#MarkRober feels like this generation's #MythBusters

@daarin My concern too is that such #ClickBait with #disinformation may actually incentivize someone to do these things and then get sued.

  • That's also propably the reason why #MarkRober neither sells his #GlitterBombs nor incentivizes others to try the same.

But also car break - ins and "fencing" ain't even remotely as common in #Germany than the #USA, (espechally not the SFBA), because here people are way more suspicious and also shit's not that extreme here - yet...

@daarin Obviously I'd not do that, even if I had a problem with parcel theft.

  • And even if I'd put like big-ass warning stickers all over it and not make it a "lesser-lethal #IED".

Instead do it like #MarkRober and even then rather make it a #TrackingPackage that would call the police with muted speaker and an automated message saying "This device has been stolen and is now sending audio from the thief! Please track and locate me..." cuz that would be more efficient at actually catching someone in the act.

  • But then again Mark Rober also didn't do that because that could be deemed "abuse of emergency numbers" so yeah, just tracking to some stash would be the best option.

I do disagree with #MarkRober here, cuz "#Fencing", like any #paid-for / financially incentivized #crime is a mere #symptom and not root cause.

  • Almost all people ain't criminals by conviction but by the fact that honest "alternatives" either don't exist at all or don't allow them to make ends meet.

Espechally in a place like #SanFrancisco and the #SFBA which is so #gentrified that #NIMBYs in #PaloAlto prevented a midrise apartment complex catering solely to elderly residents who get outclassed by #TechBros, thus making it impossible for many to stay in their neighbourhoods.

  • Most people generally want to just make ends meet, be able to face 3-4 digit surprise expenses without extreme anxiety and instead be able to occasionally do some consumer spending.

That's what I'd gather from the footage: None of the folks shown are above the median income of the US, in fact I'd be surprised if any of those were above the bottom 25%, with most in the bottom 1% - bottom 10% bracket just by my guesstimations.

  • I mean, yeah, someone making 100k isn't going to risk their "cushy" existance for less than what they make in a week after taxes, so that's really obvious.

So yeah, it kinda goes full circle, and the ones being shafted are the bottom 95% who's insurance premiums will only go up through no fault of their own...
