Although skimmers still exist and physical card theft is a thing, it’s less common especially in markets that use chip and pin.

…annndddd it’s gone. - Google killing this feature in 18 months.

He did direct Looper though, which is top tier sci-fi.

Same boat, don’t even have a Reddit account any longer, and I’ve noticed an uptick in content that is login-only, so even more reason to not even visit the site.
