I hate these glasses but i fear other devices might fulfil a similar purpose, so legislating against them specifically might not be the answer.
I wonder whether it would be possible to create legislative areas where individuals are prohibited from recording video, and proprietors or governments recording video can only distribute it under specific circumstances like criminal onvestigations.
I feel you buddy.
My AI thingy told me you would do what I told you to.
Most people, including myself, can acknowledge that we are not experts on everything, and therefore rely on the opinion of people who are experts in a given field.
Figuring out “whats true and what isn’t” requires you to be come an expert.
Indeed. Americans have just been letting Trump fuck them
They don’t have to arrest people. Just being there will discourage loads of people from showing up.
I listened to this podcast recently:
Well, so we know we went and saw him in the middle of the war. I mean, early stages of the war, very intense period of the war, about two weeks and a bit into the war with Iran. And he the thing he first thing he wanted us to see, he was holding up photographs of maple trees. And he’s saying, you know, I’m buying these maple trees for the White House. Turns out I’m good at buying trees. And then underneath it were photographs of the ballroom and the columns. He wanted us to know the columns are, I think, bigger than the Supreme Court’s columns or more of them or what have you. And one side was inspired by Athens and the other side by Rome. This occupied probably first 15 minutes of our time with him before we got to anything to do with the Iran war.
and earlier …
It’s truly an inordinate amount of his time is spent redecoration, renovation, the ballroom, but also building monuments and naming things after himself. It’s become an obsession. And we have a scene in the book, actually, in the Oval Office last October where he he’s talking to a couple of visitors about he wants to build essentially a replica of the Arc de Triomphe in Washington, which they call internally the Arc de Trump. You know, he’s got different models of it. There’s a huge one, a middle one, a small one. You know, he wants it to be bigger than the Lincoln Memorial. Anyway, he’s in the room with some of his agents. He says, let’s call Emmanuel. Let’s call Emmanuel. Ask because he had some questions he wanted to know about the Arc de Triomphe, which presumably he could have just Googled. […] But instead, he gets Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, on the speakerphone. And he starts asking Emmanuel, you know, does your arch have a viewing platform? Do people jump off it? You know, all this. How big is the arch? You know, all these sort of questions about the arch. So I just there’s no way that I can overstate how much time is spent on these matters.

That last sentence has really stuck with me.
I believe in the consensus opinion of experts.
That’s contrary to the consensus.
Spare me the tech-bro finance.
Yes the fed does set yield rates but there are grave consequences to unreasonable manipulations - it’s the antithesis of the role of the central bank.
Oh yeah, because currency is just numbers on a computer right? Why bother with these pesky bonds and yield rates at all. Just fire anyone who says you can’t spend your way out of bad headlines.
Actually the bond market is showing signs that the US really cant afford to bail out much of anything.
I’m sure governments all over the world will get right on to this.
Fuck I miss the time when I could just watch a movie and think “ooh that actress is hot”, without having to consider their position on Israel or crypto.
This is happening here in Australia too.
All public facilities.
It always seems to be about kids and sex?
Like one of these idiots found a book that had a diagram of a dick and borrowed it with a child’s library card and somehow that was a major incident?
Also somehow providing several “family” change rooms at the swimming pool instead of just male and female is somehow enabling pedophiles?
There’s no “it”.
They’re working on a bunch of things. The swing against them needs to be too big to fake.
What does AOC and DSA have to do with Epstein ?
Actually this is really common.
In areas with unreliable power, powdered milk is much more common. People often do mix it super thick and spread it on bread.
Obviously not a balanced diet but you could do a lot worse for a cheap meal.
I mean of course they would say that, but it’s pretty obvious the financial situation in the US is deteriorating.
