  • This one needs to be illegal.

    Apps that you need push notifications turned on for, but also serve ads.

    For example, where I live the company that does riding sharing also does all kinds of deliveries. I get notifications about all kinds of restaurant deals.

    The version of Amazon we have sends all kinds of unwanted messages from sellers if you add an item from their shop to your cart. It can be turned off, but it needs to be done one by one manually.

    Even the mobile wallet apps that we use here send all kinds of ads.

    Like, I need notifications about payments and that is it. Stop giving me full screen popup ads each time I open the app to make a payment. It just slows me down and frustrates me.


















  • I think asking where someone is from is a pretty universal way to mean, “What ethnicity are you?”.

    Usually, you can understand someone’s question based on the context. Your question, for example, “What race are you?” Is not specific enough. I could answer, “I’m not a race, I’m a person, but I enjoy competing in races.”

    So just use context clues to understand a persons question and answer the question if you feel like it.
