    @ai6yr @arclight I'm really not getting it. It's not even private... If at least you couldn't see inside maybe I could kind of understand, but with that glass anyone can just walk up and stare in.

    By the dull lighting on face thing they're advertising so gleefully I guess the only thing this is really good for is stuff like making video calls or something? Well, that definitely sounds like a techbro thing...

    (And why 2700K? Only one person thinks that's good for face lighting...)

    Techbro: "There are real, live people out there! TOO SCARY! MUST FIND PLACE TO HIDE! THE POORS! TOO MANY!"

      Away from your sterile metallic Skinner Box condo? Need coffee but can't bear the thought of "interacting" with other "people" who might have a "personality" and subject you to "conversation"? Obtain coffee from one of our emotionless robot baristas - just like Wire Mom used to make!

      @arclight it surely is terrible coffee, but airports are one of the places I will absolutely go to great lengths to not interact with any more people because I am already overwhelmed, exhausted, irritable, etc. and I'm trapped there. I need quiet, dark, alone time to recharge. airports are torture devices.

        Encounter a wild techbro in the airport? Don't worry - contact one of Austin Bergstrom Airport's Techbro Control Specialists who will bait one of our specially constructed techbro live traps with Claude tokens, capture, and harmlessly release the techbro at one of our server farms upstate

            Have US airports always been a concentrated dose of American dystopia or has it just been O'Hare and everything post-9/11? Somehow Security was not the most disturbing source of decay and horror. Or maybe it was and I'm just numb to it.

            So old I remember walking onto the tarmac to greet my dad's plane when he came home on work trips. They still had the roll up steps then.

                  @arclight The incel magazine isn't supposed to outright say that it's an incel magazine.

                    @arclight That is going on the list of the most horrible things that I have ever seen.

                      Other people are seeing this as a pecker, but I'm seeing it as a giant chomp on the penis!

                      Looks like it would involve screaming, and not from the bird

                        @RVLara23 @arclight Companies like these exploit group-think for everyone though. People as a whole are idiots for falling for it, but at the same time there is a lot to be said for how evil it is to use it in the first place...

                        I've reached the point I'm placing the blame about 50/50.
