Non sequitur answers are your best friend here I think. At least for me

My password is pretty iffy and I've had no attempts to hack my steam. Probably cuz I don't have much that hackers would want

Hacked is a wide term nowadays. It has a different meaning than it originally did.

Security questions are pretty much always about easily looked up facts. Social media has rendered them non-secure if they're used as intended.
(I personally put "answers" that are the same alphanumeric-symbolic garbage as my passwords, and save them in the notes section of my password manager entry.)

Reply to LPT: If you got your pets gifts this Christmas they didn't end up liking, consider donating them to your local animal shelter. by UnforgivingPoptart
I mean, at first I wasn’t sure what on earth the animal shelter would do with them, but I guess at the end of the day, dildos are probably chewable.

Sounds like you can buy a gift card for yourself for this occasion

Reply to LPT: If you are hurting this year for money and you don't have a lot for your kids for Christmas/holidays, hide what the gifts you have, make a treasure hunt with clues and riddles, and stretch it out to give them a great experience. by pinheadbrigade
Brilliant. To add to this, tell them if they don't find the presents they won't get Christmas dinner but they won't know there aren't any presents to find this way you don't have to spend money on dinner.

Reply to comment by deezx1010 in LPT: People don't necessarily like receiving the "extra strong" version of the thing they're known for liking as a gift. by SpyralHam
So 8-9 months out of the year I’m essentially a half time stay at home dad, drive the daily 4 hours taking 2 kids to and from school, my wife works from home but she has a stressful job as an engineer. 3-4 months out of the year I prepare tax returns. On a good day I can knock out 12-17 returns in a day. Last year I did somewhere between 850-900 federal state and local income tax returns. There is no relaxing during tax season, you can relax either on April 16th, or when the extensions are completed. I wake up, work, come home, help out the girls to bed and crash

Or just… be direct with them? Kids appreciate honest and direct communication, all the research shows this

I gave my dog a toy...he ripped it apart. I think he hated it... fluff everywhere.

Reply to LPT: If you want your non-dominant nostril be dominant instantly, lie down and face the direction in which your dominant nostril is currently active. If it’s the left nostril, face left, if it’s right nostril, face right. Notice after a few seconds, your other nostril is starting to be dominant. by Pr0tanoia
What the heck is a dominate nostril? My nose sorts out the breathing itself.

But that would make it harder to see at night.

That's a bit scary. What if you buy a game from a reseller website. Can that reseller then recover your account using that code and some social engineering?
