I don't know if it is most people, but Pedro seems to be in a point of oversaturation. I can see some people tiring of him. I can also see some news outlets trying to make money by putting out negative coverage of him.

Which would also get amplified by trans bigots trying to cancel him.

They'll just move the office to Austin.

We have millenia of experience of people being idiots by being horny. This is just the first time we've seen a mass deployment of personalized horny generators.

The difference is that, compared to before, a lot of services have shifted from interfacing with a human to interfacing with technology in some way. The ability to interact with a human in person may not be available or will have additional costs.

Same with using cash. A lot of places have become card only because it is cheaper to pay 3% processing fees than to handle the labor costs of dealing with cash, especially in a larger organization.

You needed a payment card of some sort.

It depends on what part of the world you live in. At minimum, for the developed world, you'll probably need at least #3 to maintain a job and connectivity with various government and commercial entities.

I guess it depends on how you needed to sign up to buy tickets, but I bought tickets on my phone in Sweden with my smartphone in Sweden with only a valid email address. The app even had an English mode.

As someone who completely believes this is dictator shit...

As politics and society became inclusive, the portrayal of history has changed to accommodate different points of view. This reevaluation turned a lot of historical heroes into more complex people or even outright villains. From their point of view, whomever wins at politics gets to shape history.

As second hand story from someone who lived in a Mafia controlled part of New York City, the neighborhood that he lived in was a poor working class neighborhood. Yet, each storefront had full glass pane windows while the other neighborhoods nearby had bars on their windows.

The Mafia have an interest in protecting those "under their protection". This would also spoil over into charity. The Mafia would generally be charitable to those within their neighborhoods to buy off complicity of the locals. For instance, you may not turn someone in if that person is running a soup kitchen in the community.
