  • known asshole lolcow.

    Anytime someone is referred to as a lolcow, I immediately assume the person in question is cool and the person using lolcow is a negative IQ 'gator/low rent 4chan troll.

    Calling people lolcows tells everyone you’re actually the asshole in the conversation, since you’re explicitly saying you think it’s cool to harass people for laughs.

    Thanks for the self report!


  • to wait (its not a matter of life an death, right? And if it was one better be contacting a doctor or the police)

    I had a friend person I knew who ghosted my wife and I randomly and she stopped showing up to the job they shared (that my wife helped her get). She regularly rode around town and had been clipped by cars more than once, so we were really concerned. After getting no response for weeks, and checking her place multiple times with no response, we did a wellness check. She was fine. I tried to get a few things back since we weren’t going to be friends anymore.

    You know what that crazy bitch did in response? Filed a restraining order against me with no additional communication. Made up a whole host of accusations of stalking and spying and shit. Thankfully, once I provided the screenshots of my call and chat history, the judge saw through her lies and dismissed the charge entirely. I’ve only ever seen her once or twice since then, and I made sure to turn around immediately because the last thing I wanted was for her psycho ass to have an opportunity to fabricate more lies against me.

    TL;Dr - police wellness checks aren’t super great when you’ve been ghosted




  • these bed owners are asking the same thing" why the fuck does a bed NEED to be connected to the internet?

    To harvest your data, obviously. Which is also why they don’t allow local connectivity: you might stop them from being able to data mine you.

    I would have assumed it allows a direct connection between the controller and your phone.

    Lmao, good one.

    Just about any Internet of Shit device I’ve ever worked on, ‘cloud connected’ means ‘cloud first/only’. If your device says it uses the cloud and doesn’t SPECIFICALLY say you have offline access, you don’t.

    This is why my smart shit is zigbee/zwave, you can’t cut me off if you can’t leave my network.






  • I’m SURE you have said many things the mainstream would call gross. Maybe not necessarily hateful and vile ontop of that, but gross and ostracizing worthy to some none the less. Would you be OK with people ostracizing you for less than what they’ve said?

    Yeah, but most of the time those views are just that people deserve to have food and shelter and not sell themselves to corporations so they don’t die. And if that’s what I get cancelled for, so be it.

    I’ve seen what the mainstream celebrates, and I’m not about it for the most part.
