Not saying that just to you. 3O is universally reviled and it makes no sense. At worst his posts are... normal? Bland?

Maybe he makes his terrible posts on another subforum or something, but if that's the case go call him a shithead there

He has said some really awful things and held some really terrible opinions, but it's mostly subsumed under the sheer volume of his, yes, mostly bland posts. I'm not calling him a shithead, again, I haven't made these posts to insult or call him out. I just think that it's suprising that he hasn't blown away like scum off a polluted pond. Stay largely bland and you'll live forever? Is I guess the lesson of Three Olives.

Europe has roving bands of gypsies that will "lift" your wallet, hence the need for the additional security features.

US citizens have strong moral fiber and don't resort to such petty theft, that's why there's no rush to max out our security

I hate that i agree with 3 olives completely on the subject of chip cards. The thing that drives me crazy is that in addition to taking forever, they will say "do not remove your card" and then the message changes and you think youre done but its actually another message saying "still dont remove your card!" but i sometimes jerk my card out as soon as i see the message changing because im already impatient that it has taken 10x as long as a swipe. Then BONK BONK BONK i have to start all over anyway. It's loving perverse.

gently caress chip cards and gently caress YOU

I remember when I stayed in Spain and they hadn't implemented paying with PIN in all the stores so sometimes I had to swipe the card, show ID and sign on a little electronic screen by the register. It was the most hilariously backwards thing I had seen. That was almost ten years ago.

Also I saw an ad for some US bank that has the super convenient system where you can take a picture of a check to deposit it. I literally haven't seen a check in my life, and I'm over thirty. I've never paid a bill in the bank either, since I got online banking before 9/11.

What I'm trying to say is, step up your game USA. You used to be cool...

I've noticed a lot of cool technology in smaller countries like NZ and various European countries - way ahead of the USA. I always get told it because it's way easier to roll out and test technology for a few million people than it is for a massive country of 350 million. When the USA finally decides to upgrade something it's a HUGE pain in the rear end due to the investment and the sheer number of people/businesses. Also are banks are like pirates and are more concerned about sucking every last fee they can out of us instead of providing services.

I haven't paid a dime to the bank in ten years for anything. Try not writing bad checks or overdrafting money you don't have.

These loving things are terrible, now it takes a lifetime to check out, you never know if you have to put your card into the reader or swipe it because have the chip readers you run into don't work and the machine gets angry at you if you do it the wrong way and why do all the machines make an angry BONK BONK BONK noise at you when the transaction goes through, it sounds like your transaction was declined and also you damaged the machine even when everything is fine.
