The on/off switch always struck me as odd. Like, in a recessed plug such as this where the male prongs have a bit of insulation to them, are they really that worried about a tiny arc that might occur when someone forgets to turn off the device? Like it would make more sense to have a limit switch built into the socket that activates on insertion and deactivates on removal. And even then, with our caveman sockets in the US, a small arc isn't the end of the world, you just know not to have your fingers near the shiny bits.

They're already behind the scenes pulling the strings. If swear there was already a documentary novel series and film about this.

American dude here, right there with you. Just some of these conversations you overhear from girls in their 20s or even 30s is mind numbing, and they can keep going until the sun comes up. And they're loud.

My wife and I saw Dead and Co last year at the sphere in Vegas, and there were these two women behind us that wouldn't shut up the entire show, just talking like you'd envision two teenagers gossiping out their asses.

I think a lot of it just comes from a complete lack of social awareness, and if they're the slightest bit pretty, they've likely never been checked for being rude or obnoxious.

The upfront cost is the big one. Most can't afford the $20-30k install, so that's when these creative financing schemes come into play where they match your lower end power bill to make you think you save money but end up taking the rewards of your net metering arrangement for themselves. You're better off finding a 3rd party loan from a credit union and then not having a power bill.

Those dummies think they're the good guys.

Aye. It's also the difference between planned upgrading for quality of life improvements vs being unexpectedly forced to buy a new fridge or something because the one crapped out. Like, you can live fine without a dishwasher, but a fridge not so much.

Nah I'm with you. It's just unbelievably lame that we have to be careful about seeking help for the possibility of having it used against us.

I'll be honest, you've just justified a years long paranoia regarding doctors and therapists I've had. The likelihood of me being a target for anything is extremely low, but that fact that any goon in the government can get access to medical records and (even worse) therapy records that can be used against you for whatever purpose they deem necessary is unsettling. I've always been leery about letting on what's going on in my mind, and this kinda just confirms it.

Luckily I haven't needed to go to a doctor outside of urgent care for simple stuff in a very long time, but I'm also reaching the age where I need to start paying attention, so off to Mexico I go.

Bingo

It still bugs me that your life count reset to 4 if you turned off the console.

Yes. The 90s will always be 10 years ago.

My anus is bleeding

Iirc way too many football players go broke once they retire due them spending all their money living the "baller" lifestyle instead of saving/planning ahead.

occasional wheel of cheese

I'm not even mad, that's amazing

"...because I'm the main character and these 'globalists' know me by name"

Yeah well Elmo is a real chatty Cathy and a little douchebag.

I dunno if legally selling blow to the public is the right idea, but I also know a possession ticket/jail stint hasn't deterred many coke heads either.

Sounds like you're an ideal candidate for reeducation a tax payer funded visit to a summer camp.

I'd be leery about posting anything on any platform, especially one that has even your email or other personal info attached to it. Even on a random day that I go browse ahem the other place, I don't really comment anymore. I don't even have my email tied to that account, but I don't trust spez's greedy little pig boy ass, and I'm doing my damn best to fly under the radar while they build their databases. Nor would I trust MS, Google, or even Apple to not be tracking every thought and action online for resistance monitoring.
