Here’s the one that convinced my dad that connecting everything is bad:

Your smart fridge knows what’s inside and knows you just added a 12 pack of soda and donuts to the shopping list. They sell that data to a bunch of companies, including your insurance company. They know you have diabetes.

Your insurance rates just went up for the fifth time this year because your insurance company knows what you’re eating.

And it’s a good thing you don’t drink beer or your car insurance would have gone up ‘due to increased risk factors.’ too bad you wanted to buy a new car this year.

Not only can you not afford it now, the price went up because they know you want a car. I’m sure they would make a payment deal with you though.

And every company will know all about the deal, the beer, the donuts, and all it took was sending money to whatever company had the information, and they were more than happy to sell it.

The more we allow companies to freely operate like this without regulation and without proper punishment for breaking the rules, we will continue sliding toward the hellscape of Ferenginar. For the non trekkies, it’s a hyper-capitalist species of profit-driven assholes.

Nationalist Christians?

Hmm… We should come up with a word for that.

How about Nat-Cs?

Hey! Got any garlic onions?

bum bum bum bahdadahdahdahdah

And elementary schools! Don’t forget elementary schools.

Something something think of the children! calls in bomb threat

They wear their title proudly. Openly admit it in the streets.

And yet for some reason, are allowed to continue to operate freely.

Our country goes to war for less.

Edit: A friend of mine got this shoved in their mailbox today

Totally not domestic terrorists…

Red = ded

If you don’t want ded, make sure no red.

It, along with anything high capacity and rapid firing, are perfectly designed for filling long narrow corridors with hot lead in a short amount of time.

Shotguns were just easier to carry. Still are, mostly.

To be fair, history is filled with people calling shotguns unfair for one thing or another. Like the punt guns that would take out entire flocks of waterfowl at a time…

They’re all the same Q.

Which brings about the question: Is Alexander half-Q, or did Q just steal a klingon baby…

You know, I’ve also heard people saying this. Many people are saying this.

Who specifically? Oh, I can’t recall.

But lots of people are saying this.
