It's been common parlance at least since Apple wanted to implement CSAM scanning of all iCloud saved images through a hashing technique. The backlash was so strong Apple now opposes CSAM scanning. This was two years ago-ish.

Like an episode of Alone, but without the planning, support and logistics.

Why not save money on office space by letting those employees to work from their home?

Because they can't control them at home.

I remember watching a black comedian many years ago and his bit started "Why don't white people use washcloths?", and it got me thinking. I started using washcloths and noticed I came away cleaner, soap on a hand doesn't cut the skin oils and dirt like soap and gentle abrasion can. I also noticed, because I'm hairy, that I get lots of ingrown hairs, especially on my legs. Switched to one of those "poofs" and now I vigorously scrub my hairy bits and no ingrown hairs. Exfoliating helps.

Use a washcloth and don't forget to brush your tongue, you filthy animal.

If you think Desantis has an edge on him I don't know where you're getting your news from, then.

Its bad even getting close to Cowshwitz. The air is kind of green as you get close to it on the 5, all of a sudden you remember it's there and try desperately to roll up windows or shut down the airflow in the car. In the end, it doesn't help.

Atheists here in the US can only dream of the religious/political agreement you enjoy. American Evangelicals have divorced themselves from objective reality.

I would do it, I mean the carpet sucks and the stock lighting is awful but the deck isn't bad, decent view of the slough. Basic amenities are serviceable. If I were a single guy and wanted to live in the area I'd consider it. The HOA fees are too much unless it comes with security.

Cheap food is no longer cheap, Mr. Giant Food Conglomerate CEO smart guy. Even fast food is the price of a sit down meal at a restaurant just three years ago. I've been cutting all inessential food purchases and leaning into staples. I'm a former chef, it's easy for me to plan cheap high-quality meals for my family but I imagine most people don't have the skillset to make it work, or the time, or enthusiasm.

"It can't be us" is the refrain of the willfully ignorant. No introspection whatsoever about food inflation and shrinkflation.

You can fuck aallll the way off with that condescending bullshit.

Once your face is scanned it is disseminated to several databases both Federal and State, which can be leaky. It can be passed around law enforcement circles, used on mesh camera networks to record movements in public (China is an example) and potentially used against you in ways you might not be aware of yet. The Chinese via tiktok and other sources such as hacking, are building dossiers on every American citizen they can get their hands on. The "it's easy and I've got nothing to hide" rationale is what they're banking on, makes their job really simple. Hell, people take fucking selfies and post them along with their name in the clear on the internet all time, those posts are scraped for security data and identity.

Edge of Europe bordering Africa and it's aspiring immigrants. Italy is often the first stop for immigrant boats, and on-shoring desperate people. All a right wing government has to do is point to those people and say how they are going to destroy everything you know. Rinse repeat, voila fascism.
