Scam calls. Please make them stop.
诈骗电话。赶紧停止吧。
My job requires my coworkers calling ahead when they're 5 minutes away from the customer's house, and like 50% of people just don't pick up because of scam calls.
我的工作要求同事在距离客户家还有5分钟距离的时候给客户打个电话，差不多有50%的人根本不会接电话，因为他们以为那是诈骗电话。
工人经常得打电话回办公室，让办公室从显示我们企业的座机上把电话再打过去，尽管我们会提前告诉消费者他们会在X点左右接到一个本地手机打过去的电话。
And scam texts, especially from email addresses. Why can this not be stopped? There is no legitimate person that is texting me from an email address.
还有诈骗短信，尤其是用电子邮箱发送的那种。怎么就停不下来呢？根本不可能有人用电子邮件地址给我发短信啊。
编辑：我收到的诈骗短信一年前左右突然变多了，并且经常是用我的名字作为开头！所以肯定有人把我的个人信息卖出去了。
Cereal bags that aren't re-sealable.

Oddly the cheap off brand cereals I buy come in a reseable bag.
诡异的是我买的那些便宜的杂牌子麦片却会送能封口的口袋。
Bacon would also like to join this conversation.

Gta V being the most recent Gta
最新发布一部的GTA是GTA5
The console it was launched on has had 2 sequels in the mean time..............
与此同时它首发的游戏主机平台现在已经更新两代了……
It's wild to me that i bought GTA5 on PS3 when I was 27 years old and now I'm 36. I'm certain they been done with GTA6 for years, they just been milking this money cow dry first.
我27岁那年在PS3上买了GTA5，今年我36岁了。我很确定他们已经做了好几年GTA6了，但是他们肯定要先把这个现金牛给榨干。
Skyrim being the most recent Elder Scrolls game too
还有最新的上古卷轴是天际。
This one bothers me the most
这个是最烦的
Pop up adds. Like who still falls for that?
弹出广告。就谁还会上这种当啊？

The naive people. That's why all so many* of the scams are so brutally stupid. Nigerian prince, unknown relative, someone you fall in love with over the internet, someone once called me and tried to convince me there was a crypto wallet made on my name and I could use the funds on it. It filters out those who are careful and pay attention and saves the time for scammers so only the gullible reach out.
天真的人。所以那么多诈骗都蠢得离谱。尼日利亚王子，不认识的亲戚，你在互联网上爱上的人，曾经有个人给我打电话，想要让我相信有个用我的名字注册的加密货币钱包我可以随便用里面的钱。这能够把那些足够谨慎、会动脑子思考的人给筛出去，给诈骗者省下时间，好留下那些最好骗的。
Yeh, cast a wide enough net and you'll eventually catch some fish. They're not going for you, they're going for the low hanging fruit...people that just started using a computer a few weeks ago.
没错，只要你的网撒的足够宽，那么你总会抓到几条鱼的。他们不是冲着你来的，他们是冲着那些容易摘的果实去的……比如那些几个星期之前刚开始用电脑的人。
我小姑子就上了很简单的Paypal电子邮件诈骗的当，说她需要重新认证自己的信息，然后她还纳闷为什么自己的钱被转到不知道的电邮地址了。她还上了两次当。他们骗的就是这种人。
MLMs.
直销。
As long as there are suckers there will be MLM
只要还有人生输家，就还有直销。
Are you looking to make extra money in your spare time?
你打算用空闲时间挣点零花钱吗？
Fax machines.
传真机。
I had to fax something recently for my son's surgery (Ontario, Canada). I couldn't mail it or email it, it had to be faxed. I don't own a fax machine or know anyone who does. I had to go to Staples and use an ancient fax machine there.
我最近得为儿子的手术做一些传真（加拿大的安大略）。我不能寄信，也不能发电子邮件，只能发传真。我没有传真机，也不知道谁有传真机。我只能去史泰博去他们那里特别老的一台传真机。
I don't own a fax machine or know anyone who does.
