Y'all this sound crazy, but the Bug A Salt is fucking awesome.

It's worth it if you can get a black Friday deal or something under 30$ because it's just a little salt when you shoot it and there's no guts on your wall, no dirty fly swatter, no chasing, no jumping, no reaching, and you feel like a sniper hitman.

Its not a toy. That shit hurts when you get hit lol

This reminds me of an NPR podcast from 5 or 6 years ago about the people who get paid by Facebook to moderate the worst of the worst. They had a former employee giving an interview about the manual review of images that were CP andrape related shit iirc. Terrible stuff

[-] GenesisJones@lemmy.world 23 points 7 months ago

Right but this is not an issue that's in the public consciousness yet. No one thinks to read the manual or go to the website and check on how their privacy is going to be invaded by a fuckin car.

This shit is infuriating.

No one is reporting this, ford certainly isn't putting it in their press material, and no one gets a copy of the manual to review before purchasing a vehicle.

No one tells you when you buy the car all of the shit you are agreeing to. This needs to be changed.

This car doesn't let you drive over 80mph. It reads speed limit signs and has a database apparently. The owners manual says it will provide that data to law enforcement.

This is insane. There needs to be awareness of this so people can, at the very least, know to ask before they buy. As it stands no one even knows this shit until they sign the papers and look at the owners manual.

Brick Immortar - does very neutral, safety oriented breakdowns of maritime disasters (mostly) I love his narration, he speaks with a ton of authority imo and I find all the procedures and rules of ships fascinating.

Animagrafs - modern marvels but shorter and on 1 topic. Extremely professional animations of big ass machines. He just did one on Big Boy steam locomotives and it was amazing to see the systems work.

The Squidd - does video essays on famous cars and their histories

Game makers tool kit - following his journey of learning game development

History of the entire universe - incredible free documentaries about the deepest and craziest topics about our universe and reality. I listen to them to sleep

I did a thing Backyard scientist William Osman ^science YouTubers, menaces

Marcus house - following along with space progress, specifically starship.

No clip - video game documentaries

People make games - interesting stories about gaming, very professional deep dive stuff (Roblox is the devil)

Regular Car Reviews - bizarre car reviews with a goofy narrator who makes a ton of literary references I think he used to be a teacher

Secret Base - sports stat nerds (watch their scoragami and worst NFL punt videos)

Technology connections - learn how genius some of our everyday inventions really are

Zack Freedman - ADHD tech maker 3d printing nerd

Meanwhile I went to school one day as a teen and had left the torrent up by accident seeding and 4 days later my isp called my parents saying that there was a huge fine coming my way if I didn't cut it out. The isp was super small so the company they were the end user and they were nice enough to give us a heads up. The notice said something like 25,000 on it.

I used to work for a big grain company for a short period of time. They expected people to go walk on that sometimes. I know of 2 deaths while I was there.

They already do cause less of an impact than ICE powered cars. Anyone can Google the information that shows that even though battery production is unclean, fossil fuel production over the life of a car is worse.

If the EV last for more than about 5 years, it was worth it.

It's criminal that no one has mentioned District 9 yet.

I would understand people ignoring it because of the fact that there is a space ship and they have tech, but the setting is ultimately about how the aliens completely need humanity's help. There is a certain pairity in the movie since they are refugees with some better technology.

But anyway, it has a tremendous story, great action, pulls on the heart strings, super imaginitive idea of aliens being stuck on earth.
