  • Uhh, okay. Plenty of people I know can point out attractive people without it turning into a fight. This is toxic.

  • Not really? As lightnsfw said, even if you're monogamous you should be able to notice attractive people without it turning into a fight.

  • I'm in an open marriage with a slightly bi woman, and these boomer-tier memes are always so funny to me. We look at women together, and when she asks if I want to sleep with them it feels more like coaxing than a trap.

  • Why? To get shot by the police? How long ago was BLM?

  • Only with fraudulent intent, like trying to pass it off as a higher denomination. Artistic modifications are perfectly legal, or those penny crank machines would be illegal.

  • Who's gonna actually read it? Don't waste the effort. Swastikas are dead simple to CNC, or punch

  • Showing contempt for him at this stage could be interpreted as contempt for these issues.

    Eh, that seems equivalent to saying gardening can backfire because you could stab yourself in the foot with a pitchfork or something. You can show contempt for their solutions while acknowledging the problems. Obviously, if you suck at rhetoric you shouldn't get into debates in the first place.

    Using logical fallacies against him is to basically hand him that legitimacy for free by making him appear "reasonable".

    The sort of people who are swayed by fascist rhetoric aren't the sort that have a keen eye for reasonableness and logical fallacy. It's an emotional stance based on posturing. Weakness is a far greater sin to the fascist than irrationality.

    The easiest solution to all this is not to debate them at all.

    That's not a solution at all. If no one pushes back on their messaging, they get implicit control of the narrative. That's a lot harder to do when their audience tunes in to watch their idol own the libs, but then see him get dog walked.

  • I can see the value of debating fascist, as long as you're not trying to debate in good faith. If a fascist invites you to sit down for a televised debate, it's an opportunity to practice hostile, belittling techniques. Don't try to use logic, feel free to cut loose and shower them with emotional degradation and every fallacy you can think of. Steamroll them, laugh in their face, liberally use terms like "boot-licking cuck boy". It's pretty fun honestly, especially if you're the type of person who always avoids disingenuous debate tactics.

    Fascism relies on posturing, looking like the strong man against the weak enemy. Making a fascist look meek and pathetic is the most effective tool if you're trying to crush their influence. No one wants to follow a fascist that looks like a floundering loser.

  • It's more useful for some people. Even then, you never know. Attraction is weird sometimes.

  • My first thought was how attracted they are to me, which I guess is kinda the same thing

  • For me, I've got a million interests. I could change and learn this one thing, but that would take time away from learning about other, more personally interesting things.

  • Quite a bit earlier, I believe

  • I can think of several use-cases: subtitles for the hearing impaired, translation, AR overlays for technical work, etc. Not saying they're a good value, but it seems weird to say there's no use-case.

    And I genuinely don't understand the pervert angle. What do they do for perverts that can't be done with much cheaper button/pen cameras, or even a phone in your breast pocket?

    Like sure, there are problems with surveillance and ads and other nasty tech bro shit, that much is obvious. But I sincerely do not understand why they're being called pervert glasses. Am I missing something?

  • I got pulled out of highschool before my junior year and got my GED, so I never really graduated, which probably explains why I've never gotten an invite. Even if I had graduated, I wasn't very popular so it's possible I wouldn't have gotten an invite anyway.

    But even if I had, most of my friends were a year or two older, so there wouldn't be many people there that I'd actually care about seeing.

  • Probably wouldn't stand correctly in that case tho

  • Given enough time. The short timeframe could actually be a boon.

  • Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify genocide. That's exactly what a secret MAGA would say.

    You're literally justifying Palestinians as collateral damage. You don't have the moral high ground here. You're perfectly willing to sacrifice the lives of others

  • And was quite possibly a major contributor to the toxic "conservatism" of an entire generation
