I can imagine that the tactic used on me works - same as making the hide/close/disagree button small. Dark Patterns in real life.
Agreed. It used be worse here - at some point merchants wanted your social security number to create a unique customer identifier.
I will not describe how angry I felt hearing a shoe store clerk ask for my social security number (again, did not lash out at the clerk), but I was angry.
That thankfully did not last long (iirc).
That is just it. An app for everything, when it could just be a website you login to if you absolutely must have an account for something.
I'm glad I'm getting some peer support here and glad to hear similar stories.
I can relate, and agree that maybe the cashier found it just as awkward. Tried to be as nice as possible because I know its a tough job!
Thank you and you too, fellow privacy enjoyer!
Long distance relationship is something I will never recommend to anyone unless you can either afford to meet-up regularly without it putting a strain on you financially, you are okay with heart break (no one I've met has been), or you met, matched and spent time irl before it becomes long distance.
My personal advice based on your post alone: don't do it (but be nice about it).
Long distance was the worst emotional rollercoaster I've been through, and this is coming from someone who had a "successful long distance story" and are still together since moving in together.
But I know that that's not how our hearts work, so hoping you'll get that job soon and save up enough for a visit!

IIRC two letter domains are reserved for country specific domains, the non-country domains start with three letters.
Now I know! I was positively surprised when they didn't ask the follow-up question, but I see now they have been trained to not ask it at all.
