And this is fucking progressive ass Cali.

The left and the right can’t stop fucking with their bases long enough to fix real problem.

With all the crazy ass things that can kill us off, I don’t think we’re alone in the universe, but we may very well be alone in time.

The Fermi Paradox might just the the likelyhood to get wiped out from motions to everything and we’re too far away to get contact in this gnat’s ass of a conscious timeline we’re in.

I see bikes too, less numbers. Haven’t seen hose drinkers in a long time. Just had a conversation with my youngest today that we didn’t carry water bottles in school when I was young, we just used water fountains.

he was appalled :)

berries and honey is some paprika and salt away from BBQ sauce.

should we be scared at all that they could fudge the popular vote enough to use this against us, or is the electoral college scarier?

Yeah, the whole video was a bit strange. Interestingly, telling about the US’s current fabrication capabilities. Just about all manufacturing in the US is now pretty dependent upon China, which in itself isn’t a problem, but for a country where a large chunk of the population thinks they can just homestead without fabrication, it’s a wakeup call.

Not recently but last I heard it was from boomers that are mad kids aren’t drinking out of hoses and riding bikes on the roads.

Any changes for safety, they presume, make us weak.

My problem is we’ve let it through literally everywhere else, cameras, cellphones, public survielance, dashcams. The one thing that i’d actually like to be able not to pull my phones out for is the hill to die on. it just all seems really fucking pointless

the fraction of people doing that is very small, while the percentage of people doing that with Meta glasses is basically 100%.

care to give me any citation at all on that?

But the glasses do this as a core function.

go back to google glass, it had none of that and it was just as big of a target.

It’s also a lot more obvious when someone is using a phone to record in public.

There are entire kinks around voyure footage taken unaware in public from cell phones. I think your lack of seeing people doing it a confirmation bias.

If I obviously orientate my phone towards you or your kids, you’ll be totally cool?

You don’t need to obviously do that, a reasonably wide lens and you “reading social media” would do the same. It happens all the fucking time.

Now assume that a smartpervert glass wearer is doing just that but you don’t know about it.

Assume every time someone has their phone in front of them their camera is on and has at least a 45 degree viewing angle.

I’m saying it’s exactly the same on a phone, don’t delude yourself that it isn’t happening or that it’d be totally obvious

phones should absolutely indicate and in a way that can’t be taped over.

I’ve never completely understood what the full fuss is over the face-mounted cameras. They put high-power zooms and 50MP sensors on the back of cell phones, and nobody bats an eye.

There’s fuckloads of recording going on. Do it with a phone? yeah fine. Do it with glasses, world’s gonna end.

Put an indicator light on the glasses with a sensor to make sure it’s on from the nose bridge.

I’d LOVE to replace my phone with a pair of glasses.

I miss something? I don’t watch all his stuff, but I haven’t seen him be too horrible, aside from the occasional cluelessness.

And the space shuttle which did it for decades

Propaganda!!!

in history? not sure, delivery/service man was on top for a LONG time

Journalism is already dead, we’re just hearing the echoes of it’s past.

Noone has to write the articles anymore

Noone can tell the real from the fake

There are no rules or integrity around the process

Points of view are now owned.

Algorithms will decide what is true and what is false.

The only journalism that exists anymore fits squarely into the 1984 hole.

The Internet Archive needs to be decentralized and taken deep offline with only tunnels back.

I mean, he’s ape-brained still, he might have a point.

Absolutely not. No normal people are buying it. People dedicated to buy in the USA were.

All those components he purchased were at the best possible price they could give him.

We don’t have enough manufacturing capability anymore to have internal competition. We can’t compete against china so we don’t even try.

The owners and stock-holders get the lions share and we’re left paying $2 for a $0.10 bolt.
