It gets so boring

It starts so boring. I barely made it through the first season and some of the second. It was sooooooo fucking dull that I gave up on it around the time what's his name dies in the desert.

That looks like a really bad photoshop until you look closely. Then it just looks really bad.

Over 1/3 of our voting population sits out every election (probably double that in non-presidential years). If even half of them showed up to vote, they'd see how much their vote matters, and why republicans go out of their way to suppress voter turnout.

"This shitty company has been shitty for 20 years, why do we care" is one of the most fanboi, dickriding responses possible. Why are you riding for Nintendo so hard given their shitty anti-consumer practices?

The only way that works in practice is to either have a second admin who gets the order while the first is talking to their boss, or you have a non-technical person with a break glass account that can do it while the admin is in that meeting.

I've had to be the second admin on more than one occasion and it sucks to be the one disabling your coworker/friend when they get fired, but it's part of the job.

Most of this can be achieved in other ways (like a smart plug measuring the current draw

Idk about other people, but this is actually harder than you'd think. I've got zigbee and zwave hubs in my house for my home automation system, but there's really not anything that uses those technologies and has the screwy power plug my washer has. I grabbed some inducement sensors (I think that's what they're called), but I can't use them near my washer since they have to be hooked to the line to have a reference and my washer is too far away from my fuse box.

I haven't had an issue with an unbalanced load since I started using a front loader. Mine washes all our blankets without issue other than the >15# weighted blankets, and that's just me not wanting to risk my washer to not go to the Laundromat.

Did I miss the part where they argue it's a bad thing?

The context is a kid using it to get out of doing shit, so I'd say it's a bad thing based on the reason for using the argument.

Except in this example, it's a kid using the argument to get out of "anything and everything". This isn't a necessarily a nuanced situation, this is using their own logic against them because they think they found a cheat code to not doing what they don't want to do.
