Was on the train to work this morning and there was an actual pop-up on my iPhone asking me to login into my Apple ID for acces to control parental settings on an iPad ?
Any idea what this could be, I do not have an iPad or anything with parental controls. I assumed it was phishing attempt, but it was an actual prompt.

2025.01.23 04:11 rogerdojjer I am looking forward to the Age of Disclosure documentary
I know everybody is jumping on it because there’s claim it’s going to show some killer evidence - of course people are throwing the “Oh just like the Egg segment right?” around - don’t mind all that.
I’m looking forward to the new documentary. Maybe it’ll be terrible. Who knows maybe It’ll show a dinner plate on a string - won’t know till it comes out.
Too many people here don’t understand that you don’t have to form an opinion as soon as you take in certain information. You can remain neutral and just observe and draw the lines where you want. For example you don’t need to buy into the Egg to get that it’s interesting BECAUSE it MIGHT be real. Too many of you think you need an opinion ASAP - stop this.
Keep it real people.

2025.01.23 04:11 Glad-Improvement-812 A subtlety about Bernard in final episode
A subtlety about Bernard's downfall
I keep seeing explanations of Bernard falling apart in despair as his anguish that the silo has fallen to the rebels and I don't think that's quite accurate.
Bernard is crumbling not from anguish but from shame. His ego has been destroyed by his failure to maintain order in the silo. It is not that the silo has fallen but that it has fallen ON HIS WATCH. Bernard was smug and thought he'd triumph as the hero. He wanted to be like Quinn, but he was outsmarted, and he failed.
Bernard's ego was destroyed before Lukas delivered his news. He completely fell apart when Lukas told him because not only had he been the one at the helm but every horrid thing he had done to maintain his position, including killing the woman he loved, had been utterly meaningless. His ego was attached to the idea that his role meant something, that he was actually of some superiority and importance, but he was just a cog in the machine equal to everyone else.
A head of IT that truly cared about the silo, even knowing the truth of it and the Safeguard, would have fought to the bitter end to save his people, not foisted his job off to the next person who walked by, hidden himself in a room waiting to be killed then snuck out the back door when everyone was distracted. Russell did his job with integrity, not ego. He did everything he could and held onto his authority until he was shot in the head.

