Actually no I haven’t. I do have a number of smart devices and occasionally I’ve noticed that they’ve activated unintentionally but thats little more then a small annoyance.

Whoa, simmer down Deep State. How is this different than a butt dial or your small kid mashing numbers on your land line? Just because the controls are voice activated rather than tactile doesn’t make it a privacy thing any more than the above examples are.

So when I’m getting down to my N.W.A. or Wu-Tang, which I’ve been listening to and singing along with for 20 damn years, you’re saying I can’t say the word that they say in the song? That’s ridiculous. It’s a song.

Also, the “let them decide” thinking is a bit of a cop out. They’re going to learn from your teaching and your example so don’t pretend that you won’t influence their path toward or away from religion. What they’ll truly decide on their own will come much, much later.

Wanting someone to suffer serious injuries or death is certainly something a terrible person would do.

“Trivial dispute” is legalese for “please, for the love of God, don’t dig into this story any more. There’s ugly shit in here that we don’t want to get out.”

Really? X10 systems and more recently (as in the last 15 years) Insteon have been doing precisely this (in addition to replacing the mounting box on units connected to 3-way lamps.) at the switch. *sigh*

Look, even Sean Hannity called it a fucking clip. Nobody gives a shit about you donning your Captain Pedantic cape when people are dying and at least someone (including the fucking NRA of all groups) is down to try something to fix the issue at hand.

Distinction without a difference as far as I’m concerned. It’s just a way for people to be pedantic and feel like they’re taking part in a discussion that they have nothing to contribute.

Its almost as though adulting is too hard. I mean, IMO cars belong in garages. So most of these “HOA doesn’t like your car” make me think “why is he parking his pride outside? Because he has too much shit in his garage that’s more important?” And a tank parked in front of your house? :|

But yeah, Jaloponik is basically…

What’s with all these articles blasting HOAs and siding with people who just create problems for their neighborhoods?

One time, I was running while holding a corn snake

I don’t know your personal frame of reference but you just handwaved like $40/month.

I have been in one - it’s no more hard plastic than any other car.

Sure but then you’re with a girl who likes a man bun.
