I had this issue - I was trying to cancel my Guardian online news subscription, and they make it painful. Insist the email must come from the address, they didn’t allow a code validating ownership etc, was a complete pain

Would an AI tell you to fuck yourself and go get a real job? Maybe it would

Sounds like a moron, but fixing a toilet once doesn’t make it a job. It’s passive income like an investment

Crypto and blockchain is tech coming up with a solution that no one asked for. Blockchain is just a database that is (at best!) extremely energy inefficient. Trust comes from the same sources (brand, marketing, advertising, social cues), it being on a blockchain does not magically generate trust.

And crypto’s biggest strength as an uncontrollable and decentralised store of wealth ignore the fact you can only buy and sell it on marketplaces, which control and centralise it, so for nearly everyone involved it’s a pyramid scheme, those at the beginning persuading new people to join to prop up their assets profits
