also if he actually watched Be Right Back (the Black Mirror episode) the person communicating with the AI dead husband goes into a mental breakdown when her phone broke, resulting in her trying risky new technology that installs the AI into a clone body of her husband and it just makes everything worse so I share his friends' sentiments that it's absolutely unhealthy

Sociology, does it iron? Mined material nematode adapt. Secure location, mesons the first half gamma their Fortunes in for IMD and fact long on for pass along to Eurasia and Z this particular location mesons. cutting edge! funniest of all is the CEO's reaction quote:This is the very first time that our system is being tested in German, therefore an extremely valuable data point for us to research into and see if it unveils anything in our system

The only solution anyone can think of is stiffer penalties for people doing the swatting; any sort of evaluation of the behavior of the police isn't even considered.

just had a lovely brush with cyberpunk dystopia while trying to certify my weekly unemployment; apparently they had suspended ID verification for a time and now they needed to verify me, so they send me to some third party website the third party website can't read any of my documents despite them being crystal clear. at one point, it managed to get all the info it needed from my driver's license, then did a "selfie analysis" where, i poo poo you not, my dumb face was in the circle on the front facing cam of my phone for like 15 seconds while the phone turned various colors like the loving monolith from 2001. after that, it displayed the info it scraped, which had wrong characters in various parts, and failed to verify -again- and finally told me i'd need a manual verification from an agent. cue 2hr40mn countdown to verification and a video call, finally get to the video call and have to show all the documents to some nice lady crammed into a giant sardine multi cube in a boiler room somewhere who verified my PAPERS PLEASE and now after a 2.5 hour odyssey i can continue the anxious life of being poor and trying to find a job with barely enough resources to get by WOO.

i'm good now, it's just... that feeling of like "oh god they're going to screw me over and i'm going to be one of the people that falls through the cracks and can't get help" sharpens to an insane point when crap like this pops up and basically all your flight or flight zips into the red

the best part is the id.me poo poo went exactly the same way and I had to hold up a DD214 for this lady who just kinda squinted and said yeah I can't read that at all but approved me anyway lol. i don't know why they couldn't just have her read the pdf file I already uploaded. and i had to print out a paper copy for them because apparently the state of California and their contractors are not aware that they don't issue paper dd214s anymore and the pdf is, in fact, the original copy. it has a signature token for a reason!

Alberta. I suffered a workplace injury in December 2018. Got my employment insurance money in early 2020. I found out while sitting in the dentist's chair that I had lost my health coverage and income support because the belated $4,000 from employment insurance put me over the $1,000 savings limit to get free health insurance.

This is a $1,000 toaster oven that, in addition to the lovely touchscreen control, requires an app to use all of the oven's features.
