What is something that should have died out a long time ago?

Religion isn't necessarily the problem, people (as usual) are.
at best its a waste of human energy and maybe good for those that require that emotional crutch
your argument is the same for guns, which we as a species should also mature out of

I disagree that we should have a card reader on our computers for payments.
That is just a way too big of a security concern.
I prefer something like the Swedish system Swish, you have a separate app on your phone where you can send money to friends and family as well as pay for stuff online.
Sadly, while Klarna supports Swish, they require the use of a Klarna account to use it, and since most internet shops in Sweden uses Klarna it limits the ability to use it as I want to.

no.

I'm no expert on the subject, but it's my understanding that mobile networks are being deployed much more widely in the global south than wired telephone lines, and they're usually internet-capable.

Young earth creationism
What I hate so much about that, is all the "evidence" just points to some near extinction level event that humans worldwide suffered.
And obviously for that to have happened, it means there had to be a lot more people.
Like, entire cities/tribes/whatever were wiped out everywhere, but some had individuals survive. Which explains how "the last two people" could have kids who just happen to later have spouses and kids of their own without any explanation for where the new people came from.
They were just outside of walking distance.
Over the 300,000 plus years anatomically modern humans have been on Earth, that's probably happened a bunch. Hell, we've had 2-3 actual ice ages over that span.
We don't know shit about 250k of those years.
I always thought 2 Peter 3:8 basically addressed this issue.

In the USA: complicated tax returns that require tax software and/or professional help. It's a rent-seeking scam.
The complication is mostly determining what actually counts as income and the insane amount of deductions and credits you might be eligible for.
For most people a simple standard deduction is very easy to file, and can be done on paper in 15-30 minutes. But I agree that this is still too complicated.

From what I understand (and as a Christian), it's those Christians that take a literal reading of the Bible, not understanding that those parts of the Bible aren't meant to be read literally but are about the WHY of creation rather than the HOW. It's about WHO God is rather than how He did things.

no.
I said nothing about the OS on the phone, why would you assume that I like Android?
I am an iPhone user, but that is beside the point, if Swish and BankID could run on an open mobile plattform, I'd be happy with that.
My point it to separate the main computer from the payment system while still being convenient.
I am a bit confused as how you missed that...

wait, you're right. not sure what i was thinking of... then i guess it's an easy way to get a unique human-readable subscriber identifier?

Either that or Genesis is just an explanation made up by a people group that had little to no idea how anything in the natural world works lol

Blockchain. It was an interesting poc, but it has yet to have a useful implementation apart from scams.
Tamper evident logs are a good use case for blockchain.

Racism will never die as we evolved to be tribal. Best we can do as a society is make it unacceptable. Which was happening when I grew up in 70s/80s America. Now we've backtracked and gone all-in with dog whistles.
