Seconding that. Slow phase is the way - as the old shit breaks, replace it with metric. Not just for cost, but to ease folks into it.

Workers at TJ Maxx and Marshalls are wearing police-like body cameras. Here’s how it’s going (www.cnn.com)

Retail chains like TJX, the parent company of TJ Maxx and Marshalls, are equipping some store employees with body cameras to deter shoplifting and improve safety. This is part of a growing trend in the retail industry, as stores respond to an increase in organized retail theft and violence against workers. However, some...

I have a proposal for the next iteration of Tik Tok challenges, or whatever medium we’re using to flaunt our bad decisions now-a-days: steal the cameras right off the employees.

I can’t afford an EV, but if I was in the market for one, my search would start with something like “anything but Tesla”.

Can’t imagine why they’re struggling, lol.

“law and order” is just dog whistle for using cops to harass outgroups.

Don’t ever ever forget that the cruelty is the point. They don’t give a fuck about the law.

Naw. We’ll never get there. The idiots in Idiocracy were aware of their own stupidity, and the second they find someone smarter than everyone else, the people in power immediately step down to let him tackle their most pressing issues.

The idiots IRL think they’re geniuses, and when the ones in power run into someone smarter than themselves, they run a smear campaign and/or incite violence against that person.

The future we’re falling into is much darker than the one depicted in Idiocracy.

Oh no!

Is the pole okay??

Anyone have luck with a hair growth *inhibitor*? Especially my fellow gentledudes who could be mistaken for sasquatch after skipping a day of shaving.

I’ve heard of things like Nair that make it fall out… if that was a one-and-done solution I’d be all for it, but I’m hoping for something that slows or stops it from growing....

Yeah it got to about a full foot long - I was on track to look like Gandalf, but it was just as itchy at 12 months as it was at two weeks, and I spent WAY too much money on conditioners, beard oil, mustache wax, etc.

My hair grows thick and fast, but the hair itself is brittle - I’d press on my beard and I could hear faint little clicks from hairs breaking, so there was always a layer underneath that was perma-new-beard length.

Looked good though - I did get lots of compliments lol!

Veteran here. Donald Trump fucking hates ‘the troops’. The number of active duty and prior service who still (or ever) support that anti-American shit stain blows my mind.

Here’s some light reading - this list is WAY outdated at this point, so feel free to contribute some more links in the comments. These are examples of things he’s done specifically to attack the US military / veterans:

This apology is empty if it doesn’t contain assurances that he won’t post dumb shit again.

He’s done his best to echo Hitler thus far. C’mon Donny, let’s see that closing act.

Satire sites come close to reality sometimes, but this shit is just straight up happening.

Like, there’s ‘eating the onion’ but these dudes planted an onion and somehow managed to grow an apple.

Edit - actually I think I owe both Heath Ledger and the fictional character he was playing an apology now… feels dirty.

They actually do that all the time trying to cover for Agent Orange. “He was just joking.”

Why Lucasfilm decided the High Republic is the future of Star Wars (www.polygon.com)

StarStar Wars doesn’t really have a future right now. The franchise itself does — it will keep getting new entries forever if Disney has anything to say about — but the story can’t escape the Skywalkers or imagine a future beyond the franchise’s most-featured family. In fact, most of the recent TV spinoffs, like The...

Not just the Palpatine/Skywalker story, but the Jedi and Sith / light side vs dark side as a whole are all a dusty crater that used to be the site of a beaten, dead horse.

Space wizards and laser swords have been WAAAAY overdone.

I fucking loved Rogue One and Andor, in part because they did such a good job of showcasing other elements of the Star Wars universe in a way that isn’t the same tired good guy vs bad guy schtick. In both productions, we see both the dirty side of the Republic and the albeit hyperauthoritarian but not evil side of the Empire.

The Acolyte is back to space wizards… the little I’ve read about it sounds like kind of a space CSI type show, and honestly I can see the potential in that so long as it’s not too heavy on the same tropes they keep trying to redo.

I’d really like to see more stuff that showcases members of the empire as being totally sold on their cause. Dedra Meero and Syril Karn are fucking fantastic examples - they weren’t strong-armed into submission by the Empire, they were completely indoctrinated and served with pride and patriotism: from their perspective, they’re believably the ‘good guys’ doing their best to fight the ‘dirty Rebel terrorists’.

We see a touch of this in EA’s SW Battlefront II with Iden Versio and her squad: basically special ops Storm Troopers doing their job professionally and with camaraderie amongst each other. The scene with the death star exploding, unexpectedly for the squad on the planet below, was great: they just watched all their friends get obliterated before their eyes, and they go through a quick transition from speechless to “our friends are all dead” to “oh fuck we gotta MOVE or we’re dead too!”. Again, their perspective is believably not evil - they’re serving what they genuinely feel are the ‘good guys’. Then the switch to the light side arch kicks in and we’re back to old SW tropes, but the first hour or so is pretty solid!

Something like that adapted as a TV series or movie has a lot of potential imo. Showcase Storm Troopers as a legit military force and not just a bunch of bumbling idiots who can’t shoot straight. Pull inspiration from things like Jarhead, Band of Brothers or even fucking MASH lol.

There’s so much more to SW than space wizards and light v dark!

Seeing how surprised he looked in the original video, that’s exactly what I thought happened - like somehow the info that his license was suspended never got to him, and the whole zoom thing was just him reacting to learning that, on camera, before a judge.

…I was about as far off as it gets on this one, lol
