Individual does this -- CFPA indictment instantly.
MegaCorp does this -- Oh dear, we absolutely must meet to plan to implement a meeting to form a panel that will plan to meet to maybe ask nicely that MegaCorp stop what they're doing (or pay us lots of lobbying funds to make it go away, which it will do anyhow, just not quite as quietly as if they pay us $$$)
It's good to be paranoid, but for years I have had periodic sign-ups for lists I never wanted, services I never asked for, medical appointments and plane ticket reservations(!) I didn't make ... you name it.
All because I was an early gmail invitee, so my account is just 'firstinitiallastname@gmail.com' (with no '123', or other decorations) -- I was the FIRST. And I'll be damned if I give it up!
So, so many people with my first initial and surname forget to add whatever crap they added to their signup after they must have gotten the error message at sign-up that told them 'sorry, but firstname.lastname@gmail.com is already taken' and they then forget whatever they added, and keep using my email address when they register for whatever crap they do. So bloody annoying.
I've taken to just logging into the numerous sites they helpfully send me registration links for, and if there's a profile section I may (if I'm feeling cranky) set their profile photo and bio to unsavoury things, before locking the account. If I'm not feeling cranky I just unsubscribe/delete the account.
From what I've read over the years, he's hella-fired as soon as this pic gets around.
So that's what inspired Giger's Alien mouth-in-mouth horror then? Yikes.
I cannot imagine not being able to inspect my navel, at the end of a hard day, and have confirmation of what colour of shirt I wore.
The lint collected reminds me of the way of the universe; everything slowly sheds its substance and shuffles imperceptibly towards oblivion.
The molecule detected is called dimethyl sulphide (DMS). According to the article, on Earth, at least, this is only produced by life. (The AutoTL:DR bot's summary missed that bit.)
I will say with hesitation... the easiest way to illustrate the insanity of this situation is to:
The fact is, many religions will skip 1. and go directly to 2 and 3. Some will go straight to 4. Some will even go straight to 5.
That is objective historical fact, and it has nothing to do with race... one's religion isn't one's race.. it's just one's religion.
Children aren't born with religion, they are indoctrinated into it by their parents and community. That alone proves each religion is a purely human construct, a product of culture not of any divine enlightenment. Left to their own devices, they will invent their own myths, superstitions and eventually 'religion'.. but that doesn't mean it comes from anything other than pure imagination and a need to somehow 'explain' the unknown, to put an order to a very un-ordered experience called 'life'.
All religions, to one extent or another, need to accept that there are people who do not believe, and do not wish to have outside beliefs imposed upon them. If everyone practiced their religion (or lack thereof) purely in the privacy of their own homes, no one would be offended. But so many religions insist on evangelizing their beliefs, through coercion, to other people.
The concept of a memetic virus is a real thing, and religion is one of the best examples of it. Those who choose to innoculate themselves from religion have every right to do so.
Edit: And if one's religion cannot tolerate someone burning the holy book, then that religion has huge insecurity issues.
End rant. Good night. :p

This is a great tool to overwrite your posts with random words and a link to get others to consider doing so as well.
Once my comments are all gone, I'm gonna delete the posts too.
EDIT: ..and I'm perma-banned :). Guess they don't like mentioning lemmy.whynotdrs.org ("... attempting to pillage the community to start another"). Yeah, that's kinda the point. Buh-bye rexxit.

One cannot even mention 'SS' much less 'why not drs'. I am so F'ing glad we're moving off of that shithole platform.
Americans rejected The Crown, but missed vapid royalty so much, they had to invent their own.
