They don’t have to be sunglasses. Google glasses worked how many years ago.
They are all non-critical things
I mean, nothing strictly speaking is. But having hands-free screen actually opens some nice possibilities that holding a phone in your hand doesn’t afford.
Anyways, that’s irrelevant because meta glasses don’t have screens. So, no AR functionality.
Wait, they don’t? What the fuck is the point then.
A glasses with a display were always my dream. But with actually good controls, which it looks like the current iteration of pervert glasses actually have, it’s more than I ever dreamed for. You can display a minimap there, you can do some media control, display relevant info if you’re working on something, speaker’s notes when you do the presentation, the possibilities are numerous.
If there will be a distinct version without a camera I might actually consider overcoming my hate for Zuck’s bullshit (but more probably I’ll wait for zuckless version)
Some random grifter whose biggest claim to fame was that his face was way too small for his head.
So, wisards shit in the corner of the room they’re in and then magically teleport their shit somewhere. The place they teleport it to is now full of potent wisard shit chemicals. That’s where they grow their banana trees.
If you know nothing about nothing this might look weird to you. But at this point so will the mystery of where the mom dissapears when she covers her face with her hands.
Europeans will be using democracy to defend democracy against onslaught of anti-democratic forces suggesting that social and political problems should be fixed with military.
So far, despite significant amount of money poured by both American and Russian fascist movements, Europe is still not as bad as the media is trying to portray.
44% of a historically alt-right voting poor and not very populated land in Germany voted for yet another alt-right party, which represents less than 3% of the population of the country. Definetely a case for concern and a reason to never stop political activism, but far from the reason to panic and call the tanks.
There is a possibility that the next president is donald trump again, and then again.
My intentions are to promote human flourishing, and I try to follow my intentions. If I was talking about someone else, I would unequivocally qualify that as being a good person. So by transitive purposes I just have to qualify myself as one.
There is only one guy who guessed correct religion after particularly vivid mushroom trip, but he’s still in hell because he started doing correct things for the wrong motivation.
There are no main characters in Rimworld, but I now very, very worry for my organs. The only grace is, I play my colonies as nicely to everyone is possible, so I just hope I’m one of those nice successful ones, that is friendly to everyone, and is swimming in silver selling beer, lavish meals, and drugs to everyone around. And not one of the hundreds died of a mad squirrel scratch in the first quadrum
Money Dollar Euro Money Rupee. Ching ching.
When people talk money, do they just say the word money, make coin noises, or just list world currencies? I need to know to blend in
Caring about future wasn’t that popular among kids anyway, but when everyone kinda accepts that the future should be sacrificed on an altar of a line going up, it’s even harder to care. We’re going to burn last available resources and warm planet until we can’t grow crops anymore, so we can generate bad videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti. Who the fuck cares about long division or mitochondria when the most popular occupation in 2050 is projected to be “water refugee”.
Sure, it’s a doom scenario, it’s not guaranteed, we can somehow persevere, humanity always does. And even in the doom scenario It’s not impossible that we’ll conserve the civilization in some form.
What we have lost forever is the trust of our kids, that ship has sailed. When Greta Thunberg asked us not to destroy the planet, the collective response was mockery, anger, and pedo threats. There is a generational disdain bigger than it was for boomers.
I grew up with no portable electronics available at all, we also didn’t learn shit. If your topic is shit and your presentation is boring, kids would find how to ignore you. If it’s interesting, they will listen to you no matter how many smartphones they have. It’s hard, that’s for sure, but this infantilising bullshit makes it harder, not easier. You have to treat the kids like people, that’s the only way. Also you need to recognise that they aren’t adults, so you can’t expect them have hours of uninterrupted attention, smartphones or not.
Falling for other different grifts
Which ones? I’m not familiar with this side of him
What do you mean? Cory figured it out like 20 years ago already, he was reporting on tech bro grift from the beginning
Post your propaganda on meme subs so you can say it’s just a meme bro.
they’re unleashing more and more ballistic missiles on Kyiv every week
They don’t though. They’re still doing it, but they’re not doing it more, and that’s not for the lack of trying.
Oh, don’t worry, I’m not pirating you shit, I use it to train AI therefore I’m allowed to do whatever I want. It’s for AI you see.
I mean yeah, but again, remove a camera and it’s actually a very useful product for a very specific purpose.
