Seems like you can still use trickery there but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


My experience was in the US and pre-GDPR, but how would they even verify that it’s not your real ID?


Send them a fake/photoshopped ID. I did that with Facebook when they pulled that shit to try and stop me from deleting my account by locking it.



Look up “commercial displays” - that’ll get you what you’re looking for!


Or, do bring it up and if they’re a douche, contact your credit card company and have them issue a chargeback to the company (which costs them money). I’ve done this before to shitty companies that tried to deny legitimate refunds, it works.


Remember like 2 weeks ago when Google’s very own ad networks were distributing malware?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.


Go read at your local library, you don’t even need to check the books out if you read them there.


Pretty much any device could also be removed, disabled, or prevented from transmitting/receiving.


Buy commercial grade TVs or a projector: They don’t have that garbage.

You can also just buy older used cars, which are still perfectly good and do not have invasive surveillance that companies use to profit off of you with no benefit to you.


Buy a used car, or don’t buy a car at all and ride a bike, walk, or use public transit. Might have to move to a place that has busing, subways, bike lanes, etc. but it isn’t impossible.






Every few years, mostly because I am lazy. I also limit the amount of personal information that could identify me and sometimes post things that would mislead someone trying to identify me.


“No, not like that!”

Ok fine, don’t learn anything.

For what it’s worth, I didn’t even know English was your second language: You write better than many native speakers, don’t get discouraged it wasn’t my intent to offend.


IDK, I’ve overdosed on Imagination™ and the lines separating reality from fantasy are just gone now: Maybe it was all just some crazy fever dream.

Fun unrelated fact: It’s is just a contraction of it and is, its would be what you’d use to show ownership (no apostrophe) because English is wacky like that.


Talk to your doctor to see if Imagination™ is right for you!


Never heard of it, am suspicious.

Also, those icons in the preview image look like an abstracted Peter Griffin.

“Lois, look: I’m icons now! Hehehehehehehehe!”


Instagram is toxic period.

Meta is cancer, don’t let it metastasize!


Between this and Chrome pushing their DRM bullshit to stop adblocking in Chromium based browsers, it’s a fine time to get everybody to switch to Firefox (which is a better browser anyways).




Weird that these year+ old videos keep popping lately…
