Verification Codes.
One-Time my ass, more like, repeated times. I’m so tired of verification codes up the ass these days. Just today, I had to reset my PayPal password. So that meant there was a code sent to an e-mail address after the reset process was set, to begin with. Then I had to go through the obstacle of verifying the information of the account. And then even after the password was reset, I’m sent ANOTHER freaking code right after!
And it’s even more frustrating to deal with, with my bank. I’ve gotten random verification checks for making internal transfers within my account. Things I’ve done without any issue. But just one day, I got THREE verification checks to do what I needed to do!
This verification shit has gotten out of hand! I want it to just die, just like captcha. Whatever purpose they originally were intended to do, is lost in translation, because now they’re just obstacles that wastes our time every minute we have to bother with them.
Planned obsolescence/bricking devices the manufacturer deems as “too old.”
Not just devices, stuff like clothing too. Fabric made too thin and the seams far too weak, clothing starts falling apart in less than a couple years of use.
I got rid of a bunch of old clothes a while ago because I was moving. I thought I could just replace them. I was wrong.
The clothing part is the price for having cheap clothes. The moment you start to make clothes you realise how expensive are fabrics, for what they charge for a shirt in a shop a can buy half the fabric needed to make that same shirt.
Also the labor cost to properly stitch the fabric together.
