Or you use confirmation bias to tell yourself it’s an innocuous use case that won’t hurt anyone.
Or you use the bandwagon argument of “everybody else is doing it, so why can’t we”

- Comment on Is a gooner the same thing as a wanker? 2 weeks ago:
To add to your argument: if someone said someone is a wanker, without further context I’d assume they mean they’re an asshole. But if someone called someone a gooner, I’d know immediately that they’re referring to someone obsessed with masturbation.

They’d probably think they won’t make the same mistakes, or that it’s a reasonable trade off.
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 1 month ago:
But a kid born into abject poverty in an undeveloped villiage, spends his whole life scraping by in suffering always hungry until succumbing to a slow painful death – no good, no meaning.
But what about if they grow up to become a mob boss or billionaire or supervillian as a result? 😅

- Comment on Are display sizes always measured in inches? 2 months ago:
It’s a bit like how in NZ you can order a “pint” of beer, and the bartender will fill up a random size glass around 400~700ml 😅: you can buy a 30" TV, and if you measure the diagonal, it’s around 79-82cm 😅

I think there’s a few options, in order of increasing cost:
- get a really cheap one
- get an older one that uses a defunct connectivity method
- modify one to remove/replace any telemetry modules
- build it yourself from scratch using parts from ali express or similar
- get a shop to build one for you
