    I’m honestly shocked that nobody has mentioned mesh networks. It might also just scan for any unsecured network it can connect to without informing you in any way. Not connecting your TV to your WiFi is not nearly enough to preventing it from phoning home. You need to open the TV and ground the antenna(e) to physically disable the wireless capabilities. Even then, there may be other antennae hidden under or inside components you can’t disassemble.

    Short answer: No. Your smart TV is smarter than you are.

    I think I’m correctly interpreting the effective meaning of the comic. The effective meaning takes precedent over the intended meaning. Now that you know my view, do you think everyone’s response to my take is justified? It’s pretty demoralizing how readily everyone assumes the least charitable interpretation of my words when there is any level of ambiguity. Nobody ever asks me to clarify. It’s just a fucking dogpile right out the gate because this whole charade of “discourse” is a dopamine-seeking frenzy dressed up as intellectualism.

    My point is that I find it disgusting how society doesn’t seem to give a shit about homeless men but they do care about homeless women and children. Homeless women and children seem to be the main focus for most people seeing as there are so many more resources only available to homeless women and children than there are to homeless men despite the fact that the VAST majority are adult men. Society has a sickening lack of sympathy for homeless men, to the point where you can’t get some people to care about the homelessness crisis in the slightest until you inform them that some homeless people are women and children. This comic is a demonstration of that phenomenon. The comic essentially says “actually, you should care about homelessness because they aren’t all just men”

    Christ, you actually can’t find a way to communicate without patronizing. I literally do not care what you have to say about my character or personality or whatever, it’s got very little to do with the actual substance of my comment.

    Honestly this cartoon fucking sucks. Something like 80% of homeless people are adult men like the first panel. The three other panels essentially serve the message “Did you know some homeless people are women and children??? Do you care NOW?”

    So you’re just gonna read my other comment and pretend like this conversation never happened when you realize you’re wrong?

    Trying to deny and strip me of my judaism is quite fucking anti-semitic and any decent person would apologize for that. Anyone who isn’t a complete scumbag would at least acknowledge their mistake. What kind of person are you exactly?

    as you are going to pretend

    I’m not pretending to be Jewish, and I don’t need to prove it to you, fuckface.

    Christianity has always been an exclusive bigoted faith.

    If you were paying attention at all, you’d realize I agree with you. I have made literally zero comments as to the content of your post. I’ll reiterate, I cracked a joke about the FORMAT. It’s an imaginary conversation. It warrants a joke.

    Also did you enjoy the fish fry?

    I have literally no idea what you’re talking about

    You have some serious cognitive bias if you think cracking a joke about the format of your post is evidence of being catholic. The entire reason I made my joke is because I’m just sick of the in-group/out-group dynamic and the with-me-or-against-me mentality. This exchange is a great example of how I can hold almost entirely left wing opinions and simultaneously have zero respect for members of the left because they conduct themselves like children.
