Of course, you are exactly the same person you were in your 20s and didn't improve one bit. Did you make mistakes? Too bad. That's you forever. Learning from mistakes is impossible.

- Majestic121 1y agoThey are surely not the only one to have make mistakes in their life. It's literally a lesson from the Bible: "Let him who is without sin among you, cast the first stone at her." I'm telling on myself too, yeah.
- otterley 1y agoOf course people should learn from their mistakes and constantly improve. But if you respond like an asshole to a comment, it means you haven't learned the lessons you should have. IOW, the commenter is proving my point.

- otterley 1y agoI appreciate the feedback.
- argomo 1y agoIf we're assessing the assholeyness of comments, yours aren't coming across all that favorably IMO, but perhaps this conversation is victim to the loss of context and inflection that other commenters have lamented.
- otterley 1y agoI admit I could have been more eloquent in my response.
- Dylan16807 1y agoTheir comment was fine. Also, nothing says they were talking about themselves, so no they didn't prove your point.
- otterley 1y agoI'm not sure how responding sarcastically is "fine." I've found that in real life, people don't respond well to sarcastic responses to ordinary conversation.

- wvenable 1y agoWhat I've seen with these large services like Google is that once they deem you undesirable (either on purpose or by accident) then they're just done with you forever. They have so many customers and so many bad actors that it's just not worth it to give anyone a second chance. It's pretty horrible for people caught in that situation. We would need some kind of legislation around this. No company is looking to decay scores over time unless there is some profit motive to be exploited (like there is with credit scores).
- otterley 1y agoWhat's the tangible financial impact to someone who's been deemed undesirable by Google? Bear in mind that you can mitigate a lot of risk by operating as a business instead of establishing a relationship in an individual capacity. And people, much like businesses, need disaster recovery plans. We advise people to have escape plans from their homes; similarly, they should have escape plans for their critical information. Almost nothing in this world is risk-free.
- bialpio 1y ago> What's the tangible financial impact to someone who's been deemed undesirable by Google? Depends how deep you got. I for one would lose access to my mobile phone (Google Fi) and email, so it would be very hard for me to get access to anything that uses my phone number for 2FA. Or the email address for any kind of account recovery. Huge nuisance but maybe no financial consequences, except maybe an involuntary trip to the bank's branch to access the account.
