Even worse, is if you don't immediately notice a new account on your credit report, that then goes to collections. -_- 10 years later and I still get threatening calls from the shadiest of shady "collection agencies"

I love the laundromat/bar concept. I was recently in Brooklyn for work and visited the Sunshine Laundromat. Do laundry, then open up the "secret" dryer door to the bar and pinball arcade!

I've used 3 different phones with the fingerprint sensor on the back (Nexus 6p, LG G6, Pixel) ... Pulling it out of my pocket is fantastic. Trying to quickly glance at something while it's sitting on my desk is fkn annoying.

I'm just SURE that there won't be any FOIA'able lists of everyone who pays to look at porn. Surely something like that would NEVER be abused in any way... right?

Ditto this. I use the EFF webcam stickers. Probably nobody cares about watching my bearded face staring at a computer, true. To me though, it's a visible and constant reminder to keep privacy/security in the front of my mind.
