[ID: The video begins with a person showing the package for a padlock. Over the video is a TikTok comment which reads "master lock has a bounty on this mans head". The person making the video begins narrating: "You won't believe this lock's special feature. It's a Master Lock model 570 maximum pick resistant pad lock. It has 5 pins, including some security pins and, if you look carefully inside the key weight, you can actully see where they put the disappointment." The video ends with the person jamming a pick into the lock, which opens it instantly. end of ID]

As a lockpicking hobbyist: it really is like that.

I have many padlocks (and other, uh, lockable devices) to which I probably have the keys somewhere but it's frankly quicker to pick (or in some cases, technically bypass but what most people would still call picking) the lock than find the right key.

And usually yes, that quickly.

And those tiny padlocks, to go on luggage (or, uh, other things that need tiny locks)? No need even for lockpicks, a paperclip will suffice to open it in 0.1s

Now I'm used to seeing this sort of thing as I frequent the lockpickinglawyer's youtube channel so I am familiar with how Masterlock's products consistently fail to resist even the most low skill picking. Which is why when I heard the brand "masterlock" and saw the person had a wave rake (a tool for low skill picking) I knew this wouldn't take long...

I was not expecting the visceral nature of this picking; the single thrust and twist, the casual toss, the verbal disdain, the sense like you just watched something be swiftly gutted.

It was an experience.

Lock-picking in videogames: takes precise skill, very quick fingers and accurate clicks and patience to make it a viable aspect of gameplay

Lock-picking in real life:

infidelity arcs make me want to cry. like my dude. you're MARRIED. what are you DOING. "but it's sooo dramatic! it's so angsty! it's so exciting because it's forbidden!" you know what ELSE it is? IT'S WRONG

What I have learned in the past few months: you can be angry and disappointed in someone’s actions AND you can still love them. You can celebrate the good they’ve done AND call for them to do better. You can still have empathy for them AND admit that they’ve massively effed up and have no excuses for doing so. The world is dark as is, you don’t have to close the door entirely on something that has brought you light.

why do we do anything really

For the glory of our Lord and Savior?

Our Lady of Fatima is one of the most revered apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Catholic Church.

The Feast of Our Lady of Fatima marks the date she first appeared to three shepherd children in 1917 in Fatima, Portugal.

The messages delivered during these apparitions included a call to repentance, prayer and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

a twitter thread that actually killed me

this girl has zero game lmao, you don't date people for their politics you date them for their values. Political parties are not values they're gravity wells where personality disordered individuals go to validate their personality disorders. "I can't find a masculine man in my feminine-leaning political party" oh no Becky really? you are trying to date feminine men asking them to be masculine for you, but masculine men aren't sitting around labelling themselves liberal or conservative they're just being manly.

Humans are not the “dominant” species. Humans aren’t shit and we aren’t special or more important than any other species.

Show me a chicken playing dark souls and I’ll be inclined to agree.
