See that’s a good idea and all. I just have this thing where Insist on being an asshole. So I won’t lie. I’ll just tell them to fuck off. Idk what that is. It definitely makes my life more difficult though.
It does make life a lot more difficult to stand up for things.
I refuse to give more personal information than is needed for any interaction. My dentist can see that my teeth are no longer growing, and does not need my SSN or birthday.
This makes them refuse to take me as a patient.
by law, you only have to provide your last 4. you can give a false birthday.
According to the 1974 privacy act, SSN cannot be used as an ID number - but that may have changed, because everyone tries to use it.
SSN is a number for tax purposes. Since I don't work with anyone for tax purposes other than the government, they don't need it.
And I do give false birthdays if there is no other recourse.
Still, in the age of complete data absorption by everyone - from tiny mom and pop stores to big tech and every government in between - I demand staying as private as possible.
I hate that shit. Like you go to a store and you’re checking out. They ask what’s your email. Its fuckoff@gmail. I don’t need more spam because I wanted a hair cut. You know if they were up front about it maybe I would, if I got a cut right. Cause they take information, bundle, and sell it. You get spam shit. They get money of your information. Maybe if they offered me a cut then I’d be tempted. But fuck them. Making money off me and I don’t even get any.
Exactly.
Nobody needs my data except me.
I am getting interesting data though. My purchases at some stores are showing up from both a credit card and gift card standpoint - meaning I am getting "how did you like this purchase" when using a credit card, and some "do you need more of this" when also using a gift card.
I'm sure the gift card and credit card numbers are stored for years, and I wonder if checkout cameras have long term data retention as well.
There is a fuckton of data about us all over - and now it is being consolidated at a faster rate.
Google monitors all purchases in their email system, and so many places have "checkout with google/facebook/apple" whatever, to tie your ID to purchases.
Fun times
My email is admin@megacorp.com. Or ceo. This way they get the spam.
"Opposition defiant disorder" or something I think.
“Disorder” cause I don’t smile and take shit with my tail between my legs. That’s like add. Oh you mean kids have a hard time paying attention to boring shit? There must be something wrong. No. People have different baselines. Not everyone who’s different has a psychological problem. There’s no such thing as normal
Nah that's kids who have been abused until they're angry and pissed off at the whole world. Its similar to "Conduct Disorder" but that's where they take it further and get into legal trouble.
You could also argue that ADHD is incorrectly diagnosed. I was diagnosed with ODD. I wasn't necessarily angry, I just spoke up when someone was saying something wrong. It turns out a lot of elementary school teachers like to teach lies. I could only imagine how bad it is now 30 years later.
Sounds about right. Always sounded like a BS disorder to me.
Depends on the day.
Altho in general i'm more likely to go with "my health is none of your business, fuckoff."
It’s that rebellious thing. It’s the same reason so many of us are here on poal. It’s my business and fuck you
