Man, idk. If I buy a foreign car, say a Hyundai Ionique (the new sexy one) how do I know it’s manufactured to other international standards and not specifically American standards?

- Comment on Revealed: The shocking far-right agenda behind the surveillance tech used by ICE and the FBI. 6 days ago:
That’s part of the reason. But it now gives me more ideas. Way more.
Jam the IR. IR emitters can be pretty damn easy to hide. Have them embedded in badges for people. Have IR reflecting signs. Flood the protest with IR so even people unaware of it are protected.

Hmmm.
Facial recognition technology is known to be unreliable, and incorrectly match faces. But that’s only a problem if it can detect a face. So your medical facemask is a problem.
But the real problem is the eyes and nose. Ears are easy enough to cover.
New style of sunglasses. Ear to ear 3.5" reflective darkened UV protection polycarbonate. That’s a big ass chunk of face it can’t detect anymore.

How do you do that on approach?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I respect the mindset but in practice I’m far too paranoid about getting the cops called on me for indecent exposure.
I know the law is blah blah blah expectation of privacy in a home, but you tell me Karen won’t glimpse me playing beat saber fully dressed in my birthday suit and immediately call the cops tell them the neighbor in basement is flashing himself in his home to her and the neighbor kids coming by.
If I could remember to always check my blinds, maybe I would. Well. Not when my son is around, cause I remember that as a kid and it was more like “uuuuuughhhhh whyyy?”
- Comment on This poor llama is dealing with a lot lately 1 week ago:
All I know is that there is a switch that you throw and the llama gets “stabbed in the butt” repeatedly.
It took every ounce of willpower not to tear up from laughter when my kid showed it to me.
It was supposed to push the llama.

- Comment on China plans world’s first fusion-fission power plant 1 week ago:
I meant that we use neutron breeders to turn certain fuel rod waste into fissile plutonium I think.
The difference with the Chinese invention is that you don’t need to transport the waste to a separate breeder.

Wait wait wait wait.
Don’t we already do this? Just right now we don’t do it in the same reactor?
- Comment on With the current state of the news, April's fools aren't fun anymore because they can't be distinguished as easily as before 1 week ago:
Being ASD definitely makes it harder to enjoy April Fools pranks that are harmless and clever.
My ASD friends and family will frequently perceive the omission of information as an offensive lie, when the reality is us not on the spectrum didn’t consider it information worth sharing. Extend this to April Fools Day jokes, which should be intentional, harmless, clever pranks, and they just can’t.
Really good ones stick in my mind forever. Guild Wars once turned all the players into stick figures. I still laugh at that. Prior to enshitification Reddit had some great ones, like Orange Red vs Periwinkle. RuneScape always released upcoming features at the beginning of the month, and April Fools Day was always a fake one that sounded almost believable. I had friends swap clothes and classes for an entire day in college. I had a physics professor teach biology to each of his classes - a different lecture in each period. I had two friends announce they were ending their friendship on Facebook but intended to remain roommates, and continue to hang out with the rest of us.
It’s a social norm. Just like how sarcasm is difficult for some ASD to pick up. But, a lot of us non-ASD do need to choose our audience more carefully. I don’t play pranks on my family and those friends. I also refrain from sarcasm and exaggerating too.

No you wanna know how fucked up a human can get:
Frank Herbert wrote an entire series of novels about a guy who put his finger in a box and was told “An animal caught in a trap will gnaw its leg off to survive.” Then the dude goes on to cause 66 billion deaths and have a son that lives for 7500 years as a giant worm/human hybrid
