You have never had privacy from your own appliances.
They weren't able to narc on you, before.
Point being, there is no loss of privacy, there is a loss of not being narced on.

Can I point out the continuity error? #pedantic
My union newsletter included this historical photo of people protesting workplace automation.
Unfortunately, they have identified Darth Vader as a robot, which he is not.
Therefore, I am burning my union card.

That'll be at the QPR footy stadium if I'm not mistaken...
(although I think that cover photo of Steve Howe is more likely from the 1978 'in the round' tour - note suspended microphone)

I am not #pedantic. If you are right, and it does happen, rarely, I #admit it. And even if I think you're still #wrong but you have a point somewhere, I'll go #research that shit. I am the most #flexible #human you've never met. What haven't I done? Who haven't I been? I'm finally me.
I'm so old, this overheard dialogue in my local pub a moment ago made me smile quietly.
"Can I order some food?"
"You certainly MAY", the barman replied. #pedantic #middleaged #language
'Fewer.'

Listening to Radio 4βs βYou Heard It Here Firstβ, where the played the sound of a Game Boy to indicate the year 1989. However, the Game Boy sound in question in was the intro to PokΓ©mon Red/Blue, which came
out in 1996 in Japan and not until 1999 in the UK. Arguably an entire decade out! #Pedantic
Oh, so it's okay for the elevator to have its alarm button pushed, but I'm not? #rude #elevator #pedantic #sarcasm
The plural of staff is staves. #pedantic
And that is a straw man argument, because certainly, no one has claimed that in this section of the thread.

Per Gene Steratore they are playing a new football game
Does this meany bets reset?
Is it 0-0?
No it is not a new football game.

I mean generally, that speaking words is communication, is unsupported by evidence.
A skeptical observer sees bipedal mammals signaling, which is different.

US pennies are not out of circulation. They are just not being minted.
You'll have to forgive me. I amke so many of my own mistakes when typing, plus a few created by the spoll-chicker.
But I go all #pedantic when I see scientific names misspelled by experts (or is that misspelt?)
Right of way is the permission to use a footpath across a piece of land. The changes to Highway Code relate to priority π. All vehicles and pedestrians have βright of wayβ on roads. #pedantic
Agree, main chart is good communication, but second chart - the chronological order is opposite the legend. Assuming you read it left to right top to bottom itβs decreasing (as you go back in time) whereas legend states increasingβ¦ #pedantic
Henry Vacuums. You may well just have said Henry Dysons. #pedantic
Sorry but measuring long distances is in time not actual distance (I.e. itβs about 2 hours away) #pedantic
Yes, yes, I understand that it's become acceptable usage, but I still *loathe* "alright." I was taught "all right" and I will use "all right" until the day I die.
Alright is not all right! #pedantic

This argument/statement is forever shit regardless of the technology. Stop saying it. We don't live in a world where things becoming affordable hurts people; We live in one where things being unaffordable do! #Pedantic
Shouldn't that be 'Frankentron's Monster'? #pedantic #unfunny #youlaughedanyway
