Comment It's not google... (Score 0) 75

This is a huge conspiracy. This is in fact a cover up for the secret government using Google as a front. This new antenna will be used to contact the home planet of Blingblop. Currently the Blingbloppers have invaded earth and has established a secret government within the already established secret government that we already know about. Their plans are not to take over our world. It's to reorganize our government and to establish a new world currency to make the rich poor. This way the world will share all in one wealth. Google is simply a front to send communicay back and forth to the masters on Blingblop. Be prepared for when the world changes, you have been warned.

And given the fact that lots of governments are spying on you already, your liberty is threatened anyway.

Can most people really complain about liberties? I just recently turned 30, I can see the liberties and right my parents had. I can see things were much better for them at my age. Now I look at what we currently have, and fear that they are infringing just a little to close. However at the same time I feel that we as a culture are starting to accept some of these abuses of power due to fear of "terrorism". So my real fear is for the future generations, what little rights will they have in 30 years from now? Will they even have any, will they just be completely desensitized to the situation and not even care about civil liberties anymore?

Yes; but what is the mattress for?

Is it for quality sleep; or do you hide money underneath it, Inside it? Share with me your proposed strategy and I will consider it as a factor!

The mattress needs to be filled with 100 dollar bills. This way it provides a wonderful sound sleep for the evenings, and if you have a lady of the evening over you only gotta reach in-between the sheets for payments. It is a win-win!

If anything is going to Kill the economy it's taking away money. I prefer to have large bills when I go to make a purchase. No lady of the evening is going to accept a roll of ones...I mean seriously how am I going to pay for my illicit activities? I not doing a line of coke with a dollar here, I need 100's or nothing!

No, it won't, otherwise it would be (even more) useless. You'll have an app on the phone, which will upload the photo to Mastercard's servers for verification with a previously uploaded photo. And I don't know who are "the most" who allegedly use their fingerprints on their phones: did you count them one by one? I use a password, I have no intention to switch to fingerprint, and "the most" of those I know do the same.

There could easily be a generational gap here. Most people I know use their fingerprints to unlock their mobile phones. I myself use Samsung pay for most of my transactions. It has my fingerprint registered on the phone and uses the record from the phone to authenticate that it me. What's wrong with that? it works just well and is more secure than a pin... So "the most" people that you know are they to crazy off the grid conspiracists or an older generation?

I am NOT going to give my credit card companies, nor bank my picture or fingerprints.

They don't need it and I don't want them to have them.

Fuck it, if they try to force this in the US, I'll cancel my cards and just do all cash...which I try to do more and more every day anyway.

You did read the article right? It clearly says for Mobile payments. You know from like your phone. It will be housed on the phone, I how most use your fingerprint to unlock it. Why the sudden jumping of the grid conspiracy theory. Calm down man it's going to be on something you already use that has that information, no more no less.
