Just burst already!

It could be that it isn’t there on the Canadian version?/

Where did you find it?

Where is this fucking page? I want to know where!

Many do not have that option. Some do. But others don’t.

Good. Fuck self check out.

The machines have cameras and are recording you. Yes I know they also have cameras around the cashier’s place, but not staring you in the fucking face. Also I can pay in cash.

The 70s sucked for many reasons. However this was not one of them.

No offense, but for the population at large, was there a meaningful choice?

The side that really wanted this might have been a smaller minority than the ones that did not, but ultimately they were not only far for violent (in every meaning of the word and method) but also had control of the police and the courts, meaning murderers routinely got away with it while the leadership and even rank and file got murdered, received very long prison sentences that removed them from society entirely, or even got framed for murders and executed or lynched for it.

The average person does not now, or have they ever, dictated anything. Also as it stands there is no such thing as an ‘average’ person by any metric.

Can I ask one fucking question?

What is the advantage of a ‘smart’ fridge? No really. What does it do better? I saw a review of toasters from cheap toasters to crazy expensive toasters (that I believe were from a generation still not Internet connected) that did show that the really really expensive one did have better performance in getting the toast just perfect… But fridges? What do they do better?

When someone uses a gun to kill, the gun is simply evidence and the means of murder. The person is the one on trial and will be punished for it.

Ditto for this AI.

Oskar himself was convicted of raping a 14 year old girl in the 1920s.

Look up Oskar Dirlewanger and his group in the Nazis… They literally had murderers in their ranks

I would feel sorry and embarrassed for the llama.

That is fucking dark, dude. I don’t know what else to say.

I worked with a guy like that. A guy who believed that flock cameras zooming in on people and even looking at what they are seeing on their phones, as well as ring camera documenting EVERYONE who passes by, is fine. Because no privacy in public in their minds.

I am in Canada and they were Canadians, too. Flock isn’t a thing in most of Canada. Also he defended the felony murder rule even though it hasn’t been law in Canada since 1991 and was never done the same way as it was in the US. I cited cases of felony murder in the US (real cases) and he refused to believe any of them for some reason.

In 2016 there was a spy themed nerdy convention I was going to. As a way of getting into it. I ordered a lot of what I thought was fun spy gear. Camera sunglasses, camera wristwatches, camera pens, etc.

They worked (the pens… Their vest clip is the worst thing! I cannot put it anyway). They were low res. But I will say they this: they were 100% airgapped. No Bluetooth or WiFi. And you had to pull the data with a cable (it stored the stuff on a removable microSD card). Unhackable and private, basically.

I wish I kept a pair of camera sunglasses. I used them when on vacation to record things hand free (the camera was on the nose bridge, between the eyes) and I took some nice stuff going through the streets and in a museum (where we are allowed to film).

I also did people that they were camera glasses and pointed out where the lens was. Many were surprised but didn’t care too much. In 2016, same year I got them. I was in Chicago and I did film a cop with someone they arrested and had cuffed to a bench. The cop glared at me when he caught me looking at him. He was entirely unaware I was filming him.

The only other case I heard of at that time of someone using camera glasses was some guy in Australia who was being racially abused by his neighbors (he was Indian I think) and had camera glasses on all the time to record his neighbors when they were being assholes to him so he can report them.

I gave those glasses away a long time ago. I wish I hadn’t. All the new shit is unacceptable with a forced cloud upload and easily hackable.

The last TV I had was a 37 inch I sold in 2020. I stopped watching TV in 2003. I have been terminally online since late 2000 and 2001.

He was never all right. Even when he was a kid people said that he had massive ego problems. When he was in high school playing poorly in sports people found the fact that he never admitted to losing or playing poorly to be intensely irritating.

I have had to rent cars since 2015. My license has probably been seen by 5000 breach sites by now.
