@Lampontheapp @DiscussingFilm The company was fucked long before he got there mate.

@jrs4842 @KobeissiLetter First of all, learning to fish, hunt and grow food at all, let alone enough to sustain yourself, is absolutely difficult, don’t be a dope and pretend otherwise. And second, do you really think that’s logistically feasible for the bulk of the population? Are you 5?

@KobeissiLetter Eat salads, and quit coffee. Both are bad for you. learn to fish, hunt, and grow food. Just like the old days. Adjusting is not that difficult.

US coffee prices are surging at a record pace:
The average price of ground roast coffee is up to a record $9.46 per pound.
In February, coffee prices jumped +30.5% YoY, and have surged +127% since January 2020.
Over the same period, ground beef prices have risen +73% to $6.74 per pound, near an all-time high.
Furthermore, steak prices have soared +66% to a record $12.74 per pound.
Overall, the "food at home" category price level is up +31% while "food away from home" is up +36% since January 2020.
Food inflation remains a major issue.

@mdrn_cnservativ @stevemagness It rocks how brutally you fucked up that spelling lmfao

@stevemagness The 12% are probably the social justice warriors who love their ‘platform’ to indonctonante

@BasedAnglo3 @prettymadtree @johnarnold @MartinShkreli What's funny is that the person who asked that question is probably the most racist, misogynistic, and sexiest person you'll ever find.... but gambling on a basketball game is where they draw the line lol.

@MichaelM72660 @BasedAnglo3 @johnarnold @MartinShkreli I wish you the best brother, we all deserve love
English

@MichaelM72660 @BasedAnglo3 @johnarnold @MartinShkreli Well 1. It wasn’t funny, like it was just a bad joke and 2. I just think it’s weird to reply to a thread describing the very terrible things that gambling has done to people with a joke. Like are you incapable of just being a person
English

@johnarnold @MartinShkreli Hello you have reached the Gamblers Anonymous hotline: Have you tried winning?? If you are terrible at gambling then maybe you should try betting the opposite of what you are currently doing.

@MoneyIsClear What are you even talking about, there is no such meal you absolute birdbrain
English

The $2.99 McDonald's meal just told you everything about inflation. 3 fries. 1 nugget. 1 pickle. That's not a value menu. That's a poverty menu dressed up in marketing. When corporations shrink the product instead of raising the price — they're hoping you don't notice. You noticed. Now act accordingly. 💰

@MoneyIsClear Why would anyone care that you got 60 followers

@NMS_SpellChcek @NtGmblng_Invstn @varien @stanman42069 Why did you make this about race, what are you talking about
English

wifi signals detecting your movement through walls without cameras
keystroke cadence identifying you faster than a fingerprint
your phone's accelerometer logging your gait so precisely it knows which leg you favor
ultrasonic beacons in retail stores pairing your devices to your physical location
license plate readers logging 99% of urban driving routes within 24 hours
behavioral biometrics scoring how you hold your phone to decide if you're you
and these are just the ones with published white papers

@varien what does that mean

@SaucePieJones @MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine Do you think that your position on it might have anything to do with the aforementioned billions of dollars spent on anti-trans propaganda?
English

@prettymadtree @MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine Correct. I do not feel obliged to relay a personal story about why it’s meaningful to me. I followed the debate & saw that GC/TERFS make good points that go unanswered. TRAs make absurd claims & bad arguments. They lie frequently & rely more on social pressure than persuasion.
English

Graham Platner: “The anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to make sure we have this discussion and we don’t talk about raising his taxes. That’s why it exists. I think there are like two trans kids that compete in high school sports in Maine? There are 40K Mainers who are going to lose healthcare because of the lack of the ACA extension. One of those things seems very important and real to me. One of them seems like an invented culture war scare to keep people divided”
English

@SaucePieJones @MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine Also you didn’t answer why this is a meaningful issue for you
English

@SaucePieJones @MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine Is that more important to you than 40,000 people losing healthcare? Btw why do you care about high school sports? Do you have a child in high school?
English

@prettymadtree @MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine I don’t think it’s a trivial issue. The reason for keeping men out of women’s sports is clear: they have an unfair athletic advantage. There’s no reason whatsoever to segregate sports on the basis of “subjective sense of gender”.
English

@NtGmblng_Invstn @varien @stanman42069 Wow you want to unplug from civilization and go live on your own plot of land, fully self sufficient, just you and your family? Wow, you’re the only guy like that!
English

@varien @stanman42069 Humans advanced so much in the last century and yet I still yearn for this

English

@SaucePieJones @MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine Why don’t you side with the people who are fine with it for the same reason
English

@MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine If it's such a non-issue & makes no difference either way, why don't you & the Dems just side with the people who don't want men in women's sports? Then all the out of state Republican money wouldn't make a difference because the parties would be on the same page.

@Gravity1776 @HasanabiProd It’s so funny to call “wanting to bomb people” growth
English

@HasanabiProd People are allowed to grow and change opinions. If you never changed your mind you’d still believe in the tooth fairy.

JUST IN: Meta sold 7 million Ray-Ban smart glasses in 2025 alone.
Workers in Kenya are watching the footage.
Not metadata. Not anonymized clips. The actual videos. People undressing. People in bathrooms. People having sex. Bank cards. Medical documents.
The blurring is supposed to protect privacy. It fails constantly. The contractors see everything.
Here is the part that should stop you cold: You did not buy the glasses. You did not agree to the terms of service. You did not consent to anything. But if someone wearing Meta glasses walks into your bedroom, your bathroom, your doctor's office, your home, a contractor on the other side of the world may be watching you right now.
The person wearing the glasses consented. Everyone else in the room did not.
Meta's defense is that this is all disclosed in the privacy policy. They are technically correct. Buried in language so dense that 99% of users never read it. And even if they did, it would not matter, because the terms govern the wearer's data. Not yours. You are not a party to the contract. You are the product being annotated.
Millions of AI-enabled cameras walking around in public. Recording constantly. Uploading to servers. Reviewed by humans earning a few dollars an hour to label your most intimate moments so the algorithm gets smarter.
This is not a bug. This is the business model.
The EU is already asking questions. MEPs submitted formal inquiries to the Commission this week demanding answers on GDPR compliance. The problem is obvious: European data protection law requires consent from data subjects. Bystanders are data subjects. Bystanders never consented. The entire architecture violates the regulation by design.
Meta's response has been silence and a reference to terms of service that do not apply to the people actually being filmed.
Google Glass died because people called the wearers "Glassholes" and banned them from bars. Meta solved the social problem by making the glasses look normal. They did not solve the privacy problem. They hid it.
Seven million units sold in 2025. The installed base is accelerating. Every unit is a potential surveillance node operated by someone who may not understand what they are feeding into the system and reviewed by contractors who see everything the algorithm cannot process.
The question is not whether this becomes a scandal. The question is whether the scandal arrives before or after the glasses are on 50 million faces.
Watch the EU. If Brussels moves on GDPR enforcement, Meta faces a choice: disable human review in Europe and cripple the AI training pipeline, or accept fines that could reach billions. Neither outcome is priced into the stock.
The glasses are selling faster than ever.
The contractors keep watching.
And somewhere right now, someone you have never met is looking at footage of you that you never knew existed.

@_BlessedKingg_ @thekonyjen Well unless you get your legs blown off in a pointless conflict
English

@thekonyjen Hey, former Marine here. Best decision I ever made. It's truly a stepping stone. Especially when you're young and everyone around you is making the dumbest decisions of their lives and you're stacking money and skills that are gonna be useful for the rest of your life.

THIS is propaganda btw. Be able to recognize it when you see it.
