Open it up and disconnect or burn the modem and microphone.
- Comment on 216,000,000 Spy TVs | The LG Smart TV Problem 2 days ago:
A new, fully open source firmware is way better than simply not hooking it to Internet, but the only real fix is to disconnect or burn the modem and microphone. Obviously, we all have different a different level of attack surface that makes us feel comfortable. I’m just giving you a heads up. You never know what’s in the other chips.

I do too. I’m up to trying one that withstands power consolidation while simultaneously being able to defend itself against control systems that do consolidate power, if it looks like it might actually be able to do that.

In a “we need to give all power to a central authority” to prevent this, kind of way? Or a “defend your personal space yourself and lose it when you can’t” kind of way?

No honey, I just think that with limited resources, we should focus on the mass murders before the people slapping others in the face.
I don’t hold the view you’re trying to pin on me, nor did I “make it very clear”, but your adoption of my framing as your own is very flattering.

Your argument is ‘the Black woman who owns her own corner shop is as bad as elon musk’?
I appreciate that you have voiced this opinion in opposition to mine. Thank you.

This is so against my entire life of experience that I must ask you, what dishwasher do you claim cleans “everything from everything”? Because it sounds more like you don’t really cook.
If you can really find me a dishwasher that will take a lasagna tray straight from the oven, and give it back to me ready for the cabinet, while also not breaking any dishes or glasses, I’ll quit my job and sell them myself.

- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 1 week ago:
You are infantilizing the fascist underbelly that supports trump.
The “reasonable doubt” isn’t to confuse “idiots”. These “idiots” see through it just like you. The “reasonable doubt” is to give the “idiots” cover against their neighbors, friends, and family.
They know very well what they are voting for, but they are cowards. All fascists are cowards. They will not fight unless they have overwhelming advantage.
Their ideologies stem from deep fear, better described as a life enveloping terror, of everything. For the fascist to feel safe, all things must be dominated or destroyed.
How many children would still see their trump voting parents if the parents said openly “I voted for trump because he is going to kill the people I don’t like”? How many who still see that family member now, wouldn’t under those conditions?
How about last term? How many would have left that person in 2016?
How many neighbors would live next to a person who openly calls for genocide in the neighborhood?
The “reasonable doubt” is cover for these hateful, destructive people. It does not confuse them. They know what they are doing.

This has led to a lot of white people born in the 80s and 90s becoming aware of this reality much later into their adult lives.
I’m always glad when people come around, but it’s also important to acknowledge this fact so we can correct it.
- Comment on It's never been about helping people 1 week ago:
When you compare the largest stakeholders across the board it’s the same people. You would have to make >$150k a year for the food and necessities industries in order for them to try and change this. It’s far more than the direct $60k because there is money made from the slave labor and an inherent cost savings in not having to oppress the people in another, more expensive way.
- Comment on It's never been about helping people 1 week ago:
Per year, per year. These are the yearly outlays for each.

Which is why everyone’s wages increased perfectly to keep up. Inflation is just a number and though a house costs $500,000 today, wages are at $240 an hour, keeping pace with the real purchase power of a dollar in the 1950s.

I’m telling you, that was my thought too. But my second thought was that hurricanes are way more destructive, over a much bigger area. If I can get power in two weeks after hundreds of miles of 150mph wind and 20’ floods, why aren’t they fixed yet?
This shit in Gary is extra fucked up.
- Comment on New Delhi - during lockdown vs now 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, overpopulation is really easy to handle and doesn’t require violence. Give kids a genuine education that they can continue into adulthood, and access to birth control and reproductive healthcare, and bam, population growth is fixed.
The population problem is intentionally caused by the epstein class, so they can have abundant, desperate, cheap labor.
- Comment on ‘It’s absolutely criminal’: US tipping culture has reached the UK – and is causing chaos 2 weeks ago:
Well yeah, a coordinated effort would work way better and way faster.
I was responding to your direct criticism of ‘we’re too overloaded and can’t protest this right now’. I offered a simple protest to fit the bill. If ‘not eating at a restaurant’ is too much work as a protest, I think there is no chance of the population achieving anything anymore.
It really sounds like you don’t want to do anything at all to help fix the situation (except maybe stop tipping?) But hey, you get to decide your cake slice too.
- Comment on ‘It’s absolutely criminal’: US tipping culture has reached the UK – and is causing chaos 2 weeks ago:
On the contrary, not going to a restaurant requires far less energy than going and not tipping.
We don’t need to organize in any way. I’m not suggesting that we don’t go to a specific restaurant or all restaurants on a specific day. That would require organization. As would any form of “go but don’t tip” protest done morally and effectively.
Just don’t go, at your own pace, and anyone anywhere can also not go as they feel they can or want to participate. Let the business owners figure out what they need to do to get people back.
Force the one with the power to figure out and execute a plan.

- Comment on ‘It’s absolutely criminal’: US tipping culture has reached the UK – and is causing chaos 2 weeks ago:
Going to a business where the worker assumes you will abide by the social contract they need to survive, then using their services and violating the contract after the fact, only hurts the worker, you’re right. It’s a fucked up thing to do and the people who do it are selfish pricks.
Not patronizing the restaurant at all is how to do it. Or as a lesser stand, getting your food to go.
These are a morally sound way to send the message. The workers is still temporarily harmed with less income, but you are the one “putting themselves out” for your protest. You are not forcing the worker, who has the least amount of power in the situation, to endure violence for your benefit. I don’t see people doing that either.
In fact, America has actively moved to doing the opposite, paying extra to another corp (food delivery) for shittier service, shittier food, and still having to either tip or hurt the worker with even less power to change anything.
- Comment on Grim signs the globe is about to run short of food 2 weeks ago:
They did.
We make enough food to feed 10-12B people
If we feed 8B but could feed 12B if we didn’t eat animals, that’s 12-8=4, 4B more people, and 4/12=1/3, or a third of our crops that could be used to feed people instead of animals. Which is right at the percentage of crops used for animal feed, ~36%.
You are correct that they did use the word “most” instead of “much” which wasn’t as accurate as their math. I guess I focused more on their concrete descriptor while you went with the fuzzy one.
Either way, the truth is certainly that we could mitigate the crop loss of climate change with a simple alteration of our diet, while we figure out where, when, and how to grow crops now. It likely won’t happen, but it’s possible.
Unfortunately, just like with the current percentage of the population that is actively starving, the greater percentage in the future will likely just be forced to die, even though they can be easily fed.

Sting Mary’s womb was indeed empty, but the shape of her uterine void was mapped and used to build a functional replica of the salty messiah. When he was found floating down the Nile on a congealed foam of textile factory chemicals, the prophecy was fulfilled.
