Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (basically crop circles)

They're also as mysterious as crop circles in programming. I know how it works but I'm not going to explain to the next poor sap. Such an antipattern. It's in the name, don't do this sort of shit. Stop being clever. Your code should be dumb as fuck

I think this should be default behavior. Countless times, blocking is used to silence disagreement rather than actual harassment. It's used offensively as well: By blocking your political opponents, they can't tell your followers that they're in an echo chamber

Someone in Norway has the same name as me, and they made a PayPal account. They accidentally used my email during signup and I got some weird emails in Norwegian. So I called PayPal. I asked them to change the email. "You can't, because it's not your account, you just admitted". Uh, ok. Can you close the account? "It's not your account". Can you contact the account owner and tell them to fix it? "We don't have their email". Can I use account recovery and close it? "Then you would be breaking into someone else's account".

So what should I do? PayPal put a notice on the account in case they log in, and told me to just ignore the emails. I was baffled. Just ignore the emails? Stop sending them then! But there really isn't anything I can do. I tried account recovery anyway, but it didn't work.

They never logged in I think. They probably made another account with the correct details and never thought about this one. So I've been getting the "our terms and conditions have changed" email once or twice a year and ignoring them. They're still in Norwegian.

I just looked it up, this has been going on since 2015. Maybe I should contact PayPal again and tell them how ridiculous they've been.

lol this is me, about 14 years old for biology class. We had to grow seeds in light and dark conditions. For a 14 year old, the fact that plants grow faster in dark conditions is quite counterintuitive, so the teacher had an easy time to find out who falsified their data. Great experiment
