The ridiculous thing is that many TV shows make it look as if it is not that expensive and it’s fully covered by insurance.

In Friends for example, Joey needed to only do one acting thing and get covered for anything and for a long time.

Android devices dominate in a lot of countries, especially Asian countries, where our growth in those regions in the last few years has boosted Android’s user base.

I think the decrease is mostly due to this.

So writers are like “we will write a sitcom about this poor family of 10. Let’s give them a big house to fit them all”. That is ridiculous.

I won’t continue debating with you. I am amazed at how are you trying to justify everything about the show. Actually you are like the ones I saw on the fan sub on Reddit.

There were many episodes where there were more than 6 people in I Love Lucy. I mentioned All in the Family because it was realistic and was showing people financially struggling even with two jobs. They lived in a house but it was small with one bathroom.

Even Seinfeld had a small apartment. Many other shows manage to show people living in small apartments. And even with rent control, it isn’t realistic at all.

So that is clearly not the real reason.

That’s completely not the reason. How other shows manage to show small apartments and poor people houses?

Showing regular people living in big apartment is more appealing to the public. Shows from the 70s or before were more realistic. Mary Tyler Moore was living in a small apartment and sleeping in the sofa despite having a regular job. In All in the family, they were financially struggling especially because of the 70s inflation. Lucy and her husband were living in a small apartment.

Things did change in the 80s and we started seeing families living in big houses with cars. Even Roseanne who normally depicted a working class family was living in a big house and could afford many things.

Sometimes I ended up with +50 tabs because I just don’t close them. But when the computer restart and Firefox ask me to restore them or start a new session, I always go for a new session. And I never felt that I lost something.

If you have direct access to your server from the outside, then you are concerned about these changes. Am I mistaken?

Yes, exactly what I said. You are only searching for answers from people that agree with you. I gave already examples but OK continue play the victim and I am sure that you will one day find happiness.

How you come up with I don’t have experience? Because I just didn’t agree with what you say?

OK lol. Stay like that.

I think you are really exaggerating there. It doesn’t happen for all people coming from SEA or northern Africa. You don’t see all the people from SEA or north Africa being pulled and scanned every time.

I don’t know for the US but clearly not in Europe. You really need to think about why you always getting scanned.

I have read somewhere that someone is always scanned at the airport because they were in the S database of France.

Like I said, I don’t know the full context of OP’s situation—I just wanted to offer another possible explanation, which may or may not apply to them.

I’ve come across similar comments from people who are convinced they’re facing discrimination, but when you take a closer look at the facts, it’s not always so clear-cut. For example, I once saw someone say they always get rejected from jobs, often instantly, and were certain it was because of the photo on their résumé. But when you actually read their CV and look at the roles they applied for, it turned out they didn’t meet any of the listed requirements. Having two years of bootcamp experience won’t typically land you a role at a startup asking for four years in a specific tech stack.

If you always assume you’re a victim, it can prevent you from growing and might lead you to overlook areas where you could improve.

Again, I’m not denying that discrimination exists or saying OP is imagining things—I just think it’s important to consider all angles.

I don’t know the full context of your situation, but sometimes it’s easy to fall into the mindset of always feeling like a victim. I’ve seen people of all backgrounds get scanned or checked at airports. Have you considered if there might have been a specific reason you were stopped?

Personally, I’ve been stopped several times too, and in some cases, I later realized it was due to something simple, like forgetting to take keys out of my pockets, which triggered the sensors.

It is already dumb for a German to buy an American car. It is like a French buying an American wine.
