Today in tilting at windmills:

There is no such thing as a "necessary" or "required" cookie. If I am logging in to a service that is not the same as loading a melonfarming page of your melonfarming site. Do not @ me I have been on the internet since before years started with a 2 and I am here to tell you we got along just fine before it was decided cookies were a necessity.

@Verso “I have been on the Internet since before years started with a 2” is my new anthem.

Even though I have decidedly not been that long on the Internet.

@ankitpati it's a solid line to draw in many contexts. (:
