Hate shit like this. Just this morning I went to join a Discord server for motorsports. Don't really use Discord too much, but wanted to see what was going on. It says my email is verified, but I need to add my phone number. Fine, enter my number, then get the code and when I enter the code, it pops up an error saying that number is already in use so I can't join.

Well no shit it's in use. It's in use by me. All Google searches say to delete the phone number in the settings, but there is no phone number in my settings. Apparently this is a common issue in Discord, but they refuse to acknowledge it. WTF is wrong with these companies. Why piss off your own customers?

What's the best piece of advice you've ever received, and how has it influenced your life?

There's a lot, but here's a couple important ones for me.

Do it right the first time, and it's better to make a mistake than to do nothing at all.

These mostly apply to a work environment, but can apply to real life situations too. Doing these two things will drastically reduce the amount of time you have to repeat something or be called out for lack of action.

Nothing makes me more frustrated than having to redo something or constantly follow up on something because it was never done. Time is a finite resource. Don't waste it

There's many reasons why the old web nearly disappeared, but I think the main two are cell phones and social media. Combine those two things with giant corporations trying to monetize everything and this is where we end up. The old internet was awesome.
