  • They are a bunch of bullies who bully other people. Bullying is nothing new, if anything it’s a mark of pride. No, what they can’t deal with is not fitting in, somehow being different. This is why they are antivax. They would rather have dead kids than some neurodiverse weirdos. Also dead children give you a huge sympathy bonus, whereas a weird kid gets you uninvited from get togethers.

    So, if you really want to upset them you have to point out just how weird their weird shit is.









  • I would totally agree with you if it was 10 years ago. But we have already had a Trump administration that failed miserably, killed millions of people, and had record low approval ratings.
    I go out of my way to avoid Fox News and it’s ilk, but I still have to deal with it. There’s no way for these people to have spent the last 10 years without being exposed to differing opinions and facts that expose at least some of the lies. The people who still “believe” in Trump do it willfully. They don’t want to be wrong, so they purposely ignore those things that they don’t want to know. They want something that Trump provides so badly that they are lying to themselves. This is also why they are so vocal about their insanity. They have to keep yelling it at the top of their lungs to drown out the little voices in the back of their heads. The problem is Trump only has one thing to offer and that’s hate.





  • For those of us who are old enough to remember peak Google, it is understandable.
    They revolutionized and opened up so many things that were grossly monopolized before they got involved. Android broke the telecoms insane grip on cell phone designs and features. Several people have already mentioned how Google fiber changed things in local connectivity, but Google dramatically changed global connectivity way before Google fiber. There used to be only a few international (under sea) connections, and not only was it slow and congested, but entire continents could just drop off the internet for weeks or even months at a time. They broke MS Office’s death grip on basic productivity tools. There was a time where private individuals, even grade school students were required to buy an entire professional productivity (Office) in order to deliver basic school work like writing essays. I can think of almost a dozen ways right off the top of my head that they revolutionized the world and really did take the “Do no evil” slogan to heart.
    But, as with every company that “goes public”, they slowly changed from "Do no evil’ to “Do know evil” and now they are exactly the soul and life destroying parasites that they used to free us from.





  • FYI, most newer cars have a way for you to turn off the auto lock feature. It is usually a setting in menus, but some might have you do things like close all the doors, turn the car on, and then hold the unlock button for 10 seconds.
    Worst case scenario is it has to be done through the programming tool, so if you can’t figure out how to do it yourself, then the next time you have it serviced tell them to turn off the auto-locks.

    If I remember correctly, when auto locks were first introduced some countries saw them as dangerous so automakers were required to provide a way to turn it off.