引用：“我没有传真机，也不知道谁有传真机。”
原创翻译：龙腾网 http://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处
你现在不需要拥有自己的传真机了。我们公司从来都没有买过传真机，但是我们的网站上还是列出了一系列的传真号码。它的工作原理是这样的：
有很多公司会为你提供虚拟传真机。如果他们收到传真，就会扫描之后作为附件邮给你。如果你想要寄传真的话，就可以去他们的网站上传一份JPEG图片（或者别的格式的图片），然后输入电话号码，于是这份文件就会“从你的传真号”“发传真给他们”。
你不可能看出这是真实还是虚拟的传真，所以我们就坐在办公桌前，用网页浏览器甚至智能手机收发传真！
我们只不过是碰巧用电子传真，每个月给他们一小笔费用，但是或许也有免费的替代品。这过去十五年来我们一直都在用，没什么问题。这些服务存在的意义就是你用不着真正的传真机，你就可以随时随地发送传真了，因为它是以附件的形式发给你的。你可以从世界上任何一个地方用任何的智能手机发送，因为你需要的只是一个浏览器而已。
That just sounds like a shittier email.
这听起来就是一种更烂的电邮啊。
It’s less convenient and less efficient, but on the plus side it’s more expensive and slower too.
虽然更加不方便，也更加没有效率，但是从好的方面来讲，它也更贵，并且也更慢了。
Don't forget wildly insecure and worse for the environment!
别忘了它还非常不安全，而且对环境也更糟糕！
For companies I've worked for, eFax is an email address you send to, putting the phone number in the subject line. It faxes it. Then the receiver's eFax service delivers it to their email inbox.
我工作过的那些公司，电子传真就是你给一个邮件地址发邮件，把电话号码写在标题栏里，它就会把它做成传真发出去。然后接收方的电子传真服务再把东西发到他们的电子邮箱收件箱里。
本质上就是电子邮件，多了更多步骤而已。
At my workplace we still fax a good amount of stuff. It's "more secure" than email in that is passes through less stuff because it's point-to-point, and not being stored/saved/copied by email providers, servers, anti-virus, or firewalls.
在我工作的地方，我们仍然会发很多的传真。传真比电子邮件更“安全”，因为它通过更少的东西，是点对点的服务，并且不会被电子邮件服务提供商、服务器、反病毒软件或者防火墙之类的东西储存、保存或是复制。
That there still isn’t a good easy way to wash hats
还没有简单又有效的洗帽子方法。
I found a way to wash hats at home. Easy.
我找到了一个在家就能洗帽子的方法。很轻松。
在水里泡10分钟。
用牙刷或者别的小刷子沾肥皂刷洗。
在水里浸泡5分钟。
把烤箱加热到200摄氏度。
把帽子放到烤箱里烘干12分钟。
把帽子取出来。
发现帽子缩水了。
把它扔了。

It's like gta 5 at this point, no new game just lots of upxes
就有点像是现在的GTA5了，不出新游戏，但是一个劲儿地出更新
Gotta keep milking the cow!
得可着牛挤奶啊!
And there is still content planned for the next years.
甚至还把接下来的内容排到了明年。
Urg. The game is breaking more each time they release a pack. They should just make a new game.
哎……每次他们出个新的DLC游戏都会崩溃得更频繁。他们就应该直接做个新游戏的。
Do you really believe the next game would be any different though?
你真的相信下一部作品会有什么区别吗？
Email attachment file size limits.
电子邮件附件有文件大小限制。
Why do those even exist in the first place?? I have to send three different emails for 20 pictures sometimes, it’s ridiculous!!
为什么这种限制要存在呢？我有时候为了发20张照片要发三封电子邮件，简直太可笑了！
Back in the early days on dial up Compuserve, a girl sent me an email attachment of an .avi of the dancing baby, uncompressed. It was over 110MB. The email program wouldn't let you "mark as read" until it finished downloading the message and attachments (this is like 1994). It took my entire month's allotment of internet hours to download the fucking thing.
