  There are two answers to your question.
  Most password cracking operations target a database of user accounts in bulk. As long as the hacker is not targeting your friend specifically, they should be fine.
  If your friend is the target, one or two successful hacks could make their other passwords vulnerable.

  Maybe change it up a bit? Decide that when you drink, you will only drink premium beer. Refuse to buy anything but expensive beer that is not on sale. After buying a few of those, your desire to save money will begin to heavily influence your desire to buy it at all. This has the added benefit of making all of the cheap beers seem sub-standard and not worthy of purchase.

  Yes, it’s normal.

  I think the part you need to try now is to forgive yourself. You were six. You would likely not make the same choice today. That event is in the past. Try to leave it in the past. You can not go back.

  We all have regrets. We try to learn from our mistakes as best we can and move on. That is all we can do.

  I must say, the butter is the only one these I would actually buy. Even then, only if I was going to make toast or something. I use store brand butter for baking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don’t brands make simpler names?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is money, trademarks, and brand identities. You only associate Playstation with video games because it has been around for a long time. I remember when those came out. Prior to 1994, Playstation was not a thing.

  Creating a new standard to unify and simplify things seems like a good idea, but the result usually only adds to the confusion. Relevant XKCD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the hell is there not a Green Arrow video game?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because Warner Brothers owns the rights to all DC games right now and nobody at Warner has any idea how to actually produce good video games. The Arkham games were good because they came out before loot boxes and online-only games were a thing. Now if a game doesn’t earn a billion dollars in the first year, the game is considered a failure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do i see so many americans obsessed with the concept of "this is a thing that [Ethnicity] does"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most Americans do not live in or near a big city. We tend to live in towns that have a majority of only one or two ethnic groups. My town has whites and latinos but very few black people. I personally know only two black people and neither one lives near me. The only Chinese people I know are the ones who operate the Chinese restaurant in town. My experience is not unique.
