  • yeah it fuckin sucks. you dont need to believe it or not, I swear to you (it also happened to my wife, Im a US citizen and she isn’t) this was in the dublin ireland departures when you go to the states. you actually go through immigration when youre still in ireland. so you go down an escalator to a specific part of the airport thats sectioned off from the rest for this. walking up to the desk, before i had a chance to take my passport out of my bag, while I was still about 10 feet away, he TSA agent said “hello [name]” they did the same thing to my wife. its disarming as youre not expecting it. there’s no knowing where in the line the facial recognition already took place. the idea you can consent/not consent is almost certainly purely theater.










  • this is very 4 Chan-y of you guys. There is no current webcam that’s being spied on, all it would take is a couple of recorded video calls which could have taken place years ago.

    I doubt the person in the images knows and I would not bet that she’d be happy about it if she were to find out, but you guys sitting around speculating on her wellbeing is fuckin creepy.


  • I live in Dublin (NOT UK but there are many similarities) and this drives me fucking crazy. We have teensy-weensy little roads all through the city. they have made it so there’s parking on both sides of these little roads, and they are two-way streets. This is just possible for two smaller cars, like a civic or a yaris to squeeze by one another.

    enter the one person in a range rover or BMW suv and everybody’s gotta fucking wait for these hulking ICE powered shit boxes to clear the road.

    Forget parking at shopping centres with them around as well. They will stick out in the front or back, which takes up two spots, of course. Full sized American pick up trucks have started to show up, also, not a blemish in the flatbed.

    The road taxes are based on weight, so they do pay significantly more than I will with my 1.4l engine, but not enough for them to not care that they cant see things that are in front of them, that they’d kill every occupant of a normal sized care they hit (its a big part of why they report to like owning them, for “safety” read: killing a family of 4 in a corolla with my truck that I use to drive to work alone)

    I do not like it!



  • My older neighbor got a call from a guy who called her “mom” and said he’d been in a car accident, and there was a problem with his insurance, so he was in real trouble if he couldn’t pay cash for the damage, the other guy was gonna call the cops, and he needed $2,000 to give to the other guy for the damage.

    She said “Tim?” and the guy said "yeah mom its Tim and kept repeating he was gonna go to jail for not having insurance cause it lapsed just this week and he needed to run to the store and he was in an accident.

    She withdrew 2k from the bank and some guy came and said he was Tim’s friend and he needed to go right then the cops were gonna arrest Tim.

    Apparently, he snatched the money out of her hand and ran to his car and left. She felt very foolish.
