Not a federal ID, but a federal standard for State IDs. And not “only”, but SocSec card is one of the several forms of ID you could use. Not required and not enough by itself.

Between this Anthem, Target, and OPM, it seems likely that most Americans have their SSN out there for criminals to buy.

The same Europe that is home to Orban and Vucic and Erdogan? Yeah, good thing you never elect right-wing ideologues with a penchant for authoritarianism.

Nah, fuck off with your strawman. I was just describing the reality, not suggesting that it is any kind of solution. Holding them accountable would be great, but kids often don’t have that option.

Much of Appalachia is the same. If you don’t talk like a redneck, you get picked on. The smart kids with social savvy will learn to code switch.

I use a VPN back to my LAN, so my phone always uses my pihole for DNS.

Of course you can. “Free kittens, call 202.555.1212”

That reads like ChatGPT used reddit comments to flesh out the “article”.

oof. Never noticed that about reincarnation. What could be worse than dying? Being brought back to suffer more.

yeah for my macbook, i use gaffer’s tape.

just buy a little stick-on privacy slider. They’re like 3 for $10

I aoologize, I should have realized it would feel like I was piling on and that wasn’t really my intent.

I’m not saying it aint the ADHD. Not to be presumptuous, but I suspect from the sound of it I am probably a lot like you in some ways. I’m just saying you dont need to bring up ADHD at all. Just accept that you fucked up, apologize, and move on. And that’s what I meant by “own your mistake.” I felt like bringing up ADHD is still deflecting unnecessarily. It doesn’t mean you are a shitty person, it just means you were rude once on the internet.

I understand that I didn’t need to respond at all and that I was adding negative energy where there wasn’t any… generally not a nice thing to do. Looking back on it, I see that.

That’s a very mature way to view it. I respect that.

I fucking suck, I see that

I dont think that is a healthy way to view having made a mistake, especially one so minor. Not that I generally manage to avoid the same trap. I think the mindful approach to guilt or remorse would be to observe and judge the actions, but not to judge ourselves. With this, give yourself some grace. You’re probably your own worst critic.

and I will endeavor to do better.

I’ve always viewed apologies as best summed up by this sentiment. Almost every time I cause hurt or harm, it is unintentional. Unfortunately, that is rarely an excuse. The best I can do is try to make up for it and try not to make the same mistake, in the same way, again.

As someone with ADHD: please dont blame lack of meds for shit like this. You are contributing to the stigma. Just own your mistakes.

Exactly. I also inferred all this from just the two word title and the context of which community it is in.

I knew just what OP meant, based on context. Sure, it could have been phrased better, but there’s no need to be rude.

may also need a burner phone. they sometimes require SMS verification, though that might be mostly for Tor or VPN.

XSLT =P

The issue is also rampant with PS5, unfortunately.
