It makes sure that only someone at your home address (or who's poaching you in multiple media) can get your password. The HIPAA and all that are no joke.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Websites that play music are wrong, wronger than the blink tag, wronger than dark text on a dark background, wronger than the wrongest thing the wrongest web designer wrongly did on the wrongest day of the wrongest month of the wrongest year that every wrongly existed.

I don't know what it's like not to have Journey's oeuvre burninated into my grey matter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But they are not the worst. The worst of all are the sites that automatically start playing video.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yesterday, I was trying to get into a government website, and couldn't reset someone's password, because she has too much access to stuff, apparently. Which makes sense on some level, because all I needed to log in as her is her SSN, email, and the password she forgot, and everyone's SSN is somewhere at work, even if it's supposed to be secure. I was still a little weirded out by this woman telling me her SSN over the phone.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You should apply for a Macy's card in her name, Jesse.

The guy who called me the other day to ask mine said that he was the billing group for my headache clinic and he needed my SSN to submit claims. I asked him how they'd submitted all the claims previous (I've been going to her for way too long, considering), and he said they just needed it now.
Sure, it could be 2007 rules, but it still sounded weird. What are the scenarios in which they can be used, and in which can you refuse to divulge yours without penalty? There are no-penalty situations, right?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Ha! I told her I wouldn't steal her identity, but she said she wouldn't really mind. Needless to say, a new wardrobe is on its way to my new PO Box.

Oh, great.
THANKS for the earworm, people!
