Have no idea what Otto[.]de is, nor do I have any plans to find out. But god damn thats a long as time. Its the equivalent of 9993 years if anyone was wondering...

It's something I've seen slowly starting to emerge over the course of the last year or so. Maybe even longer. There's accounts that post stories to designed to shock people into thinking India is a terrible place. Like I get it. India does have issues. And it does have issues with sexual violence as well. But its a shame those conversations seemingly cannot be had without resorting to racism. I hope this site us different.

Especially if you get an entire string of them because somehow you didn't do it right.

A huge post about how to create a Facebook business account without a personal account. The whole thing was filler text and ambiguous sentences like this

The internet is dying, but it is being killed!

Remember when the web didn't suck?

What is this? Some sort of 'protect the children because they're totally not using apples and soda cans' bullshit?

Why is this in any way necessary or even useful?

Edit: Just discovered this was about tobacco, making this even stupider since this product isn't for tobacco, it's for cannabis. https://dclcorp.com/blog/news/pact-act-impacts-vape-industry/

I pay all my bills online so I'm used to navigating logins and payment apps. I never have nearly as much trouble paying credit card bills.

My password wasn't working, so I tried recovery. The recovery asked for my email, birthdate, zip code, and last 4 digits of my SSN. All things I know well, but they say it's wrong. Now I'm locked out of my account for the 2nd time in two days....

I almost think it's a conspiracy to enable charging people more late fees.

Why is one book in the middle of series narrated by someone else? The Zoey Ashe series did the same thing. Mildly frustrating.

They said they submitted it online and gave me the temporary registration paper. That was at the end of last month. I checked the status tonight and it is still not under my name in the dmv database. The last thing I need is an ex-boyfriend abusing the badge to pull me over and harass me because the registration is late from the dealership. Call me paranoid, but I now carry copies of my registration on me, as well as in my car now, along with copies of the bill of sale. I live in a small town where some ex could very well be setting me up to be screwed over. Welcome to my life, everyone.

Note: They say it takes 15 to 30 days to have the registration be up to date in the dmv system. DMV has one week from today to make that window of time happen for me here. I desperately bought a used car because I had no way to get to work. It was very low budget. If someone screws me over between the dealership and DMV, I’ll need a lawyer. I’m sure there will be so many comments saying, “don’t worry!”, or “it hasn’t been 30 days yet!” I haven’t had a registration take 30 days in the past.

I know its easier than ever to dunk on how terrible reddit has gotten, but honestly? What is this? How is is safer to deliver this content to kids viewing reddit on a tablet or PC or in the app? Why even create the bs excuse?

They could just have easily told the truth an displayed a message like "Content is limited. Open in the app to view." It's still a jerk move, but at a minimum its honest.

Context: This is the second year I've been trying to hit 69% battery at 4:20 on 4/20.

It's stupid and juvenile, but I've set a goal, damn it, and now I have to wait another year to try again. 😆

I don't particularly want my new profile to have that meth chic look.

I'm looking for some good reading on how to, eventually, best help be a step parent to my partner's children and NEARLY ALL books are geared toward the woman's perspective as though men don't want to be a strong teacher and develop these kids into healthy adults. Ugh!

Thanks for listening to my rant.

The EFF has been calling for national private legislation for a while but now that we have something on the table they are criticizing it. They are calling for state level laws but the problem with local laws is that there are 50 different states for companies to try to keep track of. The other problem with local legislation is that it is hard to enforce as Google or who ever else may not be based in the state that there users are in and each state will be treated differently and will receive different levels of support. We need unification so that companies know and meet the requirements. States are simply to small to be effective against a company.

Even if the privacy act is not completely perfect it can always be expanded or revised in the future. We need something to be passed as technology has surpassed public awareness.

Tried logging into Experian and NONE of my information is working. Wonderful!

One of the buttons laps the stopwatch, the other resets the entire session clearing all lap markers and stopping the counter. Better not forget which is which, especially given that you're probably timing something in the physical world not paying much attention to your phone...

I thought the woman handing me this was going to ask for help reaching something, but she was handing this out to everyone.
