If we get Trump in again, I wouldn't put money down betting on us getting another Democratic president ever. Which is why I'm really hoping he listens to the criticism and gets his shit together. And if he gets his shit together, I'm hoping people are willing to allow themselves to be won over. If we just stay mad cause he didn't do something sooner/enough, we are also fucked.
There are too many potential paths in which we are fucked for my comfort.

It is a standard. I don't know how you can make it not be a thing once it is implemented.
Newer versions are Homekit compatible and can be controlled over the local network.
It also helps when we can learn to not take things personally. I know it would help because I have such a hard time with that. It is one of my fatal flaws. It is something I suspect I'll always struggle with because no amount of self rationalization ever prevents that next episode of being generalized negatively and feeling personally attacked.
We're all just pushin' our boulder up a hill, eh?
By who? What lie? I think you'd have a hard time arguing that polarization isn't harmful to all groups. Did you think I was arguing that men really are monsters? Because I hate that characterization.
Polarization doesn't help anyone. Both groups are suffering as they retreat further and further into their own in-groups. It sucks and it takes a lot of conscious effort on all parties' part to overcome. And unreciprocated effort feels awful and risks pushing people away at an even faster rate.
I'm not sure we're really equipped, as a society/species to overcome that effort barrier given our current information diet (infinite) and our stupid monkey brains (very limited).
LOCAL MAN REMAINS CALM, HAS PRETTY GOOD DAY
Yes. What about that do you think is non-political? Abhorrent politics are still politics.
You sound like the selfish one, demanding someone live just so that you can be comfortable and unbothered.
