Wouldn’t men sleeping with their tops off, be the same as women sleeping with their tops off, tho?

It’s so very kind of you to imagine good will behind their motives. I am very sorry to inform you that is incorrect, they very much don’t want their clothes available in charities or even discounted, because it cheapens their brand overall. It’s malicious, as all capitalism, inherently, is. They don’t want “poor” people wearing their brands. They would rather take a loss, than sell the item at discount, they very much have infrastructure available to afford other avenues, they choose not to, because scarcity invokes a higher price on their product. Plus the status of high prices, keeps a ratio of higher price per product, which means a higher profit margin per product, the item probably costs them 5c to make, they sell it for hundreds, what they most want is to protect that margin, if their last season stock were available at half price, anywhere, people en masse would just buy last seasons stock. Destroying it, even though they make a massive loss by doing that, protects their future profits.

Likely just double sided tape. That would gather dust where exposed, (not stuck to wires, bit) though. As I found out from doing the same thing with a super long lamp cable, in my bathroom, where we only had a heatlamp, and that sucked in summer. But also the power point was in an awkward place, so I dangled a lamp from the ceiling, but after taking it down, and being too lazy to remove the tape, now it’s fly catching tape.

My grandson has taken multiple of my phones for a bath, they all said waterproof. Guess why I said multiple phones. Well, some he broke by smashing them.

Fun times!

Problem with the waterproof rating with phones is they heat up, or overheat, one day and bam, no more waterproofing. I definitely wouldn’t recommend pushing it.

On top of the suggestions to use baseball caps, medical face masks, big sunglasses or infrared blocking sunglasses, (while suggesting all the other anti surveillance stuff goes obsolete too quickly), I bet old school sweat bands would work a treat, added in the mix, too. You could pull them over your eye brows, even, or ears. Or headbands pulled down. If you just have to obscure enough of your face, with coverings, to reduce a match, as suggested.

Omfg, if you’re over 25, that’s when you start struggling to understand technology, because the alzheimers is starting to set in? Things are getting dumber, not smarter.

That tracks. And It’s kinda on brand, still. Skeezy af.

Remember before they were released and the first we heard of them, were reports on the guy training them or testing or whatever, having a psychotic break and freaking out saying it was sentient. It’s all been downhill from there, hey.

I hate “don’t want to label them” with a vengeance of a thousand suns. It says so many fkd up things in those few words.

I heard a take today that it’s a purposeful provocation, in an attempt to elicit the ability to use martial law, I assume to keep himself in power. He needs the people to revolt, with violence. I dunno what I think about it.

There was a lol! I wasn’t being serious! Why do I say things. I should just stop doing that.

I feel like that’s one of those things that, even if you could do it, you shouldn’t. I wasn’t really being serious, so much.

If you’re sure you want me to attempt to play mind reader, just for funsies, I suppose I could. My trauma is I had to grow up guessing what everyone was gunna do, because none of the adults were even a tiny bit safe, so I got sort of a little bit good at the guessing game, sort of. I’ve never tested it on internet strangers though.

That said, my dating history would completely oppose previous statements… So maybe I just think I’m a little bit good at something, but really I suck.

Woah. I love that explanation!

When I was younger I defined myself by the things I liked, and others similarly, you just start to see more depth and wisdom the more years you’re lucky enough to kick around, in this planet, I think. And then you start to see, mostly the stuff people like is just funneled coping mechanisms. I can now tell you what peoples traumas are, by what they like. (lol)

You are the entity that observes: Your thoughts, your feelings, your mental health and diagnosis’, your physical body, sensations, touch and the world.

Blew my mind to realise I am not my thoughts, I’m the entity that observes my thoughts. Because I feel like my thoughts. Yk. But I’m not!!

See but I think we’re both actually saying the same thing. The amount of factors that go into calories in vs calories out, essentially makes it unusable. Just looking at calories as a base whole product, not the individual piece of food and the nutrients it provides, is mad. By that rationale you could just live on oranges. They’re calories, or junk food. Calories.

It’s not calculable, how one individual body absorbs, processes, and then manufactures the essential nutrients it needs, from “calories”. It’s essentially saying how much food in vs how much food burning out. But that’s not how fat is turned from fat to energy consumption, by the human body. It has nothing about the essential needs of the body.

It’s a myth perpetuated by diet industry that only keeps you on the hamster wheel of weight loss and, for most people not genetically gifted, never really works. Or only works short term but then your body goes into survival mode, and stacks it all, and more, back on.

Here’s a an article that might help say things better than I am. https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2023/07/05/its-time-to-bust-the-calories-in-calories-out-weight-loss-myth.html

Yeah, exactly, calories in vs calories out is just another myth that feeds the diet industry’s bottom line. It’s not accurate. Like bmi used to be the big thing, but that’s not an accurate measurement system at all.

I had an absolute fuck waffle for ages, nobody told me about frozen shoulder. Although I didn’t go to an actual doctor, so
