At first I thought it was weird that the state privatizes its vehicle registration process, because I grew up in VA where the DMV is the DMV and you wait in line for an hour to ask a fucking question and find out you're missing two of the forms you need or whatever.
But after dealing with the license plate offices a few times, they're fucking great.
"Hi, I need to renew my registration, but my address is different and my license still has the old one."
"What's the new address?"
"blah blah blah."
"28 dollars. Here you go."
You don't even need to verify my identity at all?
pretty cool, now I won't get pulled over because this stolen car's registration is out of date. Fuck yeah!!!!!!
Mr Kitsa got into trouble with one of those privatized places (in a mall, of course), trying to renew plates. In the time it took them to "sync" it with the DMV at large, he got pulled over for expired plates.
man ive been applying at all kinds of places to get a few jobs and one of them was pizza hut.
they sent me an e-mail today from their agency that hires people asking me if i want to get a pizza (PIZZA HUT IS AN EQUAL Opportunity EMPLOYER)
so i just made a facebook account and even though I haven't put in anywhere i live, any jobs, any friends or any information about me besides my name (which i even used a shorten version of my name), birthdate, and phone number so I could be validated, facebook knows everywhere I've lived and makes recommendations of people I know.
Like in my, "People you might know" it had 10kghost -- I've never tried to contact him on there or anything. And people like 10k knew me as Stew too, not as my real name. Kind of wonder if they are violating privacy like google did.
It's not violating your privacy if you agreed to the TOS which probably had all sorts of weird shit in it. Plus don't they scan whatever email you sign up with or whatever?
