  • You can't even convince normal people this is bad. You really think there's enough critical mass among naysayers to really matter? I can (and do) only run Linux at home, but as soon as my bank switches over to requiring this bullshit, I'm going to have to play along on a different device.

  • Measuring galvanic skin resistance isn't bullshit. But it's certainly not telling them what they claim it does.

    Devices of that type are usually advertised to consumers as biofeedback machines and used for detecting autonomic sympathetic arousal to train the user to control anxiety.

    Because of the harsh consequences in Scientology of failing an auditing session, Scientologists also to learn to control their responses when they're on a meter. In effect, users can train themselves to lie to it. This is how they end up with those stares that are somehow both intense and vacant.

  • I'm 237 years old, a retired phosphate miner in Nauru. I learned to drive on manual transmissions but now refuse to drive anything not powered by a turbo-encabulator, with the exception of Starfleet shuttlecraft. I also hate questions that encourage people to give away personal or census data without considering that is what's happening.
