I'm trying to log into my Reddit on my iPad and for some reason my password saved in my passwords for Reddit is not the correct password, I went to reset password and it is telling me that I can't reset password due to security issue, it told me to login and try again. I am logged in as you can see from me posting this post onto r/help but I'm doing it from my iPhone and not my iPad.

How can I correct this?

Narcos is a hit for Netflix but iffy accents grate on Colombian ears

The critically acclaimed series has met with anger and laughter in Colombia over its portrayal of recent history and foreign actors’ struggles with the local twang

The Netflix drama Narcos has won critical acclaim for its unflinching depiction of the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar, and its generally sympathetic depiction of the police officers and politicians who dared to take on the world’s most famous drug lord.

Colombian audiences have been irritated and amused by the show’s hodgepodge of accents. A character based on Escobar’s wife is played by Paulina Gaitán (Mexican) , his partner Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha by Luís Guzmán (Puerto Rican), while his rival Jorge Ochoa is played by André Mattos (Brazilian).

Escobar himself is played by Brazilian actor Warner Moura, who speaks with a distinctly Brazilian accent – unforgivable for Colombians who expected to hear the distinctive lilt of the people of Antioquia, known as Paisas.

To a non-native speaker, the accents may not make a difference: the actors speak Spanish and you can read the subtitles. But many Colombians have felt their teeth set on edge by the sound of Escobar offering the choice of “plata o plomo” – silver or lead – with a strong Brazilian accent.

“It’s like having someone with a strong southern American accent play Sherlock Holmes,” said Orlando González, a Bogotá interior designer who watched the first episode.

In 2007 a drunk driver hit me doing 110 mph. I was driving a 1997 four-door Ford escort and I was wearing my seatbelt and he T-boned me, my car spun like a top and I was injected out of my vehicle through the back door after my seat failed on the first spin. So the rear end of my vehicle was in the air at roughly a 40° angle when I was ejected out of the back door. I was 5 foot nine 275 pounds (very muscular, not fat. My waist size 32) my body flew 75 feet and I hit a street sign around 3 foot off the ground knocking the street sign down and ended up rolling into a parking lot. The officer that witnessed me getting ejected from my vehicle said my body didn't go more than 12 foot in the air. How fast do you think my body went and what do you think the G Force I experienced were?

I suffered 13 broken bones 27 piece of metal had to be put in in two organs had to be taken out but I was back to work full-time in five months.

Edit: additional information that I did not add in: my vehicle was moving south at 15 mph and my body when it was ejected was ejected northwest. The vehicle that hit me was traveling west at 110 mph

I've lost 60 pounds in the last three years, started off slow but then was able to get the weight off. I feel a lot better, I have less bodyaches through my back and my legs which I've broken multiple bones in both. I'm gonna keep it off this time!
