It's not hard for Apple or Google to piece together who you are.

facebook tracks you even when you have no profile

I get texts about voting aimed for my sister/old roommates

You walk around with the thing on you and leave it in your house.

dude there are fingerprint scanners in phones now

even if you don't use the it still scans you

Its possible to avoid all this

The fingerprint thing doesn't 'scan' your fingerprint

god damn phone looks at your face

Apple and Google know far more about you than any secret police in history--even if you don't volunteer them information.

Just very inconvenient

And hard

you'd have to not use a bank either

Yep

The bank is biggest weakness

The bank issue is my personal issue.

That's why I haven't actually contributed anything to Tim yet.

Use crypto

Thats a way to get around it

I get paid directly, and usually pay to a middle man

Paid directly for what?

Had paypal put a hold on my account because they questioned my buying stuff from overseas

like bitch, I'm buying resin and pvc

not fucking fertilizer and uranium

Now I'm suspicious.

Actually, how do you use a middleman? I don't really trust PayPal from a "keep my info from leaking" point of view.

Well ironically, paypal doesn't let you change your info on your account

but as long as the payment info matches other side info, then there isn't a problem

and for shipping stuff, middlemen are pretty common

especially when dealing with business that don't deal internationally, or you are simply wanting to save on shipping

eg. 10 people want to buy various shit in Japan, have all of that sent to a middleman in Japan who will ship it all in one package

have that sent to a local middleman who will distribute out the bulk order

So you can have 30 people's info mixed up in a transaction making the individual information worthless, because only one person is getting money from you

Idk who tf this eros guy was but that aint me homie lol my only defense

tbh, it's the same way dark/deepwebbing works

yeah i have to send in some paperwork and shit to update my PayPal info so i can use it again because it's locked

I never had to send info in

I just told them to get fucked, I'm buying plastic

lol

Going back to the "what happens if the discord logs get leaked" paying with any service and then connecting my name as a contributor ties my real name and identity to my login.
