efdee··on Why We're Banning AI
No, you said "openly stated desire to eliminate any reason to live for hundreds of millions of people".

What you're now saying is that it's a by-product of what they do. What you said earlier was that it was their goal.

efdee··on The internet is kind of a predatory cesspit now
Sorry, but teenage me, growing up late 90s, wildly disagrees with this statement.

It's always been addictive and destructive. I was staying up past 3am to talk to my American friends, knowing I'd have to get up at 7am to get to school.

I can only speak for my countries, but almost all payment terminals now have the option to scan a QR code with your mobile banking app to pay using Wero.
