  • DEF CON bans Meta-style 'pervert glasses'

  • They don't want people knowing they are being recorded.

    A gopro or a phone held up is basically an indicator of recording happening, which people can choose to avoid if they want to.

    But pervert glasses don't hold up that signal, and the pathetic attempt to make a signal (the LED) is easily covered or otherwise bypassed so you can creep on people without them ever knowing.

  • Because the Ouroborus of capitalism has eaten around to the point it can see the back of its own head, and now it only has two solutions left.

    maximize short term profits at the expense of everything else, and secure their position via buying governments/overthrowing governments/becoming government, in order to secure the constant flow of money and goods upwards to them.

  • a lot of that ugly produce is what goes into canning and pre-made products.

    This is just supposition on my part based on personal experience, but it seems ever since the tariff bullshit started, the availability of quality produce has crashed for me in america, and not only are the "ugly" ones ending up on shelves now, but even damaged ones. . as if theres not enough produce coming in to to allow stores to be selective on what appears on shelves vs what goes into canning/etc.

    I've noticed potatos are smaller, often heavily blemished, meaning I might get 2/3rds of a the weight of edible potato with 1/3rd going to scrap because of damage/etc.

    Tomatos too, tend to be smaller, often bruised, and i've found rot inside more tomtatos since tariff bullshit started, than in all the decades before.

    Carrots are thin, spindly, and barely have any crunch to them.

    Lettuce is now giving everyone Trumparrhea

    Onions, even worse than potatos, are blemished or mouldy, and I might be lucky to get half a pound of edible onion for every pound I buy.

    and its same with everything else I've not mentioned in the produce section.

    I imagine some of this may be regional as well, so that people on the opposite side of the country from me might not have the same experience.

  • I have never met, seen, or even heard about this mythological centrist that isnt a hard righter in disguise.

    and everything you just laid out as examples are heavily used by said hard righters in online discourse (even the ones pretending to be centrists).

  • Bullshit.

    The general public always had that information. Its why I've personally hated him since the fucking 90s. Since fucking paypal he was known as a cunt. Same with Peter Thiel.

    People just put blinders on because they got big boners over electric cars and martian habitats. Cause thats the real issue here. Its not that people didnt know, Its that people willfully ignored, as they always do, because they wanted their neat shinies. Unfortunately for them, Musks miserable, worthless, cunt behavior continued to grow and get worse until they couldnt maintain their willful ignorance.. The same willful ignorance that they now try to hide behind to pretend they didnt know what he was, to justify giving him the money to become what he is.

    If you didnt know what a piece of shit he was, its because you averted your eyes, because the information has always fucking been there, willfully ignored, but its fucking been there.

  • The much more sensible approach is to either have a separate phobe for travelling, that has nothing you care about on it

    and people have gotten in trouble for that, too, for having a travel phone, a phone that was too clean, etc etc.

    Because its not about the phone. Its about stealing data. pictures for facial recognition, contacts so they can map groups, communications so they can search for whatever bullshit excuse they want to string people up.

    This isnt about law. its not about protection people/the country.

    Its about being fascist dicks to undesirable groups of people. Aint seen one motherfucker on the epstein list, one motherfucking CEO, or any trump cockface have their phone seized by border patrol to steal any data.

  • Women who consider themselves unattractive, what’s something men don’t realize about how they treat you compared to women they find attractive?

  • You sure they werent just looking for cameras?

    Cause any time a woman approaches me in public (which isnt very often, before i sound like some bragging fool), especially if its to say something nice/complimentary, my immediate thought is someones trying to record my reaction to put on some tiktok bullshit video.

    I dont even register their appearance, I just quickly look for the Camera, mutter something quietly, and get the fuck away as quick as I can.

    Not tryin to say assholes don't exist, there is an overabundance of assholes in the world afterall.

  • There are a couple local teslas with the “I bought it before I knew how awful he is” stickers and like, okay, I can understand how that might happen. Still gonna judge you until there’s some evidence you don’t suck, but I’m willing to be forgiving on that one.

    Which is absolute bullshit fucking lies.

    Cause hes been a piece of shit his entire fucking life. He's been a piece of shit since Paypal (Which was notorious for stealing peoples money when he was still part of it, hell..probably still is today). The whole "I bought it before I knew how awful he was" bullshit is the equivalent of nazi's ripping off their swastikas, and when confronted saying they knew nothing but what they've heard is awful and terrible.

  • I wish more things would hurt big business.

    Big business needs to be dragged out into the street and beaten to death with 2x4s, to make room for little guys and little businesses to pop up and serve their local areas, that they live in, and are connected too, instead of some soulless corporate fuckshit that has all the decision making a thousand miles away in a festing cespit (delaware) that has nothing but other HQs and decision makers around them.
