It's funny how we're taught to protect ourselves online by never revealing our personal information, but somehow we should ignore that rule if a company asks for it for "age verification."

Talk about cognitive dissonance. Protect yourself. Don't give up your right to privacy.

And if anyone ever tells you it's to protect children, it's not.

Protecting children by collecting pictures of them and their IDs and putting them in a centralized server somehow doesn't seem very safe.

"Your data is securely stored!"
Yeah, tell that to the countless data leaks we've seen.

It's okay to just live. You don't owe anything to anyone, least of all society, no matter what they say.

If you need a break, take it. Take the time to experience things instead of skipping through them. I promise it's a lot more fulfilling.

It must last like 3x as long. I didn't expect it to make such a difference. Fuck you, Google.

Its backed up to my google, but its part of the backup which I can't download.

So I have to reinstall the ROM with google, use an app to save the wallpaper, then reinstall the ROM without google to get back to what I want.

A huge pain to be sure, but I need that picture.

Thanks.

I read this term in a book recently and it suddenly popped back into my head rn
