Also how many are repeat callers.

"Hey Bert, Old Man Jenkins called in another Santa Clause, do you have eyes on a plane around the airport?"

"Sure do, Tina. Small single engine is making it's approach now."

"okay thanks. I'll give you another ring when he calls in for the 243rd time this year..."

Back when I was a teenager in church, some of the local cops would be talking shit about the "crazies" they would arrest, and apparently one guy would call in about UFOs every time the nearest air force base used the training airspace that was overhead. Multiple times a week, and I guess never listened that it wasn't aliens.

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.

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...

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.

My old school didn't understand why none of us wanted to use the shiny new dark green playground equipment on the large flat freshly sealed blacktop.

Never mind the fact that it's too hot on the pavement, the tar sealant smells horrible, and the color choice of the equipment guarantees 2nd degree burns...

We wanted the grass and wooden equipment back. But the school though wood was too much maintenance, And grass grows too much.

I'm not gonna go check to see if kids are even using it anymore, but satellite imagery shows the playground is still just as gross.

And here I thought I agreed with the Haitians, and thought that people like John Brown did nothing wrong...

Turns out I'm Big Mad?
