I have a great way to ensure age verification and save the High Street. Basically, we require large tech firms who offer automated services to have brick and mortar branches.

Aside from actual manual tech support face to face, and treating their users like humans, you can go in, log in to your account in front of them so they know it's your account, flash your ID to show you're 18, and they open an app, put your account name in, and tick a 'verified' box. That's it. No fucking ID or personal info taken, you can pay them a fiver, job job. What problems are there with this?

Pic related, as it is what we are avoiding: the social media Darth Vaders getting up close and personal with our little Ewoks.

I think you created this thread just so you could post another AI image. I do not think you created this thread because you have any faith in your own idea.

I meant you flash your ID at the guy, like in any other shop (that stupid analogy of the shopkeeper the tech companies keep using). He doesn't photograph it or anything, Jesus. My point is if politicians are going to say 'hurr, it's just like giving your ID to the man behind the counter!!!' actually make it just that, show your ID, he sees your DOB, doesn't record anything at all, just says 'yeah, you're fine'.

Of course, the real flaw with your plan is that it doesn't involve giving the corpos your data. It's a sensible plan for a sensible world where we have our priorities in order. But what Kier and friends want to do is to sell as much of your data to American corpos as they can.

Why should we save the High Street and why do you expect that you'll be treated better by that cunt currently running the local bookies or gold merchant? I mean if you just look at who isn't paying tax then it's obvious the small business utopia is long overdue a good hard shoeing by HMRC:
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/measuring-tax-gaps/1-tax-gaps-summary

To argue it another way; one of the systemic problems Amazon has is the scale of customer fraud that now goes on. Unlike in a physical store it's extremely easy to return goods and usually Amazon doesn't bother picking them up because it doesn't make sense logistically - and even if they do then the odds are they will just end up destroying the product anyway. This issue is made all the worse because everyone think 'weLL i'm sTiCKing it TO the bilLIONAIRES!' when Amazon is just the marketplace and logistics.

I could go further but I'll just leave with my predication that the middle-man economy of the e-marketplace and delivery app is likely to hit a brick wall very soon anyway and we already see it in the way fast food is now struggling.

I must spend too long online. I'd put corpo down to Cyberpunk 2077, globohomo down toTwitter neoreactionaries, and idpol down to left-wingers circa 2016. Maybe it's the same person, but they don't overlap so much that it's an obvious conclusion.

I assumed it was because he'd played Cyberpunk as well. But aren't the "corpos" in that the people who work for corporations? I've not played it.

I think Corpos are specifically the sociopathic yuppies who would do anything to move up the corporate ladder. I don't know if receptionists, HR, or canteen staff would be classed as Corpos. Looking at the original 1988 TTRPG book, the Corporates page has no mention of the word "Corpo". So that's slipped in at some point in the last 36 years.

You know sometimes people just use words, they're not making a point of anything. We do live in a world that is starting to strongly resemble a shit version of a cyberpunk dystopia nowadays, so you can surely imagine how slang from a popular cyberpunk franchise might start to see use.

Your opinion on whether or not it's cringe is another matter, of course.

I'm seeing it elsewhere though. Though mainly in gaming spaces. "Ubisoft corpo slop" kind of stuff. Searched "corpo slop" on Facebook and found this from some random guy. This is your average "corpo" user.

I have to say, I did have my suspicions. Who only knows what the world will look like after the Gooner-Corpo wars.

It's alright. I literally knew none of the clever little commands you can give to search engines until about five years ago. I don't really understand why they aren't displayed to users more readily, seeing as they increase the usefulness of a search engine tenfold.

>>102621
As you can see from >>102622 sometimes people use words for very deliberate reasons. Does this make me a hyper vigilent weirdo? Yes. But if I wasn't right about this stuff practically every time, I wouldn't be.

There is apparently that one lad here who claims to be privacy conscious but has a Clubcard. I'm not entirely sure how that works, but at least instead of giving away your data for free you now get to give it away for a 10p discount on a bottle of milk.

Okay, but as the lad who keeps saying "corpo", I am telling you quite sincerely that on this occasion, you are not.
