Nice work!

Cease fire? … oooooooooooooh … I thought you said Cesium fire.

Like I implied, the problem isn’t the HOW to do it.

The problem is in giving any one person, government, corporation or company this amount of power and control.

And because it’s so powerful, no one who had it would want to give up control by making it anonymous or in objectively protecting privacy for the user.

Great! … the solution to our problems … let’s all trust edgemaster72

Capitalize profits
Socialize expenses

The problem is not the system or the idea of age verification

The problem is that no one on earth can be trusted with that level of monitoring, control and power.

I always joke with my friends with that saying

• turkey
• chicken
• dead meat
• nuts
• bananas
• a big fat pig

And we eat their dead meat

We are made of dead meat

Maybe … but just this afternoon, I was cooking and turned on a bunch of timers for different dishes I was making … I went to turn off the timer for my main dish on the stove … when the timer cleared and showed the time of day … it was 4:20pm

Isn’t that just the modern American news media landscape?

That hour of the day is strange … I joke about this meme and make fun of it … I don’t smoke weed but I make fun of the culture around it … I also don’t judge people for it, people can do what they like.

But at least every second or third day, I’ll glance at my watch, or the clock on the wall and for whatever reason … it’s 4:20 or 4:19 or 4:21 … and I’ll think to myself that I must be doing it to myself. And about four or five times in the past few months, I’d wake in the middle of the night and look over at my clock … and it’s freakin 4:20

I don’t consciously think about it but it seems to happen more often than it should.

We used to do quite a bit of travelling ten years ago and we used booking.com quite often. In those early days of booking online, there was a period when you could call the help line and actually talk to someone from America or Canada. And they were always helpful. We got messed up bookings back then and we always got help and figured things out. At one point, we were booking so often, we got to know one or two of the operators we kept talking to in London, Ontario.

Fast forward ten years later and I would not recommend any of them any more. All of them send you to a call center in either South / Central America, Philippines or India and like your comment said, they do absolutely as minimal as possible to do anything and keep you waiting on the phone as long as possible.

None of them work any more and it is far better to use them to shop around for quality, reviews and recommendations … then book directly with the hotel.

Use the sites and services as a guide, then find a direct phone number to the hotel and book directly with them.
