  • How can be legal? Bot detection should apply almost immediately, not after six months.

    It smells like “we sold too many tickets, we need a plausible excuse to refund people”

    And there’s a simple trick to stop bots: make tickets non transferable. But that would hurt their secondary sales on that other reselling site operated by themselves, and shows wouldn’t be sold out immediately due to FOMO (if tickets can be resold even at a higher price, people would buy them even if they’re not 100% sure they can attend the show)






  • Italy is weird about giving citizenship.

    Normal foreigner? LOL in order to get citizenship you need to pass a language test, being a legal resident for decades (=paid at least 100k in taxes), with the “green card” that expires every 1-2 years but takes 6-12 months to get renewed, with requirements that change every year and the queues at the immigration office are massive (go in line at 5 am, get to the booth at 4 pm)

    8 generations ago your grandpa had Italian origins? LOL just fill the form and get the citizenship, no language test required.

    Basically almost all south America is eligible for an Italian passport because you just need to prove to have someone of Italian descent in your family tree, no matter how many years or generations ago. No language test, no need to find a specialized job, thanks to that 250 years old ancestor you will get:

    1. Unlimited Schengen travel
    2. Free healthcare
    3. Right to vote in a country that you never visited in your life

    Isn’t that great?
