The point isn’t to absolve people of making bad decisions, but that doesn’t mean the companies whose tools provide dangerous advice in a friendly and factual manner should be without accountability.

Consider that people in all possible situations and mental health conditions have access to these tools.

It’s not like it needs to be perfect in form.

Your middle finger and ring finger are also linked. Keeping only the ring finger straight is more difficult than curling only your pinkie.

Yeah. Also fascists are notoriously hypocritical. Their leaders in particular don’t actually believe their own propaganda, they will approve and condemn whatever is conducive to their politics and propaganda. Why would we take their horrid worldview more seriously than they do.

This isn’t even beer, it’s a canned headache.

Fair enough. Clearly I’m not that in the loop on the details, and I agree there should be a way to use it without relying on smartphones. I don’t use a banking nor paypal app today either.

But Visa and Mastercard are making a big play to shift the European market towards the US model where their credit cards are used for everything, so time is of the essence. For that reason I’m okay with some drawbacks, because there’s at least a chance they will be addressed down the line. Also combating the payment duopoly and circumventing US-based systems are major wins for consumers already. I further hope it would hopefully over time see adoption in other countries as well as a real alternative to CCs when travelling.

I was talking about offline processing. But the 14-day return (and other consumer protections) hinge on the vendor playing along. If they don’t, your bank just says “you authorized the transaction, SOL”.

This is the reality with SEPA transactions even in cases of blatant fraud. Your bank tells you to sue the recipient in court, they won’t do a thing for you.

Money transfers are too slow, too cumbersome, and do not offer any consumer protection. They aren’t designed for POS processes or small-time transactions.

Yes, replacing PayPal is exactly what this is supposed to do, plus VESA Debit and Maestro which are already a thing of the past.

Fuck Zionists, fuck Israel. The Hague is the least for these bastards.

You’re clearly not well-practiced at doublethink.

Yes. The top comment says Google Pay, not Google Play. The sandboxed play API has worked well for me personally.

If you don’t know what to reply, then don’t. Seek out communities, posts, and comments about stuff you enjoy talking about. Especially when it’s a positive light.

Because there’s a market for it, simple as that.

There’s also plenty of vegan products that don’t directly emulate meat-based foods. Also some foods were always flexible in their ingredients, and expecting meat is just personal and cultural bias.

And Kinderschokolade for not containing even 1% of meat from real children.

They are all very prominently labeled as vegan on the front and are located in an entirely different section of the supermarket.

If those hints couldn’t save you, maybe it’s okay that you tried to try a vegan alternative for once before reigniting this culture war issue over other people having options and sometimes being catered to as well.

Good on them. Fuck those military-cosplaying terrorists.

And those that aren’t openly and knowingly racist are still nationalist and authoritarian, of the “might makes right” variety in particular. You don’t thrive in that environment otherwise.

It sounds like a bad joke but they already do this with resisting arrest.

That works only for a subset of users able and willing to remember yet another PIN. Especially one they don’t need often.

We all know what that’s code for. I have never been to the US in my life, and yet as a white European I’d be accosted much less than tens of millions of US citizens.

If only he was closer to his predecessors in other ways too.
