If I had kids now, I wouldn’t let them touch Roblox. My ex had a kid that he didn’t pay enough attention to. That was constantly falling in with online predators in Roblox and Discord. I reported a predator on discord and they made me go through and flag every picture the kid sent, not the whole conversation. wtf Discord. Keeping predators away on Roblox was harder.

You’re right! I have a dog breed that is prone to deafness and he had a BAER hearing test. He has partial deafness in one ear, so he always tilts the other side up for hearing. It helps them hear better, and use the ear flaps to “trap” the sound.

Fandom is icky. A few years ago, my mom was getting scammed by some conspiracy guy from LinkedIn who offered her a “job.”

These dudes set up their own fandom wiki to try to make their bullshit seem real. I can’t remember the name of the people involved but one guy was claiming that he was owed 300 trillion dollars by the government. (Can’t remember the exact number but it was astronomically high. More money than exists kinda high)

In the 1980s, Bayer sold medication to Asia and Latin America that they knew was tainted with HIV. Thousands of people ended up testing positive for HIV/AIDS.

The same lab also made a mistake with polio vaccines and gave 40,000+ kids a version of polio. (However, that was in the 50s and Bayer bought Cutter Labs in the 70s)

When I was a kid, my aunt owned a small one. She’d bring it to my house where my dad and my uncle did repairs.

We were by no means a rich family. It was a two bedroom house with my parents and 3 kids.

I imagine the most expensive part of these are probably dock fees?

I have some of those bones! They came with filling but once they dogs couldn’t reach it, they became less interested. I’m gonna steal your idea! Thanks!

I remember during the 2016 election Trump would say things that has only ever been on RT. I would see one or two articles about it being odd that his talking point were word for word from RT, at times, but it never broke though to mainstream news and no one pushed the journalism further.

Once I order tampons on Amazon. They just put a shipping label directly on a single box.

I’m not embarrassed by stuff like that, but how weird.

You won’t regret it!

Futurama. I’ve seen it thousands of times. That’s not an exaggeration.

No, I’m not putting weight into it, but if we wanna talk election conspiracy, go big 😂

I suspect there are a lot of people who chased dollars with boot camps. They lack critical thinking skills, and don’t value curiosity and learning, which are pretty important to this field.

If they don’t know where to start and aren’t excited by figuring it out, they aren’t going to have a great time.

Elon’s kid keeps saying stuff that sounds like it was rigged too. I don’t wanna be a conspiracy theorist but I am intrigued at how some of this lines up.

The word for potato is my favorite. It’s so fancy and English just calls it a potato.

Nah, MoonPieTown is America’s wang.

Pennies should go away, but this isn’t the way to do it. Canada’s process was well thought out with lots of guidance and direction.

This is dumb and will cause lots of confusion.

Yeah I saw that it was more about fingerprinting and tracking, but that it was also sold used and sold AI training.

Also thanks, I didn’t realize Waymo was a part of Google.

I just got your post two days later. I am an idiot.

Yeah you’re probably right, but Google doesn’t have a self driving car right? I guess they are just selling it the data.
