Agreed. I know it must be inconvenient to come across this thing. But people have to realize, it is done for a reason.
You wouldn't want anyone to pretend they're you online and ruining your credibility and reputation.
- Comment on Are all phone calls voip (voice over Internet protocol) now? 16 hours ago:
It's starting to feel that way. The ISP I use that also serves telephone, only serves VoIP and I've had other services before do the same.
Like, why do that when I've gotten a Google Voice number for free to use?

Funny because THEY were the ones causing the country to go in distress.
- Comment on Corporate astroturfing is the norm 1 day ago:
There are people who are hired specifically to pad reviews. They're easy to spot though. Every 5 star review reads exactly the same even if it's different wording.
"This app changed my life!"
"I was looking for so long to have an app like this so I'm happy this app exists!"
"This app is so easy to use and install, I don't understand why people are complaining about it"
If you want true honesty, read some of the 3 star reviews and below.
- Comment on When you have to use multiple browsers because one place doesn't work 2 days ago:
I cleaned the cache like 2 or 3 days ago. Even then, because of my browsing habit that would've made it go to a gig again, ProtonMail still loaded fine.
And not 2 minutes longer after posting this - ProtonMail worked. I don't know sometimes, I just don't with these things.

I always almost wonder what exactly villains do when they've failed to beat the superhero and didn't get caught. Now we know.

The image says otherwise, fuckwad. Now shut up and eat the 5 days.

- Comment on What is Reddit doing 1 week ago:
It's been like this for quite some time now.
And anytime you use a browser, you'll always be nagged to continue viewing through browser or use their app. It comes up so obnoxiously and I swear it slows you down. They also make the viewing experience subpar unless you use the app.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 week ago:
I don't hate veganism.
I just don't like the militant and pompous attitude that some vegans seem to possess, that they feel that they have to flaunt their vegan lifestyles on others over.
Yes, go eat as many vegetables as you like, go eat meat alternatives and whatever. You do you, eat what you want. But I don't want to ever have someone like that coming up to my face and tell me what I'm allowed to eat in their eyes.

It's already bad enough that Florida is practically a small fraction of this in practice.
- Comment on [Serious] What is project 2025? What kind of risk is involved? 2 weeks ago:
And it is something he has spent 4 years trying to do. We've seen him cycle through so many people in his administration, that is Trump's we're talking here. He'd bring this guy in, he'd last 2 months, then he'd leave. Some people he acquired, lasted just a week and few a day.
It's because he was wheeling around to find the loyalists he needed that won't challenge him or feels that they aren't up to snuff with his requirements. That's a dangerous precedent to be functioning under as a president. Normally, presidents stick to who they have because they've picked carefully and they pick bright minds in the right places. Not a lot of presidents had a lot of great people, but they can say that they were far, far more qualified than anyone Trump has personally assigned.
Even George W. Bush's administration was better than Trump's.
But yeah, the 4 years with Trump, will exactly be repeated here in Project 2025. Except, far worse than ever and it'll all be unchallenged. This isn't even about trying to play into people's fears. The 4 years with Trump, he turned this country into his playground. If we have 4 more years of him, he's going to turn it into his amusement park.
And no I don't want to hear arguments from people going like "well, it's only 4 years of him and once it's over, he can't run again!". How the fuck would you know? If impeaching the bastard twice didn't do anything, do you think he's going to abide by term limit rules? He might just override that and make himself dictator for the rest of his life.
- Comment on [Serious] What is project 2025? What kind of risk is involved? 2 weeks ago:
In my own words...
Project 2025 is a blueprint of what Republicans (particularly Trump) have in mind in what they want to do to this country if they get power again.
It's literally the ultimate plan of all of the collective Republican psychopaths. This is the ultimate dream a lot of those white-trash supporters would want.

One would think, that if these sites and anywhere that applies Captcha at all, that if there were puzzles to solve to tell the difference between Bot or Human. That a human would have a likely chance to mess it up, whereas a Bot or AI are designed to do things flawlessly.
I bet the creator of Captcha didn't have the thought process to think about that.

No because this was probably part of their plan to corrode the world.
- Comment on UCLA, UC Riverside students petition to remove Starbucks from campuses, they want the licensing agreements suspended until the company ends its union-busting campaign 3 months ago:
In a show of solidarity, the students plan to deliver petitions with more than 1,500 signatures to the two universities this week.
Petitions. Don't. Work. Especially with 1,500 signatures, because Starbucks will just scoff at that and carry on. Really dumb move, guys. If this somehow works then fine but historically speaking, has petitioning ever worked?
“As a company, we respect our partners’ right to organize, freely associate, engage in lawful union activities and bargain collectively without fear of reprisal or retaliation — and remain committed to our stated aim of reaching ratified contracts for union-represented stores in 2024,” he said.
Except the part that you guys elect to omit, is that you've purposefully allowed stores to unionize and then you've went to shut them down. You're full of shit, sir.
The raise management was referring to is an automatic pay hike workers already get each year, Gillespie said.
That's corporate tactics for you.

- Comment on What If We Just...Stopped Working? - Second Thought 5 months ago:
Okay, I wish some people would stop going with the hyperbole that the moment people did something like this, it'd equal instant chaos. Not to say it wouldn't happen, but the fact that people always project it as immediately happening, is getting old.
That turned me off from the video. It's about as bad as a video I once watched, that toyed with the matter of what would life be without the government. And in that video, it went totally batshit with how there would be no water, schools would be poorly maintained and everywhere else would be post-apocalyptic. Like, what the fuck kind of scenario does that have to do without a government? There's more variables at play with that kind of scenario than being without a government. I digress.
But for the subject at hand, I've thought often about this sort of thing. I think if we stopped working, things would just be majorly inconvenient. I can realistically see stores being shoplifted because after a while, people see no point in waiting and getting off because there would be no one monitoring the cameras because everyone staffed at the store wouldn't be there anymore.
I just find it hard to imagine officers, nurses, doctors .etc just giving up working because those are civic essentials we can't really go without. A doctor midway during surgery just throwing their arms up and saying "fuck it"? No, I find it a little unrealistic. They'd be a murderer by negligence and I think that's something they can't live with.
I can mostly see lots of retail workers, lots of fast food workers, lots of office workers, lots of construction workers .etc abandoning their jobs more that'll affect those industries and making an impact. It'll just make things incredibly inconvenient and frustrating.
Now, what I'd want to see is people completely stop paying taxes every year. Millions of people, no longer paying taxes. Does it dare the government to arrest everyone or what? That'd be an entertaining thought.
- Comment on When someone says landlords are asking for tips 5 months ago:
They don't need to ask for tips when they slide in convenience fees into your billing, like mine does. So not only has my rent jumped $20 up, but it's also an additional $5 BECAUSE of the stupid fucking fees. Fuck landlords.
- Comment on I'm not asking to be rich. 6 months ago:
I don't want to be filthy rich because I think I'd do a lot of dumb things more than I would doing charitable things.
I just want to be paid enough so it doesn't feel like I look at how little I have left to play around going "eh, I'm okay with this" when I know I'm not okay with this in the back of my mind.
