      I think we need to look a bit back in time for the answer:

      “If they pay a penie or two pence more for the reddinesse of them…let them looke to that, a foole and his money is soone parted.”

      — From Dr. John Bridges’ Defence of the Government of the Church of England, 1587.

      I only purchased this toothbrush from Amazon because that was the only way to get the water-resistant Alexa speaker that I wanted for the bathroom.

          I only purchased this toothbrush because that was the only way to get the water-resistant Entertainment Center/Speaker/Corporate Surveillance Device for the one room in my house that is the least comfortable, has the worst acoustics, and has the strongest expectation of privacy, and also I can’t just put a regular Alexa in like a plastic bag or something because I blew my plastic bag budget on a fucking app-controlled toothbrush or whatever the fuck this is supposed to be, jesus christ
