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.

Fireworks.

I live in the Netherlands and New year's eve is hell on earth here. Even the weeks leading up to it are bad. This year is the first year that consumer fireworks are banned, but of course there are already people going to Germany, Belgium or Poland to buy them anyway. And it's not just the pretty stuff, it's more like bombs. It would be so much better if it just disappeared.

    I’m in Florida, US, and backyard fireworks on NYE are huge here. Alcohol and fireworks. What could go wrong? And let’s not forget about the animals and people with PTSD who are affected. Of course, we’re not just limited to NYE. They do it any major holiday, and days before and after. I hate it.

    Oh man, even more than one holiday... Are fireworks allowed all through the year over there?

    Yeah, it's terrible for animals and traumatised people. We have a dog and while it's been okay this year so far, we usually can hardly take her for a walk at night as we get closer to the end of the year. And we have a residency for people who've been granted asylum nearby with a lot of people who've fled the war in Ukraine. I can't imagine what it must be like for them :(

    Over here fireworks were only allowed on New year's eve, mainly because of safety reasons. Every year there are people who get maimed for life, lose eyes, fingers or sometimes even die. Of course you can celebrate whatever you want throughout the year, you just can't use fireworks.

    People pull that shit in the entire month of July, despite fireworks only being appropriate for the 4th. But because they spend hundreds of dollars just to watch pretty sparkles in the sky, they feel it justified to do it at any given opportunity.
