Really? I don't do it a ton because I don't really like carrying cash, but I can't think of a time when someone's looked at me weird, my dealer practically insists on it and the local tradesmen all seem to like it so much they give me a discount.

We know.

Hol'up is Carmack a manosphere weirdo?

No one implied that.

Does that make the Wachowskis some kind of prophets to them?

I'd argue it's not the inevitable outcome of capitalism. The grifters are connecting and feeding off each other like never before though. Trump/Tate/Farage/Rogan/Jones/Brand/Peterson/Shapiro are a few that spring to mind. They're probably not sitting round planning stuff (well Shapiro probably is in the dorkiest way possible) but they amplify each other, vouch for each other etc etc.

They're parasites with no moral compunction, they spot a glitch where they can get support, money and power and exploit the shit out of it with no regard to the consequences.

To my mind they harken back to the bullies of the 90s (and I'm sure before) and appeal to that mindset, wokeness bothers them because it represents progress that patches the glitch. I could ramble for hours but I've no solution, I wish someone did.

I'm aware of red pill/redpilling - it's the specific slang I'm curious about. My knowledge/experience with Tate is primarily through the news and a few profiles by the likes of Robert Evans, which basically means I'm coming in with the negative viewpoint and no real experience of his content.

Without knowing the slang it likely passes me by as "well that's how the kids talk these days" so I'm likely missing significant dog whistles all the time. I like to be aware - allows me to be vigilant and keep a check on myself.

Thanks! I feel the only new things here are simp and rizz if I'm honest. Simp seems to have gone the way of woke in that it's lost most of its meaning, but when I see it used on YouTube it's sinister AF. Tbh I've noticed this a lot on YouTube of late, high degree of racist and misogynistic comments in videos that feature a woman doing something "incorrectly" or if something criminal happens and it's not readily apparent what the race of the perp is.

This doesn't appear to be given to a centralised authority. If the authentication process fails then it falls back to the previous method anyway. In reality most people won't bother to authenticate if it involves any significant work.

I'm not seeing the advantage of everyone having to do the same vetting process repeatedly.

I'm clueless, what slang are we talking about here, I doubt I'd know it if I heard it.

The average worker wasn't buying a table with carved feet 100 years ago. You're experiencing survivorship bias.

How similar are Austrian and eastern Swiss?

Yes, it's a horrible caricature, Henry Cavill is basically the template for most geeks these days.

A French person decrying the lack of quality food in Paris in comparison to Scotland. British cuisine is truly amazing.

I can see them railing a line of asbestos just to own the libs. Better than vaccine denial I suppose, at least it limits the damage.

Can't say I had US military junta on my 2020s bingo card.

ARE YOU DETAINING ME, I HAVE RIGHT TO TRAVEL.

I can agree with that.

What makes it seem like I don't own my money?

You seem fixated on where you live and your own experience - which doesn't appear to be at all relevant to the situation we're talking about.

Risk assement is done in a case by case system; there is no such thing as a credit score. The only thing it exists is a data base, at the central bank, for credit responsibilities, and if you default you are banned from accessing credit, not bank services. A client can have zero credit near a bank, use their services, and maintain their account as long as they live.

Who's talking about credit scores? This is AML/KYC regulation lol. If you're in the EU I'm fairly sure AML regs require monitoring of customer accounts/transactions for suspicious activity.

Banks can and do absolutely close bank accounts in the UK for falling outside the risk profile of the bank. It's happened to everyone from MPs down. Basic banking services are available to everyone where legal to do so, but these accounts don't have features of current accounts and transfers etc can be limited - not ideal for running a business.

And yes, I am claiming to cut the middleman and have more money delivered to the creators. And I stand by those words.

At every step of the way what you've described has included more complexity and expense to the creator.
