That’s fair.

The obvious choice is “don’t buy tvs that might do this” but if you’ve already got one, open up the case, find the wifi antenna, and pull the little connection out.

Honestly I barely talk to my immediate family, about 60/40 because we live under one roof, and most of our communication is just sharing memes anyway.

The only relatives I care about are three democrats that realize capitalism is a problem and the rich are the true enemies of the people. The rest are all corpo-throating republicans.

And even when I was younger and dumber/more “conservative” , I still didn’t care to keep in touch with them. Just never really cared to.

If he ever gloats about having a degree, I’ve had success with tossing back “in order for me to feel insulted, I would have to value your opinion”

Its made two relatives block me and my mother in law call several relatives to cry and moan about how evil and manipulative I am because when she responded with multiple gigantic run-on paragraph/sentences in a row, I hit her with “lol. I ain’t gonna read all that”

People who take pleasure in how much better they believe their lives or decisions are typically can’t stand it when someone else doesn’t fucking care

I remember a friend of mine whining about how my text bubble was a different color and it “made it weird” to text because of that.

By then I was already super over the whole tribalistic iphone/android bs from people I know when it wasn’t being meme’d on, so I just told her “you can either get over it, or we can stop talking and being friends”

Wouldn’t you know it, the color of a text bubble isn’t enough to end a friendship over.

Ah, no true scottsman adult, then.

far-right commie

You can either join me in sitting around a small fire and discussing rc stuff, star trek, guns, and how functionally unregulated capitalism is destroying the planet, or you can keep moving.

I hope you’ll join me, I’m making breakfast. Eggs, potatoes, bacon, biscuits, and pancakes if you’re okay with some mildly overcooked spots.

Yeah it was meant as “the US has been doing bad things to non-white people but now that it’s so open and bad, the other majority white countries can’t just turn a blind eye like they do when we bomb the middle east”

Well, now that things are cleared up, have a pleasant day! 😊

I didn’t realize so many white people were being deported, arrested, or sent to concentration camps.

Can confirm, shipmate. My Swear Bible is sitting in my coffee table right now.

Can you imagine trying to get through a med-cruise without it?

Sure, but now it’s not really arguable for the “white countries”.

It’s a lot harder for Canada to turn and look away than it was 20 years ago.

Professionals have standards

If my employer tried to tell me I’m only getting paid when I’m actively using the equipment instead of the whole time I setting up and transferring materials, I’d have to get in line to set the place on fire

If the government declares a strike illegal, or tries to in any way compel the employees to return to work, they are explicitly telling the workers that they are nothing more than indentured servants, barely more than slaves. You exist to make these people money, now sit down and shut up before we throw you in prison for upsetting your betters.

1 it was too expensive to move out and honestly without the added income I provided my parents would have lost their house on multiple occasions

2 I got one the fall after I graduated

3 this one took awhile

4 lol no. Never. Children are the worst. I should know, I used to be one.

The older people I know who vote Democrat complain all the time about how expensive everything is these days and nobody can afford anything.

The bullshit “Nobody wants to work” narrative is absolutely pushed by conservatives.

Having worked in quite a few fields in the last 15 years or so, it’s the same active shooter training they give everyone. Even in stores that sell guns.

I’ll let the reader decide how fucked up it is that there’s basically a countrywide accepted “standard response”

you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build

That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?