2025.01.23 04:11 Nolesman357 Any Creatives get jealous of FromSoft games, or pure awe-inspired by their genius?
Incoming essay so read at your own digression.
Hello everyone, like you I am a huge fan of Souls games and the mind of Hidetaka Miyazaki, but as an aspiring Creative myself, I can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy at the sheer genius at their creations. To preface, I’ve only played Elden Ring, Sekiro, and am currently nose deep in a Bloodborne playthrough. I haven’t even touched their foundational masterpieces, although I will eventually. Nevertheless, I played Elden Ring practically by mistake and have yet to look back. By mistake, I mean a friend recommended me the game and I bought it without doing any research because I value his opinion enough to trust his judgement. I was not aware that Elden Ring was associated with Souls games, nor was FromSoftware even on my radar for gaming developers (I was also an extremely casual gamer and didn’t really get into gaming until I was in college). I had an inkling of an idea associated to Souls game which was that they were hard and because I sucked at video games I never entertained them, but I also never even knew how well regarded they were. Nevertheless, I knew, or thought I knew, that Souls games would be inaccessible to a scrub like myself so I never bothered with any Souls games solely because they here ‘hard’. When Sekiro came out I didn’t even know it was a Souls game made by FromSoft but I thought it looked cool but because I had heard it was hard I never gave it a second look. A lot of this is rooted in my own self doubt. I think I can’t do something therefore I can’t do it. But When I booted up Elden Ring I was immediately impressed by the graphics and art design, as well as how smooth it felt. I remember thinking it might be too hard but thanks to my blind following to having a great friend, I spent $60 on a game I knew nothing about. Long story short, after being insulted by Varre, bamboozled by Tree Sentinel, jumped by a dragon, and teleported to Caelid, I thought I had wasted $60.
But of course, I couldn’t let $60 go to waste and because of how Elden Ring is designed, you are compelled to continue. Castle Stormveil is one of the first things you see after entering Limgrave so naturally the player says to themself something along the lines of: wow that’s a dope castle I gotta go check that out. Of course it’s not so simple because there’s so much to do in Limgrave. I spent much of my opening hours in Elden Ring killing those ghoul bats or whatever they’re called as well as basic enemies (the ones who slowly prowl the lands). Just killing them made me feel better about myself and pushed me to keep itching my way through the game. I had friends give me advice. My first felled boss was in a cave and after that I had to keep going. I had to keep leveling up and exact my revenge on Agheel dragon and the Tree Sentinel which I finally did. It was a rewarding experience, but of course the first main boss was Margit. At the time I needed summons and NPC Rogier to help me and even then the fight was tough. Despite my lack of skill I refused to level up so much that the fight would be made easier. I wanted to beat Margit at a relatively similar level as other players did even if I was using summons (this is not meant to instigate an argument on summons). When I finally defeated Margit it was one of the greatest moments in all of my gaming experiences and genuinely reframed how I saw myself. Because I assumed I couldn’t do something I never bothered with it, but I persevered and did it anyway. I’m sure it’s ridiculous that it took a video game for me to see this about myself but it did.
In short, I ended up getting the Elden Ring platinum and it is now tied with RDR2 as my favorite game of all time. Soon after defeating Margit I began imposing challenges on myself which was to not use summons as I didn’t want to “lesser the challenge”. My experience with Elden Ring was eye opening. It lead me back to Sekiro, a game I would not have otherwise played. The combat is incredible and I didn’t find it terribly difficult thanks to my hard-nosed habits in Elden Ring. But it was definitely still hard, as these games tend to be. I also achieved the Sekiro platinum and loved that. Now I’m playing Bloodborne and once again find myself addicted to a FromSoft game.
To circle back to my title question, I don’t think many people could create something that could be something so compelling to someone who innately feels is inaccessible to them, yet perseveres anyway. A lot of this is because Miyazaki’s philosophy of forcing the player to overcome overwhelming challenges to achieve great triumph thereby creating a microcosm for life itself insists upon players to keep going even in the face of aforementioned overwhelming odds. I have a great appreciation for Miyazaki and his vision to make difficult games. As someone who sucks at games, and definitely couldn’t have played these games 5 years ago, I respect him for sticking to his guns. Miyazaki by no means owes me a great gaming experience just because I’m not good enough.
When it comes to Bloodborne it has all of the great mechanical aspects that make FromSoft games so great, but for me, the most intriguing aspect is the story. I honestly have no idea what the story is so I might be undermining myself, but the fact that Bloodborne effectively switches genres midway through is mind blowing. I don’t know what other story does that and I feel as if only the medium of video games could achieve something like that which is why I love video games so much for their ability to tell intriguing and immersive stories over a more prolonged period of time than say a movie. Needless to say there is a lot about FromSoft games that go into them that makes them masterpieces. There’s a lot I don’t know about game design, coding, gameplay, and just everything that goes into making a video game that I know nothing about. But I can appreciate it’s an art form that when done properly, video games are as much an art form as a beautiful sculpture or a masterpiece Oscar winning film.
As an aspiring Creative myself, I doubt I’ll ever make something as impactful as the games FromSoftware makes but their finger on the pulse of humanity—that being our strive to overcome obstacles and find our purposes in life—is what compels us to play their games and become addicted. It’s hard not to feel a pang of jealousy at FromSoftware’s genius. I’ve done nothing to show myself as anyone that matters but if anyone has any inkling of creativity I think they will appreciate FromSoft games from a purely creative standpoint. It makes me wish I knew literally anything about creating video games, but at most I could only write for them, and even then I don’t know if I’m qualified for that. Video games give me a great appreciation for coding and the minute details that goes into making them. FromSoft games are a thing of genius and I’m lucky that there are still a lot I get to experience after Bloodborne.
Anyway, if you read this thanks. If you’re a Creative in any way, shape or form, I hope you find it in yourself to bring forth those creations to life. And if you are an aspiring video game developer, I wish you luck, and hope you you are also able to create an astounding video game on par with FromSoft games.
TLDR: Sorry for the rant, I just adore FromSoft games and have great admiration for them as an art form. I think any aspiring artist who appreciates video games as an art form will feel jealous of Miyazaki’s genius. Nevertheless a lot of the people on this sub are probably very intelligent and creative themselves so I hope you guys go on to make amazing content for random strangers to enjoy, and even feel compelled to play if they’ve otherwise not thought themselves to enjoy whatever content it is that you’ve made.

