The whole #2factorauthetification thing and why SMS is a bad idea.
SMS messages can be intercepted or redirected by attackers, which could allow them to bypass the 2FA protection.
SIM swap attacks can be used to steal a victim's phone number, which would allow an attacker to receive 2FA codes sent via SMS. SMS messages can be delayed or lost, which could prevent a user from receiving their 2FA code in a timely manner and potentially lock them out of their
account. SMS-based 2FA is vulnerable to phishing attacks, where attackers can trick users into giving up their 2FA code by sending a fake login page and asking for the code.
Many mobile carriers no longer support 2FA using SMS, as it is considered an insecure method of authentication, and instead recommend the use of alternative methods such as authenticator apps or hardware tokens.

What you should do instead of SMS #2factorauthetification is use something like an authy app. @1Password has one built in but there are others. Authy is a mobile and desktop application that provides two-factor authentication (2FA) services to help secure your online accounts.
You download and install the Authy app on your device.
You set up two-factor authentication for your online accounts that support Authy. This involves scanning a QR code or entering a code into the Authy app.
Whenever you log in to a supported account, you enter your username and password as usual, and then you are prompted to enter a code generated by the Authy app. This code changes every 30 seconds, and only you can access it through the Authy app on your device.

Why don’t people constantly using machines see results?
1) Machines have to be profitably mass produced and cater to everyone. Square holes. Round pegs.

2) Generally a pulley system divides the weight you use. Some machines use 3 pulleys further dividing the load. Image
It’s how we build things when machines weren’t around. The trade off is you have to pull over a longer distance but the pay off is you don’t have to apply as much effort. If it’s a single pulley, it’s not divided. Anyway. To sell to people, give them the motion. Image
Let them feel like they are accomplishing things. Even if what they are accomplishing is 1/4 of what they are doing. That beats nothing right? Gyms have a magic problem per @rorysutherland. They need you to feel good even if what you are doing is a waste of time.

Compare that India was forced and given British common law. The underlying structural values mapped onto Hindu scriptures and the Indians forked that which was originated in Greece. You can't force things on to people. People have to question the underlying values
and accept/reject it. The Indians took the democracy kernel forked from Britain and wrapped with APIs from their religious scriptures and made a whole new thing that generates stability and value to their people and serves that nation.
Contrast what the Americans did to Afghanistan. They not only forked the best version of Democracy but they also gave them the ABIs & the fundamental bare metal APIs. What did the Afghans do? They saw the errors of mapping freedom/democracy with their faith and balked.

Noticing a trend:
The max vaxxer who got it wrong now are playing 2 games.
1) imagine things were worse. 🙄
2) we made best decision we could based on the facts of the time.

Look fuck wit, you sound like a degenerate gambler who lost and now is claiming that others got lucky.
We know you’re a soulless bunch of ghouls. How do we know this? Because you keep tweeting about your psychotic fantasies of imagining yourself being right. Ironically one of the clowns on that side made a living shorting big claims. Now he’s on the losing end.
Can’t even take the L with dignity and honour. Instead you keep doubling down like the moron who lost the house at the casino. Mad at the rest for not even playing. Here’s what you will never live down. You wanted non conformist to be treated the way Jews were treated by Nazis.

The prodigal son story. You heard of it? Gospel of Luke. So what’s the story about? Why does the father forgive the asshole son? Why does the good and obedient son get shafted when the father welcomes back the arrogant son back into the fold?
The arrogant son is your youth. He wants to change the world. He just wants his fair share to help with the jump off. When he comes back, it’s your higher inner Self. You have to accept your youthful indiscretions. That’s the power of the story. It’s why it keeps surviving.
It’s our story. Everyone single one of us goes through that stage in life. We are the new saviour and need our shot at making the world better. Helps explain all the youthful souls enamoured with protesting and embracing communism. They can be understood as ignorant.

Reality and facts. You can ignore facts. If they are lower case f facts. You can ignore reality if it’s lower case r reality. What you cannot ignore is capital R reality. Confused? Ok “beautiful at any weight.” See the lower case f and r?
In sales we know this. We use different words based on the end goal. If we want to sell to you, we get you to ignore the small f facts and focus on the possibilities of big R realities. How you frame something is just the game that’s played. Amplify the facts you like
to sell the Reality you want them to buy. I’m not financially able to buy that. That’s a big F fact that salesman can re-direct. How? We tell you to focus on the value that can be created once you’ve attained the new thing.
