ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, β€œI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Tabletop RPGs would be a healthier space if people looked at it the way boardgamers do; there's a lot of games to choose from, you probably want to try a bunch to find out what kind of games you're into.

Instead, it follows a historical pattern at least going back to the 80s which still haunts us..

a compilation of my photos of maine, "A Place Without Bodies" volumes 1 and 2, to advertise it for my early spring sale. in the top left it says "Early spring/"FUCK! I got bills" sale!". in the middle, over a moody photo of a gas station, it says "Over 600 atmospheric photos of Maine in 2 volumes for $20! (That's 2/3rds off its normal price!)". and on the right, over a foggy photo of a bridge, it says "Licensed for commercial use! Use 'em in games, art, albums, more!"

It's definitely cribbing Wildermyth but the persistent house, inventory system, and bloodline make runs have more lasting effects.

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

17: There are, too, undoubtedly many masculine women whose masculine manners & outlook are equally free from actual homosexuality.

17n: Lovecraft was aware of the existence of lesbians, although he wrote little about them in his letters and seems to have understood even less.

My neighbor told me kuwait keep shooting down his F15s so I asked how many F15s he has and he said he just goes to the airbase and gets a new F15 afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding F15s to kuwait and then his daughter started crying.

my wife and I split calling tasks based on if the other party needs to be yelled at (her) or relentlessly given a slow-walked "country bumpkin who doesn't understand" routine (me).

I have one (1) scabrous patch on my left elbow from psoriatic arthritis. But it's not sudden. I do hope the prez gets it, though.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.
