No, that's a stupid idea. If you do that, you have to keep track of all your stupid passwords with a text file or password manager or something when you could've just made one throwaway password that's easy to memorize.
It's one thing to do it for security reasons, it's another if you're going to use it on a throwaway account...

Note I said pseudorandomly. If I need it again, I regenerate the password.

And I generate manually, no manager.

Using a different password on each site is what needs them written down, my method just requires that I memorize the master.

You only would if the site sold your info to government figures. Check there Privacy Policy. Also, this whole comment section looks like 4Chan.
