Someone gets caught with a few grams of weed? Toss ‘em in jail seems to be the common punishment. Defraud companies and regular folks? Slap on the wrist, if that. A fine, the cost of doing business.
It’s sick. Folks like George Santos should be rotting in a jail cell for what they’ve done.
Just… being lazy. Like, the clothes are washed and dried, but they stay in the basket and never get put up. I put chores off a lot. There’s a certain anxiety I have about stuff, like I’m worried it’ll take forever or take a lot of effort. It never does, and it always works out better, but that anxiety stops me every time.
Right, but still. It’s always some crappy electronic part that wasn’t actually tested in the real-world use case, and so the wires aren’t shielded enough or a something. It’s always the same shit. “Oh, we cheaped out on this part because reasons.”
I know they don’t have the best reputation, but Truecaller’s ‘Voice Assistant’ feature has been a godsend for me. The basic bot answers calls from unknown numbers and transcribes their response before ringing, and only if they don’t hang up. I’ll look at my phone to see I have a few missed calls from unknown numbers, only to find that Truecaller intercepted them all and they hung up once they heard the message that the call was being screened. It’s great.
Folks that call for legitimate reasons that aren’t in my contacts generally leave a message and I get the call once they’ve left it. Folks that are in my contacts ring as normal.
Shit, I’m cis but live in Texas. I’ll be thrilled if I make it to 40.
