Most people know this recent history, but in case you missed it:

I like being able to check how busy a place is, but not like this. Simple head count or an average wait time is good. Using web cams is creepy overkill. Typical tech bro invasive shit.
If Biden gets re-elected, and behind the scenes it’s really Kamala Harris and/or Jill Biden in charge… I’m OK with that. Trump will accelerate all the bad things. From climate change to hollowing out the working class to kissing Putin’s ass and worse.
I try to remember that we’re voting for an entire administration and presidential appointments, an apparatus much larger than one old man. It’s cold comfort, but it’s something.
As I’m watching it, Mozart’s Requiem in D minor is playing in my head.
I had a buddy in the UK I chatted with on this thing in the early days. We thought we were so cool using it. We were not.
Researchers will be studying Trump and his followers for decades to come. A gold mine of data to help them better understand the mechanisms of authoritarian populism and cognitive dissonance.
Yup. They violate HIPAA all the time, too. Rules for thee, not for me.
Oh cool, Cunningham’s Law in action.
Here’s an updated way to bypass it. This Youtuber is a little cheerful-cheesy, but the info is good.
That’s not what we’re talking about and you know it. False narrative. The article specifically mentions violence and bullying. If you don’t know that fat people also get viciously bullied on top of the “concerned about your health” from loved ones, you are the one who is isolated from reality.
Sure, but that doesn’t address harassment and bullying. If you think they just “need a thicker skin” you haven’t been bullied in any meaningful way by a large group of hostile people.
Too many of them think protecting these folks from bullying and harassment on one beach for one day is some kind of threat to civilization. Typical moral panic.
Well said, and thank you. I agree that shaming doesn’t work. Fat people have the unfortunate disadvantage that their personal problem is so visible to others. The social dynamics would radically change if other types of problems were equally visible. Say you have a gambling problem and your skin turns green, or you cheated on your spouse and you grow a third eye on your forehead. Things like that. People love to judge and not be judged.
Yup. They just want a single day to enjoy the beach and feel safe and not be judged.
The internet loses its damned mind
Reddit wisdom:
“This”
“Bacon”
“OK, boomer”

I wonder if many/most of these will get vandalized, or if public school kids are so checked out and apathetic they’ll simply be ignored like they ignore the teacher, the textbooks, and pretty much everything but their phones.
Whatever happens, I don’t think it’s going to put the ass-kissing “fear of god” into any of them. Waste of tax dollars.
Of course the real point is to “own the libs” and anger atheists. Because Republicans don’t really accomplish anything else.
Well said. I think part of it is, he really knows how to tap into some populist things. I mean, who doesn’t want more jobs? And so on.
I am stuck with Windows 10 & 11 at work, on multiple various machines. Also some versions of Windows Server.
It honestly feels hostile towards the user now. For myriad reasons. It’s a constant battle for me to turn pointless crap off that it keeps turning back on with the next big update.
Payback wasn’t the point, I was just providing some context. John Deere sucks for multiple reasons.
