I am everything you hate about people on the internet. I am here to help.

[Blacklight]

I am male, mid 20's and grew up with this technology.
Wondering what something means?
Wondering how to do something?
Wondering how your kids did something?
Wondering if you should let your kids do something?

What, the flying fuck? Sounds fun!

Opoponax. me too [sympathy]

. You still here?

[Blimey, scottishmummy has totally changed tone. Also signature typos]

What grinds my gears, OP, is that fucking Argos or Tesco or whatever, want a password with two case changes, a number, three symbols and my mother's maiden name. Whereas my brain only has the ability to remember three actual passwords, and tesco aren't getting the good one. And I'm happy with my correcthorsebatterystaple anyway.

How the hell do I satisfy the needs of utterly insecure websites for a 'secure' password, while keeping secure passwords secure? And memorable?
This is what I find most infuriating about teh interwebz.

Also on right now - could that be why I want to poke OP in the eye? Cos I is oversensitive?

What's more, the one comment I made with somewhat of a hidden meaning, not one person has picked up on.

That's because, frankly, your posts are a lot more dull, a lot less funny and notably less well-informed than everyone else's. Write in a more entertaining manner and we'll probably pay more attention.

No, Boudica, we all want to poke the OP in the eye. Nowt to do with tits/hormones/etc. It's not you, it's him.

Use the same password with the same numbers that mean something to you, but add a couple of characters specific to the website's name at a predecided point. Don't put them on the end or at the beginning. Pick a couple of short easy words (because lots of websites have a character limit), eg bird and red and your number is 89, pick a place where the capitalisation happens. Your password for a website that is called www.period.com is biPErdred89& or BIrdrpered89& or whatever your rule is. Leave the & off if you don't need a symbol or it won't let you have one. If you forget your password, then you only have a few options to choose between but it's not easily guessable or much more crackable than something totally random.

I'm up for poking the OP in the eye, too. As long as I don't have to actually touch him. Is there an app for that?

Opopanax, I think I am about to. Spooky.

Steady on ladies. Remember OP is just a boy. Surely some sympathy has to be issued here? After all, he has to go around with a daft appendage flopping about between his legs all day. Poor love.

Here, OP, have some .

Spooky. Maybe the levels of irritation brought all our periods on at once in one giant hormonal knot of crossness.

Also, BLOOD. Mmm. Blood. Kill.

Actually, I should go to bed rather than kill. I have to be up too early tomorrow.

Didn't you mean ?

Oh come on. We were having a civilised chat about encryption last night. And now you're back to Mystic Matthew.
I don't have time for cryptic comments about 'hidden messages'. I have two children to play games with.

i'm going with 'couldn't give a shit' too.

#flying fuck @Blacklight you're forgetting that as bitches we'd be too stupid to see anything unless it was shoved in our faces apart from your arrogance obviously

Really low sympathy beg [appalling use of dead mother]

At 25 you really should have grown up and taken responsibility for yourself by now. Take notes from above about what being grown up means

he's too clever for us delicate ladies

OK, so lets look at this logically, where exactly have I said ANYTHING condescending about women? Could someone please show me?

i don't think he'd notice that daft appendage its got to be long enough to flap about and from whats he's said so far, its not.

there, they're, their.

I am male, mid 20's and grew up with this technology. (clearly because being make, young and growing up with technology are enough credentials. And more than we can possibly achieve, as females, any age and mostly grown up with or into this technology)
Wondering what something means?
Wondering how to do something?
Wondering how your kids did something?
Wondering if you should let your kids do something?

People being overly sensitive to something as innocuous as words on a screen

Welcome to the internet; where the people you hate the most is. YOU.

You brought gender in to the thread. You advertised your maleness and youth as a selling point to help us understand the internet and stuff.

We pointed out that not being male or young didn't mean we didn't know what things were or why our children were doing something.

If anyone swaggers in here and tells us they're here to help us, they get their arse on a plate. As DH said "Arrogant little twerp"

And so to bed for me.

blacklight did you post this thread on reddit? NO.

You came to mumsnet to post it. I'd say you regret it in fairness. Whatever your preconceptions were, you got a roasting. Can you not see that you deserved it? If you don't see that you need to give up computers for a while and gen up on Self-awareness.

I'm everything you hate about Los Angeles, I'm self-aware, I like yoga, buddism, I've a psychology degree which is useless and I've had a bit of psychotherapy. So listen to be, absorb the reaction here. We can't all be wrong. You were condescending and this thread is nothing more than the logical and predictable consequence of that.

Actually, scrap that, not reddit, I know that's like a scrap book and you'll pick up on that and focus on that only and miss the point. I mean, did you post this on a forum with men and women. NO you did NOT

Giddy! absolutely. That's it exactly .

Your first three words were "I am male". How is that a qualification for anything at all?
