  • I'm not sure why this had 0 votes, but it's true. I'm old enough that my first cell phone experience was a bag phone from the 1980s.

    Texting wasn't even a thing for a while, but once it started, it was charged per message with like a 16 character limit. Then that limit was expanded, but it was always per message, not per character.

    But, actually typing out a message was a pain the ass. There were no keyboards at first. You used the letters on the number pad to send your messages.

    When T9 texting debuted that was a GOD SEND. Only needing to tap a lil number once to guess your word? Holy crap!

  • I am tired of US citizens misunderstanding the entire point of the 1st amendment.

    It has absolutely nothing to do with private companies. You can just not use their services. It has to do with the us and state governments not being able to jail you for talking trash about them.

    Keep in mind that, at the time, the monarchy of England was known for jailing people who talked badly about them.

    This was to prevent that. It wasn't to make sure Bobby could tell Janie she was a cunt, and her not be able to slap him.

  • Equality does not truly exist until everyone is equally armed. Money can only be synonymous with power, as long as the people allow it to be.

    When two groups of people are more or less equally armed, neither has the advantage over the other.

    What many people fail to realize is that while armaments have changed over thousands of years, as long as there appears to be a balance of power, peace happens.

    But once one group or another no longer perceives "the other" as being equal in power to them war is inevitable.

    That, in a nutshell, is what is happening today in the USA.

  • If I'm in the bedroom, I may want my ceiling lights on if someone is in there if it's dark outside, but if my wife and I are in bed, then only turn on the baseboard lights, at 1% brightness when someone is still in bed. Presence sensors aren't that fine grained, and I certainly don't want to wake up my wife when this old fart gets up to go pee again. She's grumpy when awakened. 🤣
