    of all the stupid fucking functions that can be accidentally turned on a phone auto answer has to be the winner
    why would anyone want their phone to automatically pick up when someone calls ffs???
    maybe if you work in acid with your hands or some shit but what is that a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of people?
    nothing good can come from your phone when you don't notice believe me
    fucking karma from another universe

    I misread your post.
    I thought it was about people who call you by accident and leave long ass messages where they reveal too much info because they don't realize they on the phone.
    An auto call feature.
    Like robo calling.
    Except old people robocall merely out of being old and sitting on their phones and having everyone on speed dial icons on the screen.

    I usually don't make these type of misreads. Gotta do more neck stretches to get blood up to the brain again.


    Then I thought you meant as in permanently screening all calls.
    People that do that tend to stop answering calls.
    Or to make value decisions on who they answer for.
    This can get bad for your nature.
    Eventually people get tired of not reaching you.
    Then you get no more calls.
    Other than robocalls.
    And wonder why.

    no there's actually a feature that makes the phone answer automatically no matter what
    so someone calls you it rings once and then they are instantly on the phone or speaker phone talking or listening to what's going on
    i never knew it existed and have no idea why it would other than to bring grief into your life

    I got a new phone yesterday and that's exactly my fear - that I will call/text/IM someone (or answer their call) without knowing, and spill all my darkest most deranged secrets. I'm at about 25% of where I need to be to understand it effectively. Why is it the smarter the phone, the dumber I feel?

    so i knew this was happening and thought i had been doing something wrong or somehow set the face recognition but no, there's actually a setting for auto answer
    and if this somehow gets turned on your phone will pick up and the caller is suddenly listening to whatever is happening in the space your phone is at
    perhaps you're flirting w some girl or worse and your gf/wife calls...or happen to be talking a drug deal when your kid calls...or having a private business convo when your partner calls
    it answers and they're listening!
    why the fuck would that be on any phone and who could actually want it?
    but how can it accidentally be turned on as well?
    have to imagine every woman in the world knows about this feature way ahead of us...beware
    having just acquired a new phone i hadn't locked it yet so my only advice would be that's the very first thing you do every time

    I would never intentionally activate that feature. Should be a way to disable it permanently if you don't want it.

    You are being soft modded so you more readily accept mandatory surveillance in future.

    All societies end up like their own homebrew flavor of a North Korea if they reach level 4.

    Some will have members of each family bribed to inform on their kins misdeeds.

    Other cultures would force everyone to house a gov worker who was there to report how you lived.

    Some places were really weird and people were required to go to a wizard looking probationary officer at a big fancy courthouse and get in a little booth where you would be interrogated into self reporting all your unpatriotic activities and those of your friends and neighbors in order to win time off for good behaviour and get out of dodge and into blue heaven.
    As long as you repeat the self help mantras as many times as the wizard proscribes and that you attend all weekly group therapy sessions in the big hall and complete all the required duties of your organized reeducation commitment you should have no problem getting clear of mind and knowing who you truly are before you die so you can die content and not die looking for more content.

    Ha! I think I just came up with the next Christopher Nolan movie title.

    CONTENT.

    Is it content as in the state of being?
    Or content as in having more stuff to have, experience, watch, show?

    Made for and about the YouTube and other media creators lifestyle that is making loads of people instant millionaires while destroying anything in it's path.
    That kinda movie might make a lot of people happy.

    Or make it about how CNN viewers are only content when their content is about Trump.
    If you wanna make bucks make it Trumps.

    And have it tie back to the founding fathers.
    Happyness you have to pursue.
    Content you have to make.
    You get to choice two choose.

    I was thinking about this yesterday in the context of TSA Precheck. I'm a latecomer to that "benefit," as I dragged my feet for years. (I actually paid the 85 bucks about seven years ago, but I didn't show up in person, so it ended up being a donation to Uncle Sam - hope he spent it wisely.) So after countless trips of getting to see my wife cruise through TSA Pre, while I waited in the long line, I decided to finally get off my ass and get the clearance.

    Now first of all, on a recent flight from Denver, I have to say the TSA Pre line was not substantially shorter than the other line. Then yesterday I went into a local Staples store as a walk-in, hoping to get this taken care of. They were swamped - 60 people had appointments on the day, so they told me to make one online and sent me away. 60 people. In one store. On one day. Seems like a lot of people are getting off their ass.

    Which leads me to this. What once seemed so appealing because it allowed you to go through a very short line at airport security now seems much less so. I guess they'll tell us that it's still worth it because we won't have to take our shoes off or pull our toiletries out of our luggage. Well for me, that's never been much of an inconvenience. I just don't want to wait in the line. So I have to ask, is TSA Pre really still (or was it ever?) just a way to preserve safety on airplanes?

    People will continue to do this, and as a result the government will continue to capture everyone's fingerprints. Until one day it will be mandatory that you have this clearance if you want to fly. And that's how they'll get fingerprints on each and every one of us. And we'll accept it. "Readily," as Rube says.

    They already have my fingerprints through my profession, otherwise I might just say screw this, I'll stay home.

    It will get worse in ways you can't imagine if you dont know.
    Comfort is your killer.
    Comfort is how they get you to accept anything.
    They know humans are programmed to receive.
    So they prime you for comfort.
    They put for to you simple choices every day.
    Choice 1 do something uncomfortable.
    Choice 2 do something comfortable.
    When given the choice 99.9 percent of people will choose their own or their families personal comfort over a trivial inconvenience.
    Even if said comfort is eroding your rights and freedoms.
    Well first others rights and freedoms.
    Your comfort means someone else gets loses theirs.
    Eventually your choices won't be hidden behind a wall of good feelings.
    Eventually every choice you make leads to someone getting made permanently uncomfortable for your comfort.
    Like Kobe wanting his daughter to arrive on time for the game but having ice in your veins clouding your choices.
    The comfort of not sitting in traffic and flying above the peasants and hurrying up the pilot through bad weather are the choices we make that lead to the ultimate sacrifice to the god of comfort and care.
    That's the god of Karens.

    You must be a rube if you don't want to become a good German.
    You have not care about their shit.
    If you love their shit then you trapped.
    But a rube is too dumb to love what they can give.
    A rube is only smart enough to love what is natural, what is real and what never changes.
    Anyone too much smarter than a rube can be easily tricked because all that knowledge is a bottomless pit used to trap guppies that think they can swim with the sharks in deep water.
    Rubes don't swim with sharks.
    They swim with orcas.
    And eat shark liver for breakfast lunch and dinner.

    yeah nothing much i can say about the woman so better nothing at all
    her relationship w Ellen sure helped her and maybe left her a little confused?
    a woman in Hollywood is as fragile a thing as it gets
    sure seems like she decided to end it all and this was a suicide
    guess she thought her brother took his life in a single car accident previously
    weird stuff
