  • I spent about a week working a few hours a day deleting all of my posts and comments. Couldn’t be bothered to spend the $20 for shreddit to do it for me so I did it myself.

    THEN I deleted my account. I “deleted” my Facebook account like 8 years ago but then ended up making a “new” one last year to use the marketplace. Didn’t want to use my new email address so I used my old one because I treat it like a burner email nowadays. Old email address ended up being the same one I used when I originally created my Facebook account and lo and behold Facebook never deleted anything. So I don’t trust companies when they say they will delete everything.

    I’m not even sure Reddit actually deleted all my posts and comments but I feel better about it.







  • I recently went in because I had a thunderclap headache, thought it was about to die from a brain aneurysm. No insurance. They did 1 CT scan and billed me for a Head CT, Neck CT and a Cervical Spine CT, each costing over $3K. After months of calling their billing department I ended up having to setup a payment plan before they sent it to collections. Not a single person in the billing department, up to and including the head of billing, could tell me the difference between a neck CT and a cervical spine CT. Still on the hook for over $11K. Probably going to have to file for bankruptcy soon. My life is effectively over.


  • If a school or library receives e-rate funding then they are required by law to monitor students online activity and protect their privacy from 3rd parties. They also typically have security practices that must be in place for their insurance company. The school board and parents could whine and complain about student privacy all they want but the law and their pocketbooks will make these decisions for them
