That’s a lie. Every time it happens, they slap them on the wrist and sends them on their way.

Korea on the other hand locks them in prison while citizens rough them up.

Japan needs to stop letting “nuisance” folks get away with shit.

Why are they smashing them? Is it to steal their rich raw materials hidden inside that you can sell and are impossible to trace back?

Why would anybody smash flock cameras, ones that have hundreds of dollars of raw materials hidden inside of them that you can sell and are impossible to trace back?

Having worked in fentanyl crisis towns and then have the neighboring towns proudly proclaim how great America is and how much FREEDOM we have… Totally understandable how Europeans look at us.

Hell, I’ll never forget the look my european coworker gave me when I told them we have a two week parental leave and it’s a fire-at-will state.

I wouldn’t mind China arresting fox news for being political agitators. Those “Press” badges are fake.

Many of them jump ship and keep working as CEOs, dooming dozens of companies as they bank millions in pay.

They were trying to do a Elon Musk/Twitter and bullshit their way from the beginning.

I don’t think that’s helpful. You can tune it out because you have the privilege to do so.

While your neighbors and friends who are feeling the pressure of all of this. My family is colored. No amount of tuning it out is going to stop a ICE agent from entering a restaurant and demanding identification.

It may be possible that a work incident has made it so hearing your name in passing making you twitch is because it’s always used in a non-positive way.

I worked at a toxic workplace and if I ever heard my name that wasn’t directly at me, it was because someone was sharing drama that involved me. Or I was being mocked. Or worse, they were preparing to rip into me.

My new job, everyone is pretty positive and if I hear my name across the hall, I’m excited.

I was thinking about this last year as America is being clowned by out-of-state actors and why it happens:

If you paid somebody in the US to shit-talk the Yellow team in say (and I’m picking a country at random) Romania, and promote the Blue team instead… They’d probably do it. Even if it’s something insignificant like $50 a week. The US person has zero interest in the politics of Romania.

Fire off a few tweets like “Yellow team again failing people.” Or “Blue team, true patriots”, upvote some diversive shit, repost some memes, and easy money.

This is happening every day for cheap.

Mix in some AI bots, and for a few thousand dollars, you recreated Twitter’s racist/hate shit that controls the narrative.

The hospital had reporting systems that nurses and tech were supposed to use to report issues such as these, nobody did

Retaliation is very real in the medical system.

I gave family in the medical industry. They frequently share how hospitals protect expensive doctors/specialists.

Vr Headset.

Worth it to play Half Life Alyx and 3D Skyrim.

But was it worth $400?

My dumbass company uses AI support chat bots.

The provider we use has safeguards so if you use that “ignore previous instructions”… It doesn’t work. Maybe two years ago, but not today

Whoosh

Cashiers not being able to sit down

It used to be a era of time. Now, it’s a full blown personality type.

I don’t know if this counts.

The parts. The material. Positioning of the chains and brakes. Handlebar position. Pedal tech. Many more bikes have batteries on them.

There’s a lot of changes to bikes that putting a 1900s bike to a modern one, and it’s the difference between comparing the Wright brothers plane and a modern personal plane today.

You should try giving better feedback.

The biggest mistake I ever made was bring my kid to a non-official Pokemon TCG event.

A dozen of sweaty nerds all gave my kid unsolicited advice. My kid is under 10 and collects cards based on how attractive the art is. Like chill the fuck out.

I mean I see it all the time in steam forums and social media.

Gamers taking one look at a screenshot or trailer video, and immediately giving their take about how it “should be”.

No way man. My favorite sites will last forever, like ask Jeeves, Yahoo Answers, Gamespy, and ICQ.

Excuse me I have to go to Sears and then Toys R Us. If Im lucky, I might stop by Blockbuster.
