apparently two private schools in seattle are running facial recog and you have to smile for the doors to open

Found an article. Apparently the smile is for this: "After they registered, they’d be able to enter the school by smiling at a camera at the front gate. (Smiling tells the software that it’s looking at a live person and not, for instance, a photograph)."

Which makes a kind of sense, I suppose, although now I'm wondering if I could fool it with a video on a tablet of the person doing the smile.

But thinking back to how much I loving hated school, being forced to smile just to be permitted to enter... holy cow I would have resented that so much. I'm sure I would have experimented until I found some variation of a sneer that it would accept.

Or you could just learn how to give her an orgasm every time so she actually wants to gently caress you, rather than just feeling obligated to getting another chore done.

Lol who am I kidding they'd rather keep manipulating and guilt-tripping their spouses into sexual servitude. Fire up the computer! Get those ads fuckin with her mind!

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."

The current CEO of 7-Eleven is Joe DePinto, a West Point grad who got the job in 2005 and has spent his tenure slowly tightening the screw on franchisees, demanding business practices that return more profit to corporate HQ at the expense of the independent operators. As the franchisees have felt the sting, they've fought back, suing the company over DePinto's policies.

if you're ever having to defend your side by saying 'no, you see, it's not really a concentration camp..', you're probably rooting for the wrong side
and thinking that was a pretty succinct argument and a life principle that I might have to apply to my own country at some point in my life. I didn't think it would apply so near in the future, though.

I read a good number of books in grad school about Nazism and it really depresses me they're going to be rewritten sometime in the near future with relatively minor narrative changes to adjust for the US slide into racialized fascism

like if you stop and look at the academically accepted understanding of the Holocaust we are disturbingly allegorically adjacent to the early erection of camps and their corresponding increase in incarceration (proportionately we arrest more people), which was three years after poo poo like the Restoration of the Civil Service Act, which I bet the GOP will use as a template at some point

By now you have probably heard of influencers, that group of internet-famous people who have more than a million social media followers and can make big money by plugging various brands. And you may have even heard of microinfluencers, who do the same thing for a still sizable but somewhat smaller social media audience — from the tens to low hundreds of thousands.

Now get ready for the nanoinfluencers.

That is the term (“nanos” for short) used by companies to describe people who have as few as 1,000 followers and are willing to advertise products on social media.

[...]

“Everyone who’s on Instagram has that friend who is just really popular and is racking up ‘likes’ and comments and has great content,” said Ms. Karwowski, who defined nanoinfluencers as people with roughly 1,000 to 5,000 Instagram followers. “They’ve probably never worked with a brand before, but they’re just really good at social media.”

Companies are seeking out relative unknowns during a gold rush in advertising through popular social media personalities. But as influencers — like the 20-year-old fashion model Luka Sabbat, with his 1.4 million Instagram followers — have grown in popularity, they have started charging more. And with their success and online fame, they may be losing the homespun quality that once distinguished them from the crowd of celebrity endorsers.

“There is such a saturation at the top,” Ms. Karwowski said. “We’ve seen a real push to work with smaller and smaller influencers, because their engagement is so high and we have the technology to work with a lot more influencers now and track and measure what is and isn’t working.”
