Despite having already claimed tuition from me, the university still begs for money, but this is the first time they've sent shit to my work address, which of course I never gave them. But it gets even better. The letter mourned the continuing loss of free speech on campus, but get this: apparently students of color feel the most marginalized! "Alright" I thought, "at least this isn't some chud shit". They then proceeded to brag about how a previous year they had paragon of free speech :jordan-eboy-peterson: visit campus, and how they want to continue this tradition of "challenging perspectives". They then asked for donations in the triple and even quadruple digits :agony-consuming:
Needless to say these fucks won't be getting another cent out of me as long as I draw breath and long after I cease.
How the fuck do these places find where we work? I sure as shit don't have any of that listed online, EVEN IF you know my government name. An old landlord who was chasing me for money pulled the same shit a few years ago.
There are companies that sell this kind of thing like it was beer at a gas station.
I opened a new bank account recently, and the lady asked me about my address in another city from 25 years ago. It just appeared in her computer, poof.
Remembering back when I got this new phone number and the next day I went to my therapist's office and gave them my new number and the very next day, like magic, I started getting spam calls.
It's pretty easy. Do you pay taxes? Registered a car recently? That is accessible information for companies. Not always the most up to date, but usually within the last year or so.
