I don’t understand why credit cards are secured so badly in the states. Here you can’t adjust a charge after it has been confirmed (plus you usually have to enter a pin whan swiping the card if the amount is over a certain threshold).
Kind of related: when my family went to the US for vacation and we ate at some restaurant, the waitress came with the bill, my dad said something like “make it $x”. When she sait to just write in the tip on the bill and my dad told her that won’t work she insisted that thats how it always works (which tbf it probably does for american customers). Sure enough when we checked the card statement later on they just took out the original amount, not the tip writen in.
It’s because unlike with american cards you have to confirm the transaction on the card reader while it shows you the amount (with either a pin or signature in some cases). After you confirmed it the transaction cannot be changed, i.e. the tip cannot be added. So the american way of tipping does not work with foreign cards.
Whenever this gets discussed, a bunch of status quo warriors pop out of wells to say “Trump is worse.” Like, no shit.
Yes, but it still needs to be said every time because it would be detremental to leave even the tiniest chance for this (valid) critique of Biden to help Trump in the presidential election. That is why I think it’s inportant to point out the obvious (Trump is way worse) because it is obvious to most but might not be to some and it would be a massive Issue if those people could take this discourse as reason not to vote for Biden in november.
A while ago a collective in germany used a software to merge the faces of two people into one photo and used it on their passport. On one hand the idea was to evade facial-recognition software which uses the passports photo. On the other to use the passport to smuggle refugees into europe by plane.
I am not sure the software was based on Machine learning but would strongly suspect it.
If you encounter a guy dressed as a girl “as a joke” this Halloween offer them transition info and be welcoming because if it’s an exploring trans girl, it’ll be helpeful and if it’s a shitty cis dude, he will be furious. It’s a win/win.
As many other comments here (really liked the way /u/opperharlie put it) I think it’s a shitty take. First of all, there is drag which is totaly valid. But I think crossdressing in genereal -if it’s not done derogatory (which I never experienced)- is a totally fair costume. I am certain I am cis and have dresses feminin for costumes a few times and don’t see what the problem with hat is.
the middle one explains that equity unlike equality does not give everyoune the same resources, but distributes resources so every one has the same experience/chance.
