March 3 prompt answer

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

Diet soda, bread, and tofu.

My other possessions, although important, do not fuel my body like food items do.

But if the question wasn’t about food, then perhaps the items would be my computer, cell phone, and of course an internet connection. I would like to be able to live without my cell phone but I have to use it at work and many websites require it for two factor authentication.

And speaking of two factor authentication, my wordpress and lichess accounts are set up with this app on my phone.


2 factor authentication is important on major accounts that I don’t want to lose. In fact it wad required on lichess.org when I became an official streamer.

But the question is, if I lost my phone, what then? How do I access my accounts?

It is situations like this that remind me how complex it is living in an age of the internet where nothing, not even applying for a job, can be done without computers, phones, and internet.

Ironically, I needed these things to even obtain the money that lets me buy my food and drink. That’s why I can’t live without them.
