I did once because the driver completely ignored my delivery instructions and I called to cancel the tip. They refunded it immediately.
Our building has a problem with theft, which I noted in my instructions, and they left the order in the lobby despite my clear warning to the contrary.
I feel the same way about grocery store club cards. “Let us vacuum up your buying habits to sell to information brokers while simultaneously ripping off everybody that doesn’t use a card.”
The saying, “the thief thinks everyone steals” applies here.
Everything he is accusing those aligned against his bullshit of is stuff he has done, or would do. He can’t see the world in any other light.
One of the top reasons I finally went Linux and I don’t regret making the change one bit.
I just watched a TV series on Netflix about this exact scenario playing out in Poland. The rural folks weren’t having it but got steamrolled by the government anyway. High Water
I used Power Delete Suite but with the API changes it may not work anymore.
I got my first Linux system two years ago when I was 57. I took one of the COVID checks and bought a Linux laptop from System76. I had the choice of PopOS or Ubuntu so I just took straight Ubuntu. It was set up and running when I unboxed it and everything I need to know how to do I can just do a web search for. And that’s really not much. Best of all the thing starts up in seconds, when Windows was always taking its damn sweet time and shutting itself down for two and three hour updates when I needed to use it. As for gaming, that’s what my PS5 is for.
Buying a pre-built, pre-installed Linux system was perfect for me. It might be what would work for you too. It takes a lot of the guesswork out of where to start.
People know the difference between fantasy and reality. Unless someone’s questionable anyway I don’t think pretending to be evil will change someone. People play violent video games and don’t tend to go out and shoot up their neighborhoods. Same thing.
Good for you for listening, and good luck.
I’m speaking as a woman who’s been hit on at work. We’re paid to be nice to the customers and too many customers take it as some sort of come-on. It’s uncomfortable to be put in that position and you should be thinking of her comfort at her place of business above your own desires if you’re really into her.
I personally don’t think this is a thing. Acting is pretending. I used to LARP an evil character but it was all just role-playing. Being able to use one’s imagination and walk in another’s shoes (evil or not) doesn’t change who you are as a person. It just makes you a good actor.
It’s not appropriate to ask a woman out when she’s working. Service staff get hit on all day and they’re just trying to work.
You can slip her your number if she shows up at your place of business and leave the ball in her court though. If she doesn’t contact you then there’s your answer.
Fun fact: in enthusiast circles they’re known as skinny pigs.
If you post something public, people can access it. Corporations can access it. It’s one of the reasons I ditched all my social media that identified me directly. They can scrape my stuff, sure; but they won’t be able to link it to my actual name, face or existence in real life.
They can do it anyway, without threads being in the mix at all. Unfortunately the only way to be sure no corporation can scrape your data is to not be on the internet at all.
I don’t know what kind of person he really is, but I do know that there are tons of scammers that pretend to be him and are ripping off young folks. So your boys should be super careful around him and alleged giveaways.
I haven’t a clue. I need to go set up my profile and see how it all works.
I just signed up for PixelFed but haven’t uploaded anything as of yet.
Yeah, like 20 years ago. He’s gotten so horrible over the decades.
