  I lived in the US for a couple of years and when I left I signed up to Traveling Mailbox so I didn’t miss any mail at my old address. Just set up mail forwarding with USPS and you’re good to go.

  As far as the IRS goes - you can use your foreign address just fine on a 1040/1040-NR.

  Personally I think parents should just monitor their children’s online activity. It feels silly to try and regulate the internet as a whole. That ship has clearly sailed though.

  It doesn’t matter how perfect or sloppy I pick out cars, buses, bicycles or stairs, it still makes me do at least 3 rounds before relenting. Captchas are the bane of my existence.

  Even worse is cloudflare’s infinite loop captcha that never actually lets me through. That one absolutely hates my firefox for some reason and forces me to use chrome.

  Still, I’m extremely stubborn and refuse to give up my vpn and privacy, so I just suffer through.

  Exactly, we’ve already seen this in the past. GDPR is a good example. Whilst I’m glad this regulation exists, it wouldn’t be necessary if megacorps would have behaved.

  I wish these companies would realise that acting like this is a very fast way to get scraping outlawed altogether, which is a shame because it can be genuinely useful (archival, automation, etc).
