Their final, most essential command.

If your pipes inside the house are freezing, then that means the temperature inside the house is below freezing. That means the house heat is off, in which case you have larger problems.

If the house heat is going to be off for an extended time, you should be shutting off the house water supply and opening your tabs to prevent freezing. That’s the same no matter where your water heating happens.

“Come with me if you want to yiff.”

You need to spring for the flights with the in-flight dominatrix.

If Ford wants telemetry on your car (and they do) and they sell it to your insurance company who raises your rates because you don’t drive in a manner approved by corporate, you don’t get to say no.

If you search for wigs and antinausea meds, and Google sells that to health insurance who guesses you’ve got cancer and are a financial liability, you don’t get to say no, and you don’t get to argue that you were planning for a party.

If you’re a fifteen year old kid and your browser starts showing gay dating ads to your extremely homophobic parents, you’d better hope they don’t put it together because you don’t get to stop any of it.

You can control how your data is gathered, but you have ZERO say in how it’s distributed and interpreted.
