They’d better not, for the safety of wearers. I can’t be the only one who remembers the way that people wearing the Google Glasses:

Google started selling a prototype of Google Glass to qualified “Glass Explorers” in the US on April 15, 2013, for a limited period for $1,500, before it became available to the public on May 15, 2014. It has an integrated 5 megapixel still/720p video camera. The headset received a great deal of criticism amid concerns that its use could violate existing privacy laws.

On January 15, 2015, Google announced that it would stop producing the Google Glass prototype.

The incident where an entire pub harangued and ejected someone for wearing a pair is a standout. People generally don’t want their private or public interactions and likenesses recorded or livesteamed by someone wearing a camera on their face, even though it’s less obtrusive than someone walking about with a camcorder pointing it at everyone/thing they see.

Aha! Thought that you could distract us all as well? Joke’s on you, I’m already… uh, what was I doing just now?

  *crowd chanting* "GUSTAVE! GUSTAVE! GUSTAVE! GUSTAVE! GUSTAVE! GUSTAVE!" 

“Gustave is a man-eating male Nile crocodile that roams the Ruzizi river and the northern shores of Lake Tanganyika in Burundi, Africa. Gustave is rumored to have killed as many as 200–300 people, though one more recent estimate states the true figure is probably 60 people or fewer. He has obtained a mythical status and is greatly feared by the people in the region.”

No joke, at home convalescing from a long illness. I was already seldom going out for any reason other than family functions or to see friends at their houses for the most part. The whole quarantine, both official and unofficial were a breeze for me personally despite the difficulty that it brought others, having already adapted for my own personal health requirements.

Honestly, though, I don’t know how I would have pulled it off without the 'net. Apparently the character George Jetson would have been born during the pandemic, which is lowkey kind of funny IMO, seeing as so many people adapted to talking with their bosses via tele-screen; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Jetson

Good Lord, you know that you’re a powerhouse of human vigour when even Montenegro takes notice and goes to the effort of granting you a war medal despite your enlistment in a foreign nation’s army.

The brains will help, but you still have my support all the same, for what it’s worth.

Trying to get shit done on the 'net with a 56K modem circa 1995 vs. trying to get shit done one the 'net but everything has been purposely turned into garbage that generates ad revenue even if you pay for it circa 2025.

No, not quite. No one benefits, and it’s not an inside joke. The analogy is that the gigantic bodybuilding nerd from Clockwork Orange is the outlier, and that the control is Alex. That’s it.

When I saw the original graph, I tried to think of any examples of mega-guidos that were also geniuses and remembered the scene from the movie with Dave Prowse in this role. It seemed to fit well, so I made the meme.

Yes, you might be surprised at how few meaningful results can be gleaned even when using exact titles in search queries. I’m not even talking about the ad results that appear at the top of the page now, even Google sometimes entirely fails to provide the desired results.

My bet is that it’s paywalled like a lot of academic studies. It’s likely out there, but best of luck to you nailing it down, I’ve been having a Hell of a time turning up worthwhile results with search engines for quite a while.

Not just an action movie star, he’s a smart cookie.

Unknown, but likely he’s the human form of Larry the Lobster with a PhD hanging on his wall.

“Try the wine.”

That blew me away as a kid, realizing that the guy voicing Vader wasn’t the one in the costume, and was in fact the same actor who played Thulsa Doom.

OK, fair point. There’s been more news coverage that confirms this since yesterday. They apparently Cat GPT’ed the figures and provided a baloney formula when pressed as to their rationale.

Keep it coming, I’m glad to get this kind of info both about Dolan and meritless censorship on Reddit.

Good catch. I’m going to have to re-watch TOS.

As much as people have been mentioning the complete absence of tariffs for Russia, how has no one mentioned the massive ones for Switzerland? WTF did they do to piss off 47?

There are blue Orions with antennae?
