5 minutes after signing up with Pepephone, they leaked my email to spammers

Insane timing. FYI, I have my own personal mail server and domain that allows me to do things like companyname@mydomain.com (the same way you would do yourname+companyname@gmail.com for example), so I can keep track which companies leaked my emails to spammers and scammers. Spammers only know the branded email from leak so they must use it, which is how I link the spam email to whoever leaked my address.

That's the first time I get spam email so quickly. I paid for pepephone esim 5 minutes ago and received a spam email instantly from "Winwin Intro Team" (luca.s@montrealmusicescapades.com). It doesn't even render in my macOS mail client. Needless to say, the pepephone@ branded email I used ONLY on pepephone.com website and that whoever "Winwin Intro Team" is has nothing to do with the company.

So there you have it, pepephone leaks your personal data to scammers. I'll ask their support what the fuck once they unblock my account after document verification.

vodafone fucked up really bad 🤦‍♂️ they vibecoded a "new" app that crashes every time I launch it and the old one now FORCES you to use the "new" one even ON WEB DESKTOP VERSION. i've tried everything: wiping data, reinstalling, changing all preferences I could, updating, downgrading. Vodafone is worth 30 billion US dollars just to remind you. And this huge megacorp can't make an app that will work on MOBILES. I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere because a $30B company decided for me I'm no longer allowed to pay.

got rejected today once again. i think i feel lighter, like a feather like a feather..
despite everything I still have my values, my talents, my strong spirit that gets reinforced every day in emigration, and on top of that I genuinely improve every day as I continue to contribute to open source as my passion, put efforts into losing weight and actually already gaining significant visual changes thanks to everyday gym, even able to save up money despite travelling around the spain and nomading:)

is it ethical to pay for sex?

• on one hand you're essentially contrubuting to sexual exploitation, breaking moral inviolability of human body and sex, at its extremes funding human trafficking and sexual slavery, even if your partner specifically is doing that out of genuine willingness and not necessity, the money are still flowing into this system creating demand, encouraging further sex work, and then how can you even be sure that the demonstrated willingness is not part of the deal itself and not staged for the sake of your pleasure?
• on the other hand, this logic should also apply to other fields such as buying electronics from chinese manufacturers with cheap wages and chocolate and cotton clothes harvested in africa by essentially slaves (if we equate sex work value to value of any other work and not make it have its own special moral value), and then if an adult person consensually agrees to sex work, denying them in their right to do so is paternalism

so uh grindr made me have nervous anorexia syndrome and now i can't eat because i prefer to starve a little longer just to lose a little bit more fat. i literally can only shove food inside me only when i'm barely alive and/or drunk

a single app on my phone has been responsible for tens of hours of tears, several suicide attempts and constant self-harm in just past few months, my entire worldview shift, collapse into misanthropy and ultimately hatred towards every other person on Earth. not only I realize it's actively and intensively harming me without providing any benefit whatsoever, I keep coming back every time, expecting a different result, slowly losing my sanity. can you guess what it is!! you only get one try
