My ID says I am, but I’m not registered anywhere else. Why did I have my ID say it? Because I felt like it that day when I renewed it. That’s literally all there was to it.
Real talk though, I almost don’t think I should be donating my organs. Why should the hospital get for free what they’re going to charge a family hundreds of thousands of dollars for?
Wow… this isn’t even the first time I’ve seen this recommended. That’s really funny.
Yeah, I learned about this as a child, since my cat would put her paw into the cat bowl and pull pieces of dry food out to eat on the floor.
I started putting her food on a plate and no more food was pulled to the floor.
The kitten I have now plays too rough and breaks all his whiskers off, so he doesn’t mind the bowl. But he’ll also get a plate if he mellows out.
It’d be very very bad for schools in the US in rural areas. There’s no way they’d be able to afford equivalent services to what Google offers them for basically free, ever again. Many children would lose their assignments to Google Drive and others would be sad from losing what’s basically a time capsule of their entire life that was stored in there.
Another loss would be Android, and the Google Play Store. So many phones would basically become waste overnight. It’d be absolutely tragic. At least that’s the way I see it.
Most less technically literate folks would lose their ability to use their computers overnight. They’d go to Chrome to make a google search to go to their favorite website, and when they see the page showing that Google cannot be found, they’d just assume their computer is broken. Microsoft would be the ‘saviour’ in this. I’m sure they’d happily push out an update for Windows that resets your default browser to Microsoft Edge (again) and your default search engine to Bing.
Later down the road, whoever buys the old Google domains would likely be able to spread some sick malware and steal a lot of data from people who didn’t prepare properly.
That’s just what I can immediately think of. I’m sure there’s more, or something worse I forgot about. Haha.
You should really just assume that anything you post to the internet has the chance to someday be public, even if it is currently private, and here’s the important part. Anything you post that is public, has the chance to be on the internet forever.
Even on Reddit there were bots constantly collecting logs of every single post ever made to the website. Some people would use it to spot bot accounts and create reports, or see what kind of posts a user they were looking to ban from their sub had made and then deleted; but you could totally use it to look at comments a user had deleted for more nefarious means.
Unfortunately, the way I find the internet works for most folks. Is that the things you want to last forever go away, and the things you want to go away last forever. ):
I’m glad to hear about parking. Pocket cars were really lame in my opinion. Traffic accidents sound super sick too! I can’t wait for a traffic accident to block the only route out of a location and have a bunch of mad citizens, just like in real life.
I wonder if the accidents will be able to block sidewalks.
Well, I never really thought about it until now either. Haha. Though, it was mostly a choice of apathy, since when I’m dead I won’t really care what someone does with them, I only really get to pretend that I will while I’m alive today.
If they’re not charging for my organs that get donated, then that’s pretty cool. I mean, I was given mine for free, so it only makes sense to give them for free when I’m done with them.
Of course, I live in the middle of nowhere, so whether they’ll find someone who can use my stuff before it goes bad is a whole different thing entirely.
It’s good that you were able to find some lungs.
