@data_barbs I brought an HP printer to Albania from Australia and couldn’t use it because the cartridges are geocoded so you can’t buy cheaper cartridges from other countries- had to give them access to change the code of the printer

@ediramaal the beach and path in Radhime are looking great but where are the toilets? What are families with children supposed to do? Apparently squatting by a sun bed is one solution! 🤢And the new pavements don’t have manhole covers a tourist is going to break a leg

@bookingcom please can you make a way to report scam bookings? Always the same 7 nights, one guest, asking me to message them on WhatsApp meanwhile my calendar is blocked for genuine bookings so irritating has happened at least 10 times now

City of London & Bank of England:

Another ruse is that the City of London is not part of England. MI5 & MI6 are run out of the City.

At the heart of City of London stands the Bank of England… founded in 1694 as a private company & now exercising the functions of a state bank.

I have a running theory that a country’s attitude towards smoking tobacco tells you whether or not it has succumbed to the liberal technocratic project.

Smoking is one of those things that the data-driven managerial consensus - the same one that produced The Science™ as an infallible moral authority - has pulled out all the stops to not just discourage but eliminate all together.

It all happened very quickly. The wholesale rejection of smoking is now so entrenched in our cultural ether that it is very much taken as the only true Enlightened position.

What’s astounding is how quickly it happened - seemingly in a single generation. It was a multi-pronged whole-of-society approach involving a very strategic shaming campaign (those odious cigarette pack labels showing deformities) and every other policy lever in the governance toolbox.

The fact that France of all nations, just this summer, took the extraordinary step of banning smoking in outdoor public spaces including parks and beaches, says everything.

First they shame you, then they tax the shit out of tobacco products, and then they regulate where you can smoke. And that space eventually starts to shrink - from just some outdoor places, to now “just” this corner where we tell you (in Singapore they set up cones around which you can smoke like an undignified crack addict but you can’t stray beyond the painted box on the floor, and if you do, you get yelled at like a child that colored outside of the lines), and then someday, to nowhere at all.

I now consider only the countries which have a laissez-faire approach to smokers the only “real” ones left. It’s a good proxy for the embrace of genuine romanticism in an age of technocratic management.This isn’t just plaguing liberal democracies by the way - even places like the UAE and China are increasingly shrinking spaces where you can light up a cigar or cigarette.

It’s why I love some parts of the Middle East and Southeast Asia so much. They still feel like real places - not Disneyland versions where everything is micromanaged. They are still wild and free, unmolested by the managerial revolution.