An item slot that could hold one of smoke, wards, dust, maybe blood grenade on a cooldown. the item would be on a cd and potentially upgradeable. eg ward upgrades increases number of wards. smoke reduces the cd. etc.

2025.01.23 04:11 Final_Ad_4102 [19M] AITAH for crushing on my best friend and his boyfriend?
I was just in an incredibly manipulative relationship for a year and I’ve been out of it for a month now. I lost my independence and individuality in that relationship, he made me live for him and he relied heavily on me. He cheated on me but would still tell me how he wanted to kill himself and I was the only reason he was alive. He lived with me and there wasn’t an option to get him out of my life for awhile. That was a horrible situation and I’ve since been so happy being out of it. I’ve started seeing a psychiatrist and therapist so I can really heal from this.
After the breakup happened I visited my childhood best friend [19m] for the first time in five years. It was his winter break for college and very last minute but I just needed a break after everything. This guy “Calvin” is genuinely my favorite person in the whole world and I tell him everything. I would do anything for him. When we were younger he had a crush on me and I just couldn’t reciprocate those feelings. I didn’t want to even try to bc I didn’t want to ever lose our friendship.
Since then there’s been multiple times I had questioned liking him as more than friends but just ignored those moments in fear of something going badly and losing my best friend. It kind of feels like he’s the right person but it’s not the right time. I want us both to have experiences through our youth and at some point maybe I’d feel comfortable telling him about these feelings I’ve had.
Visiting him was the happiest I’ve felt in so long. We already call and text each other about just every day but I was still worried things would be awkward in person. Yet there was no awkwardness and we’re both very awkward people, we just clicked per usual.
While being there I had met some of his college campus buddies and his boyfriend of four months [18m]. This boyfriend, “Noah”, is honestly such a good guy and so attractive. I’m really not good at getting comfortable around people fast but I felt so comfortable around him. We were both able to talk to each other on more personal levels when we’re both typically closed off. Even since flying back home I text him regularly just like Calvin.
One night the roads were bad and it was late so Noah decided to sleepover but there was only a queen bed. We all shared that bed with Noah surprisingly in the middle when I thought he wouldn’t be comfortable with that. While he was sleeping I was thinking about how I’m genuinely really attracted to him and that made me feel horrible. I obviously don’t want to have these thoughts when he’s dating my best friend. Whilst having those thoughts it also brought back my feelings for Calvin and I think I genuinely am crushing over them both. Even Calvin told me he didn’t expect Noah and I to get along so well so fast and that made me feel so guilty.
I’ve never considered being polyamorous and the majority of poly relationships don’t work out. The both of them have been speaking about having a threesome just to have that experience but they haven’t found someone they’re both comfortable with. It was brought up by Calvin and I jokingly said, “I’d be their third,” he then seriously responded with, “That might work.” Afterwards both of them have brought it up and how filming it would do numbers (we all have dabbled in NSFW content for the extra money). That being said I’ve also seen their content and am attracted to both of them sexually as well. I also didn’t think that’d be something they’d be comfortable with because I’m a trans man, a little chubby, and Calvin liked me in the past.
I’m just not sure what to do with these thoughts, generally I’m good at just ignoring my feelings for someone. We’re all young and figuring things out so I think telling them how I feel would only add to everything. Plus I live a few states away from them which would also make things complicated if they did reciprocate my feelings. I’m just so scared of losing Calvin because he’s understood me more than anyone, he’s been my best friend for so long now.
On top of all of this I’ve also been considering trying to go to their college which I think would make how I feel even more confusing. I definitely think I need the time to be out of a relationship and not have things be chaotic. I honestly just need someone to listen to how I feel. If you were in this situation what would you do?

