Someone in Norway has the same name as me, and they made a PayPal account. They accidentally used my email during signup and I got some weird emails in Norwegian. So I called PayPal. I asked them to change the email. "You can't, because it's not your account, you just admitted". Uh, ok. Can you close the account? "It's not your account". Can you contact the account owner and tell them to fix it? "We don't have their email". Can I use account recovery and close it? "Then you would be breaking into someone else's account".

So what should I do? PayPal put a notice on the account in case they log in, and told me to just ignore the emails. I was baffled. Just ignore the emails? Stop sending them then! But there really isn't anything I can do. I tried account recovery anyway, but it didn't work.

They never logged in I think. They probably made another account with the correct details and never thought about this one. So I've been getting the "our terms and conditions have changed" email once or twice a year and ignoring them. They're still in Norwegian.

I just looked it up, this has been going on since 2015. Maybe I should contact PayPal again and tell them how ridiculous they've been.

It's referencing parents who wanted to go in themselves to save their own children. I can't imagine how horrifying it must b to be stopped by police. Police are the worst

lol this is me, about 14 years old for biology class. We had to grow seeds in light and dark conditions. For a 14 year old, the fact that plants grow faster in dark conditions is quite counterintuitive, so the teacher had an easy time to find out who falsified their data. Great experiment

How about awareness that climate change will ruin us all.

It checks out that the peak of optimism in your graph is around the 80's and 90's. We weren't just "optimistic" in the 90's. We were delusional. We were ignoring problems instead of solving them

We won the war because our German scientists were smarter than their German scientists

Voedingsmultinationals als Unilever en Heineken zijn tijdens de inflatiecrisis miljardenwinsten blijven boeken. Ook supermarkten leden niet al te veel pijn door de hoge prijzen. Die rekening kwam grotendeels bij de consument te liggen. De ceo’s van grote bedrijven zien verzachtende omstandigheden. ,,In crisistijd laat een bedrijf zijn echte gezicht zien”, stelt hoogleraar Karen Maas.
