/fit.

Lemme guess...canon?
yes
When people know I am coming to work on their house (because they called me) and yet still leave a ton of **** piled right where they know I need to work. So apparently the job description for electricians now includes "movers" because you can't figure out that I actually have to get access to the plugs that don't work that you called me to fix.
"No, don't worry about it. I LOVE moving your dresser, two night stands, bed, and computer desk because those plugs have something wrong with them and stopped working all the time. And don't worry, you just stand there and watch while I move it by myself."
