By looking at it from a larger perspective. You can always get worked up about things but if you zoom out, you see that most of it is just a temporary trend. Some things trend well, some trend poorly, but these tend to be blips in the span of a lifetime.

They didn't need time, they had already decided to join the side of the nazis and were forced to switch sides.
In Düsseldorf, after the full body scan and scan of my bags, I still had to take of my shoes, put them in a box, they scanned said box with shoes and after as I was putting on my shoes, using the metal seat to lift my feet, they complained about that because people sit there. Which is a fair point, but holy shit was I pissed off at the time. I hate that airport.
They (NYT) also did a similar one on election day in November 1999, where the answer could be both GWBUSH and ALGORE with the hint "The next president of the United States". Their crossword puzzle person/team is pretty clever.

Based on how it went with nutria in Europe, that is exactly what will happen.
I want everything as dumb as possible. I will register whatever I buy with the manufacturer for warranty purposes, but other than that: dumb toaster, dumb fridge, dumb washing machine, dumb robot vacuum cleaner, dumb doorbell, dumb locks, etc...
If it doesn't need internet to function, it's not getting any.
That touches on a particularly nefarious part of guilt and why I tend to avoid it by being honest, because there always is that knowledge in the back of your mind and the consideration on whether you should come clean. I hate that feeling and it keeps my tendencies to take the easy route by being dishonest in check.
Ok, sure. I do want to point out that I simply answered the question. I don't deny my state of luxury yet also don't feel that this bout of whataboutism is entirely warranted.
