  • And includes ads. And needs an internet connection and only works if you agree if your data can be used “to improve their products and service”. And you need their app to control it, or it won’t work. A free app, with in app purchases. And more ads. And it has a camera and microphone for no reason which can’t be turned off. And 2 weeks after the warrenty, the fridge dies or they stop supporting the app basically bricking the device. While all you want is a damn fridge, washing machine, bike, oven, etc. which only does what it’s supposed to, longer than just 3 years.

    Back in the days you were the product if something was for free. But now at least you need to pay to have your data stolen.
















  • My 3 monsters are just plain whores. They lay on your lap so they are higher to the table, so they can steal our food from it. Cheese platter? Impossible. They are trash cans, as they collect trash from neighbors and eat the leftovers back in my garden. They are drama queens, complete terror, evil geniuses, whiny bitches, cute AF and my 3 little babies.

    Dutchie here, same for me. In English it’s easy to say 3pm or 9pm but in Dutch that would be 3 uur 's middags (in the afternoon) or 9 uur 's avonds (in the evening) so 15 uur and 21 uur is shorter to say. However, when it’s “am” I always say 's nachts (at night) or 's ochtends (in the morning) to avoid confusion. But all digital clocks in NL are on 24h. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone with a 12h notation on their phone or anything else. It’s such a standard, I don’t even think my oven and microwave have a 12h notation option.

    I think it’s just a case of uneducated ignorant Americans stuck in the past, while also having no clue there exists a rest of the world where people are not weird. Like with their imperial system and IALA buoys system (for the entire American continents by the way).
