If your representatives aren't in any way obligated to vote in accord with the wishes or best interests of the people they represent then it's definitely not any kind of democracy

Most representative democracies have no requirement for representatives to actually vote accordingly to their voters interests. This is called the free mandate.

So the electorate college works in the same way. I vote for a middle man which I trust to vote accordingly with my wishes. The electoral college is a dumb system no doubt, but it isn't necessarily non-democratic

I have had a Google home for years and I wholeheartedly agree. It is like they lobotomized it a couple of years ago?
Commands that it could do when I bought it, to my amazement (wow it can do that‽), is long gone. Now it feels like it struggles even with the most simple commands such as playing news or turning on a light.

Wonder what happened.

Edit: oh yeah, and it has become sexist as fuck. It won't listen to commands whatsoever from women. If a man tries the exact same command it executes it.
Voice models retained and all.

Well neither are your representative congressmen. Following that reasoning, only direct democracy is democracy?

That is the definition of a democracy, no representative voting?

Are you 12?

What is a 'reasonable definition' of democracy according to you?

Firefly and Futurama

Sure it does

How dare they do something if they can't do everything‽
Especially with something so minor in our lives as eating

Soldiers very much look through your data. When reports could still make it out from occupied parts of Ukraine there was reports of civilians having their phones checked

Not sure, but I think they might register heat and maybe CO² like mosquitoes do

If you can, move. Wash all your belongings and directly put them in plastic bags.

I have had bedbugs (bought at second hand bed, yay) and while you probably won't wake up from being eaten on, my partner gets intense stress from just the thought of having bedbugs again. The knowledge that these little fuckers live in your bed and will come out to eat you at night is really unpleasant.

If you have to stay at the place, be prepared that you will be eaten on until they are gone depending on the treatment.
If the infestation isn't huge pest control will probably just sprinkle some silica powder around where they live (this is like glass making them cut themselves to bits when they walk out to feed) which means you will have to sleep in the bed and let them feed on you. If they don't detect a body they just stay put, and they can stay put for a year and a half. If you sleep on a couch they will just walk over there instead, spreading the infestation.

Also they breed like hell so get pest control on that asap

Edit: oh and for god's sake do not bring more stuff there until it's gone.
