famously, and sadly.

speaking of things being turned on.

(But yeah lol I’ll pass on that)

are we gonna get a bot that posts people's missed flight skeets?

btw, the "caused a block" bot is fun; is there a "caused a follow" bot?

is it easier for me to ask here than click on your profile? no but it's done and reply skeet

eh the dose makes the poison for everything, including water.

i don't include usage caveats for everything i mention, but sure.

"don't overdo thing X" is definitionally always good advice, given the meaning of the word "overdo" (ditto when people use "too").

creatine and caffeine: the two supplements that: a) are safe; and b) actually do something!

50 years of supplement companies trying to find a third thing to add to that list (or 20) and...nope.

"speaking to a computer like it's JARVIS or the Star Trek computer and having it just *do* stuff" is a very reasonable thing for people to want!

and there are dangers and mishaps and security issues so we aren't there (at least for the cautious user)...yet

live by the rod, die by talking about the rod.

spare the child, don't talk about rod.

in rod we shouldn't trust.

send skeet

dunno if it is still the case but IIRC the avg height in N. Korea vs S. Korea also illustrated this. ditto avg american heights in like 1900 vs 2000

if you don’t use the sarcasm tag, you’re basically just lying to me

when you have power *and* will get credit from the median voter, use it.

we can just agree to disagree that “Dems should help the federal government aka PRESIDENT TRUMP (to the swing voter, these two things are one and the same) send everyone big fat checks” is wise.

but same team and all that. 🫡

i want like 8 short kings.

but then gothed up (complimentary)!

snapped your enthusiasm

i choose to believe you are holding a shield

yeah this isn’t even a close call. dems can refund tariffs in various ways in 2029, not before.

even without Trump’s signature, the vast vast majority of voters will go “oh cool Trump’s government sent me a check!”

ah. Shame they couldn’t just make music with them (the sledgehammers were real, the anvils were fake and contained bells in them). It is *quite* the fucking song! (Again, I’m not even a classical music guy but it is rousing AF)

fucking lol; I’m a philistine but thanks to booking several jobs back in the day at the Lyric Opera of Chicago I was like Wagner?

Surely he means Il Trovatore’s famous Anvil chorus (in which i played! as a non-musician!).

But i presume you mean Wagner PMC?

also what can you do at home that you can’t at the airport (professionally at least and a lot of types of pleasure)?!

laptops and books and such exist.

(Plus I dunno how you relax at home during that period of “if I leave now I’ll def be real early” and “ok I should go, I’m cutting it close”)

it’s not InfoYours, it’s infoWours

arms about smart glasses, yay unto the point of calling for them to be banned, to be met with violence etc, mention outlawing all other surreptitious cameras (and drones and so on).

i’m sure it immediately pivots to “ok then at least prosecute people who use them illicitly” and, yeah, of course!!

I am belatedly reminded of someone one shotting the fuss over the glasses by being like “whatever you do, don’t search for hidden cameras on amazon” (with a screen cap of tiny pin or button size etc cameras dirt cheap for dedicated pervert/creep use).

i have literally *never* seen someone up in

but i also hold myself responsible for how i use *anything* i have and thus use it all ethically (re: privacy plus lol why the fuck would i want stealth pics of anyone? it's not like i'm "holding back" from something i would otherwise want lol)

, an entirely public app).

i buy one off hardware or use the services of many shitty companies and apparently draw the line at "making free art and content and such for overtly evil companies".

was on threads at the time and posting plenty about my life there with a fatalistic attitude about the govt and several biggest companies having everything about me logged anyway.

leaving the Meta social media universe was a principled thing, not a "oh cool now i'll be private" (he says, on blooski

the majority of my pics are still just on the iphone (for control and quality) but some of my best "dad memories" where you can see my hands holding my young child in years gone by are thanks to the glasses.

when i acquired the glasses, it was pre 2024 election and pre-full-Zuck-evil moment so i

how about Pritzker/AOC and they make Pete the sec of state?

Newsom can be, uh, uh hang on lemme think, uh, something? Something to encourage his enthusiastic support on the campaign trail?

get it writ, then get it right

countless other consumer goods that have the potential for abuse!

well they ruined them for cowards, yeah.

although i understand the backlash and i don’t generally “stick up for them” on blooski (i dislike conflict); like people talking about AI a year or two ago (when i was still blanket anti-AI).

you can just use them and not be a fucking creep like with
