Username Identity Theft

Well, once again I find myself getting to a new site/service "late" again.  This time, the site/service in question is Twitch.
My continuing problem is that when I arrive late to the party, some ignorant, uncreative jackass will have already registered with my username, killermist.  http://www.twitch.tv/killermist shouldn't have been allocated, because as of the time I tried to register, I hadn't yet registered an account.  In order to report the user for identity theft, which is what it amounts to, I had to register a new username (realkillermist), which isn't MY username.

The last thing before this that had that problem was Kik.  They seemed to totally not care that some user was engaged in identity theft by stealing my username.  So, I don't have much choice but to not use their "service" and to badmouth them to others because of their utter apathy for protecting my online identity.  Even worse, someone may initiate a chat with the jackass that is using my username and not realize that the user isn't me.  This has put Kik on my disavowed and shunned list.  Their administrators and policy enforcers don't care about identity theft?  OK.  They'll just get plenty of negative word-of-mouth.

Depending on how Twitch chooses to handle this bit of identity theft, they may become a service that I use, or a service that joins Kik on the disavowed and shunned list, forever to get nothing but negative word-of-mouth out of me.

Fortunately, since I'm killermist on Google, that solidifies my online identity on everything that Google provides or that authenticates via Google.  So, the moronic jackasses can't take over those identifications.

Driver Behavior

Today, I was pleasantly surprised that IndyGo driver #3030 bypassed a person that was waving for the bus, but wasn't at a proper bus stop.
I can already hear some complaining, "You're so heartless.  It's cold out there."
That isn't the driver's fault, or mine either.  I make the effort to be on the bus stop where I should be.  He and his groceries can too.
I'm glad that the driver followed the proper protocol and didn't pick him up.  Picking up from any random location encourages that same behavior from others.

Survivor, sigh

After 29x05 and 29x06, my heart is kind of not in Survivor so much.  Missy and Baylor are such toxic people for whatever tribe they're in.  Missy is blissfully unaware of her wastefulness, which is what drew Dale's attention and dislike.  Baylor is suck a wishy-washy little mouse.  But somehow the two of them managed to get Dale's daughter and then Dale voted out.  [sigh]  I don't know how the other people can be so oblivious to not see that they're making a horrible mistake keeping those parasites around.

Now in 29x07, there's the "trail mix fiasco", which translates to "eat the rich" narrative. [sigh]

I think the only three people I really even liked left in the game were Keith, Wes, and Julie.  All the other ones just have this coating of sleaze on them.  I'm kind of disappointed that Julie quit.  But, I can't blame her.  The general sleaziness of most of the rest of the tribe is something I wouldn't want to willingly deal with either.

29x08  [sigh]  "War on women" narrative, anyone?  Give it a friggin' rest.

When Wes and Keith go, I may not have a whole lot more reason to watch because I don't particularly "care about the characters" anymore.
