Stop moving the goal posts. Also, no one has convincingly shown they can do that anonymously, but lots have shown they CAN’T. You can’t divorce the privacy implications because they are intrinsically linked right now and there is no evidence supporting the ability to unlink them.
When you go to purchase those things in person, you present your ID, but then it is given back. They do not keep your ID. They do not get to make a copy of it’s information for them to store and sell and track you with. It is presented at that particular moment, and then control of it is returned to you.
That is not the case with these digital ID requirements. With these digital ID requirements, they absolutely make and keep a copy. They absolutely use the information from that copy to track you and sell your data on to others. They use it to build a profile on you about your behaviours and purchases etc which will absolutely be used to tighten the noose of control. And we’ve already seen, over and over and over again that pretty much every time they claim they aren’t doing those things, they absolutely still are. Even if they weren’t, they’ve also repeatedly demonstrated a complete and utter inability to secure that data from third parties accessing it too.
It is completely different and enormously more invasive than presenting your ID in person.
I have. CP’s response was the absolutely absurd “we do not require couriers to deliver packages provided to them for delivery.” My flabbers were legitimately ghasted at that response, and is when I completely gave up on them ever becoming a legitimate or remotely reliable delivery service.
Honestly, to this very day, I still struggle to wrap my head around the idea of a business that, as a matter of policy, do not require their employees to do the work they hired them to do.
I do avoid them as much as possible, including paying extra to use alternative shipping. Sometimes there is no other option if a vendor will only ship with CP. Even then, I’ll typically try to find a different vendor for what I need.
The willy pete scene fucked me up for a while.
Tyranny. I mean, you could end up being the good guy, depending on what that means to you, but you start leading an army to conquer part of the world at the behest of Kyros the Overlord. I think I would classify Kyros as a sort of Lawful Evil type. He seems to want to bring peace and order to the world, but chooses to do it through conquest and harshly enforced laws.
What do you mean “planning” to. They’ve refused to deliver packages for nearly a decade at this point. Oh sure, they’ll say they’ll deliver, but they never do, just a note telling you to go do their job for them. Literally the only delivery company that has this issue with my place.
If all your neighbors shoot themselves in the face, it’s not your fault they did that.
Right? Like, I love GoG. If I’m able to get something on GoG I typically will, even if it means paying a higher price to do so. But that’s definitely not because it’s a better platform to use. It’s because I appreciate their stance on DRM and support for keeping old games playable on new systems. I buy from them despite GoG Galaxy, not because of it.
As a woman, I think if men have to, we should have to as well. That said, I also don’t think men should have to in the first place. If you can’t generate enough popular support for your war to get people to volunteer, then your war can get fucked.
Oh thank god! Until you said that I was 90% sure the end times were here! Now back down to a comfy 88% :)
Run by, or are downstream of ones run by.
Wait! I know this one!
um… Shel kek nem ron!
We try, although I wish more of our national identity was about actually being Canadian vs just not being American.
Cocktail hour with your coworkers would be so much better if it involved molotovs though… A girl can dream.
Meanwhile, pretty much every Jewish person I’ve met in Canada has been horrified by Israel’s actions and whole-heartedly support the Palestinian people.
If they aren’t talkin’ 151, I don’t wanna hear it.
Will they actually devote the resources to try to pierce the anonymity of those handful of people?
Given how rapidly they’ve been trying to tighten their grip lately? Yes. They want to know everything about everyone all the time. And they don’t give two shits if we consent to it.
Parents ALREADY decided. They decided they didn’t give enough of a shit to use the parental controls already available to them. No legitimate reason to push this shit on everyone else.
