  • Some TVs have tech called ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) that literally reads pixels on the screen for identifying information about what content is being displayed. If your TV has ACR enabled, it’s possible it’s tracking what you watch, even if you’re viewing it through a device like Chromecast.

    If your TV doesn’t have ACR or the TV itself isn’t connected to the Internet, then you’re probably fine.








  • I’m not tolerating intolerance. I’m saying stripping voting rights from people is not the right answer. I’m really not sure how you got that twisted…it seems that you agree that removing voting rights and ending democracy would be a bad thing. Yet you’re advocating for it anyway? Can you explain that position a bit more clearly?

    In my opinion you should spend your political capital and energy on influencing others to vote for candidates you support, rather than spending it advocating for the end of democratic voting in America.



  • That’s the trillion dollar question man, and I honestly don’t know the answer.

    My approach is to try be a rational voice that people in my circle feel comfortable talking to about anything, and telling them honestly and assertively when they’re not making sense or when they’re spouting harmful rhetoric (sort of what I did in my first reply to you here). It is exhausting and demoralizing, but I have found that when given the opportunity, people do trust their friends and family more than the random angry Russian people in their phone.

    We have to engage with these people and try to help them, because they are going to vote and raise children in our country either way.


  • Unfortunately that’s not the correct solution. When we start taking away citizens’ rights to participate in their public democratic government, we no longer have a public democratic government. Down the line, you would lose your right to vote as well, for a reason that you think is bullshit. And it would be bullshit, just like it’s bullshit to suggest removing voting rights from Trump supporters.
