Bizarre take. Most of us are perfectly capable of being aware of more than one issue at a time. One doesn't cancel out the other.

    It isn't different issues though. It is the same issue. But removing the microphone from your TV remote is literally nothing if you live in a world with cellphones or have a cellphone or even just use the internet. Your router can see your house these days.

    It's goofy.

    This defeatist mentality is exactly what those spying want you to think. Why bother trying to be more private at all right? Might as well give up entirely

    It's literally not defeatist. I'm saying there is an army coming and you are painting your nails to get ready for war.

    It might look cool, might even help you have confidence to fight better. But it's worthless entirely especially if you live in a house or go to a workplace with people that have phones, own one yourself, have a wifi network or your neighbor has wifi.
