I mean a fake plate that resembles a real one that someone else has registered.
People are probably more honest in NZ. In the US people are regularly screwed over all the time (usually by companies just like this) so we’re primed to screw over others at every opportunity.

I thought the birth rate declining was due to them requiring everyone to pixellate their genitals, which makes it much tougher to ‘line things up’

Interesting. What if you put a fake plate on your car?
- Comment on This man is from Arkansas 1 day ago:
I find it so hard to believe that hes not British after seeing him on The Nanny for years. He even looks British.
- Comment on Saw this at the store this morning, took a double take 3 days ago:
“Great for drivers!” If you still want to smell like alcohol when you get pulled over but without having drank any.
- Comment on Saw this at the store this morning, took a double take 3 days ago:
The same reason why vapes are considered “tobacco products” despite not containing any tobacco and considered “flavored” if they contain any flavor (or no flavor) besides “tobacco” flavor (which is actually just caramel flavoring since vape juice has no flavor by default). It’s because politicians are stupid and short sighted and most of these regulations make little sense outside of government control.

Also folding them.
- Comment on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years 5 days ago:
Of course, but that isn’t going to drive consumer demand in a good direction and studios are already shutting down left and right.
They don’t need to switch to a streaming model in order to charge subscription fees, and streaming isn’t going to bring any benefit to the player (and comes with huge drawbacks if, for example, you have shitty internet speeds or data caps), so again I’ll ask why? It’s just adding tons of unnecessary bandwidth usage over the current model but offers no benefit that I can see to anyone involved.
- Comment on Take-Two CEO Says We'll All Be Streaming Our Games In 3 Years 6 days ago:
And all for what, too? Just so you don’t have to spend 20 minutes downloading a game one time?
- Comment on Arizona teas at $1.59… we used to be a proper country. 1 week ago:
They’ve probably compensated by only adding 2/3 of the flavoring.
- Comment on Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone? 1 week ago:
Don’t forget the part where your cellmate is laying on his bunk 3 feet away with not a damn thing separating you.
- Comment on EA's deal to go private under Saudi Arabia is officially complete 1 week ago:
I’m a diehard ME fan and completed Andromeda in its entirety and thought it was completely soulless character/story-wise. The gameplay mostly consisted of running back and forth across the map to retrieve items.
The original trilogy had an incredible story and incredible characters. The followup game, not so much. IIRC the studio abandoned the game pretty quick in order to work on their next release which further ruined Andromeda.
- Comment on Only boomers can use this bench. Meanwhile, they're trying to get rid of their own property taxes. 1 week ago:
I doubt this is about bench maintenance and more about giving and excuse to chase homeless people and kids away from the area. In other places they just use bench designs that are uncomfortable or make it impossible to lay down.
- Comment on Netflix is garbage 2 weeks ago:
Ironically, I’ve been finding myself using Netflix again after years (stayed subscribed for the wife and MIL) to watch One Piece, a show about pirates, since I can access it at work and also because they skip both the intro and recap unlike Plex which only skips the intro.
- Comment on Will Hollywood's remake of Parasite really succeed? 2 weeks ago:
The family will probably be “broke” still but live in an expansive Manhattan high-rise apartment like so many movies and series before it.
- Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America) 2 weeks ago:
This trick also works for waitresses in Vegas. Tip well and they’ll bring you a fresh, non-watered down drink as fast as you can drink them.
- Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America) 2 weeks ago:
This is absurd. What employee anywhere wouldn’t ask for more pay? What employer is holding out on raising their employee’s pay simply because they haven’t asked?
Above you also commented that “they continually vote against their own best interests and don’t unionize” but what are you even talking about? Are you claiming most barbers are conservatives? Most barbers are independent contractors.
- Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America) 2 weeks ago:
But how do you contort your body enough to hold the razor between your butt cheeks like that?
- Comment on What was a bad TV show season renewal you've seen? 2 weeks ago:
I think you forgot some important words toward the end their.
- Comment on Republicans head home for the summer after a string of losses in Congress 2 weeks ago:
How much time have you personally spent with any of your representatives?
- Comment on Would people like a "X posts per Y" rate limit for this community? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe just for one user in particular…
- Comment on How come people have so called "sex addiction"? So much they have rehab places for it. Why not just masturbate and be done with it? 3 weeks ago:
That makes zero sense on Lemmy where its so easy to create new accounts and karma isn’t tracked. Furthermore, it’s extremely clear based on your style of writing that nobody else is using this account.
- Comment on What are your favourite PSP games? 3 weeks ago:
I just got a new battery and screen for my Darth Vader PSP2000 just to play this but have been struggling because the audio is so terrible which makes it difficult to hear the beat over the other sound effects. I had to try three different pairs of modern headphones to find one that even worked and yet the audio is still so hard to hear. IIRC the original earbud that came with it was a mono piece (just one ear) so maybe I need to buy an amp or something. Or perhaps its the 30 years of hearing abuse I’ve subjected myself to in the interim that is the culprit.

This is the person who claimed to work as a medical professional (and also a coder) but doesn’t even have an elementary level understanding of addiction? How interesting.
- Comment on Nintendo Responds To Tariff Refunds Lawsuit, Tells Customers They "Got What They Bargained For" 3 weeks ago:
People need not be mad at Nintendo, this issue was caused by the pedophile in chief.
I’m in total agreement here, except for the fact that this is a separate issue. Nintendo didn’t bring about the tariffs but they are the ones asking for the refund and deciding not to give it back to the people who paid that money in the first place, so while they aren’t to blame for the tariffs, they are to blame for keeping the tariff refunds.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Its so cathartic to read this after dealing with the exact same bullshit with my own employer. Management has no clue what is actually going on, but refuses to listen to us peons because they’ve ‘made it’ to middle management so obviously they know better than all of us always.
- Comment on Two ICE agents in plain clothes punched and tried to handcuff an Australian man at Las Vegas Airport. When they saw they were being filmed, they quickly left. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah they made him look like the worlds biggest simp as he’s still trying to block the people recording without realizing that these two “agents” have already booked it out of there right behind his back.
- Comment on Do both games & consoles cost more in the US when you factor in both sales tax and minimum wage? 4 weeks ago:
You should see how much games used to cost. Here is a catalog from 1992:
That $59.99 copy of Sim City is the equivalent to $142 today.
- Comment on I say this as an ex-coder, but is it possible to ask for a paper ballot instead of using the stupid machines when voting? 4 weeks ago:
Ah Jesus christ this comment made me go back and check which user had posted this. Why am I not surprised?
- Comment on Which version of the Switch 2 should I purchase despite them being the exact same? 4 weeks ago:
That’s great. Game on whatever you want but don’t act like you’re not getting in bed with the devil regardless of which platform you’re using. Let other people enjoy what they like too.
