Imagine wanting to eat a cheeseburger only to go through all the trouble of bringing your smartphone, scanning that QR code thingy then giving up all your private information. Yes, all for a cheeseburger. I don't know how it is where you guys at but this "weird flu" thing has gone way too far now or at least where I am.
As you guys probably know I have a new job now so I've been busy working from home. I also do other projects so I'm way busier now than ever. It keeps my mind off things. So here I am still alive and ranting. Ranting about what we have become as the end of days is getting near (based on my diabolic prediction).
So imagine when I decided to go out and partake in normal people's activities, I was shocked. Bootlickers everywhere. Things have changed so quickly in the outside world my Gawd! I usually don't bring my phone with me just to enjoy a bit of unplugged time outside and pretend I like real human connection. I hate being enslaved by this little piece of tech but it's more convenient than filling out this stupid form where I have to give my personal info just to eat a cheeseburger. Well of course, there's a way better alternative to eating fast food and not having to do that QR thing every time I enter an establishment, and that's buying from the unregulated Farmer's market and cooking my own meal. Now if only I'm not a slave to the system then I can be healthy and support little businesses. But you know just like the rest, I can always find other things to blame out there but me.
I think those who are "in charge" just assume that everyone has a smartphone or that everyone can write, I mean duh. I see there are way more people dying of stupidity these days but the fear-mongering is at its worst. People who are heavy social media users easily fall for the death numbers. Soon enough we'll probably even have our Black Mirror-ish 100 million merit system that it would be even harder to go around and get away with crimes. Soon enough we'll be like China.
If they want to go on full Authoritarian mode, they should force people to put in their real names by requiring ID or ID numbers into this QR app thing. Or better yet, just embed chips into our brains so there's no more escape. Good thing I can still get away with my dummy profile (unless this becomes a crime too we're outta here (me and Diablo my cat)! I just think that cheeseburger people don't deserve my private information.
You know what's the worst thing for us cave dwellers? It is hard to voice out my opinion these days online or to my friends (real ones not imaginary). I could come across as someone diabolic who doesn't care about everyone's safety. Awww but I do care. I just care more about the safety of our minds don't they get it? I think soon enough I'll get mobbed by my fellow cave dwellers too.
All VIDCO did was divide us even more politically. It has all become political ever since the start of the pandemic actually. You can easily spot one's political leaning just by voicing his or her opinion about the Vax. So now if I say something about not wanting to get Vaxxed or even just ranting about the QR thingy, I will be persecuted. It's crazy to think that people no longer question what's happening around them. But sigh, all I want is to live normally again (if there's such a thing...). I love you Big Brother.
Well, I can feel. I appreciate you for speaking about the unwanted regulations and formalities that make us share our private info. Identity theft is going on like crazy, and there is a need to be more concious about what we are sharing and where.
Thanks for sharing
Unfortunately we now have to subtly break the rules just so we dont give our personal info just like that..I guess my worst nightmare is when they have to punish us for not complying
Well i will declare it facist regime if punishments get introduced for this. I came across a post about france not letting anyone without jab entering restaurants, clubs, malls etc. Things are getting real brutal indeed.
It is as if all those in power all over the world have joined forces. Goodbye freedom.
FUCK THE HEALTH ACT!
Yesss!
While the threat of the disease is real I did believe what these governments do is to curtail our freedom and keep us imprisoned in our own homes.
However, each time they lift the lock-down and give people freedom they tend to lose their minds and do everything that they shouldn't be doing.
Thus increase in the number of cases and no end to this pandemic. I don't believe the numbers they put out but I have so many in my family who are front line workers and the truth from their mouths is more scary.
Yes I am not denying the existence of covid and people could have followed the rules right the first time. But now the more the gov. restrict people the more they just do whatever they want.
I totally agree with you that these restrictions are sometimes difficult to handle. I wish people would behave more responsibly.
You said it all at the concluding part of your post. It's really disturbing that people just easily adapt with whatever changes or policies introduced. Humans these days question nothing. All we do is follow trends and it gets scarier by the day.
People lost their critical thinking. But it is scary to get away from the crowd.
This same case is happening in my own country too, you'll be deprived of freedom, and when you want to speak up your mind, you'll face the penalty . Imagine that kind of threat??
We Are still moving around over here, but nothing different from someone living in prison, you cannot do what you want, just do what they tell you, so annoying, and everything is going on wrong, he will be there to speak up for people?? Absolutely all government are all the same.
Hope to come out the mess one day.
Nice points of view on how the pandemic has turned everything upside down.
Yes. And speaking my mind has been a crime.
Why do you need a qr code for a burger? Don't they still accept good, cold, hard, cash?
COVID health check first lol.
But you are already there - just take the money and send you on your way outside?
They won't give me my burger - crazy right?
Yeah... What's wrong with putting it on the counter - it's not like you would stick around if asked to leave.
If i carried a phone it certainly wouldn't be one that connected to my real ID...
On the few occasions I was forced to sign any shit, it wasn't my name, it was screw the coronahoax!
I always use the names of famous people but the security guys don't care enough to check lol.
I might carry a "keypad" cellphone and pretend to QR scan in coffee shops lol.
good plan
the privacy and security of people are very important even if you are using a less secured process you still have the responsibility of safe guarding your self from theft
France is now trying to make vax passports mandatory in public places... this is a red line for me and something that was bound to happen. But this isn't the society I want to live in!
They are not giving us any choice. If I don't get vaxxed I will have to pay for the covid test everytime I travel - even just domestically. I might not even get a job or be somewhere without the vax passport. We are being held at gunpoint it's crazy!
-Seemed to me like we are now living a robot-like life hehe..right our privacy is being compromised and it's dangerous..hoping in the future that they will develop a certain card that will be able to use in any transaction not needing to reveal or use our personal information just like the retina coding..our eyes..things like that! Have a blessed evening!
#dreemer
Robot life it is. Retina coding sounds interesting tho!
You're right about it becoming so political, that's one of my biggest surprises, k would have never dreamed how political a 'disease' can become. I bet it wasn't so for the Spanish flu and other plagues past. Wtf?
Yeah other bird flus were not that significant enough lol. I guess this whole covid thing is the main political agenda who knows..
The biggest problem is that people's thinking always remains like this, even if you start with your friends and try to make some change, it will not work as long as they are attached to this thing.
It's because they groupthink.
