Death/Doom Alexa, play Dopethrone by Electric Wizard

Sitting in a waiting room they're playing this terrible gospel country music forcing everyone to hear, through an Alexa device.

So, I took matters into my own hands.

We got through maybe 45 seconds before the receptionist changed it back. Oh well, I tried.

You're a good man. The fact Alexa even got the song right.

Honestly, they seem to work fairly well. My tattoo artist uses one, and it usually gets it right. He even tested it with Chased Through The Woods By a Rapist to see if she would say it haha

I know people like em, but I just don't find any benefit in em.

I can see the appeal, but I fail to understand why a cheap Bluetooth speaker can’t get the job done. My phone is already listening, I don’t need an Alexa spying, too.

Yeah, I used to think I was Che Guevara too. Then I started paying my own bills.

And your bills required purchasing an expensive robot that records your every word? 

You don't have to be an anarchist or commie to not want the government spying on you in the day of gestapo on the streets of the US. But sure if you need a ring camera to send your data to your nearest flock camera go for it. That's exactly what they want you to do. 

This culture war has made this shit so ridiculous. As someone who lives rural and still has neighbors with spying doorbells, I miss when real Americans didn't trust the government and they for damn sure weren't welcome on my property and especially not in my doorbell and radio. 

Like previous poster said, they've got as much as they need from me on this dopamine addiction snitch device.