在拨号上网的早期，有个女孩送了我一个the dancing baby的附件，没压缩的.avi格式。当时的电子邮件程序可不会让你“标记为已读”，除非它把邮件内容和附件都下载完了（那还是1994年）。我整个月的上网时间都在下载那玩意儿。
我的想法是文件大小限制能够预防犯蠢，比如某个从事会计的人员不小心把他们的整个金融数据库都发给你了。
Queen Elizabeth II.
伊丽莎白女王二世。
She’s 95 years old if anyone’s wondering
如果有人不知道，她今年已经95岁了。
Slavery. Human trafficking. All the bad stuff.
蓄奴。人口贩卖。那些不好的事情。
原创翻译：龙腾网 http://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处
If there is a sliver lining to this, it's that the number of people enslaved and trafficked per million humans (to throw out a number) is waaaay down from previous centuries, and it's illegal everywhere. It exists in the shadows and under threat of law enforcement finding them out.
如果硬要找好的方面的话，每百万人中被奴役、被贩卖的人口比起前几个世纪要少太多了，并且到处都是违法行为。这些行为只能在阴影中生存，并且受到执法部门的威胁。
这对于我们这个物种而言算是很大的进步了。
Internet with data caps
有数据流量限制的互联网。
Lifetime career politicians
职业政治家
My solution would be to have every one who goes to DC (executive branch, Supreme Court and Congress) surrender all their assets to the Treasury department. They can hold on to a single home, single car and $100,000 in household goods.
我的解决方案就是所有去华盛顿特区上班的人（不论是行政部门，最高法院还是国会）都把自己的财产放到财政部。他们可以持有一个房子，一辆车和价值10万美元的家庭用品。
所有其他的股票和财产都变成现金，然后存到专人管理的基金账户里。
原创翻译：龙腾网 http://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处
国会和参议院议员在华盛顿上班的时候，他们可以住在公寓里，花纳税人的钱在自助餐厅吃饭。
我们把当选最高年龄设置为72岁，他们必须在76岁生日那天离开办公室。
It's so weird to me that governance and leadership is just about the only field (I suppose these days, medicine's getting scarily close to the list) where a good chunk of the population actively idolises making sure the people doing it are amateurs without experience.
对我来说最诡异的一件事就是，政府治理和领导是唯一一个（我感觉现在医药行业也有点这个倾向）领域，其中大部分的人口把一群没有任何业务经验的业余人士捧成偶像。
I feel like all politicians should have some kind of formal training in conflict resolution and something to do with diversity and equity. I'm not saying they should all have master's degrees (I do think you should have a relevant PhD to be president though) because that's just an unfair barrier for impoverished people. But there should be some kind of associates type program that goes into how governments work, international relations, and basic stuff about humanitarian issues.
我觉得所有政治家都应该接受一些正式的训练，比如在解决冲突，以及处理多样性和平等等方面。我的意思不是说他们都应该有硕士学位（但是我确实觉得你想要当总统的话得有个相关的博士学位），因为这对于贫困人士来说算是一种不公平的天花板。但是应该存在一种研究政府、国际关系、人道主义问题等基本问题的学位项目。
Health insurance tied to your employment.
与你的工作联系在一起的医疗保险。
Just wait until we start doing a la carte health insurance:
早晚有一天我们会有单点的医疗保险：
“非常抱歉，您的医疗保险只涵盖了肾、胃和肠道。不幸的是癌症已经扩散到了您的肝脏，所以我们也没什么能做的了。我们会尽力让你尽可能舒服一些的。”
Australia is trying to make that work on the private market, using the US' metal names. It seems like a good idea until your newborn child needs a gold level specialist.
