England and Wales Courts Ban Meta Smart Glasses Over Recording Risks

You’re right, the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s all had distinct styles. That started fading in the 90s, and unless you look closely, the nearly three decades since are all very similar.

I think we can rightly blame capitalism for homogenizing our culture, and spreading it around the world. And, even if we can’t, I still will, and also fuck Mark Zuckerberg just because I haven’t said it yet today.

I’m wondering about the penis holders.

New! For that special gooner on your Christmas list!

I’m wondering how the salad fares.

Yes, they were on display. I should have clarified that I did not snatch a pair of pervert glasses off a glasshole’s face and examine them.

Classic.

It takes about 45 days from offer acceptance to closing.

Have an estate sale, sell what you can, donate what didn’t sell or just fill a roll-off bin and be done with it.

Don’t put much money into the house, just clean it out, paint it, and put it on the market. In almost every case, you won’t get your money back on renovations, you’re lucky to break even, and it just ends up a waste of time and money. If it needs big repairs, do just what’s needed to bring it up to code, or put it on the market as is. For most areas, the value is in the land, not the structure, remember that. You don’t determine the price, the market does.

You need a Realtor. It’s very unlikely a Realtor will screw you over, as long as you understand up front what they charge. It’s heavily regulated. If the price is right when it’s listed, it will sell in a few days or weeks, depending on the market. If you insist on pricing it higher than market value, it will sit until you give up and lower the price.

I was at Best Buy recently, first time in many years. I got to see a pair in person for the first time. The things feel cheap af. Like cheap plastic sunglasses for kids. I was a little surprised.

MOIST!

How about when there’s that bit of filth at the back, center you know came from their ass crack?

It’s even worse when you know who it is, because now it’s like you have x-ray vision to their ass crack.

Yeah, YouTube sucks, he’s fine.

Rudy’s menu near me. 2.50 more for “moist”.

I don’t think I’d want to be a billionaire. A hundred million? Yeah. But, any more than that I think fucks too hard with the head. It’s an impossible amount to understand, and the power that comes with it corrupts.

You might say, “then, just give most of it away”, and yeah, that makes sense, but I don’t know how fast it happens. I don’t know if I’d be able to. I think once I realized it was really mine, it might be hard to “just give it away”. I don’t know what that corruption feels like.

And, I’m not sure I want to.

No. I’ll take the $19 and I’ll leave being a billionaire to the people who handle it so well.

The most recent video, though, really is fucked up.

YouTube gave him a copyright strike for literal silence. For NOT playing the Sound of Silence. Then, the claimant refused his appeal, and he’s left needing to leave the video up which is demonetized for him, because of his sponsor on the video.

I’ve been checking out Peertube instances recently and finding some cool stuff. But, there are a couple of channels on YT I’d miss, and I know they won’t go anywhere else.

Yep, they’ve turned what was intended to be informative into a selling vehicle.

They push calories as the only thing we need to consider or track then they pull shit like this.

I weep for our future. Kids in grade school right now are graduating barely able to read anything past the poorly spelled texts on their phones, let alone parse something so “complicated” as a nutritional label. Of course plenty of adults can’t manage it either, but it’s getting worse, is the point.

Is it advertised on the front, as well. In big letters, “0 Calories!”?

They needed a case to promote and make an example of, to justify further mass surveillance. It doesn’t matter to them that what he was doing was legal. It only matters that they can present this as a fearful situation that needs to be controlled.

The actual threat is tiny, almost nonexistent.

gimp /gĭmp/
noun
A narrow flat braid or rounded cord of fabric used for trimming.
A limp or a limping gait.
A person who limps.

I suppose the association with limping is a bit unfortunate. Although GIMP is an acronym.

The fact that a particular sub-culture has its own slang meaning for the word is irrelevant.
