There are many states that have 2-party consent laws regarding being recorded. In my jurisdiction, what the glasshole did might have been illegal. (I’m not a lawyer or judge)

I don’t have a link right offhand, but the indicator led is defeatable. There’s people on ebay offering the modded glasses for only (iirc) like $100 more than msrp.

They will be (and are already being) replaced by younger evangelicals, fascists (but I repeat myself), and con artists. They won’t go away.

Isn’t it the one getting the blocks knocked out of him?

Nah, they’re run by the laziest chucklefucks you’ve ever met - they’re plugged right into a broadband modem with no firewall running bog standard teamviewer or RDP awaiting any connection (no filtering) because the people setting up and using these systems have no concept of infosec. They know how to set up their industrial system, plug it into the ‘computer thingy’, and hand it off the the municipal water dude who is a flat earth, anti-fluoride, moon-landing hoax, J6-denialist who knows nothing about technology, but wants to run the town’s water treatment from his cell phone.

(not that I’m jaded by small town dynamics or anything)

It was great when it was niche. It was an exploding universe of optimism, unique experiences, and content when the worst we had to deal with was annoying banner ads.

I love that his opponent wore pink gloves to send him to the shadow realm.

Tell me more! I must have missed this!

They’ll claim that part is where their “fair” and “balanced” are.

What a stable individual.

Can’t take a private jet from your mansion in the gated community to your high-rise in the city. Traffic sucks for everyone where it sucks.

(not that I give a fuck if it sucks for shit-sticks like Musk and Rogan)

Time is a wheel. We’ve seen this movie before, and although we believe we know how it ends, we gotta keep looking out for the M. Night Shamalan twists.

But of course, they’ll be reported in the news as “violent ‘anteefa’ extremists”, despite their beat-up lifted truck sporting “Trump 2028” bumper stickers and confederate flags.

And vote to increase funding for it.

I think when people say “destruction of the planet” they are really meaning “our ecosphere and the multitude of species that are currently going extinct”.

Many recognize that we are in a 6th mass extinction period and understand that as the ecosystem goes, so do we. Is the spheroid body of the planet going to crumble or plate tectonics stop working because we’re gone? With all deference to George Carlin, no we know better (we’ll, there is the question about racking-induced earthquakes, but that’s a bit in the weeds).

It’s gotta be… Right‽

I’m really not sure…

And a MAGA POS.

Willing to host a small family from the US that absolutely loves your country?

“over 100 people usually run for every position”

Are you out your mind‽‽‽

Around here, and in a LOT of places, there isn’t even a challenger on the ballot!

That is hilariously, maddenly accurate. You win the day!
