  • Eye contact is basic human communication of “I’m cool with you.” Don’t rely on it to express romantic interest. Avoiding eye contact can express a lot of things, most of them negative. Sure, you can express more with a look but it can come off creepy if you don’t have a rapport with that person.

    Make eye contact when talking to or listening to all people you like. That’s just basic social interaction. If you’re interested in someone romantically, tell them—ask them out.

    There’s no secret handshake or look. Talk to them.







  • Apple has over $100B in cash. They have patents, contracts, data centers, subscriptions, products, established market, consistent sales, etc. There would have to be a drastic change to the world for that to evaporate.

    Sure, some of the value is speculation on how they will do in the future but not nearly to the extent of Tesla’s valuation. Apple has ~4x the revenue of Tesla and ~2.5x the market cap.


  • A box of chocolates tells you precisely what you’re going to be getting.

    This is probably one of the weakest arguments against this movie—and there’s plenty to criticize. Labeling the chocolates was not always a common practice. It’s something mass produced chocolates started to do. There was a time people bought from a confectioner and there wouldn’t be labels. That’s the context of the line. You can criticize this line but the labeling isn’t the problem.


  • See, you just need to wear glasses that project something to foil the facial recognition. Of course, they’ll come up with something to jam your obfuscator but you can upgrade to full body EM cloaking. Of course, they’ll implement…

    It’s just going to be a constant escalation until rich people don’t go out in public anymore and poor people get regular back room body modifications.


  • I’d say so. I haven’t upgraded to Wipr 2, yet, but Wipr 1 is effective and simple. AdGuard has a free version that is good but, for whatever reason, involves a lot more settings changes. AdGuard has the advantage of letting you select elements and block them. Wipr doesn’t, don’t know if Wipr 2 has that.

    If you want free, try AdGuard or Firefox Focus.
