These comments failing to parse the wording of this statement are hilarious.

We are a doomed species.

There is nothing normal about Republican behavior, bunch of weirdos, but within their subgroup they have normalized this behavior.

Blaming someone for seeing the pattern in their behavior is weird.

Misinformation is always worse in the long run.

If people find out you knowingly lied about one thing, they'll assume you lied about other things that are more important, regardless of evidence.

Climate change being an excellent example of this where it wasn't so much lies as bad guesses and so many people dismissed it despite the growing evidence.

Not that these extreme scenarios are always told from the perspective of the idiot that survived despite not using a seatbelt.

First responders and ER doctors disagree on these accounts. Vehicles are literally designed to collapse around the passengers. That doesn't work if the seatbelt isn't keeping them in the safety zone.

The media empires love being able to recycle these kinds of stories and it drives engagement with the people who have short memories.

This leeching effect is not true. It's a myth spread by alt-health providers.

Tip: Organize the cords into ziplock bags so they can't tangle. The freezer bags are thick enough to handle the prongs on power bricks.

You can also label and date the bags so if you decide to go against all the wisdom of the gods and do a purge of old cables.

Troll or not. Their statement is actual right wing dogma any my comment applies equally to anyone who adheres to it.

Who the fuck do you expect to make your sandwich?

You are not entitled to slave wage workers.

Looking down on those serving you food is elitist.

You would definitely would have owned slaves.

The fuck he did. He didn't say he was toxic or that he is sorry for his behavior. He said I'm sorry I wasn't the parent you needed.

That is not apologizing for his behavior, that's shifting the blame to her expectations not matching his behavior. He's asking her to forgive his behavior without actually apologizing for the behavior.

He mentions he feels terrible but not for his behavior.

This guy was and still is a huge piece of shit, at least in terms of being a father. Based on the rest of the article, it would appear he is a piece of shit in every other way that matters.

There is a lot of misinformation on what Facebook is and isn't doing. And a lot of it is pushing 10 years old.

Facebook has long had features that detect exactly what you're describing. They aren't recording it, they are fingerprinting it. The target is any ads and music that is played but it could go beyond that.

This is fundamentally no different than the way a device is passively listening for the "hey, assistant" phrase which just matches a fingerprint.

Anyone who is simply looking for immediate data transfer when this occurs is a fool. There is absolutely no reason it cannot hold the list of known finger prints and add them to otherwise normal requests. The same for anyone looking for cpu spikes; these fingerprints are highly performant and it's not recording, it's matching so Facebook can deny all day that they don't record your conversation and it isn't a lie because it's the wrong accusation.
