Alternatively, the fun has been back ended and more time is spent enjoying the outcome you desired instead of grinding along the path needed to get there. I’m all for DIY, but sometimes you just want someone else to do it. More time with satisfying ice cream, less time maseraring raw broccolis and tree bark.

Edit: It’s even easier. Keep your plain 1960s receptacle and just plug this into it: https://www.amazon.com/Govee-Assistant-Controller-Required-Certified/dp/B08X448XHR/

Buy a smart plug / wall receptacle. Connect it to Alexa similar home automation app. Setup schedule (the bulb and Alexa both do this simply, perhaps as a routine). Then just plug your lights into that junction with the new smart plug

Depends upon how one defines it. States of consciousness certainly change, when inebriated or otherwise intoxicated, sick, fatigued, dehydrated, low blood sugar, under duress, suffering a head injury, etc.

Ok, but it still happens one bite at a time

If artificial consciousness becomes even more indistinguishable from wet meat computer (biological) consciousness than it already is, does it really matter?

Even the largest of elephants can be eaten one bite at a time

It doesn’t matter. We do.

Those that didn’t were selected against

Who said anything about voters being reasonable?

I’m certain they’re actively looking for ways to change that, most likely under the guise of election integrity

That we’re hypocrites who laugh at one Senator but respect and give a pass to another who obviously did the EXACT same thing. The additional insinuation is that we as a group at SFN do this since we’re insincere partisan hacks who only see the letter beside the Senators names and can’t be bothered watching their conduct or beliefs or voting records. He just wanted to poke us a bit with a rhetorical twig.

I enjoyed that, too. Am sure the Senators favorite part was that she was played by… Scarlett Johansen And one more bc, well, bc snark is how we process modern political pain

Former National Security Adviser, Lt Gen Mike Flynn who played key roles in pushing the Jan6 insurrection, is another very powerful crusader in this fight for the soul of our people.

Same trend with those in DC. Yes, absolutely another reinforcing datapoint

No. We entered it almost 200 years ago with the Industrial Revolution. It’s just now becoming so overwhelmingly beyond baseline that even non-experts are seeing it everywhere. Remember these years. They’ll never be this good again. Hashtag uplifting I’m not

Christian nationalism in the US is not the same as Christianity. It’s more like an American version of how the Taliban and ISIS distort Islam. Jesus would be strung up in a gallows for being a woke liberal trying to destroy the country.

Democratically generated backsliding into autocracy seems far more aligned with the plans they’re documenting than theocracy (though right wing Christian nationalism clearly is a player here, too) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

What is a “call,” and why would you ever do that on a phone? Or, do you maybe mean one of those audio only Zooms from the corded TikTok app like my grandmother used to talk about?? I had no idea it was so frowned upon to open a coffee shop. Have you wanted to be a barista for long? That’s what she said It’s far easier to text, write, and read on larger screens. The keyboard is easier to use (tho less relevant now with speech to text). These activities compose the bulk of use cases for majority of modern day phone users.

Unsure I’m interested. Meh. I mean, Trees? For srsly? They don’t even have the courtesy to hug me back. Not even once! I mean, ugh. Maybe 2 stars… tops! You know, come to think of it. Do the trees put out free wi-fi, at least? Do they grow any sort of root based leaf enhanced power charging stations or something?? (and, if they do, those stations had better AT LEAST be configured minimum of USB-C 2.1) Hashtag gotta have standards

Get a normal size. Had a large size Samsung years ago. Couldn’t put the stupid thing in my pocket

Human driven artificial selection AFAIK

I just buy in a can or (more commonly) in a spray can since I rarely use it and only in special circumstances like when I don’t want paint to bleed into the surrounding wood on carvings

One is a sibling who is a lawyer Closer to 30%, but your core point resonates deeply within me, too

You’re basically blogging a light flavor of spam with zero points for discussion (and this is why you’ve been banned at other sites… that plus sock-puppetry)
