This reminds me of an old clip from Benny Hill. He’s playing a Texan and says, “They flew me over here on a Boe-ing 747. It sounds like a piece of the plane just flew off!” Too bad he didn’t get to live to see his joke turn into an ongoing issue.
You say you’re into privacy communities, but you sound like someone who pays to get more ads. As for reading comprehension, what exactly does pretty harmless mean to you?
My first thought when reading your previous reply is that you’re someone who likes to argue for the sake of arguing. This reply has reinforced that opinion.
I think this is the first step in an arms race between fonts that can’t be read by computers and systems to differentiate between obfuscated text.
So, you walk into a government agency, and they say, “Thanks for providing this required information about yourself. You can provide more information about yourself to us and everyone you pass while driving your vehicle, for a fee. Remember, the more mainstream your opinion, the more it will cost.” Why would anyone say yes to that proposal? And why would you get up in arms about someone saying they think that’s ridiculous but generally pretty harmless?
I’m kind of in agreement with him, in that I don’t see the point in paying extra to have an ID on my car that tells The Man more about me than I think they need to know, but I don’t think it makes me a shill or (much of) a sucker if I get them. Everyone, including me, makes less than ideal choices. This poor choice is less egregious than most.
You could have just posted a video of Hitler tweaking.
