A dude with a permanent erection stole my name?

TIL Switzerland distributes weapons licenses.

So I’m dead?

Look, I may not have included a summary but I always put the title.

I knew from the cropped thumbnail it was Ryan George.

Sadly I have a video for this topic.

I still remember the days when Google required you know how to program in C to purchase one. No idea if they had a test.

They honestly lost me with the fitness platform they were developing with the hardware they tried launching before they got bought by Fitbit.

I’m too baked into my Apple Watch to use a Pebble today. I don’t have any of my old watches. I would not mind a circular Apple Watch. I loved the Pebble Round.

The name alone when I saw an ad made me cringe.

Ever considered getting into phallic object detection?

The original said the code is compiling.

Phil McGraw, I like to point out has a bad reputation and still got a prime time drama about his career on CBS called Bull.

There are been allegations that the work environment on the set of his talk show was toxic for those working on it. On top of that, there had been allegations that guest who were on certain types of medications would have it withheld before taping. Separate from this there was allegations that guest would often be given alcohol and illicit drugs before taping.

I’ve only watched like five minutes of this show ever, where a mother tried reaching out to her daughter that was engaged in sex work. She wanted to get her daughter to stop the sex work. Everything McGraw said was vile and victim blaming about the daughter’s lifestyle. It was utterly disgusting.

Honestly, I blame Ophra Winfrey for propping up that quack TV host.

I feel like as a 90s kid, someone old enough to remember and understand 9/11, anti-Muslim sentiment has been around a long time. That doesn’t surprise me regarding this.

EDIT: As a Filipino, I grew up hearing a particular flavor of anti-Muslim prejudice. A great grandmother would tell people that [insert censored comment], an outrageously offensive thing that was made up. A aunt would just generalize that certain parts of Philippines were not safe to travel due to Abu Sayyaf, an Islamist terror group.

I am Filipino. A cousin of min, who’s Jewish on his father’s side, decided to have a bat Mitzvah last year. Proud of the kid but I wonder if he has been exposed to actual hate speech behavior that was misdirected at the Jewish people because of the war.

Disliking the actions of the Israeli government is not the same as hating Jewish people. At some point people just started to agree with anything that wasn’t in favor of the Israeli state as being antisemitism. It is alarming how we’ve turned the actual hatred of Jewish people into an issue that isn’t about people actually hating them for their faith practices.

The oppressed have become the oppressors. That is not good.

I can’t recall the name but I recall a European movie (I saw it on cable television) where celebrities sell their skin to be grown in labs to be sold as meat for people to eat. The main character would go around finding sick celebrities, stealing their DNA and infecting themselves with the same illness.

The Matrix

So the universe is a trans allegory?
