“This will surely fuck me over in some way I can’t predict.”

Therapists notes are stored on computers too, you know…

It would be nice to have my own privately hosted therapist trained on all the mental health knowledge known to mankind.

It’s a case of mutually assured destruction: to charge someone with impersonation, they would have to admit that they saved data that was supposed to be only for age verification and then deleted.

What app did you use to get info on what trackers your apps have?

Wait what?
