but the thing is that this stuff is just factually wrong. eugenics doesnt work. race science isnt true. theyre morally wrong, yes, but theyre also factually incorrect, ideas that are deployed in service of monstrous ideology despite the fact that they simply arent true.

The bad guy in X-Men: First Class says "I find the Nazis detestable, but I must admit their methods are effective," and then he uses those methods to trigger Magneto's powers. Except those methods are not effective and it shouldn't have worked.

In Magic: the Gathering back in the 90s, they had Urza do "good guy" eugenics to combat Yawgmoth's evil eugenics; they portrayed it as morally wrong, Urza's a bad guy, but they also portrayed it as successful. But it literally doesn't make any sense at all and would never work.

There is no such thing as a best way to be. There is no such thing as "more intelligent" or "more physically fit" as broad categories; intelligence and fitness are huge clusters of unrelated traits. And most importantly, almost none of those traits are genetically heritable except over millions of years.

When I talk about this, people always bring up height, because it's one of the very few traits that is genetically determined and accurately measurable, and you could do eugenics to breed people to be taller-- and who cares? The ubermensch is not an average Joe who's 6' 6" and otherwise unimpressive. Height would not have defeated Yawgmoth, height would not let you create the world's most powerful mutant.

I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.

Here are some basic primers. If someone is wearing what look like Meta glasses, they usually have a small circular camera in the outer corners of the lenses, like the one on your phone.

I would also regularly check their own product pages so you're on top of what the models look like. They tend to have larger frames, but come in a variety of shapes and colors.

A new hobbyist developed app warns if people nearby may be wearing smart glasses, such as Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses, which stalkers and harassers have repeatedly used to film people without their knowledge or consent. The app scans for smart glasses’ distinctive Bluetooth signatures and sends a push alert if it detects a potential pair of glasses in the local area.

The American Foundation for the Blind has said that "The Ray-Ban Meta glasses are an accessibility tool only by coincidence. That makes them more affordable and, in many ways, unaware of the needs of users with reduced vision" although they do have seemingly positive views on Meta Glasses as a whole. (source 10). It also seems like their marketing push as accessibility devices began last year (source 11).

But to add even more into the nonsense, Meta is now toying around with adding a "limit" to the functionality of their glasses unless their users pay for more access (source 12). AND, as stated above, Meta has officially added facial recognition code in their glasses and only admitted it after being called out, which is basically the death of privacy as we know it (source 13, source 14, source 15). And oh look another lawsuit because of it (source 16) THAT THEY LOST (source 17)!

Long story short: I don't begrudge someone using them as a disability aid overall, but ultimately both their privacy and other people's privacy are being disregarded by Meta and that is not and should not be acceptable by any means.

I understand there is no ethical consumption under capitalism but there is a level of personal responsibility someone has to take when using them if they truly truly need them, such as opting out of sharing information, not filming strangers without permission, not posting footage of strangers online, opting out of facial recognition if possible, etc.

you are not less feminine for having body hair. if you're a woman, you're not less of a woman for having body hair. most adults have body hair regardless of biological sex, and certainly regardless of gender
