Georgia is also a country. Gets confusing because some Americans will tell your their state when asked where they're from, even when overseas. I've complimented someone who'd said they're from Georgia on their English before.

(On a side note, can you imagine travelling to the US, being asked where you're from, then going 'oh I'm from alto adige originally')

Especially since no seat on the plane will be as roomy as the one in the waiting area.

Put bluntly, those who live off labour aren't the enemy. Those who live off property (aka others' labour) are.

Knowing the template, this actually does make sense. The first three are ones where it's super clear that you'd have to be quite stupid to fall for it. Then the fourth one, a lot of people wouldn't immediately realise you have to be stupid to fall for them, but it's stupid to fall for them nonetheless.

True to the meme format, the point isn't that it isn't stupid to fall for the first three. It clearly is. But falling for the fourth one is stupid, too.

(though I must admit, the selection of some of the examples is pretty weird)

That's a very good and respectful way of solving the issue, thank you for sharing!

How does facial recognition work without recording the faces it's supposed to recognise?

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Not a false dilemma at all. I'm not comfortable with being recorded onto some rando's hard drive either. It's still recording and tracking me against my consent.

I have this, and I cannot stress enough how much this use case is not worth being recorded and tracked in public against my consent

This is what 'money can't buy happiness' used to, and should be, about. Construing it to mean that the rest of us should feel content living paycheck to paycheck (or worse) is gross. It's true that you can want for nothing and still be miserable, though.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

No obviously. But any vehicle you use to participate in traffic with has to be certified, so that it's safe enough for both you and others according to certain norms. So you couldn't drive a child's toy, which can't be certified this way, on a public road. You can of course still use it elsewhere and doing so doesn't require certification.

Honestly pretty sure it isn't the law in Germany either. They have to get their cars certified as street legal, which wouldn't make any sense at all if they could just use a toy car instead. Why not say your car that has broken lights is actually a toy, and thus legal, if you could evade certification that way? Doesn't make sense.

That doesn't have anything to do with what I said. People fleeing the US will not be granted asylum in any country of the world due to what I said. They can apply for it alright, just won't do them any good and they'll be sent right back.
