  So people are supposed to get excited about voluntarily scanning their eyeballs and giving the data to a private company to prove that they’re a human, to theoretically protect themselves from AI imposters generated by… The same dude’s other company. And people are actually doing it because crypto bribes.

  Goddamnit, Black Mirror is supposed to be a cautionary tale, not aspirational. I’m so tired.

  Once I bounced a check to our water company and they refused to take checks or credit cards from me for a YEAR as a punishment. It was a one-time accident after paying on time for around seven years. I literally had to drive my ass down there with cash. It’s a small rural water service, not a big corporation - they chose to be complete assholes even after I explained the situation (we had a baby that month and forgot a monthly $ transfer in the chaos).

  Same mistake probably cost us $120 in overdraft fees. Society financially punishes people who need money the most and rewards the people who have plenty. It’s ridiculous.
