Meta glasses without camera

So just normal glasses?

Domino’s has been doing it for years on Reddit, for example. Lots of “goofy” posts like the Domino’s driver dancing on a customers porch because they asked him to through their door-bell camera. Dumb stuff like that.

To say nothing about all the brand discussion about Marvels latest projects on their. 100% Disney is paying for an encouraging that pseudo-advertising behavior.

Jack Handy, a writer from SNL is the actual author. But these days the voice I hear in my mind when I read it is of Gul Dukat and it fits well.

They use to make wax coated paper cups which was a step better. Also used to wrap candy in paper instead of plastic sleeves. Oh and all soda came in glass.

Reddit is 80%+ bots so I don’t expect those accounts to shift platforms. But I do imagine some former reddit users will trickle over as it continues to alienate its fanbase with stupid choices like getting rid of old reddit.

Do we call the hybrid abomination Jamlian or Gillames?

I’m not wasting time sourcing a half dozen research papers on cursive handwriting. Sorry. Read up on the topic yourself instead of knee-jerk hating something you never practiced enough to get good at. Like I said, I was a shitty cursive writer in highschool and years later when I began practicing my cursive I got better and began enjoying it. It is useful. It’s a great excuse to not use your phone (spybot) for everything like making a grocery list. These are just facts.

All knowledge, even “basic” knowledge, is learned. No one was born with the ability to write cursive or operate a manual transmission. Manual transmission drivers can even spot a newbie on the road when they pop the clutch and stall out. We all learned these skills.

The real issue in modern society is that we aren’t effectively teaching the newer generations these skills, whichever ones our society considers basic. Thats a problem far more complex than this post can really cover.

But I don’t think it’s too much to ask students to have way less screen time (no phones in school and less reliance on laptops/tablets for assignments and lessons.) I’d also go so far as to suggest schools do away with sports if they are unable to meet their academic mandates (school is for teaching academics, sports are a “pass-time” because they were activities we did with the free time we had. If you aren’t accomplishing the goals of your institution your institution doesn’t deserve the reward.)

Its well studied and in fact has many benefits. You’re just mad your cursive looked like shit and the teacher called you up to her desk in frustration as she tried to decipher an s from a r on your work.

Cursive writing helps improve brain development, memory retention, and fine motor skills.

Brain and Cognitive Growth

Stronger neural connections: Writing in cursive engages both sides of the brain, unlike typing or standard print.

Better memory: The continuous motion of linking letters helps students remember words and grasp new concepts.

Aids learning challenges: The fluid style helps students who deal with dyslexia or dysgraphia by treating each word as a single connected unit.

Motor Skills and Writing Ease

Finer hand control: Shaping connected letters builds hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity.

Less hand fatigue: Smooth, flowing lines reduce the stop-and-start stress common in regular print writing.

Fewer letter reversals: Connected motion stops young children from confusing similar letters like “b” and “d”.

Practical Uses

Reading history: Knowing cursive allows people to read old family letters, journals, and major historical papers.

Personal signatures: It gives individuals a reliable way to sign official forms, checks, and legal documents.

Fair argument. Just wanted to point out that cursive has actual academic benefits. For one thing writing and drawing use both halves of the brain and since cursive is a form of drawing it engages both sides better than writing alone would. The information has a better chance of being retained that way.

Taking notes by hand also improves the odds of the information being retained with the added benefit of having a hardcopy to look back on if you forget. Like a grocery list. Taking notes is labor intensive so cursive was developed as a way to quickly write. Thats the whole point of it.

Luckily some schools are bringing back paper and pencil and teaching cursive because of the unmitigated disaster digital-only schooling has proven itself to be.

Edit Added some of the documented benefits of cursive handwriting since so many people are calling me out. Yes, cursive is good for you. Practice it, take time and improve the letters you write sloppily and you’ll learn to love it. I know, I was once like you and had to work to improve my cursive and now I love it.

This is a nothing burger with Fritessaus (a creamy mayo like sauce with mustard that is a Dutch condiment.)

They didn’t even move most of the gold. They sold their US holdings and bought UK holdings. And the reason probably has more to do with the Euro’s rearming for potential war with Russia than anything else. As much as I don’t like the orange madman this isn’t like the tariff situation with Canada.

And “going Dutch” is a term for a reason.

If we shutdown AI there’d also be a massive hiring spree and wages would probably tick up a bit to compensate. AI is just the latest scam to suppress workers and wages. They want perpetual suffering for us and infinite gains for themselves.
