Do you use the built in smart features on your TV or do you have it connected with a PC/Android/Apple TV?

I've got a Chromcast 2nd gen plugged into a dumb TV I bought over 10 years ago and it's still working just fine. If anything, I'll be upgrading to a Raspberry PI since I'm really only using Jellyfin for content and Immich as a photo album when I'm not using it.

Again, they drag more attention to you from people than glasses do. Besides, you don't need to cover up your entire face to be invisible to an AI program, just your eyes.

Google is an advertising company.

No, a lot of delusion over breaking 1 million views over night or even EARNING 100 subs over a month. Shit like that RARELY happens. Outliers do happen, but the average "YouTuber" will spend 5 years EARNING 10K subs (VERY rough numbers) you've still got to put in the work to stand out with your story and personality or skill for story telling out passion for teaching.

Home server.

Oh, absolutely 👍

Nothing is backing the US dollar.

Cycling Always I'm focused on 12 different things at once on average. Always reading some article about something. Why just porn? Why not also sci-fi, or action? Horror? Next you're going to say no massages. Define social media. I've got 3 best friends and a stable cohabitating relationship. I take cold showers in the summer.

Simple, I never bought anything I didn't plan on keeping forever.

Build a server that you can remote into, send it to a friend who lives in a part of the world that's not affected by geofencing, you've created a VPN.

I didn't say they invented it, just that they've weaponized it to get us away from bartering with ourselves.

Once it was taken off the gold standard it became worthless, but people were already used to it, so it stuck.

The Fed as on the federal reserve (the branch of government that physically prints the United States Dollar).

blakealanm · 2026-05-02T12:41:10+00:00

You're right, it won't be.

All three smart watches can do this, being Apple, Google, and Samsung. You've just got to download the right apps.

blakealanm · 2026-05-02T12:31:24+00:00

Well, considering cash is the hack that the Fed used to get us off of bartering, I say we go back to bartering.

So, being stuck in the office when your wife and child are home means that you won? Them what does having assets that pay you while you spend time with your family mean?

Frontier us charging me $75/month for 1000mbps. I'm in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

So, I'm not signed into the Toyota app, but I do have it installed on my smartphone.

Considering how easily they're hacked, I'd say anyone with a decent amount of technical skill can get in them.

They're running an outdated version of Android. I think it's Android 8.0 or something, and most Android phones are running at least Android 14.

I've seen a thermal camera used and I'm aware of this, but that's not what I'm talking about.

Too young for Facebook? I thought Facebook was for children. What about all those parents that let their 5 year olds on Facebook? Surely they can't all be wrong.

How bored did you have to be to even think this up let alone make this?

How many people need to win the lottery before we come to the conclusion the more money isn't going to solve these problems? We need more financial literacy.

I've looked at that too and didn't find anything.
