Put the doll down fella

...but not too far!
The government's job is to regulate sex toys so that all insertables have a flared end. MAGA wants to end all sex toy regulation. We should definitely protest this, and wave our dildos proudly.

Guess we’ll cut food stamps but tell people who can afford to to get a watch
Let them wear watches.

Thing is putting the horrific privacy concerns aside it’s not like it’s a bad idea from a health perspective. Everybody being simply more aware of the things their body is doing is immensely helpful on a societal scale.
Problem is there aren’t any devices that are local only or otherwise truly private. Apple stores your data locally on your phone which is good, but there’s no guarantee it’ll always be that way.
Pass a law that protects wearable health data under HIPAA and I’d consider it.

Ok RFK. Let's see you and all of Trump's squad do it first, and make sure it's public in realtime. I'd love to see timestamps each and every time he reads AOC tweets.

Years ago I purchased a Fossil Explorist Q wearable smartwatch. The first software update, about a month after I bought it, turned the device from a functional smartwatch into a brick that was so slow it was nearly nonfunctional.
The device was not powerful enough to run all the spyware they tried to pack into that update, turning it into an on wrist heater, occasionally getting Hot enough to burn me.
I've never seen a device so thoroughly destroyed by enshittification so quickly. That's experience turned me off of wearables forever. Maybe I'll make my own someday. Maybe I'll get a Pebble now that they're back-ish. I'll never get anything with wearOS on it again. Hell after the last year I might never get something with Android/iOS again either.

16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.Huh. No uproar from the people who believe in this shit? Weird.

Go on...
Just yours though. All of them.

I thought there were devices like this you could buy as a kit and build yourself that were local and private.

Not that I can easily find. Especially one that can be bought off the shelf by the average consumer.
The competition in the wearable space has narrowed in general. If you know of any it’d be really helpful to share, I know I’d be interested.

I chose to stop wearing a watch more than 20 years ago. I thought about getting one for the health benefits five years ago, but concluded that I don't want to have a watch nor cover an awesome tattoo. As a friend once wrote, "wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time."
Yeah, I don't even remember the last time I wore a watch. No reason now that everything has a clock built in.
-
My watch runs for years from a coin cell. There's no way that I'm replacing it with an internet connected spy device that constantly needs to be charged.
Mines an automatic. No electricity required.

This is my exact thought. My state recently passed a law requiring drivers' phones to be in hands free mode which means connecting phone to vehicle. Data sharing and security on vehicles is so under regulated. Seems like another way to forcibly track us and sell our info.

And then the next bunch of fascists come in and seize all that data. Or the TLAs do it covertly.
We need strong data protection laws, but we also need strong technical measures to prevent intrusion.

What about sporting insertables instead?
They try pushing a warable onto me, and I'll insert it in them.

Do you have children or elderly parents to care for?
Or want your food to show up in grocery stores? Or airplanes and trains to arrive on time and safely?
Time is an important safety thing.

Maybe they're all too busy basking in the warm glow of hell... Nah
