To be fair, ALL governments are run by Vogons.
Dammit, I thought it was infiltrated by the Pleiadians
Nah, the evidence is clear, all the speeches are terrible poetry.
I'm surprised the SSA don't have an option to mark you as permanently disabled. We have that in the VA system. It's not like someone's blown off leg is going to regrow.
That's not even the dumbest thing they do. The SSA shuts down their website down outside of business hours.
What the fuck...? As someone with a circadian rhythm disorder I didn't know things could get any more fucking bleak. Parks, libraries, stores, doctors are all closed, but fucking WEBSITES?? Christ.
Because otherwise the employees would have to stay up all night turning the Internet crank!
Most faxes these days are unencrypted.
If you know how to eavesdrop, faxes are less secure than google to google email. Or if you need to be certain you zip encrypted the file, send it over, and then call with the password... Or fax the password.
Google email reads all your mail and sells what it finds to advertisers.
The encrypted zip could work as long as the filenames don't reveal anything. Google looks in encrypted zips and reads the filenames (which aren't encrypted).
I’m surprised they don’t have a fax-to-computer system, my father had that when I was a kid and I’m no kid now.