The reunion pt. 1 convo with Bronwyn about Gwen’s grandparents is rough and truly irritated me lol. She was fed a script for an apology 3 times by Bronwyn, Andy, and Meredith and still was unable to apologize and support Bronwyn?! I’m not a die hard Bronwyn fan either but Lisa was in the wrong on this one for me. Curious everyone’s thoughts.

2025.01.23 04:11 HedgehogExciting7582 AIO - Not feeling understood
Hello. I’ve been experiencing some kind of anxiety & not feeling supported. My partner & I flew to Ontario to British Colombia back in September 2023. The morning of the flight I felt fine apart from being a lot more tired & run down than my usual self, brushing it off as just waking up early for a flight. Within 1 hour of the flight I began to feel very ill, seeing stars, having a hot bubble around my face, and slowly starting to lose my vision (I was not afraid of planes prior to this day. Now I am). I was in & out of consciousness. While fainting on the ground is one thing, being at that altitude is something I never want to experience again. No medical help (some but to a certain extent), the feeling was amplified by 30x. After a few spells I began to pray to any and every god, and I was think about my mum & dad because I didn’t think I was going to get off that plane alive. I can’t say how long these spells lasted or how long this ordeal was but when I was in & out of consciousness the crew did let my partner know that the pilot is considering an emergency landing. Thankfully we made it but it was horrific, it was traumatic & I simply cannot do that again. Once we got back home I was asked to do a Covid test for my workplace. It was positive. I had Covid & being sick caused the fainting. 1 month later we had a trip to Florida, the weeks leading up to it I was absolutely spiralling. I work in healthcare & we had a some kind of outbreak. I was crying & shaking in a corner because of the thought of that flight. Flight to Florida was fine, Florida was great. Now back to current time in 1 month we leave to go to Dominican Republic. Seems like the 1 month mark is where I start spiralling. A few nights ago I was losing sleep over the thought of that flight. Specifically the flight going there. My spiralling consisted of recognizing that I will wear a mask there but if my partner catches something on the plane onset usually takes 2-3 days. If he catches it, I’m destined to catch it. If my basic calculations are correct I would be sick on the way back. So rather than tossing & turning some more I asked my partner if he would consider wearing a mask for the 4 hour flight there to bring me some kind of ease because I really think that would help tremendously. Just for the one there, not back because then I’m not sick on a plane. Anyway, he goes onto say no & he doesn’t want people thinking he’s a liberal & continues to go on about “his choice” but fails to realize I have a choice too but somehow that goes out the window by default because apparently his trumps mine. His choice (is people not thinking he’s a liberal) vs. mine (being afraid to experience that helpless feeling again) is very different in terms of “choice” I feel like the fact that he even brought up “his choice” and not wanting to wear a mask all because of what people think is a slap in the face & is super hurtful. He then brings up how we will never go back on a trip because of this. But he doesn’t get I’m not afraid of flying. I’m afraid of being in a different country having no choice but to get on a plane, sick or not.
So am I overreacting?
All input is appreciated & if there’s any ideas on how to compromise its welcomed because I don’t think it’s right that my needs set aside in order to cater to his needs of “his choice” & how others may see him. I am very stuck & quite upset. Thank you for reading

2025.01.23 04:11 ThePhantomOnTheGable Beanskey Update: we have starch conversion
I regret to inform you that the bean mash was (tentatively) successful. I put the beans through two passed on my grinder, ultimately achieving a coarse sand texture. The ground beans smelled like peanut and the orange/pineapple Tang. Mash: 5.5lb beans, 4gal water -Gel rest: 165F for 2 hours (started at 212, but let it drop to 165 because my brew system was being fuckity) -Pitched 1tbsp of Alpha Amylase at 140, wrapped it in a blanket and went to bed -pitched 1tsp of gluco amylase the next morning, around 85F Dumped all of it into the fermenter with some Red Star DADY trub leftover from a vodka wash. The result is 4 gallons of wash with an OG of 1.030. I’ll report back in a few days; this will likely rip through fermentation and clear fairly quickly. submitted by ThePhantomOnTheGable to firewater [link] [comments] |
