Yeah but like... The alternative is worse.

Im not saying it's not a shitty system. Its sucks from the top down. But I would rather type a date once and have one company hold onto that than enter my id or face onto every platform I visit and have several companies hold onto that data.

Also dont be pedantic you fuck, a date field is just a fuckton of checkboxes that is easier to use.

Also dont be pedantic you fuck, a date field is just a fuckton of checkboxes that is easier to use.
