The problem is that the actual government is the one requiring me to use a third party company, that is not part of the government, for me to give them information so that the government can verify who I am.

I use FreeTaxUSA, and never had to do ID.me.

It’s an arbitrary requirement, that is stupid in the sense that the GOVERNMENT knows everything about me so WHY should I need to use a COMPANY’S bullshit to verify that?

Thank you, TeamViewer, for flagging my personal use of your software as commercial. I immediately uninstalled it from all my devices, and installed RustDesk in its stead. This was just earlier this year, so you could not have dropped the ball at a better time for me. :)

They require you to use a third party, ID.me, to even sign in to use it.

Fuck that.

Without that, I would love to use it.

I sure as fuck don’t.

80% of my time here has been fucking miserable, why the fuck would I want to to continue???

Thank you for taking the time to reply!

I understand the retaliatory bullshit would definitely scare more people than we should allow. Say your entire department decides “Fuck that. I’m taking my two days off.”, what would that do as a whole? Would they retaliate on all the people or just the ones who they know need a job more than others?

I’m not dumb and think that that’s even possible, because organizing is a lot harder than we’d all like to admit. I’m just genuinely curious about how that would work out long term I guess.

You don’t have to reply or anything, and I hope I’m not coming off any type of way. I just can’t believe this is something they thought was a good idea.

Thank you! :)

Hi. I just want to ask what happens if you choose to not work that extra day? I’m assuming you might get fired?

If that is the case, when they fire you, they lose even more work force, which will just make whatever this is even worse, right?

For anyone who loves retro PC stuff, I highly recommend LGR on YouTube. His videos are a treat to have in the background, and sometimes to even fall asleep to.

Mmm. Chunky computers and bits.

Meh. They may not want someone around who willingly goes against orders. Didn’t sign up for it, won’t put up with it for long, that’s for damn sure. One way or another.

God. What a sad fucking rabbit hole I just went down.

With how predatory the “dating” market apps are, I think something like this would be wonderful to use to find friends or love in a way that doesn’t prey upon loneliness. Kudos to the devs, and I hope to see this project get wildly popular. No one deserves to have their loneliness taken advantage of.

Just thought I’d mention that if you are getting a rash when sleeping with the watch, you need to start cleaning the bottom of the watch or clean it better. I wipe mine down with an alcohol wipe once a day, and use my nails to get the wipe into the crevices where dirt and sweat might be building up. Hope that helps you!

Thanks for the in depth post! We definitely need more competition in the Sims-like area of indie games!
