All meme communities (and shitposts) are auto-blocked every time I see one.

Listen

There is only one way to make people talk more than they care to. Listen. Listen with hungry earnest attention to every word. In the intensity of your attention, make little nods of agreement, little sounds of approval. You can’t fake it. You have to really listen. In a posture of gratitude. And it is such a rare and startling experience for them, such a boon to ego, such a gratification of self, to find a genuine listener, that they want to prolong the experience. And the only way to do that is to keep talking. A good listener is far more rare than an adequate lover.

Ewww... I won't downvote you because I've already placed myself on the block to take the hits by mentioning butter in the first place but I really want to.

Yea! There you are. But you missed the right spice - US Navy guys swear by salt not pepper (obviously, Naval coffee is dredged from the bilge). Thank you for showing your true colors so I can ridicule you ;)

@qwet I came here looking for the freak who said "butter" so I could mash the downvote button but I can't find him. Go ahead and downvote me in his stead because that idea simply deserves it.

If you like his writing go to his website http://craphound.com and read some of his books. He has some good stuff - been following him for years.

@Haus I'm less concerned about the potential for homeowner's mis-use and much more concerned about that data being outside the control of the person who installed it. Personally, I like my smart home stuff to be self-hosted and self-contained and if I ever choose to share it that will be 100% my choice.

The #federated posts show up in your feed like they're supposed to. Hover over the post's author @darkstar and you will see where he posted from.

How can I follow Christian on this kbin platform? I've only just joined and don't know my way around but I feel confident that if he lands on a platform he likes I will like it too so I want to follow after tomorrow.
