I am absolutely fucking SICK of all the unpaid work required to simply exist in the techno-hell that is 2026. I've just spent half an hour trying to take a photograph of my passport that Wise.com will accept – to no avail. They now want me to do something involving live photographs of myself and my passport using my smartphone. JUST FUCK OFF. Let's just let the money launderers do whatever they want, eh? Let the mysterious people who might want to pay my bills do so. Let the people who want to login to my IKEA account to use my 173 points do that too. I reckon I'd save about a day a week if I didn't have to do this shit any more. And given that billionaires are screwing over society far more comprehensively than any "organised crime", I just don't give a shit. Let them take it. Let them all take all of it. #eat_the_rich

@janeishly@beige.party After 20 years, I'm in the process of closing my eBay account. I bought and sold tens of thousands of pounds worth of items on the platform over the years. Suddenly, they need a scan of my passport to pay out £14 to the same account I used for two decades. Yeah, right.

@janeishly@beige.party Hear, hear. It is exhausting. Infuriating. Exasperating. Enraging.

@janeishly@beige.party so I'm not the only one being fed up with all these complications? Just today I was thinking I don't want to have to do anything with all this anymore, I want just to get old in peace.

@janeishly@beige.party Yesterday I went to the Court House with my identifying documents, to have a stranger verify who I am. Very surreal to need a stranger and assorted bits of plastic to confirm my identity.😐
