Nicely said, it’s generally the sheep that goes it alone that gets eaten by the wolf!
- Comment on Why do people call it “woke”? 11 hours ago:
Never understood this as well. During COVID the anti-vax crowd was calling people “sheep” as in being asleep or easy to control and direct.
Somehow that seemed to have morphed to “woke”, but woke to me implies that your are “awake” or “thinking”. If someone calls me woke I assume it to be a compliment.

German humor is like healthcare. Many Americans simply don’t get it.

The similarity of what happens around the dinner table with Putin in Russia.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 2 weeks ago:
Hopefully sites will rather go dark then implement systems to store and retain “age verification” data, or more specifically “identify data”.
Age verification in my mind just means people that want to create a website will now have large barriers to entry.
Where I see this going is a service will probably pop up that will allow site developers to stick a third party “age verification” platform infront of their site that acts like a gate keeper or bouncer.
Sign in with Facebook will probably become more common now that I think of it. Visiting bestbuy? Sign in with Facebook. Visiting a adult website? Sign in with Facebook.

Nuts, also why do people feel to need to park their cars front ends overhanging the sideway like that!

E-Transfer only requires a bank account, no “third party” accounts needed, recipients also don’t need to bank with the same bank.
E-transfers are similar in nature to written checks but transfers are instantaneous in nature and amounts don’t bounce.
- Comment on Anyone have one of these? 1 month ago:
I can hear the questions from grandma asking how to find the dial pad after she accidentally deletes it from the homescreen.
Other then that this reminds me of TV shows or moves that had video telephones in homes mounted on walls similar to this. You would make a call and their face would appear on the screen, you could even broadcast to each screen in the house.

I still remember going to the US and seeing these carbon copy credit card machines. Also what blows my mind is the US still does not have e-transfer.
They work like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug4zEJglde0

Maybe you and I can agree that a wall of Trucks and Trailers like this should never be allowed?
