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.

Lemmy now has export/import for settings, including blocklist.

How am I to tell who is a tankie, vs a wumao, vs a Russian bot troll? It can be hard to tell who is commenting in good faith.

I’m kidding, of course. I just block them all. No one using these talking points is worth my time.

Gotta love tankies unironically parroting Putin’s disinformation.

its pretty clear. You’re conversing with a tankie.

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.

I never see that because all my devices are setup to redirect to old.reddit.com

how exactly do you think that would bring reddit to their knees?

or i can just add “site:reddit.com” to a normal search. meh.

Changing the TOS won’t change the license for things the person posting it don’t own in the first place.

If I go to reddit and post the lyrics to the latest Taylor Swift single, does reddit (and thus google) now own the rights to her song?
