@blakeyrat said in Blakeyrat's adventures in dealing with Google's shitty broken asshole shit:
(I guess if you literally mean explicable as in "it can be explained", well, ok I concede that.)
It was indeed exactly what I meant. (With a nod to the explanation being self-consistent, even if it isn't consistent with anything sane(1).)
(1) This comes back to a notion that most insane people are still, even regarding their insanity, capable of applying logic. They apply sane logical steps to insane starting points. (Example: everything a paranoid does is based on, and a reasonable response to, an unreasonable assumption that everyone around him is plotting against him.) In the case of paranoia, I think it's a reasonable theory, but some forms of insanity don't seem consistent with it.
Even if I did want to do that, Google (and Facebook and Microsoft) need to understand that everybody has MULTIPLE personalities.
I would have said "identities" rather than "personalities", but yes, that's right.
Me at work isn't the same as me at home. Me on this website isn't the same as me renewing my driver's license. Me publishing my creative writing is different from all of those. Only the most boring people in the world has just one identity, but tech companies act like everybody's that way.
Indeed, I understand this distinction well, and I have exactly that same sort of "multi-identity" thing myself.
