  • Yeah, but…

    Do you really want any good memories to be made that some would give him credit for? Especially this. I don’t wanna be diving home with my latest stash haul thinking “thanks trump” as I go on my merry way without legal worry.

    I’m totally convinced he knows absolutely nothing of value, he just parrots whatever he’s told to say. Whenever he says anything about something being “the greatest”, “the biggest”, “the biggest” etc, the absolute most charitable interpretation I have is that some “expert” summarized something for him (because he can’t read) and that’s how they referred to it with him.

    He never explains why whatever things is the biggest or whatever, he never contextualizes it. He’s simply verbally checking a box that the real powers that be tell him to. He’s too stupid to be in charge of everything. He’s too stupid to know how to wash his hands, or discuss anything off the cuff.

    I mean anyone could trip up and say something stupid when the camera’s rolling, but he isn’t capable of saying anything above what a 4 year old could understand. He can’t name all 50 states. He probably can’t name 50 geographical locations at all. He couldn’t tell you who’s on the $50 bill without looking at it. He can’t calculate 27 minus 9. He is literally completely brainless to the point I almost legit think people are working on early drafts of skin suits for evil AI bots.

    I don’t think it’s naturally possible to be as stupid as him. He’s coddled because the rest of the conservatives want the world to go their way and he’s a useful proxy for that (for now) so they pretend to respect him until even they can’t hide it anymore, and move on to probably a Hitler lookalike.

    He is almost too dumb to breathe. If that wasn’t automatic, he would definitely be dead. I mean we all would once we fall asleep, but he would die while awake unless they had someone in staff constantly reminding him. This paragraph isn’t even sarcastic or exaggerating. I honestly think he would be too stupid to remember to breathe.










  • It doesn’t really matter if we think they’re people. It doesn’t really matter if they are. We (all the worthy humans) should treat them as non people.

    I can’t see a negative here beyond false identification. If there was an objective, without a doubt way to measure if someone was a Nazi, I would support genociding them (and only them). Proactively. It should simply be as illegal to just be a Nazi on the same level as it would be to murder an entire country’s population.

    Turns out that is either impossible or we’re millions of years from figuring out how to do that safely (safe in terms of not harming non Nazis). But the minute we do I’d be on board with punishing them for daring to be born. There is no world of timeline in which being Nazi isn’t worthy of immediate execution.

    But since all of that is a pipe dream, in the mean time we can at least celebrate when they get taken out naturally. I wouldn’t like rub it in the family’s face (unless they were Nazis as well) or anything, but I’m definitely not even gonna act sad about it. The more pain they feel as they die, the harder I laugh. Tough lessons suck to learn. Sorry NOT sorry.

    As a last note, I think that would be the better world, and it would be defending ourselves from their existence, which is a threat to everyone. As long as that idea is still in someone’s head, no one is safe.




  • I feel based on the name of the community, some rules would be obvious. But a “absolutely nothing from you, male scum” isn’t obvious.

    I posted one there yesterday or this morning, haven’t checked on it, but it’s probably deleted now. No harm no foul. It wasn’t meant to break a rule, and they can do what they want. But I would’ve never even known if not for this post.

    But I will be blocking the sub now. Both because I’m apparently not welcome, and because I will probably accidentally do it again otherwise.

    Edit: It wasn’t that sub after checking. Phew. One less toxic place to be.






  • Well I guess I wasn’t the only one.

    Only took about a day to get it figured out and reset.

    For reference, I only have 3 devices attached. 2 lights and an outlet that is basically another light as it’s connected to a dumb LED strip (aka I can’t use Assistant to control it or change the colors or pattern of changes, I just control the outlet to turn on do I can turn the strip itself effectively on and off- I still need the manufacturer’s app to change the colors and brightness- and as fucking terrible as that app is, at least it works; it has ads and needs an account, but it does function).

    More often than not I turn on/off the lights at the same time, and the strip separately, or I turn all 3 on and off together.

    When I do them all together, I use the command “bedroom off”.

    When the issue affected me, the symptom was that only my night stand light would respond.

    In the Google Home app, all 3 were still associated with the bedroom, but only the night stand responded to the spoken command.

    I changed the other 2 items to another room and then signed them back to the bedroom, and it’s fine now.

    There is one other oddity that might be Google’s fault, or maybe the light itself. The other light (not the night stand) will occasionally register as “offline” and doesn’t respond to commands at first.

    Then the Nest speaker starts to announce “(that light) is offline and can’t be (something or other)”

    But it usually triggers while the message is still being said (which is why I can’t remember the rest of the error- it usually fixes and it stops saying the message when the light finally heard the message and changes).


  • Removable battery is #1. My old Galaxy S3 (not even my first phone-yes I’m old) has absolutely godawful battery life but I had I think 4 total batteries around to make sure I could always have it even on a heavy use day. That sucked, but at least it was doable with a really easy process (peel off plastic back, pull out and swap battery, snap the backplate back on).

    I keep an old phone around and sometimes use it to play like a video for my cats to watch if they’re laying on my bed when I’m not in there. But it has to stay plugged in because it loses the first 20% in about 15 minutes.

    And that phone in particular (a pixel 2) is particularly a pain to replace the battery in the first place.
