Checking it from the US, it looks like propaganda and brainwash fuel.

Both so cute!

Loving those nails! What color is that??

Some networks are whitelisted where as others they treat as VPNs (like the school). For instance apple stores or retail stores you might have greater success as they typically whitelist most of those locations.

Device type will also make a difference because google is a pita.

If you used that phone in the past with google services that’s the reason it bypassed sms. When using a fresh android on a vpn and off a vpn, I’ve been prompted for phone numbers.

The best bypass not attaching to previous accounts or identities i found was creating on hotel or public networks. I was able to set up accounts for nvidia shields on hotel networks and bypassed the sms verification. After taken home they were placed on a subnet that only talks to the local server.

Pick up a jar of vick’s vapo rub. Put some under your nose and in the mask if you wear one again.

No worries, it was just kinda like ‘oo this post relates all too well’ sort of thing. It’s been a rough year with a few rocky points but the drinking and smoking are much lesser and manageable now.

Glad to hear you got through it too :)

Woah that’s a roller coaster. Your post started off happy ‘Ohhh goodie. Finally the meaning of the shark!’ Rolling into ‘Oo i like cuddles but yes there is no one here to cuddle. I should get a shark’. Ending on ‘Oh ohhhh’ then i look down at my beer. :/

You could use a mail masking forward service like https://simplelogin.io/ or https://ironvest.com/.

They give you a custom email address that forwards to your main email. It lets you stop forwarding the address at any time. Helps cut down on spam and lets me know when a service is breached since it’s always a unique email address. There’s a few others out there as well that do basically the same thing. Some may offer additional goodies like ome time credit cards or forwarding phone numbers.

To really stick it to windows try out Linux, there’s plenty of comparable distributions with a windows feel. Else there are programs to disable and limit window’s telemetry and advertisements.
