7uWqKj@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Everyone thinks their condition normal before finding out it's not.11·5 days agoYes, because the definition of normal is “within this many standard deviations from the average”, and people consider themselves average until learning otherwise.
How horrifying that must have been for readers who didn’t grow up with vampire stories.
KeePassXC can tell you if a password is secure (“entropy”, “health check”, they also use an online service to check for leaked/known passwords).

Great answer, thanks. I think the theory that they spoke German, which Harker understood but (quite understandably, given the circumstances) failed to mention in his diary, while at first seeming far-fetched does provide an acceptable explanation. Whether this was Stoker’s intention when he wrote the chapter, or simply an oversight, is of course another question.

No, go ahead and shoot up whatever you like. In other cases, like “I’m out of my job and the government sucks”? Yes, drugs still are a horrible idea.
