Bank security practices are so byzantine and broken it's absurd. I spent 45 minutes helping my mom unlock her Chase account today (which was locked because she sent $500 via zelle to a friend who is in the hospital!) Here's how it went:

- Locked for no reason

- Number on website goes to automated answering machine

- It asks for her debit card number (what?) to identify the account

- This is lost and also needs to be replaced. There is no alternative method, 0 doesn't get us to a person

- I call Chase customer service, different number, very similar system, but I am able to get a person on the phone

- They verify her identity by making me hand the phone to my mom and ask her to state her name (what). They also ask for her ssn and a security phrase she doesn't know, although she does manage to share the security phrase for her other bank.

- They re-order the debit card and transfer us to another department, where we do the whole verification charade again

- They send a 2fa code via sms. We receive it, but the site shows an error and won't let us put the code in.

- They then send a different code, and ask me to give it to them over the phone, which the text message explicitly says not to do.

- Despite my better judgment I gave them the number. They then do something on the backend, and I enter a *new* code they gave me over the phone into the web portal to get it unblocked.

It's no wonder old people get scammed! Force someone to deal with this BS for 20 years and anyone would get confused and give the wrong code to the wrong person.

Ironically, if it was a scam it probably would have been much cleaner than this. Today the incentive to lie, cheat and steal from people is higher than the incentive to provide a good customer service.

And the list goes on…

Every individual, no matter their circumstances, has a unique set of talents, perspectives, and potential that could lead to significant contributions to society. But it’s not just about great achievements or groundbreaking inventions. Even one simple act by one individual could change the world in profound ways.

Think about the ripple effect: a single act of kindness, a moment of courage, or a spark of creativity can set off a chain reaction that influences countless others. It might be something as simple as a word of encouragement that inspires someone else to pursue their dreams, or an act of generosity that helps someone in need, who then goes on to help others in turn. These small, seemingly insignificant actions can create waves of positive impact that spread far beyond what we can see.

Having a child, therefore, isn’t just about the possibility of raising the next great leader or innovator. It’s about creating the opportunity for even the smallest actions to make a difference in the world. Every person you bring into the world has the potential to do something—no matter how small—that could change the course of someone’s life, or even the world…for the better. Every contribution counts.

So while it’s still important to focus on big ideas and ambitions, it’s also worth remembering that sometimes the most impactful contributions come from the smallest, most unexpected places. Your child might not need all your energy to grow up and make a difference; they could do it with just one simple act that reverberates in ways you never imagined.

Something that I’d love here…

✨🧘‍♀️✨ a magic filter that shows me how I interact with my feed; shows me my most zapped, liked, commented, read, reposted, bookmarked, stalked (look but never touch 👀) etc and also my least, so then I can analyse that data and unfollow, mute, subscribe, check myself or whatever I want to do with that info, that way my feed can be pure signal or pure noise…my choice.

Does that exist? #asknostr #nostrdev #grownostr
