    I see the left side of just slightly bigger than the right, so I expect one of those sides to be the ground

        That’s only on homes that have updated wiring codes.

        My grandma still has the old aluminum wiring with type A. It’s annoying as shit because there are so many grounded plugs and only so many adapters that take the grounded plug.

        And then don’t ground it. Fuck safety right

          There is the GFCI in the switch box, but yeah, both gfci+grounded would be preferable.

      Nope, the ground is a separate wire that just dangles there and never gets connected. Over the last 25 years I don’t think I’ve ever seen a utilised ground wire.
