Oh yeah, track my vitals, you'll see I'm as healthy as a house cat and stay at home just as much as one

Pay no attention to the person leaving the house, the tracker shows I am clearly in there

We are very concerned that you have spent the last 18 hours motionless by a sunny window and you appear to have a fever that is consistently over 101 degrees.

I asked around the department if that is a legitimate thing and they just sort of stared at me and blinked, so carry on.

Isn't this the same clown car contingent that thought the Covid vaccine was a cover to inject a secret microchip into everyone so Bill Gates could track us?

Health insurance salivating as they look at car insurance companies charging higher rates for people that let monitoring devices track their driving and wondering how they can get in on the action.

I swear I heard about something like this a few years ago. My memory is way too vague on it to overpower Google's enshittified search at the moment but I think it was in one of the Virginias and involved teachers (maybe?) getting cheaper insurance premiums if they went to an approved gym.

Fr I know it's pointless but I like to do it anyway to vent

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Venting and getting a sympathetic word and seeing other people vent and agreeing with them is the closest thing we have to a consensus reality in the face of these know-nothing "health" advocates I swear to christ

The fuck is a "wearable"? A wearable what?

[-] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago

Like a smart watch that tracks your vitals but even the ones that just record your movement/steps aren't very accurate.

You want to make Americans healthier and you could either take on the agricultural industrial complex, surburbia, and the lack of third places, or you could just buy more devices and juice the stocks of some electronics manufacturer. I know what I'd pick

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure the easiest way to make people healthier is universal health care.

Literally the CHUD conspiracy about vaccines having tracking chips

No can do on giving you back your medicaid, best I can do is a smartwatch.

Government issued tracking devices woudl be cool in a government that wasn't evil.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

Zero chance it doesn't get abused at some point by some body lol. Barring star trek future, no thanks

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

I think even in star trek they don't just track people. All those episodes where someone sneaks off or gets kidnapped wouldn't work if their badge was an always-on tracking device

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Yeah it's consensual tracking, they turn it on or off. It's a beacon

watch them make every american buy a smartwatch out of their own pocket from whichever company paid trump the most money

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Trumpwatch. It checks your vitals but gives bonuses for burger.

if anybody needs to get low-jacked with a device that generates constant biometric data for society to study and develop a strategy to stop, it's this guy and his hitchhiker.

CGM are a godsend, it sucks they're fairly expensive. I was paying $85 a month for two meters. That's no insurance. Finger pricking is still the cheapest option. Maybe use federal authority to bring down prices? Nah, let's back a single company and pump them full of subsidies so venture capital can snatch them up and turn their product to shit.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It’s not much of a difference, but libre 3 has a thing on their site where if your insurance doesn’t cover it, they’ll give you a coupon that drops the price to $75 for 2 sensors. My wife and I did that for a while until I got different insurance that covers it, though it’s still $75/2 with insurance, I just don’t have to keep getting the coupon.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

But the data will say you’re full of shit lol

Ok...worm stuff aside, maybe he had some kind of mental breakdown or something and thinks he is the anti-christ? And this is some kind of "mark of the beast" thing he is trying to do? That's the only way I can make sense of this, that he thinks he is to bring about the apocalypse and has resigned himself to the role.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Someone please do the thing
