I just recently tried to log into my old icq account. It didn’t let me unless I provided a phone number so I noped the fuck out.
Maybe it’s a strategy. Smell so bad your opponent can’t concentrate.
And then what? Carry on until we need an even bigger/thicker blanket?
And where would you store your Bitwarden login TOTP if you used their service instead of self hosting?
Wash your hands all you want. If you use the door handle afterwards, your hands will be unwashed once again. Because people who don’t wash their hands will have used it.
Is this the adult version of “the dog ate my homework”?
I feel for me it’s more like:
A problem is presented to me that I haven’t encountered before but I feel like I’m expected to help. So I start talking while my brain works its way through all possible scenarios leading to me rambling on until I maybe possibly arrive at a conclusion which will hopefully make the whole thing make sense in the end.
Of course later, once the situation has long resolved, my brain will have completed a few other calculations subconsciously and I will know for sure that I was an idiot and you, the person I tried to help, will probably think so too. 😆
Why does anyone or anything need to be useful?
And maybe usefulness depends on the perspective. Maybe this axe could be used to demonstrate the importance of material choice in products.
Wait, are you saying I could have 2 friends if I turned off my adblocker?
When I was working retail in a technical environment I had a customer come in wanting to buy product X. Since I’ve always just wanted to help people I suggested product Y for its superior quality and longevity at a slightly higher cost. The customer started raging at me how dare I try to upsell him something he didn’t ask for. Other customers turning their head and all. He left fuming saying he’d go to another store.
A day later said customer came back into the store and I was already bracing myself. Turns out he compared the products on the website and read some reviews and realized I was right. He apologized and bought the product.
It was not really satisfying, just turning a negative into a neutral I guess.
Lack of bulleted lists.
Seriously, this is just peak hindsight and at the time things people did where the most appropriate application of better safe than sorry.
This is by design. It’s called dark patterns.
Why would/should it? It serves a specific purpose, just like the GDPR serves a specific purpose and covers another of OPs points.
I always thought I should try this but I have a vague memory of something I read about corvids. If you befriend them they’ll following you home, waiting for more and if you stop providing they might start being aggressive towards you.
Like I said this is just a vague memory and I have nothing to back it up. If someone has information about it being wrong, please share.

Doesn’t list knife. 🤔
Edit: it’s in one of your pant pockets isn’t it?
FTFY, maybe time to reflect a little.
