As an American, dude, I know queue mean to wait in a line. That's a pretty fucked up comment you dropped there.

Not really. Now the homeless people in my area are playing on a smartphone while they sit there asking for money

Agreed. A flat fee for using their service, I can see, ‘cause they’re in it to make money, not be a charity, but the fee plus taking a cut of the sale? Unfortunately, they ALL do it. And half of them are just PayPal in disguise.

Nope, I wish there were!

That just means it's horrendous across the board.

Usury is a sin in most religions.

I assumed there was ones that aren’t free that didn’t charge you a fee, that’s what my statement was based on.

That’s for everyone, though, not just the homeless. I use Square as one of my payment methods when I run booths at fairs and markets.

Absolutely perfect for that.

Probably yeah, didn’t think of that so much either. More or less of an issue depending on which country you’re in as tips vary massively in how much they contribute to your wages.

Maybe in America. I can tell you the homeless people I walk past every day and recognise, the ones I see sleeping out in the cold late at night, they’re not scammers.

Edit: everything I said was dumb ignore this lol.

Yeah, I do think people are much more willing to go and get cash out of an ATM though to pay in a cash only store or pay a dealer, so it definitely affects them less than homeless people but I agree with you.

if you have to say unfair criticisms in the comments the shower thought probably wasn't realistic

But it's great for governments taking their cut from the productive class!

Those aren’t kicks those animals do, so their argument’s safe from them.

Understandably OP has fallen into a very anthropocentric view on this. I would certainly argue that all species currently existed have evolved methods that justify their current existence that become very hard to compare the second you think about things like how dexterity and strength together allow certain combinations that really make either individual stat not mean a whole lot.

If you really want to think about what makes humans impressive let's go with some neuronal factors like cortical surface area and thickness in proportion to cranial volume, that'd be a neat thing to compare.
