If it's too cold then I get a lot of pain as well. And I just die in the heat. I need a very mild climate to survive. lol. Oh yah. I can totes tell when the rain is coming. I feel it in all my joints.

Side effects suck man. No good.

The Facebook, Google, Twitter ones 8u

I did not make them starkad did, because he could not use the default social media plugins anymore because of the stupid new European General Data Protection Regulation without adding a like another 5000 lines to the privacy notice.
And I don't like them, they are huuuuuge! Have to make some smaller ones for him, but he would not have any free time to take care of it right now anyway.

I am so sick of that stupid privacy crap-
Its made searching the web even more limited...
Whole point of the internet everyone can use it,
now clearly everyone can't.

Sooner or later you know you will be paying an internet bill & a licence just to be able to use a computer.

... Not to mention all the new data protection paper work I have to do at work-
It's unreal!
Makes me so angry

Yup- It's gone crazy

Yeah, the stupid privacy crap is annoying me like hell. What's super annoying is that it really affects everyone, not just companies, but also private persons. Like, I had to do the whoel stupid General Data Protection Regulation crap for my blog as well and that is just ridiculous, because 1. It's just a blog about two dogs! and 2. I am using Google's Blogger platform for it and the amount of data I collect is ZERO. Yet I still have to write a whole novel about what data may be collected by whatever... and the whole "You can ask what data is stored and request it to be deleted" disclaimer you have to add is just a big sham, because I don't knwo what data google is collecting, I cave no access to it and I cannot delete it. I know that a lof of such small blogs (mostly dog blogs) I followed shut down completely, because they were so scared to be sued if they just made a tiny mistake in the whole disclaimer and the sheer amount of disclaimers you have to add and the possibilities to make tiny mistakes that could have legal consequences for you are sheer endless. It's also hitting small sits a lot - you know, the hairdresser, or the photographer next door, who might have a small website. All the people who were never selling your data anyway (in opposite to big companies like Facebook), the ones who have trouble hiring someone to write the new disclaimers for them so they are sue-proof and someone who has the technical knowledge to make possible changes to their stystems, because it costs a lot of money.
It was a lot of work for starkad to write the new privacy policy disclaimer, took him weeks to reaf up stuff on it, he even bought a whole book on it. It was so much time wasted. Time he could have spent on something useful instead.
I understand the importance of protecting data. I would not want to have my personal data being sold to someone. But that should just be forbidden by law - No one can sell any personal data of someone else to someone else. Easy as that and the whole problem would be solved.

And, seriously, who even reads the privacy policy we now have to agree to on whatever page on the internet we are entering?
I was already annoyed when it was required by law that each site adds a disclaimer you had to agree on about using cookies a few years agp. What the effing f***?! The WHOLE DAMN Internet uses cookies! What's the point in annoying people who use the internet with countless pop ups they have to agree to, especially when it is about something that is self-evident. Don't want cookies on your computer? Then either simply set your browser's settings to not allowing cookies (Yes, the solution is that simple!) or stop using the internet!

I could rant about this topic forever....

It's interesting when you have to take meds to counter the side effects of the meds that you're taking. lol. Good times.


I can understand a little disclaimer but man these ones are getting seriously ridiculous. So much.

You had to put a privacy disclaimer on your etsy? that's weird. I would have thought that etsy would have done that since they own the actual website.
