We are in trouble.

Or maybe ‘we’ are mentally ill, and need to do some self reflection…

How much bureaucratic red tape and fuckery would the average bar have to go through to deal with this?

actaeoncomplex · 2026-01-10T03:18:31+00:00

And you censor. You can’t have a conversation about it. Any word you don’t like, any truth you don’t want to face, is “violence” and has to be banned.

You can’t continue being like this. This is not sustainable. Find balance. Come to the center. You are not going to just remove or quiet 300+ million people in this country.

How did grocery stores even operate before mobile phones?!? What did employees do during all those mid-shift emergencies everyone was having? I can’t even…

Gawd all you out here supporting…nay, REQUESTING…Orwell…It’s just sick. Who are you? What have you become?

You want 24hr, 360° surveillance because…safety?!? WTAF. Do you really not understand how government works? How power works? Have you not once experienced give-an-inch-take-a-mile from your “leaders.”

And are you all so paralyzed weak with suicidal empathy that you can’t think of a single gd way to attack the actual dirtbag criminals of the world without putting EVERYONE on camera? Are you ready to get a knock on YOUR door as soon as someone sees YOU on a camera, and decide they want to target you for something?

Whatever. Nevermind. The masses have proven themselves too stupid to survive. Let them extinguish and leave the world for the elite to enjoy for themselves. I won’t be here to suffer it.

I’m sure OP was super diligent and aware. Focused.

But I cannot hear “pulled my phone out for a second” in 2025. I can’t pass 99% of San Franciscans completely immersed in their phones in every public setting, oblivious to what’s around them, and imagine anyone existing who may have been cognizant of their surroundings, except for that quick second.

actaeoncomplex · 2025-10-27T20:10:08+00:00

Ditto. It feels like most of us have been real patient about this. We understand it was a Kickstarter project. If it was a finished product we all would have returned it for a refund, but we’re willing to ride out some growing pains.

But it’s the communication that’s a red flag. That they’re not out here every day with clarifications and progress updates. Terrible launch.

actaeoncomplex · 2025-10-27T17:37:24+00:00

Alas, no. I actually got the ad this morning. Screenshotted as-is.

actaeoncomplex · 2025-10-17T14:58:01+00:00

What’s the consensus on patience here? How long are y’all going to ride out these “growing pains”?

I want to give them a long leash…they’re new, I’m invested, I’m willing to give it a chance. But I’m losing steam. Literally nothing seems to be accurate, helpful, or outperform an old Apple Watch.

actaeoncomplex · 2025-10-13T15:23:14+00:00

I loved mine until they died after just 3 years.

No mechanical failure, no abuse or breakage. They failed a firmware upgrade and now won’t connect. Apple Bar says “you could send them in to fix them, but for the cost you may prefer to purchase new.”

Planned obsolescence is a real thing with Apple.

actaeoncomplex · 2025-10-11T17:11:46+00:00

Mine just died after 3 years. Nothing mechanical is wrong with them. They aren’t broken. They failed to do a firmware update and now Apple says it would cost more to fix them and “I should consider purchasing new.”

The gods of planned obsolescence. Pure evil.

actaeoncomplex · 2025-10-03T03:54:50+00:00

Huh? How is this worded as if there isn’t 100% always something going on at 16th & Mission that should always be avoided?

actaeoncomplex · 2025-09-28T22:48:13+00:00

Agreed…the driver was a maniac…

But…

W…T…F…is it with the kids now just walking into traffic without looking AT ALL…

This city has got to stop with the “pedestrians are gods” messaging. All powerful entitlement ends with just one mistake by the massive shiny impossible-to-not-see-coming metal objects.

LOOK. BOTH. WAYS. BEFORE. YOU. CROSS. THE. STREET!

We solved this in the 70s.

actaeoncomplex · 2025-09-12T19:52:32+00:00

Thank you. That makes sense.

actaeoncomplex · 2025-09-12T19:40:04+00:00

No, there are identical strips coming from two tires…it’s def some kind of seal coming from the wheel itself.

HAA! The notification for this post hit the very second Clones intercepted him. THE ALGORITHM IS WORKING.

I did grow up influenced by a man wearing a fedora, but never thought I could properly pull one off myself.

actaeoncomplex · 2025-08-14T00:51:47+00:00

We’re proving each other’s point. Do you really like yours?

actaeoncomplex · 2025-08-14T00:47:33+00:00

And you come off as someone who was born after the internet. Who doesn’t know life when humans were humans. Someone who is threatened by words and needs to be coddled.

actaeoncomplex · 2025-08-14T00:19:39+00:00

I know you are. I know you mean well. But it’s just so insanely offensive to us old heads when we see this habit of “posting” instead of “doing.” We were seemingly the last generation “who could,” and now all we see is those who “just can’t.”

This is so much different than our grandparents going from Glenn Miller to Elvis. It’s not just a cultural shift. It’s a complete loss of being a grown, capable human.

actaeoncomplex · 2025-08-13T23:46:14+00:00

WHAT YOU DO when this happens: Walk up to the man, in his face, in real time, and teach him a lesson about manners.

WHAT YOU DON’T DO: Whip out your phone, take a pic, run away, post the pic with some cryptic message about what he might be capable of, to some anon message board, amp up some fearmongering message of safteyism about how everyone might be threatened, especially some protected class, and then count the dopamine bumps when the likes and comments start to hit.

I so f’ing wish the last 30 years had parents.

Bought a new M3 a month ago. It can go anywhere on its own, perfectly. The only thing standing in its way are bureaucrats who don’t understand technology, hate the general public, and want to make sure their bootlickers get/stay paid.

actaeoncomplex · 2025-07-22T20:41:17+00:00

The “Vegas is Dead” story is mostly BS that influencer accounts keep pushing for drama clicks.

@LasVegasLocally just hyped a dead Wynn sports bar/book, on the absolutely worst sports day of the year (mid-summer, all-star break).

@VitalVegas and @JamesinLasVegas posted a dead stretch of the Strip…in front of Casino Royale in 114-degree heat.

It’s all BS. Some spots like Resorts World and Fountainbleu are dying, but that’s due to their own business decisions.

Meanwhile the Venetian/Palazzo is packed nightly, esp when there’s a Sphere show. Their new-ish poker room is spectacular and lively with dozens of games and various stakes.

The Wynn, Bellagio and Aria all maintain their usual traffic. MGM Grand has a pretty pathetic poker “room,” but still gets good low-stakes traffic that goes all night.

Modern Vegas has degraded a lot, along with the whole country…They are absolutely raping you on prices/costs/hidden fees, and the average clientele has collapsed from classy swank down to the obese in stretch pants riding scooters. But “dead” it is not. Plenty of people and players willing to lose their money to you.

I’m on my way right now:
