>Its easier to use the thing you already have than it is to make something new. Is that really difficult to understand? I asked which is easier to make. This is, evidently, an extremely difficult question to understand. >Whaaaa I thought you just told me a phone number is such an incredibly hard and challenging thing to get, now you're telling me anyone can easily get them anytime they want? >So phone numbers are incredibly challenging to get and yet people get them all the time easily. Not phone numbers; accounts gatekept by them. Not anyone; only bad actors. >I thought you just told me What I just told you is written in the parent post. You have the right to misread it any way you like, and think whatever comes to your mind easiest. But since that's not how a conversation works, I will ask you to exercise that right somewhere I can't see you - and by the way you still owe me 100EUR, but since I'm not an actual cyberstalker, I won't be chasing you down to collect. So relax.

> I asked which is easier to make. Which is easier to make? The one I don't even have to make, I already have. Which pizza is easier to make, the premade pizza that's already ready to eat and is right in front of you, or the pile of ingredients in the pantry and fridge? Uhh...the pizza in front of you ready to eat? Put it on a plate and eat, it's there, it's ready to go. And practically everyone already bought their pizza and it's already in front of them. And no, you didn't ask which is easier to make. > What's easier: to obtain state ID, or to sign up to a website with your preferred username and password? Where's the word "make" in that? > Well, suppose you were to lose your ID and/or your SIM - do you think you'd be able to renew them and regain access to your stuff in the same amount of time it's taking me to write this now? Well, I'll end up wanting to replace that ID and SIM for once again a multitude of other reasons, so having that identifier tied to that really doesn't increase any complexity. Its really not that big of a challenge for billions of users, its something they're going to already do. When the school needs to urgently get a hold of me, they'll call my phone number not refer to me by some handle on a jabber server with a population of one. This same thing applies over and over and over and over for tons of people. Meanwhile if I've got other accounts tied to other processes that get lost in their own unique ways, I'll have separate issues to get those unique identities recovered. Sounds like more work, not less work. You now owe me 20,000,000,000,000,000,000EUR, but since I'm not an actual cyberstalker, I won't be chasing you down to collect. So relax. Such a useless thing to add to the conversation.
