Are you responding to something specific from this article? I feel like we might have read completely different articles.

Low-T isn’t even a real problem worth testing for like this. I’m not against testing for it when medically helpful, but the very public nature of this announcement sounds more like an attempt at signalling pro-masculine virtue rather than to tackle a real problem.

This nonsense is antithetical to a healthy military. Republicans always make the very self-destructive choice of using the military as a testing ground for their weird ideas, in a way that disincentivises employment with it.

When they wanted to purge trans people, they started with the military, because it was the biggest thing they had any control over. Lots of talented people left for the private sector with damage to morale as well. Now they’re projecting their male fragility delusions onto the military in hopes that they can become more masculine and therefore “strong”.

None of this does anything to make the military better at what it does. It’s like Hegseth looked at UFC fighters (some of the most useless dumbasses in existence) and decided they were even stronger than our troops. It’s like the military has low confidence in its sexuality, and is overcompensating. It’s a bizarre look.

So you’re just going to parrot Elon Musk’s public statement about why he doesn’t need permission? Get outta here!

He has more than 2x as many turbines than is allowed for a temporary install. The article makes it abundantly clear that these things are illegal.

Musk doesn’t have permission to do this, no matter what excuse he gives.

To be fair, Oakleys have long be associated with toxic men, so this was on brand for them.

Look, I actually want smart glasses, but there is absolutely no reason for there to be cameras in them.

Just give me a HUD so I can follow transit directions or something. I’m not trying to take creepshots.

What really frustrates me is that governments and big business have normalized surveillance everywhere, and now big business is basically selling wearable spyware, and this is all quite egregious.

But, one of the biggest ways to combat this is with “sousveillance”, or the surveillance of oneself. This has proven to be quite effective for motorists who own dashcams, and could be useful other places as well. But AI-peddling billionaires have ruined the reputation of that kind of thing entirely to the point where even open source variants of this tech will be rejected by the public.

So businesses, the government, and the police have the right, and in many cases the obligation to record your every move in public, but you aren’t allowed to record your own surroundings in return.

I don’t even think this is selfish. It’s only selfish to put yourself first when you have kids who depend on you. People choose the responsibilities they take on in life, and you don’t owe the world anything here. If you don’t have kids, you’re able to do more for yourself, and anyone who calls you selfish for it may actually be a bit jealous, in which case they should reassess their own parental priorities.

Yeah, and if you want the boycott to stop, petition your government, because they’re the reason Canadians are boycotting American goods to begin with!

Yes, there’s one less fascist in the world, and the world is a better place because of it. But I am not celebratory about it because of the rules. If anyone asks, I wasn’t celebrating. I do not have a playlist already lined up specifically for these events.

Yeah, I sit when I pee.

Even then, those slavers would still hate the MAGA movement.

I know that most people describe these hallucinations as unpleasant, but I do kinda want to know. I wanna meet those little guys.

$3M for 1,300sqft (120m²)…

They all say that.

Weird Al is a creative. Embracing AI at all is the wrong way. There is no right way to offload your humanity to an algorithm.

So your argument is that unless a majority of Americans own guns, you’re not even allowed to correlate America with guns at all? What a dumb argument.

Nobody ever said that the majority of Americans own guns, they said that guns seemed like a more American solution than 1W+ lasers that could easily fry a camera from a distance.

Unless you have the numbers to suggest that more people have those kinds of lasers than the 100M+ people who have guns, then your point is meaningless.

At the end of the day this was an unserious suggestion to fire guns at utility poles made in jest towards a country with constitutionally enshrined gun rights and an unhealthy gun culture. Why be this uselessly pedantic about gun ownership statistics that nobody even mentioned or challenged?

Imagine launching that scale of infrastructure, loaded full of Nvidia chips that’ll be outdated in like 2 years.

Buddy, I live here and I have no idea what you’re talking about. If you’re telling the truth, I send me a link, because $35 for unlimited mobile data is a steal.

I remember 😳
