laughs in Nintendo Power magazine

Get off my lawn, kids! 🤣

It’s called a CB radio. Enjoy.

Is this the greatest game ever written?

No. It’s just a tribute.

Very regional.

In areas with high humidity they don’t work all that well

“Alabama Ingenuity” is the phrase I typically use these days.

I dress to avoid indecency charges.

Naive? No. What’s naive is thinking that if you give power to anyone over your own data , even your government, that it will.protect it.

You think the EU cares about your privacy? I know my own government is doing it’s level best to destroy mine, but at least I’m aware of it.

You, however, have the naivete of Pollyanna and think your vaunted EU is better.

That sounds like privacy, not evil.

Because history, as well as current events, tell us that governments will absolutely make privacy illegal, so if you can do an end run of them by not being beholden to ANY government, then that is absolutely a good thing.

Yeah. We have a smart washer. It’s out in our detached garage/shop so even if the chime were on, no one in the house would ever hear it.

The only “smart” feature we use on it at all is remote notifications.

And we don’t use the GE app for that either. I have it linked through our Home Assistant, so no one in the family needs their crap on our phones. Yes, HA must link into their servers, but the only real data GE gets is how much we use it, and the “city” where our internet connection says we’re in… which is 300 miles away from our actual home, in a completely different state.

Spoons made me fat!

I just tried to turn my comment into a lisp joke, but realized I don’t really know lisp as well as I used to 35+ years ago, and I’m not going to reteach it to myself for the sake of a joke. Sorry. 🤣😂

(insert fat joke)

As you said. You aren’t American, so you don’t have any right to interject yourself into our voting system. And for the record, our 2 party system is absolutely nothing like most other nations that have multiple strong parties.

You cannot break the stranglehold of the 2 party system by continuing to vote for those two parties.

No. Voting for the lesser of two evil is still voting for evil. I’ll write someone in before I vote for some party functionary that only cares about their own political power.

Just ignore the trolls. Apparently I ate his pie or something equally sinister.

I’ve never voted for a Republican OR Democrat that I didn’t know personally in my entire life. Why do I add that qualifier? Because I did know some older small town politicians, in both US parties, back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when my grandfather was still alive, and they were his friends.

… I was online in 1993, bro. I was dialing into BBSs with worldwide fidonet bulletin boards even earlier than that.

Don’t be such a dipshit.

Support? Absolutely not.

Allow? Not my child.

Make illegal? Nope. Not my business to tell other parents how to raise their children.

And that’s exactly the problem here. People like YOU, who think that if I don’t want something illegal, than that of course means I like that thing, or that I personally want to do that thing.

Nope. It has to do with personal autonomy. I’m not your boss, I shouldn’t get to tell YOU what you can do to yourself. Period.

I’ve been honking my seagull all morning, until my wife came in and caught me…

Now what do I do?
