We already did this in the 1980s and it was called “Weird Science”.

Anybody else remember Google Glass, and how that project was abandoned after Bay Area beta testers kept getting mugged and bullied in public?

My dad knows people at google who worked on that thing, apparently it was abandoned because people would film with it in public bathrooms and similar privacy issues

Apple are bringing it back soon. They intend to release a VR headset followed by Apple Glass. The VR headset is likely only intended as a method of building an existing pool of apps for the real project they’re interested in with Glass.

I thought it was because people with the glasses were using them to perv on women, so it started getting banned in offices and other business settings.

What conversation are they having? Seems to me it would be a computer with a meat body.

Hooking an appliance to your forehead so you can engage in the most banal and superficial forms of conversation more fluidly is a bit of a self-own.

Ok, leaving the date part aside for a moment… What does this job interview they are talking about look like?

Me when the interviewer asks me to explain the process of making napalm step by step as though I were his grandmother who used to work at a munitions factory :squidward-nervous:

i’m willing to bet this is ableism.

if dudes wouldn’t use things like this or google glass to stalk, harass, and abuse women i could have an accessibility device that reminds me of peoples’ names and the last thing we talked about.

Notebook or notes app. Let me know if this wouldn’t work, but writing down someone’s name and what you talked about both helps retain the information, and if you still forget they know you did your best to recall it.

Unless you’re in a business meeting or a serious conversation, going off on a tangent and then finishing, “wait what were we talking about?” Or just switching to a new topic is fine. And asking for their name again as they leave is pretty normal.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
