Get a call blocker app, tell it to block every single phone call, whitelist your contacts. If they are not in your contacts, but its important, they will leave a message.

Pretty sure the idea here is that it was outlandishly overreacting for humor.

The constitution is like the bible for conservatives: Cant be bothered to read it, gladly accepts someone else’s interpretation.

Try to get a quick lunch, sit down to eat, asshole in corner listening to tiktok at full volume, imagine murdering this pos through the entire meal.

Dr. Mike Isratel?

I came to this conclusion around highschool age, my take on the wording of this sentiment was usually “An omnipotent being fucked a women who then gave birth to his son/self, so that the child/clone could die to learn something he didnt before about the humanity he created”

also “I gave you free will, so you better use it to believe this story that you would never believe otherwise”

and finally “If i live life as a good person and get sent to hell because i didnt believe a fake sounding story then god is a pathetic narcissist and i want nothing to do with him anyways”

Im just thankful my parents would always ask “well what do you think?” whenever i asked them about religion. I always try to keep that in mind as a form of sympathy for people who were manipulated in childhood. “Faith” has better PR than “Ignorance”.

its a different version of the more used “Come on in, the waters fine” phrase. Its just a colloquialism normally used when trying to convince someone to join your team. In this context Its basically saying “dont worry, there is no downside to thinking my way”. Unfortunately the only response to this is to punch them in the throat, not because of the phrase which is harmless, but because they are a nazi, and nazi’s get punched in the throat.

Are you using home assistant? Their website says ikea switches arnt compatible with it.

I recently bought a zigbee dongle to use with a home assistant VM. Do you have any advice on products? There is alot of stuff out there and I am trying to make sure I get good stuff.

My current plan is that id buy assorted types of lights to fill the roles of actual lighting and mood lighting, and I would pair that with a 4 button switch to toggle between some different presets. Been looking at Moes for the scene switch buttons and Sengled bulbs, and still need to find a solution for having home assistant to turn on or off non-smart items by delivering power or withholding, but i feel like i am flying blind.

All these takes going against this advice feel like we might be being astroturfed by an army of horny preteens trying to manipulate their millennial parents lolol.

I had a friend who ran away from an abusive home

Can we agree “I want to talk to her parents before u fuck their daughter in our house and with our knowledge”, is so far from an abusive home scenario that they are in different solar systems?

I am all for trust, but in this scenario we are discussing the honesty of a teenage male trying to get laid, and I wasn’t born yesterday, and I was him at one point. The downside of “Your son violated my little girl in your house and you knew about it!!!” is quite high to let trust take the wheel, especially when all you had to do was ask your son to have her parents call you.

This meme format never shows a scenario that isn’t made up anymore.

Ohhh that’s a bingo!

That would be a great point if not for the “rabble rabble DEI! rabble rabble Bootstraps!”

Stupid lib!

Most every major company isn’t entrenched in people’s lives as deeply as apple is though. If I want to leave Netflix it’s as easy as switching subscriptions. If I want to leave Apple I need months of migration and multiple product replacements.

Or at least that’s what it looks like to someone who has avoided Apple their whole life, it was apparent to me as a teen that the walled garden was a trap. The iPhone and iPhone 3g where the only and last peices of apple hardware I’ve ever owned.

it sets off “potential bs” alarms

Pretty clear to me, I guess my problem was assuming I was speaking to another adult, and not a child who would react to a made up perception of what I meant instead of the words I actually said. Exactly like the kind of person who just believes every headline they read as long as it aligns to their values.

Interesting, see I would have translated it as

I don’t just believe all of the shit I read on the internet because I don’t have my head a mile up my own ass

But i suppose I’m not fluent in lemming so what do i know.

Pretty narrow vision. Microsoft can suggest hardware for you and charge the seller for the advert.

Wow your chrome is running really slow, try buying new Corsair ddr5 ram available now on amazon

No, but it sets off “potential bs” alarms. It doesn’t matter whether you agree or disagree with it, headlines tend to misrepresent for clicks, this is just the truth.
