Stupidity Assessment
#366196 - 05/20/17 08:12 AM


So Yahoo sends an email out to everyone today telling us they've been bought by Verizon and so they're changing their terms of service. I looked it over, and the main thing they're changing is that they're banning anonymity of any kind and will delete your account if any information is incorrect or missing.

I don't mind that they got hacked--every site does sooner or later, and I wasn't stupid enough to put personal information on there in the first place. What I mind is that AFTER being hacked TWICE--the largest data breech in history--they're still arrogantly demanding our personal data in the biggest insult to collective intelligence in history.

I have officially retired from sucking at everything I do. Life is much easier now.

At one point a while back, they went through and purged all the accounts that people hadn't logged into in a very long time. I guess trying to deal with user name squatters or something.

Which group did you join? Did it involve didgeridoos?



Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
