An in-law of mine got a smart toaster and loves it. Her elderly mom was so excited about that she got one too. I couldn’t get either of them to express an advantage over a regular toaster, they each just like having it.

I didn’t bother mentioning possible privacy concerns, more power to them if it makes them happy.

I went to high school with a psychopath. He was a friend of an idiot friend. He beat up a quiet kid on the bus once and later tried to steal my car. He disappeared for awhile, and I later learned he’d been locked up. I searched him on the internet a few months ago because I had a feeling he’d be in prison.

Yep. He raped a girl, beat up her boyfriend, and was being hunted down for burglary when the cops cornered him (I think on the rooftop of a 2-story house). Then he said some stupid line and backflipped off the roof.

After awhile in prison he managed to get hold of the tool the prison guards use to slide the food trays while the new guard was in the cell with him. He beat the guard to death with it, then acted casual about it. There’s a video of the aftermath.

So he’s on death row now, trying to play the Jesus card.

There’s a shitty Amazon doc about him, name is Billy Tracy.

EDIT: When you mentioned knowing a truly evil person, that’s what Billy is. I could see it in his eyes from the moment I met him, just a void. When I searched him up his parents weren’t mentioned much, but what was there seemed to indicate they were as baffled as anyone about how he turned out. Maybe, who knows.

Did they even have signage up?

Something tells me you’re one of those who parks it in the passing lane going at or below the speed limit.

I wouldn’t be surprised if imposing martial law led to a series of events that culminated in a civil war.

Unless someone with opportunity eliminated Trump from office by one means or another immediately after he sent the order. This would probably be the best path to avoid having the country rip itself apart.
