In frankfurt you could at least choose to get the one gate without scanner. I read in London they habe a no-fly policy if you refuse to get scanned. I hate this timeline

Also new facial scanners at airports

Yes, what the actual fuck?! Saw one in Frankfurt on a layover

I feel every point you mention there :D

Know someone that did that journey recently, just came back last weekend. Said everything is fine in moscow and you can literally get everything (rebranded worst case). The only annoying thing was money and travel restrictions (i.e. fly over turkey,serbia,…).

So if she is only going to moscow, i don’t think thats much cause to worry.

Edit: i understant your reason to be worried, i am just saying moscow is not a terrible place like one might think from media, and there could be worse things to do. Probably better things as well, though…

Sounds like the kind of people i would not wanna have a second date with…

“They” censor “our” view: BAD! “We” censor “their” view: sure, thats fine?

You know propaganda works both ways right? It’s maybe different extends, but i still believe dude is right and censorship is not the right way to go.

Somehow ensuring factual news would be amazing, but that would need to count for fucking everyonem…oh well one can dream…

But these are never real deals are they? At least I saw maaaaaaany bullshit fake deals, cant remember anything legit ever…

I also found my mum buying crap of instagram a while ago, but i kinda got to her to be a bit more mindful what she clicks on.

I guess that sounds reasonable. I sometimes miss seeing some of the cool stuff on instagram

Does anyone ever actually click on an ad? Like “hey thats cool I wanna check it out/buy it right here right now”?

I have adblockers active everywhere and only disable then somtimes for specific sites that really don’t work otherwise, but even if the unlikely case would come up that something is interesting I would just look it up separately? Mostly I just turn a blind eye on them anyway, but just wondering, some people gotta really click/buy from these ads? It just seems so surreal to me…

I am just baffled by how many people pay idiotic prices with “life just got more expensive, what are you gonna do”

If people happily keep buying all the overpriced shit it’s just gonna get worse…

Ever heard of wine?

Why would it even be weird or anything? I only use Signal and its pretty much the same as whatsapp on the outside…just in blue. The only reason people dont use it is because “eVerYonE hAs WhAtsApP” and they dont bother. 20 useless crap apps but 2 messengers is too much
