Verification Codes.

One-Time my ass, more like, repeated times. I'm so tired of verification codes up the ass these days. Just today, I had to reset my PayPal password. So that meant there was a code sent to an e-mail address after the reset process was set, to begin with. Then I had to go through the obstacle of verifying the information of the account. And then even after the password was reset, I'm sent ANOTHER freaking code right after!

And it's even more frustrating to deal with, with my bank. I've gotten random verification checks for making internal transfers within my account. Things I've done without any issue. But just one day, I got THREE verification checks to do what I needed to do!

This verification shit has gotten out of hand! I want it to just die, just like captcha. Whatever purpose they originally were intended to do, is lost in translation, because now they're just obstacles that wastes our time every minute we have to bother with them.

This could be a long list, not sure.

  1. AI - no more data centers, no more vibe coded junk, all CEOs drinking the AI Kool-aid need to go away.
  2. Mass Surveillance - Online, offline, and in cars.
  3. Politicians - Especially those who make laws about things they don't understand.
  4. Science deniers - no more religion, no more fake news, no more alternative facts.
  5. Bigtech.
  6. Fossil fuels.

On a more personal level:

  1. Filler words in the spoken word - "I mean", "um", "like".
  2. Tailgaters - Just fuck off, I'm driving the speed limit (usually a few over) and if that isn't fast enough, tough cookie.
  3. Lazy co-workers -
  4. No more scented products - perfumes, body wash, laundry products, etc.

    I get your list. In case of politicians I'd rather remove those who only act in their own interests.

    For your personal list: Ist there something wrong with scented products I don't know about or so you just dislike the smell of them?
