“Like cover letters or wedding toasts…”

Talk about conflating the impersonal and the personal.

(Also, he ends by saying “it only helped—and it did so at a time when a little help was all I really wanted”…but half the article was about how it didn’t work in time to actually help write the obituary 🤷‍♀️)

@perthinent Brilliant!! Even if you know your password and authentication codes, when a big tech co like Micrisoft uses an algorithm to block you on LinkedIn you cannot access your account to terminate your subscription or delete your account. I had to send a letter by courier (it cost $79.00) from New Zealand to their HO in the US to get them to cancel my subscription. They did but at a large cost to me both in money terms and trying to get assistance through the algorithms. No luck of course.
