Yes that’s true.

And how did the bank decide I was privileged? I don’t keep much money in the account, I’ve overdrawn it many times, I have no record of employment in the US for decades.

He’s hoping the farm work will make you straight again.

Well okay you’re not wrong, there is always some sucker out there.

I left the USA 25 years ago and still keep a bank account at my parents’ address. Not yet debanked.

Well they can identify you are the same person but not your identity… So it’s like a disenbodied fingerprint.

I suppose they could potentially make some database and train an AI on it someday to match to actual identities, but usefulness would be pretty limited at only 95% accuracy. That’s a false reading 1/20 times, so I suspect it would fail bigly to accurately recognize people from large data sets.

I’m not gonna lie, it do feel this way sometime

Roblox is the absolute worst thing for kids.

All my kid’s friends are on it so I feel bad not allowing them to use it, but there’s no way to set it up that doesn’t allow them to access these horrible experiences without also blocking access to pretty much every normal experience.

The devs are allowed to set their own maturity level so this experience probably has the same maturity as Grow a Garden.

So I have to just constantly monitor it and manually block inappropriate stuff, but there’s a limit of 200 for blocking which I’ve already hit. It’s the worst.

They can see you’re a person but not exactly who you are.

Well it could be pretty handy for home automation.

What are you, some sort of jive turkey?

Wait. You mean war isn’t the solution to all the world’s problems?

I got one threatening letter (they are uncommon where I live in Czechia but they will write you after a while). I got a VPN and no more letters.

UK keeps forgetting that it’s just a little country now. It can’t play the big boy games like the EU and US any more.

You should totally leave then

Well you and I are different then, I downvote uninteresting stuff all the time. I also downvote a lot of stuff I already saw or know. This particular item meets both criteria.

This is a dormant tendency in at least half of mankind in any country you look. That’s why it’s so easy to commandeer if someone has the means by which to do so.

It doesn’t make me upset, it’s just not interesting or useful.

Me exactly. I keep a lot of the streaming services because I don’t want to host a bunch of 4k stuff myself, though I do often get the 1080p stuff for when I fly on planes or haven’t yet re upped my subscription for the show I want to watch. But many shows aren’t on any of the sub services in my country, so those are straight to the seedbox.
