Don't use PayPal if you can avoid it. There are enough red flags of late to indicate it's a hard 'no'.

Many ISPs in the UK have telecoms licences and can create phone numbers. So rather than looking for a phone number, look for a provider that does VoIP and get a new number from them - obviously it will cost.

When I tried the same, all of the free for a few minutes websites I tried had numbers that were known to sites like eBay and I failed.

No idea what Lebanon is like.

Twice married Gen X here. I feel for you all. Genuinely. Had to pop-in and leave a virtual hug for you all.

None of you are commenting on the whys, which tells its own story (and I'm not asking, just noticing).

I suggest you add an RSS feed detector to your browser so that you know if the page/site you're viewing has an RSS feed.

Grab them as you go.

There's a reason that I'm not a Twitter, X or Mastodon user. I'm not that kind of person. I think they should hand out free methadone if you can prove you're an X user.

He wasn't speaking loudly at all.

That CEO has definitely shorted Reddit somehow.

This. Still feel and act as I did at thirty. This is going to get sad eventually.

So far nothing like my 'parents' thankfully.
