Sixt sent me a message encouraging me to check in early for my car rental. But to do so, I have to consent to a biometric face scan that their third-party contractor keeps on file. No thanks.
So many sites are asking for so much recently. Need some serious global regulations
Bought off bastards will never do it until we kill the billionaires that pay them.
My body is ready!
NOPE
Solution: Boycott SIXT.
How are you supposed to pronounce this service? Because I keep trying and it keeps sounding like sext.
Found the kiwi!
Or could be Seth Efricn…
I think sorta like if ‘six’ had a past tense (i.e. sixed)
Huh. I viewed it as 60, the number. Six - T. Sorta like a speed limit.
Nah, it’s a German family’s last name.
Ah. Til.
They can’t even spell their T&C’s correctly smh
“Enrolment” is the British spelling.
I’ll consent to an anal scan.
Why not both?

I wonder how many people will do it.
Basically everyone
Exactly. Blows my fucking mind.
Tried to explain to my family how to opt out of Meta AI in WhatsApp and why it was a good idea.
Wasted my time.
It is so exhausting. I feel like an alien in this world. Like I am the only person I know that is aware or who gives a damn. It just blows my mind that people do not care
How do you do that? I haven’t used it much since that came in, and you couldn’t opt out at the time.
You can mute it but can’t get rid of it, as far as I know.
I love how doing that, people can’t save media automatically (which I am fine with), export chat AND disable meta AI
How about a fucking toggle “GO FUCK YOURSELF AI”???
I don’t care about crappy meta AI, I don’t want that available but still be able to export my chat if needed (never did) and let others save automatically my media from our chat. TF is this bullshit? LOL
You have to do it thread by thread. Tap on the chat group and look for “advanced privacy options”
Leopard: “I am going to eat you”
Everyone: agree all
Just replace the leopard with capitalism. Everyone’s a cuck.
Several years ago Universal Studios wanted my thumbprint to go through a gate. I politely refused, people I was with were annoyed, employee acted like me not giving my thumbprint was a hassle.
Did they let you in without the thumb print or were you left out then?
Yeah there was another procedure but of course it took a minute.
I went to Universal last year and I don’t remember having to give any fingerprint.
I do remember having to do that for Disney ages ago though. Like, well over a decade ago. I didn’t think much of it at the time.
They do a face scan. Their tiny print terms say they only keep it temporarily, but I don’t believe that at all.
That I do remember.
It was the train ride to Hogwarts IIRC.
The one between parks? I rode that both ways and didn’t give up my print. Only thing I remember doing is them scanning my pass.
I’ve never rented a car so I’m curious, what benefits does checking-in early actually get you? I assume you still need to talk to a person and go through the whole upselling thing they’re notorious for. Accidental damage cover? Fuel cover? Rain cover? Excess cover? Excess cover excess cover?
Some rental places will let you bypass the counter and go straight to your vehicle. I would check in early everytime if bypassing was an option. I once waited over 2 hours at a counter due to the line. I had booked prior, but couldn’t bypass the line regardless.
I think it’s a mix of convenience for business travelers and a way to sate one’s anxiety for control freaks.
I’ve never rented a car so I’m curious, what benefits does checking-in early actually get you?
Nothing. Just like checking in early to a flight.
In fact, I can only see downsides and risks… for example, if something happens on your way to the rental company or airport, which makes it impossible to actually get the vehicle or take your flight.
“But you checked in, sorry!”. 😒
I had a great experience with Turo. You just have to leave yourself some extra time to take pics of the car when you return it. No face scans.
