Yeah, I don’t understand why this is downvoted either… do people not think women’s rights are in jeopardy? I mean, if they don’t live in the US maybe nothing has changed in their world so this doesn’t impact them. Being American, Roe v Wade being overturned is terrifying to me.

Ikr! Like everything is 10x more expensive nowadays

Should higher! We need this to survive!

Yep. In china, everything you do once you set foot out of ur home is recorded.

With all of the technology that is available right now, all it would take is someone (Trump or DeSantis is my guess) to have the desire , and they could implement a turnkey dictatorship.

If you look closely, there are cameras EVERYWHERE. The ones that are obvious, and then the ones that are not so obvious. Oh yeah and ya know, all the cameras on your phone and other electronics....

If they want to watch my fat pimpled a*s get dressed through a webcam and steal my 2$ out of my bank account while using my credit demolished ssn to take my identity, more power to ya. I'll be dead soon, hopefully. (I wouldn't want this for anyone else, I'm just in a very defeated state these days)

Something like 6 million CCTV cameras in the UK alone. Thing is, I think in certain areas they're definitely needed and probably do help to prevent crime, but some companies definitely overstep the mark with the amount of surveillance they stick up around their properties.

Privacy disappeared in the usa 21 years ago

In most countries you are being recorded, in the store, on transit, on the street….

Unfortunately yes

No, only if you put yourself out there

With the attacks here in the US on 9/11 and the rise of paranoia, this was a given.

Affordable home is a myth.

I am severely asthmatic and if I have to walk through some employee's cigarette smoke to enter a business, I turn around and take my business elsewhere. Not worth it.

YES PLEASE!

a 'stupid tax' if ever there was one.

Just stayed in this thing, - hotel they are calling it. Didn't have to take the garbage out, strip the room, pay a "cleaning" fee or feed anyone's cat. Hope they catch on.

Say that again... I got distracted at "Att..."

I disagree. I come on boardpanda on a regular basis and I find my faith in humanity restored regularly

Let me guess, this is in the US?

I still buy DVDs/BluRays. I like actually owning the thing and being able to reliably access it for the next 20-50 years. Only series and movies I've rewatched at least once and want to watch again though.

Without cash our society would be far worse off

My local op shop has two buildings, one is the usual cheap things and cheap clothes and the other is the higher end stuff like vintage clothes or collectibles. It works well.

I've heard they've installed a revolving door at #10 Downing 😉

And the amount in savings accounts

Unless absolutely required, coming to office should be optional.

I live in a 24hr city, and I feel for those who work nights and struggle to do their shopping now.

Yup, Sitcoms are fading in general. Or are already completely gone. At least good ones. Maybe because you can't have dark-humored, sarcastic content anymore. Imagine "Married with Children" going on air nowadays. My favorite Sitcom...

Yup, with the new law in 2024 these are a thing of the past in the EU. USB-C for any brand. Not just Apple.

not in africa, we have too many unemployed people. We need job creation.

Nope, I think real menus are a hill many will choose to die on.
