From the opening part of the article, the problem is not just the glasses. The glasses are definitely an issue that needs to be sorted out society wide, but there is a problem with how these boys are raised. Badly raised boys have always been an issue but now they are being raised by manosphere incel influencers. The glasses just let them record their harassment to post for clout and to draw others into their bullying.
I have a ten minute window where it doesn’t matter when I leave the house, I get to work at the same time. If I leave before that I get to work fifteen minutes early and I’m not getting paid for that.
Call the local dojos. Ask if anyone wants to be in an action film. They need to look Asian and stand about the same height as Steven Seagull sitting down. We’ll pay them in exposure.
By the end of Trump’s third term the army will be reduced to fighting with muskets and redigging Bunker Hill because that was good enough to beat the British. The Marines will look like the 90s recruiting ads, and the Airforce will be spending everything on the F-47 and bigger pointier missiles. The Navy will go over budget trying to redesign a coal power plant in the Trump class battleship and have nothing to show for it.
Mussolini started the fascist movement and was doing some serious aura farming ,as the kids would say. Going for rebuilding the Roman Empire would be a serious Minion bait.
Hitler passed him in evilness and had a penchant for ridiculous super weapons. Some of the cockups they had could have been Minion level.
Stalin was neck and neck with Hitler for evil, murder, and conquest. However, I think by the time they turn his way, the Minions would have looked at all the purges, holodomor, etc and just decided to take a personal vacation until the CIA showes up.
Bears are cool. Cops are racist. The few times tasers have been used instead of shooting people is almost certainly outnumbered by the total deaths from taser use. Taser use far exceeds the cases when they would be used in place of a bullet. These gloves aren’t anywhere close to being an alternative to shooting. They are gloves with a range of zero. There will be a short honeymoon before it’s just torture with an extra charge of resisting.
What we have seen with Tasers (the company is Axon now and they are doing Flock camera things too) is that the line didn’t noticeably move. The cops still shoot as much as they want and use tasers mostly for “compliance” and laziness. Giving cops shock gloves won’t lower shootings, they will only increase torture. Thought exercise. Person outside of touch range, gun or gloves? Next scenario: cop turns on gloves, grabs civilian, and starts yelling “stop resisting”.
Taser/Axon coined the pseudoscientific term “exited delirium” as a cover for cops killing civilians with their tasers. This was cops tasing people for extended periods of time, even after handcuffed, and using tasers when they were not needed.
Out all together. The reason for putting them in was to have an immediate response to a shooter. The actual effect is that students, with a very noticeable racial bias, are getting arrested for things that should be an in school issue. And they are doing same crap that we see cops doing in the streets.
Yes! I forgot about that. Too much interesting times to remember it all.
“I don’t know if I would have done it. Unless nobody was around, then I’d give you a yacht ride to my friends island.”
I was thinking about NFTs yesterday and how AIs have probably scrapped them all and will happily copy all the monkeys and such.
Think I could sell AI generated NFTs?
Having everything open, on and available 24/7/365 sounds nice until you realize the human toll for things which aren’t that necessary and can be planned around. Down time is a good thing.
Back in the late 90s there was a brutal multiple victim murder where some random guy walked into the back of a local restaurant before it opened and killed everyone in the kitchen. Some TV station did a true crime story on it where they changed the all the names but the local police had a copy and knew it was that story. I kind of realized then that they just pull the subject case out of a hat and slap on The Voice, a camera filter, and follow the formula of tense interviews and add breaks.
Yes, they have a very good idea on accuracy. For the record, I was originally a young earth creationist but curiosity got the better of me. Geologists are very obsessive about rocks so it’s just a case of puzzling out what rocks match perfectly despite distance, accounting for things like erosion or volcanoes, and lining up the various ages of rocks for when they were made and when other rocks filled in. Then add fossils to check connections and weather conditions. There is obviously more than this, but it’s something a person can get real deep into.
The planet would not be noticeably different in size. The last time the earth got a noticeable rise in mass we ended up with a moon. There is evidence of objects in the lower mantle that are most likely old sunken tectonic plates, but I don’t recall details.
In totally unrelated news, there is a trend of students starting to use older phone models.
You haven’t seen me bake. There are no maps where we are going. I follow dark magic and shepherd the carbs to their full potential.
No, most people realize that it’s a nonsense argument based off a couple action movies. Same reason they banned butterfly knives and nunchucks in many states despite the fact that you can have any other knife and say a lock in a sock. It’s hype based pearl clutching. Why sneak a pos plastic gun through a metal detector when the better option that is already used is to wait for the target outside, or to just run in guns blazing? The whole concept of “ghost guns” is the same way. Criminals already are not getting tracked down by serial numbers. Even without the 2A arguments though, this is a stupid thing to put on 3d printers.
I was on dial-up internet well after most people had moved to dedicate higher speed connections. It was very obvious then that websites were just piling more crap in and I was thinking about how much of a problem that trend was going to be for our hardware. That wasn’t even considering how much those companies would be dipping into our time, sanity, and privacy.
None of the people who hated DEI/affirmative action could ever tell me what it actually is. None of the people who say “let the market decide” understand or recognize that there are serious financial benefits to diversity based practices.
I know a couple people who one could describe as “twat” who turn off traction control and abs, thinking they are going to be rally drivers on the way to McDonalds. They tend to end up in the ditch.
Subaru has been good. The lane warning was the only thing we turned off because it was just obnoxious. If something is beeping constantly and erratically, what’s the point? The lane centering had a tendency to pull towards semis when passing but that seems to have been fixed in an update. The only other thing that is more a quality of life is a way easily and preemptively to turn off the backup warning and breaking assist when pulling a trailer.
