Concept for a porno:

Woman reclining seductively on a bed. The door swings open. The Grim Reaper walks in.

Woman gives the Reaper a husky look. “So,” she drawls. “Death has finally come for me.”

“Not yet,” replies the Reaper, and strips off its robe

the title of this porno would be called “boned”

Now when I see a person with blue eyes, I’ll know they’re a descendant of Ocean-Eyed Slut Man.

You leave great grandpa ocean-eyed slut man alone, he was just living his life

Actually, since this was determined using mitochondrial DNA, the ocean-eyed slut would be a woman, not a man. Mitochondrial DNA is passed down by mothers.

dear ocean eyed party gram-gram thank u for spreading your weird eye mutation and giving every fanfic writer a reason to know an unholy amount of synonyms for the word ‘blue’.

Okay but he’s right and he should say it.

“Smart” and “Cloud” also mean data gathering. I need to have a tangent, so pardon me while I run with this…

Here’s the thing: I’m a nerd. I want to be able to automate things in our home and to have usable data. So I want smart electrical plugs that allow me to have rules and show me what’s hooving up a ton of energy. That’s useful to me, but that’s not the bargain that tech companies are willing to strike with me, because they want to be able to gather data and sell it.

What’s annoying as hell is that every currently supported thing that does this wants to be a cloud-based application that requires me to install an app on my phone.

I. Do. Not. Want. This. 

I want my plugs on a network so I can flip open a browser on my laptop or phone or tablet and access them that way. I do not want them on or touching the goddamned internet. I do not want an information-gathering-and-data-leaking-phone-app.

The one thing that I’ve found that semi-reliably does this is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Every other goddamned option requires me to have it be app-controlled and I can’t control the data gathering from the manufacturer.

In this case, I am DEFINITELY an old-coot yelling at THE cloud.

Honestly, same. This is one of the few things that I’m glad to be too poor to afford the cool toys on. 

Same here. I don’t want my household appliances connected to the cloud. I don’t need my thermostat, fridge, or TV connected to the internet. I absolutely do not something like an Alexa. 

“Smart” and “Cloud” also mean data gathering.“

I work(ed) in tech. I have a decent understanding of what sort of data can be harvested through those things. I’m not ready to go off-grid and become a witch that lives in the woods, but there are days when it’s a tempting idea.

Also, anything that is “smart” can be hacked to become part of a bot network. 

Yeah, yeah, the local news will tell you about how your fridge can be hacked so all your food spoils but honestly, that’s pretty rare. 

What’s much more likely is that your smart fridge, thermostat, lights, oven, whatever will be hacked and then used to send out hundreds of thousands of spam emails. Or DDOS attacks. 

So yeah, in addition to the data gathering, I’d rather not have my appliances become a tool for people looking to do harm on the internet.
