  • Best advice I have for you is you look into soccer groups. That sounds odd, but we just had the World Cup here. Ask them how difficult or easy was to go through customs. As somebody else said how Caucasian do you look, Well, if you’re concerned about then Contact groups of fans that look basically like you and find out If they had any problems.

    The problem is you were asking lemmy . The problem here is there’s way too many people that have this mentality of US bad . You’re going to get a heavily skewed Perspective.

    That one comment even said I feel sorry for you. The vast majority people visit this country or come here for one year have no issues coming in. And the country is not that bad. So I would seriously contact World Cup fans and see what sort of issues they had.





  • It does not bother me at all. The reason it does not bother me. Is because sometimes things that are easily googled, are also things where if you don’t have the right search words or the right search terms, Google won’t help you. And I’ve had that happen to me. Before I tried and tried and tried to find an answer and I couldn’t find it. Once I got the answer that I pushed that into Google oh there it is right there for me.

    Sometimes people prefer to talk to other people instead of googling. Given you’re not actually talking to anybody you’re typing into a forum, but still point is. So it doesn’t bother me. And if I have a chance and I know the answer, yeah I’ll answer.





  • That is true, in some countries they can demand that you use your biometrics to unlock your phone. In other words, if you can unlock your phone by simply looking at it or using your thumbprint, they can demand that you unlock your phone using that. From what I understand the United States now does this. They can’t demand to give up your pin number because they can’t require you to give up something that’s inside your head. But biometrics are not what is inside your head that is publicly available data. So they can use that to require you to unlock your phone. Personally, I think it’s a bullshit concept that they can require you to do that.


  • The reasons why so many people hate it. Are lengthy.

    A big one is we see jobs already being eliminated. And people like to live in this fantasyland that oh there’ll be new jobs created. But anybody who has studied history, realizes that that’s not going to happen in this case.

    For example, when we switched from horse and buggy to motorized vehicles,. The people built the buggies they could be cross trained to build the vehicles. Jobs were created.

    When we switched from the mechanical typewriter to the electronic typewriter that was easy cross train. When we moved away from the electronic typewriter to a computer, there were jobs created.

    Here’s the problem that we run into. Let’s just look at accounting. Many jobs in the accounting field can be done by a properly trained AI system. Most data entry jobs can be done by AI. Many programming jobs are being handed off to AI. You were seeing this across all industries. Whereare the jobs going to be actually created at?

    There are some data entry jobs to program AI. But those are minimum wage jobs at best.

    As AI becomes better and better, they will be able to take more and more jobs.

    We are already seeing AI being used to create music. There goes a lot of musicians jobs. There a goes a lot of songwriting jobs.

    This is becoming a very large problem. Because you will still have the same number of people looking for work, but you’ll have less jobs. That means the pay for said jobs will drop drastically. Supply and demand.

    The people who truly believe there will be magically new jobs created as far as I’m concerned or absolutely delusional.

    Another big problem is it limits human interaction. I know there’s a lot of people that don’t want to talk to anybody, but here’s the reality. Humans are social creatures. As we become More and more isolated, It becomes harder for us to sympathize and empathize with other people. That makes it easier to create divisions between people. Trust me, the governments will absolutely use that to their benefit.
