I was clearly not referring to devices that need network access to function. This is a post about Nest Thermostats, not computers and phones…

Yes because then people wind up doing drugs (or spamming memes) instead of anything productive, perpetuating the cycle of depression

Drugs work, too. Similarly bad for your brain in the long run, though

You ever see that comic with the guy popping out the well saying “Yet you participate in society. Curious!”?

Is he really blaming us, though?

"This group is facing several headwinds, including unemployment, increased student loan repayment, and slower real wage growth,”

At the end of the day, he only cares about the bottom line but it sounds more like he’s acknowledging the broken economy than blaming us for not buying fast food

Yeah that’s fair, I just don’t like any devices with network access at all.

I think I speak for everyone in this home automation community when I say congratulations, I am so very proud of you!

HomeKit :( from one corporate ecosystem to another

You are a master at dodging the question, I’ll give you that!

What makes you think they don’t have the power

And why can’t it win a short-term war?

Libertarianfellowship.org? Didn’t know NAMBLA rebranded

Why do you think NATO would need a long term war to deal with Russia?

It’s wrong for you to want a funny thing, yes.

Just want to say I appreciate you including a source. That’s some good posting etiquette.

I cackled playing Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth

…when some NPCs moonwalked in the background during some dialogue.

Before that, some parts Yakuza: Like A Dragon which I thought was a much funnier and better game

If there was a toilet right there, do you think they would still choose the wall?

Have you ever been around drunk tourists before? The answer is yes

One of the worst parts of it is that Scooby Doo has had tons of successful series and they’ve all been pretty good. Yet they somehow managed to fuck this up despite it being an incredibly simple formula for a show.

They kinda do, but not totally dumb: Unmotorized deadbolts. They’re more like strikes, they prevent/allow the deadbolt to turn with an electromagnet.

You could just look at the status of it but at that point, I’d just get the motorized one. I think the price difference is like $50

That is a completely unfair comparison. For starters, Facebook is a for-profit advertising company and Wikipedia is a community-driven encyclopedia and should be judged by different standards

Second, both admins and users can edit Wikipedia when there’s a problem. Everyone is “responsible” for fixing it - or at the very least equally at fault

Next, the content in question. Facebook was (rightfully) given hell for hosting gore, CSAM, adult porn, etc. Things that are immoral, illegal, or outright dangerous. The offending content on Wikipedia is bad translations.

Lastly, the bigger issue is always enforcement of said content. Facebook was made aware of the problem users/pages/uploads and slacked off on doing anything. These Wikipedia pages have very low traffic and weren’t getting reported. And even with reports, Wikipedia then has to consult with people who speak the rare language.

They’re similar problems of vastly different scales
