You know what's NOT up for debate? "It's Up For Debate: An Evening with Charlie Rose Presented by Polymarket, featuring Andrew Yang & Marjorie Taylor Green" would be the worst possible first-date activity ever. And I say that as someone who was once taken on a date to see William F. Buckley Jr.

Workers find the glasses creepy and threatening, but something often missed in the conversation: Having employees wearing smart glasses while handling customer data is a huge security risk.

Jennifer recalls starting to shake because their presence — and her boss’s lack of concern about how violating a recording device in the workplace could be — was so disconcerting.

Sprouts workers are barred from wearing headphones on the store floor because it’s a safety hazard when operating heavy machinery, Jennifer says, and non-managers are not allowed to have their phones with them. (She asked that The Verge use a pseudonym so she could discuss her experience freely.) What’s more, Jennifer says Sprouts stores prohibit videography and photography inside — customers who come in know the store has security cameras, but are likely not expecting employees to have glasses with built-in cameras in them, too. An employee wearing Meta glasses could break that trust with customers. Store employees also handle sensitive data at their jobs, including customers’ names, email addresses, and credit card information.

Just walked past this. Why would I want to hire people to carefully move my stuff if they can’t be bothered to make sure that their company name “In and Out Movers” is not accidentally rendered as “In Nut” on their logo?

When I was in high school in TX, I violated a school regulation. There were two options for punishment: Corporal or 3 days of lunchtime detention. I chose detention. Many friends said, "Just take the paddling, it's over with quickly." NOPE. I was ABSOLUTELY not going to accede to being *beaten*.

I’ve always found it interesting when we use softening words to describe hitting a child. Paddling, swatting. How minor. How mild. Beating. Those children are being beaten, by the trusted adults in their lives.
