The manliest sport.


Might perhaps be your father who otherwise gets mad at you for rest of the day, and you still get uncomfortable from whatever shit he says even though it objectively isn’t anything more than a bunch of crap.
You know, like when he notices you aren’t absolutely rolling with laughter:
(While full-force tapping back button on his phone) OK, you don’t have to pretend like you care
“I just…”
Leave me alone! You won’t even watch anything with me. Am I really that bad? I must be worse than Hitler. All I ever wanted was to have a family, but I guess I wanted too much. FUCK! What did I do to deserve this? I was growing up with a father who beat me and never cared about me. Perhaps I should have been like that, and then you would’ve liked me.
(Yelling at dog) Get away from me! You don’t have to pretend to like me either.


I am pretty sure I know the audio, but it was used in a video where the guy was dressed as a hot femboy.


…you may want to visit the ER.


I also sometimes piss without shitting myself.


Might be Bluetooth beacon tracking: https://www.mokosmart.com/bluetooth-proximity-marketing-ble-beacons/
Seems like these should typically be used by store apps, but who knows when other apps have like 37,876 trusted partners they share data with.


AliExpress has that too:



Yeah, it’s… interesting. Especially with donations.
Apple takes a 30% cut, then Google does so as well from the remainder.
Feeling generous? Congrats, more than a half goes to corporations.


Also to note are regional pricing differences. Let’s for example compare US and Ukraine pricing:
| Plan | United States of America | Ukraine (converted to USD) | Ukraine (UAH) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Student | $8.99 | ~$1.36 | ₴59 |
| Individual | $15.99 | ~$2.28 | ₴99 |
| Family | $26.99 | ~$3.43 | ₴149 |
Though I don’t know how much that would seem over there.
But anyway, I pay $1.99 for DNS (NextDNS), so $2.28 for streaming high quality video without ads? Sure, would seem fine.
I wonder how much cost difference there is on the Google side between the regions.


I thought that was just my father.
He also told me many times how that was their chewing gum.
And also the bottle of mercury they used to pour down a slide.
Oh, and also the tradition of melting lead on Christmas and pouring it into water, getting prediction of the future.


Almost all of the ads I see on the home page are of type “Hot ${GROUP} in your area.”


In 2021, when Amazon launched its first “just walk out” grocery store in the UK in Ealing, west London, this newspaper reported on the cutting-edge technologies that Amazon said made it all possible: facial-recognition cameras, sensors on the shelves and, of course, “artificial intelligence”.
An employee who worked on the technology said that actual humans – albeit distant and invisible ones, based in India – reviewed about 70% of sales made in the “cashier-less” shops as of mid-2022
UK AI company builder.ai has been tricking customers and investors for eight years – selling an advanced code-writing AI that, it turns out, is actually an Indian software farm employing 700 human developers.


I’ve already seen this one.