澳大利亚正在私有市场尝试这种东西，用那种很有美国风格的金属名字。可能听起来是个好主意，但是等到你自己的新生儿需要“黄金”级别的专业医师你就不这么想了。
ABC上有个视频，有个小孩直到20岁生日为止每年要花六千澳元的神经内科医疗费。就因为这套系统，私有体制是不会给你保的。
Like Slayer and Metallica? I don't know how that could possibly work.
像Slayer和Metallica的那种金属吗？我不知道这怎么可能实现。
With the bronze, silver, gold, and basic meaning who you can see not just what you pay. I.e. neck surgery, which the neurologist supervised, required silver. You cannot upgrade to cover a preexisting condition (even kids).
是青铜，白银，黄金和基本这些分级，它们代表的不止是你花钱的程度，还代表着你能看哪些医生。比如颈部手术需要神经科医生监督，就需要白银级。你不能通过升级的方式来治疗以前就得了的疾病（就算孩子也是如此。）

What about platinum, diamond and Legend?
那白金，钻石和传奇呢？
American health insurance is one of the biggest scams in human history
美国医疗保险业就是人类历史上最大规模的诈骗。
It's not even really insurance. "Insurance" is a premium you pay to cover unexpected disasters and emergencies. This thing we use for checkups and routine stuff is not insurance. More like something you buy to avoid the penalties on your bills.
它甚至都算不上是什么保险。“保险”是你为了预防意想不到的灾害或者紧急情况而支付的费用。但我们现在用在体检和常规事项上的东西不算什么保险。更像是买来防止账单上出现罚金的东西。
Universal health care may or may not be the answer, but let's just make it affordable at least. I payed out of pocket, 1k a month for good insurance. Got blood work, got billed by the office, and then another separate lab bill for more.
不论全民医保是不是答案，至少我们应当让医保变得大家都买得起。我每个月要花1000美元买保险。做个抽血化验，办公室收我一次费，化验室又收我一次费。
你每个月要花的费用数量大得可笑，但是换来的保额一点也不多，你还得花更多的钱才能满足最低保险金额，除了测血压之外任何开药、抽血之类的东西都得再接着花钱。
I got robbed this year. I have marketplace insurance. My kids do not, they are in college. They made a combined income of 14K while going to college. Because this raised my household income, I owed 3K more in my taxes. I had 4K of out of pocket hospital bills (6k deductible) and and insurance premiums on top of that. I’m cancelling my Markeplace insurance this year, I can’t afford it.
我今年就被抢了。我买了个市场上的医疗保险。我家孩子们没有，他们还在上大学。他们在大学里的收入加一块有14000美元。因为这提升了我的家庭收入，我要额外交3000美元的税。我每个月自付的医疗费用就是4000美元（达到6000才开始保），此外我还要交保险。我今年就要退出这个项目了，我实在花不起这个钱。
Poverty, children dying because they have nothing to eat or water to drink
贫困，孩子们因为没东西吃、没水喝而死掉。
This. Here in Zimbabwe, a lot of kids dropped out of school because of covid. About a million of these kids can be seen begging for food on the streets in town and it's just depressing
没错。在津巴布韦这里，有很多孩子因为新冠没学上了。大约有100万的孩子在大街上乞讨食物，这真的令人压抑。
Meanwhile we have billionaires telling them to "get off their ass and work"
与此同时我们这里还有亿万富翁在告诉他们“赶紧起来工作”。
Violence in the name of religion
以宗教为名义的暴力。
I agree. Can’t we just have violence in the name of violence?
我同意。我们能不能直接整以暴力为名义的暴力？
Can I introduce you to our Lord and Saviour, Khorne?
我能不能向你们介绍我们的天父和救世主，恐虐？（译注：《战锤》系列架空宇宙中的一位神明）
Religion in the name of violence, checkmate
以暴力为名义的宗教，将军了
Blood for the Blood God
血祭血神！
We will teach them our peaceful ways with force!
我们要用力量来教会他们我们和平的生活方式！
