Do it, but you'll need to stay in character 24/7.

Actually, yes lol. There's reason for my username.

Sad it's even acceptable.

Except you have to behave at the grocery store.

I had a pharmacy assistant get an attitude with me over the phone about my insurance, but when I arrived he seemed exceedingly polite and figured it out. Granted I'm not giant, but I'm built like a 40 year old Arnold Schwarzenegger, and midlife has left my former abs stored behind a keg 😂

Funny that by quoting our current president, you got your post deleted as offensive.

This kind of thinking shouldn't be acceptable from a legal standpoint. Yet the courts do nothing...

There's also the trolls who argue in bad faith and only go online to bully.

Lemmy was trolls free at first, but then the Reddit dingle berries and grammar nazi's showed up... and all those turds deserve downvotes. I make it a personal mission to defend users here from bullying when I see it, life's already hard enough.

We are in agreement there lol

Awesome, really appreciate all the details. I'll make an account for each of the 3 and go from there.

Sure there is the fear of a data breach since these sites will have my SSN, and breaches seem far too common these days. But if you trust them, I'll take your word since you've taught me far more than I expected to learn asking! The FIS sounds nightmarish.

Any other information you think might be worth sharing?

Couldn't have been better said. I work in an industry full of narcissists, the OP just needs to regularly start flexing the part of the mind that allows us all to sincerely conceptualize the situation of another party. It's strangely fun once you get good at doing it.

Which one required money to unfreeze? Because that definitely sounds sketchy.

I mean, this is exactly how it feels these days, and it sorta does feel like the entry field for my information on those sites isn't that safe lol. Let alone professional, makes you wonder if the sites legitimate. 🥴
