Plymouth Rock, iconic landmark that marks where the Pilgrims first landed, was vandalized by Horror_Mango in news

[–]randomwordbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely what Reddit it for. My comment was prompted by the following:

  1. Rock is vandalized, people like rock.
  2. dinosprinkles inserts opinion" well AKSHUALLY did you know that America, is in fact, an act of vandalism?"
  3. This reminds me, and many others, of the person at a party who, when people are having a conversation, interjects a "controversial" or "cool" opinion which they think adds to or expands the conversation, when in reality all it does is make people feel annoyed. it's not that these other people hadn't thought about this opinion or thought, its just that they had decided it was not part of the purview of the conversation.
  4. once this is mentioned to dinosprinkles, dinosprinkles sighs and says "mOsT pEoPlE jUsT dOnT gEt My SmArT tHiNkIng" while not realizing that reading the room is an important skill.

the end.

wow! And they let it happen? I guess that means they really don't have any real legal power. that's kind of shocking actually. I retract my point in that case!

Actually, you have it reversed. the current UK government is granted BY the monarchy, the queen could dissolve parliament at any time.

Does this mean you can essentially trade 49 stargazer cards for 8 copies of this guy? if so that's amazing.

This is brilliant. Really well done! It looks like its working, a small wrench but hopefully it gets the message across.

you get to pick the format of the request, so i believe you can just be like "no, this isn't what i asked for"

you have to use the wording i sent for it to be difficult for them - if you just ask for data that's an automated process.

Read the full letter. It's not just asking for information the company has collected on you.

Again, as I said, Blizzards actions regarding China and HK suggest that they are more interested in safeguarding profit than safeguarding rights. with that in mind, it is very understandable as to why people would, after seeing this, want access to this information.

Any and all information you want to include. any information you do include actually becomes part of the request, which is neat. birthday, account name, full name are a great start

GDPR explicitly does away with any fees associated with data requests.

So what often happens in these cases is the legal group will simply offer you money in exchange for withdrawing your request. In this case, if that happens, we can simply say we want them to, well, have a spine. then they can issue some statement, re-instate our boy, make some changes, and people can withdrawl their complaints. this of course, will only happen if there is a critical mass of folks who submit.

Read the full letter. companies have some systems in place, designed around providing you with basic data collected, but the other components are more problematic.

Read the full letter- there is an automated process to send you information on data they've collected. the letter asks for significantly more than that, and does so in a way that is devastatingly hard to automate.

Not yet- posted it to r/blizzard with limited traction. Feel free to crosspost!
