This screenshot is from July 2025 when I got hit with a paywall and was served with a ton of cookies, so I set my VPN to UK, lol.

EDIT: This was around the same time as POTUS hit UK with tariffs.

Stop using any sites that require ID.

Ditto. Also:

• Try to use Memoji to make fake ID
• Go to the mall =O
• Go to the library
• Go to the brick and mortar places I used to visit before getting everything online (eg. bank, fam owned businesses)
• Talk to people instead of AI (going to practice that this weekend)
• Go for a walk outside instead of updating the firmware on treadmill

• Learn to plant food in addition to flowers
• Use iPhone to make phone calls
• Maybe buy a newspaper… maybe
• Use my cookbooks more (after I dust them off)
• Think of a new name/alias(es) for myself and start acting the part

…just to name a few.

Check out DuckDuckGo, they also have an email alias forwarding system like SimpleLogin. I have a different email address/alias for each account that I have and they all end up in my Proton inbox. Also, you’re able to reply and send email with the DuckDuckGo address from Proton mail.
