I've mentioned this a few times and don't feel like restating it but if you're curious about my "i was locked out of every single Google service for "fraud" that I didn't commit, don't know what they were talking about, and never got a single response even after sending them my drivers license multiple times to prove my identity" story it's somewhere in my comment history.

It's probably a tiny chance it happens to many people but it's something to consider. I had nobody to talk to. No store to go to. I lost cell service for a week until I migrated everything off of google.

Just something to be wary of.

edit: I tried to dig it up it's about a year old and .. oof yeah i'm not going through pages and pages of paginated yn comments. Moral of the story is what I said above

This one seems to fit. Happy I've never had reason to write one like it.


lol That's it. Thanks, you're persistent!


Lazier than you think! You almost nerdsniped me into seeing how fast I could whip up a crawler but then I checked the search and found out it can find comments and use a custom date range.

This is less traumatizing than when I found irclogs of me from 10-14 thankfully.
