Probably in the pocket of BIG JERKY.

If only some tech bros would fall in love with jerky and disrupt the 6000-year old art of jerking meat, one meatshot at a time.

A lot of tech bros are probably injerks

McAfee is a fun follow on Twitter.

His random rants, calling out his enemies and shilling for crypto is comedy gold.
Next to the images of his 'compound'. When he's just sitting around with heavily armed ex-cons all around him.

If I hired mercenaries I’d have a rule that they cannot wear silver tabs.

[Madrun Badrun]

I'd call my group the Silver Tabs and we'd wear the skin of our enemies. 

[kingv]

I work with a dude that only wears silver tabs but I give him a silver tab pass because he has no arms.

What will really blow your mind is he owns a car and drives it to work. Somehow. With no arms.

[kingv]

Silver tabs were the super baggy cut of Levi’s from the 90sz

I’m not sure if they still make them, actually.

But I saw that video with the girl who was popular a few years ago who did everything with her feet.

couldn't find her but this one beats her probably anyway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Cox

Jessica Cox (born in 1983 in Sierra Vista, Arizona to William and Inez Cox) is the world's first licensed armless pilot

"When she came up here driving a car," Traweek recalled, "I knew she'd have no problem flying a plane."

maybe literally:

as well as the first armless black-belt in the American Taekwondo Association.

[Nintex]

I have seen one of those armless people cars.
They're fitted with all sorts nifty gadgets that change the way the car handles.

A steering wheel that you can operate with your knees, pedals adjusted so they're closer to your feet etc.

The same place also had a car that was drivable without using your legs (shfiters on the steering wheel etc.) .

Those were BMW's they had for sale but you'd have to either get used to the weird controls or have them returned to their original state.

South Koreans lock themselves up to escape prison of daily life

Co-founder Noh Ji-Hyang said the mock prison was inspired by her husband, a prosecutor who often put in 100-hour work weeks.

“He said he would rather go into solitary confinement for a week to take a rest and feel better,” she said. “That was the beginning.”

“After a stay in the prison, people say, ‘This is not a prison, the real prison is where we return to,’” she said.

In a country where cost of living is high and the chances of getting a credit card are relatively low, this new form of e-commerce has opened up a world of possibilities for a whole lot of Chinese millennials. Because it’s 2018, though, there’s also a dark side to the system. Sure, you can get a 475 gram box of Oreos and pay it back in monthly instalments of 41 cents over three years, or go jetski-shopping with peanuts to your name. But first you might have to send some nudes.

For many of her clientele, who are almost exclusively white right-wing men because she finds herself unable “to be even fictionally cruel to any other type of man,” that fetish is serving a powerful woman. Marbury derives her pleasure comes from forcing those men to see the contradiction between their love of powerful women and their support for political parties that actively work to limit women’s rights and empowerment. In her book, Dining with Humpty Dumpty, she detailed conversations with a man she said exhibited the “disgusting contradiction” of claiming to be both “a ‘female supremacist’ and a Tory.’”

“A lot of the book is about how people use political issues as a sexual fantasy and how that’s problematic,” Marbury explained in an interview with Centre Pompadour. “In the book, I decide to think about the power dynamic that exists between a dominatrix and her submissive. If he wants to really make me happy, which he says he does, what could possibly make me more happy than turning him into a socialist?”

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ellievhall/celebrities-white-supremacists-video-app-cameo-anti-semitic

A group of white supremacist YouTubers are using a new app to pay celebrities to create videos where they make coded anti-Semitic statements — and then the YouTubers use those recordings to promote hatred on the internet.

The videos were made using Cameo, where users can pay to have celebrities record a personalized message for them. Cameo launched in April 2018, and has become another platform that the far-right has seized upon in an attempt to legitimize racist messages — this time with seeming celebrity endorsements.

Cameo and representatives for the celebrities told BuzzFeed News they were unaware the messages supported anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. The two alt-right leaders behind the campaign bragged about duping the celebrities in a livestream on Wednesday.

The group behind the videos refers to itself as the GDL, or Goyim Defense League, using the Hebrew word for a non-Jew. The group is apparently run by two YouTubers who go by “Handsome Truth” and “Sway Guevara.”

In one recent video, former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre — one of the NFL’s most legendary figures — addresses the group.

BuzzFeed News has viewed the videos but will not include them in this article, since the users who paid the celebrities have said in livestreams this week that they want the recordings to go viral.

“Brett Favre here with a shoutout to the Handsome Truth and the GDL boys,” Favre says in the shaky video. “You guys are patriots in my eyes. So keep waking them up and don’t let the small get you down. Keep fighting, too, and don’t ever forget the USS Liberty and the men and women who died on that day. God bless and take care.”

When someone books a Cameo, they submit specific instructions to the celebrity for what to include in the video. The celebrity then reviews the request and either accepts or rejects it. If they accept, the buyer will get a video within the next few days. A video from Brett Favre goes for $500.

...

Favre said that he is donating the $500 Cameo video fee to charities that combat hate and bigotry.

...

Comedian Andy Dick also made a personalized message for another member of the GDL, who goes by the name “Sway Guevara” on YouTube. According to the prices on Dick’s Cameo page, it cost $99.

...

Rapper Soulja Boy also appears to have inadvertently made a video for the anti-Semitic group.

“Shoutout to Handsome Truth and Sway at GDL,” he says in the video, before telling viewers to check out their new single “Name the Juice” on Soundcloud and to subscribe to Handsome Truth 14 on YouTube. “GDL for life, bitch.”

According to his Cameo page, Soulja Boy received $100 for the personalized message.

Cameo CEO Steven Galanis told BuzzFeed News on Friday that the app directly connects fan requests with the celebrity in question, eliminating intermediaries such as publicists or managers — and possible intervention — and making the messages more personal.

“It’s a shame that this group is taking away from a platform that is bringing so many people joy,” Galanis said.

THIS WASN'T EVEN AMAZON'S FIRST BEAR REPELLENT ACCIDENT

Two dozen Amazon warehouse employees in New Jersey were hospitalized Wednesday, one in critical condition, after a robot punctured a can of bear repellent, according to local reports.

Wednesday’s mishap demonstrates the many hazards that workers must contend with in Amazon’s sprawling warehouses, where almost every product imaginable may be in stock—including aerosol cans of irritating spray for warding off bears. This particular accident comes with an added dystopian layer, since it was caused by one of the robots Amazon hopes will replace many of its human warehouse workers in the near future.

But things get much stranger when you realize this isn’t the first time a can of bear repellent has exploded in an Amazon facility. In 2015, the fire department responded to an accident at an Amazon facility in Haslet, Texas, that was caused by a robot running over a can of none other than bear repellent, according to public records unearthed by Jessica Bruder for her book Nomadland, which chronicles the lives of the retail giant’s older, transient workforce.

The New Jersey incident wasn’t even the first bear repellent accident at an Amazon facility in 2018! One employee at an Amazon warehouse in Indiana told WIRED that a can ruptured in his facility earlier this year. The worker says that accident was caused by someone dropping the can, and they believe no injuries occurred. They think the way the product is packaged may be the issue; the employee adds that they, too, have dropped the repellent, though in their case it didn’t rupture. “It’s a clamshell that pops open when you pick it up,” the employee says. “What I can say is that our safety people are on it, and they are top-notch.”

Lighty, the Amazon spokesperson, confirmed in an email that an incident involving bear repellent did occur at the Indiana facility earlier this year. She also confirmed the 2015 accident in Texas. However, she added, "I do not have exact information on the root cause of either scenario, only that they were different."
