How can "what is your pet's name?" be considered a valid security question for authentication purposes?

@nzakas Best option I have seen is to answer the security questions with UUIDs. Pet’s name: 05351b53-f637-4208-8d07-b3503cf929dd. Favorite teacher in high school: 061505d8-130d-11ef-875c-325096b39f47

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

I'm going to ramble a bit, but it will hopefully come around to something. When I was growing up, I read a lot of older historical book series, a big one would be the Little House On The Prairie series. While I really enjoyed it, there are some very obviously negative portrayals of Native Americans and African Americans. I remember being angry about it as a kid, and my Dad telling me, that part of learning about history is that we have to acknowledge the people we were, and still are. But because Little House on the Prairie is only semi-autobiographical, I still have mixed feelings about this. I do think they are well written books by a female author, an interesting perspective on early American life, and as an adult I can see and acknowledge the issues with the text. If we try to get rid of every author with racist ideas there wouldn't be much left to read from the 20th Century, and it also feels like being dishonest about who we are. So, I'm very mixed, how do you all feel about it? Do you think children can handle books with racial issues like this if it's explained to them? What is our responsibility here?

@MyWoolyMastadon @RickiTarr Huckleberry Finn is a powder keg novel and to my mind as powerful as Uncle Toms Cabin in terms of racial and racist themes. My sense as a white guy of privilege is that Twain was highly sympathetic to the wrongs done to the humanity of the black man. I believe he included negative stereotypes to hook the reader of his day in order to lead to the crescendo of Tom choosing to go to hell rather than abandoning his friend Jim.

Truly and honestly, I have a great time here, because you all make it great. You boost, you reply, you encourage, and inspire! It is crazy to me that I get to talk to people from all over the world every day. I get to be friends with people I'll probably never actually get to physically meet. I was born into a pre-internet world, and this still feels a little like a miracle to me.
