Didn't read Google's terms of service, and now I'm paying for it.

TLDR-

I got sucked into the Google ecosystem even though I am an anti-big tech person who even uses Linux. Even so, ended up relying on Google without even realizing it. Got screwed over by not reading the TOS and most likely lost my Google account forever. I am still trying to figure out a replacement for everything, but I am mainly pretty upset that they are still pulling money out of my bank account even though I don't have access to their services.

So I am not the only person that doesn't read the terms of service

I want to point out that the person I was sending stuff to I know in real life. We went to high school together, and they are older than me. I would also like to point out that we are both adults.

I know for a fact that here in the UK underage porn is illegal even if it's animated.  I've also had a police woman comment about and admire my Ahegao mousepad and keybs.  So mileage may vary from place to place

I definitely had that happen when the 2FA app got out of sync with google.

 

Which apparently is possible. I had to drive 400km back to home to unlock it because it would only allow me to login from an IP I previously used. The mobile phone IP's of course, change every time it comes out of sleep.

 

Oh and Yahoo? They deleted all their country-code domains, so now if you signed up with an @yahoo.ca , it got renamed to yahoo.com and now that foreign site won't send you a password reset email you can receive.

 

Same with all the various renames from hotmail to outlook.com these sites just do not give a crap if they break things.

SSSSSSSSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT what is one supposed to do in such a stupid case?!
