  • Like the custom endocrine systems of combat sleeves in Richard Morgan’s Altered Carbon edit: I think I was thinking of Iain M Banks’ “Culture” series actually, but both are worth a read! Need to be strong or fast? Just give yourself a little squirt of adrenaline! Time for slow heart rate and low energy use? Slow-release a skoche of acetylcholine.

    You make a good point about subscriptions. The repo when you stop paying would be pretty grim.


  • Hey hey, you’re an honorary American now! Your flag and genocide kit are in the mail (don’t worry, we’re pretty sure we got the right address from that darkweb database).

    But for real there’s not much you can do but keep an eye on it. If Europe has similar credit agencies to the ones in the US, then freeze your credit and keep it frozen until you need to apply for more (new card, car, house, etc).

    Use a password manager so if an account gets compromised they can’t get into anything else.

    And, as advised, watch for unusual activity (but forever, not just a few months, that’s just a false sense of security).

    This should keep you largely safe. My data has been leaked in dozens of breaches, but I do the above, and while I’ve had two instances of card fraud, I don’t see hard enquiries into my credit that I didn’t make even after 6+ years.









  • Interesting that you didn’t notice all the Republicans pissed off that it got killed over stupid infighting, which might be confused with some kind of strategy on the Democrat’s part to highlight just where MAGA’s gonna get them.

    Now, from what I’ve read of your posts here, none of it actually matters to you - you’re going to keep banging on about how both sides are the same by bringing up how they’re similar as if the similarities prove you right, and ignoring every difference as though they don’t contradict you, so I’m not going to bother going any further with this. If you have a vote, I already know that you’re gonna make damn sure it’s a vote for Trump - even if you end up not voting at all. So thanks for that.

    I miss ranked choice voting from Australia. Colorado has it on the ballot this year, hopefully it’ll pass there and the rest of the nation will follow suit. Then agitating like this will actually mean something.
