sigh I just wanna upgrade my video card, man

More and more, I’m finding that it isn’t enough to just give one of my alias addresses. I’ll make my account and then immediately end up locked out unless I give them my phone number (looking at you, Discord) or upload my ID/take some live selfies (looking at you, Slowly), or sometimes both (looking at you, LinkedIn).

I miss the days when I could just browse and use the internet anonymously

I cannot stand how they operate over there. I currently have six different Workday accounts, for six different companies. With each, I’ve had to upload my resume and re-create my profile, filling in my experience, education, etc… because their parser blows.
