If they think modern work is stressful and affecting their mental health, wonder what they would think of primitive hunting/gathering and trying to just survive in the cold without a latte and a onesie.

People getting to used to some jobs being huge adult day cares, they think any sort of productivity is toxicity.

The new generation is getting softer. "This code isn't good" to them is a macro aggression.

You mean the science oriented Dems ?

Those that think Islands like Guam can capsize if too many troops are sent there ?

Those Dems ? Or "No, not those dems!" ?

The Gell-mann amnesia effect but with AI instead of Journalism.

There's now a trigger warning before Gone with the Wind.

If you make it so to put them before the tamest of tame shit, people will just ignore them. Trigger Warners did this to themselves.

Fair use is pretty cut and dry.

It needs to be transformative. The length isn't the issue, it's the transformative bit that's important.

See Hughes v. Benjamin. Benjamin took minutes of content from Hughes, but his "edit" was considered transformative, because he spliced her content in a way to expose how big of an hypocrite she was.

She sued. She lost. She owed him attorney's fees. He smiled a lot that day.

> strip anonymity from critics.

Blah blah blah.

In the end, they weren't critics at all. They were doxxers and criminal stalkers who caused real world harm, and now they're about to find out.

Either you're on their side, or you have no clue about Snark communities of reddit and discord at all. These are not innocent little boys who just want to critique others.

> Protect your SSN? Your employer has it, so does your bank, so does the IRS, so does the state

Yes, because they need it, to report revenue and for tax purposes.

A Landlord doesn't need it, he can call up Equifax and get a credit check without it. If someone tells you they need it for a credit report on you, they are lying and you need to run.

How are supposed geeks on Slashdot so fucking dumb about life ?

Rising food prices are because of rising taxes on crude oil and other carbon based products that we used to power our world. Agriculture requires power, to power farming equipment and food transport, food cooling. Same for increasing energy costs, since natural Gas is subject to carbon pricing being imposed everywhere and that's what is being used to power Heat and air conditioning in Europe.

But yeah ok, sure, it's the "climate", not human imposed regulations based on a green agenda that has failed to deliver on its promise of sustainable green energy sources to replace the fossil fuel industry.

All it is is transparency. But it hardly is "safety", except with very thick scare quotes.

> They do the way they do it.

That's their problem. If my car dealer doesn't need it for a car loan, they sure as fuck don't need it for a rental.

> I don't know how many rental applications you've filled out, but they absolutely will request your SSN for the credit check

I always leave it blank except in cases where I have to report revenue, meaning : my job, my bank, or any Government office that already has access to it.

Your advice is bad, like always.

... is whether we'll finally stop seeing activist slop like Push-up scenes in Veilguard and if we'll get back to having cool Dark Fantasy epics.

It's not landlords asking for Credentials, rather they send you an invitation to use Argyle's VOIE services :

This is the same startup that would pay people 500$ so they could develop payroll integrations. They have multiple integrations running already, and it assumes your company is dumb enough to run payroll right off the public Internet.

How is this upvoted ? Bad information.

Don't give your SSN/SIN to landlords. They don't need it to check credit at all, equifax can do it from your other PII like name, current address, dob, etc. It's only required if you earn revenue and an entity needs to report said revenue for tax purposes, which is not renting from a landlord.

Protect your SSN/SIN guys.

We don't have Digital ID and I already couldn't shop at Walmart during COVID because I'm unvacinnated for it.

What does the eID change here ?
