this is the only new car I would consider buying. Of course, if they did offer it in my market, it would be full of touch screens and spyware, so I still wouldn’t buy it

just ask grok, duh

the best I’ve found stopped being made over a decade ago

Toyota Matrix / Pontiac Vibe

Hyundai Elantra Touring

yep

I bought a 2012 because it was the most palatable vehicle to replace my 2008

there’s like nothing after that that remotely interests me, at least in a reasonable used price range. and there’s certainly nothing new that interests me due to all the overcomplicated shit, touchscreens, bright dashboards, and LED headlights

I finally gave up and subscribed, but only because the people I wanted to watch weren’t all available elsewhere and because I was lazy

but this year I will be canceling YouTube as my last subscription

I used to do this on Apple TV before I paid for premium. I wonder if they track that behaviour, because I swear they started showing me longer ads more often and no ads less often.

I used to back out and restart the video half a dozen times and I’d get it to play without ads. it went up and up until it seemed like I was doing it dozens of times and it would still play ads

oh gee whiz golly, I sure do love biking over there to grab some essentials and gab with the group

K = 1/2*m*v^2

no

bedroom is for quality sleep. if I want poor quality sleep, I’ll sleep on the couch in front of the TV

looking at backlit screens before bed is terrible for my sleep quality

stamina, both cardio and muscle fatigue

no more RSI related stuff that prevents me from holding a book before bed. no more falling behind because my cardio sucks because I’m too lazy to work on it more

minecraft

you show up in a mostly peaceful world and just start destroying it, enslaving villagers and treating peaceful mobs inhumanely to farm them so you can go kill more mobs that were leaving you alone

I got a ban a few times for “advocating violence” or whatever when I said “I’m surprised there haven’t been more attacks on [whatever shitty group is harming people]”

no judgement on it. just saying that I’m surprised they’re haven’t been more.

I got several bans for the same kind of thing.

didn’t realize that clearly quoting somebody else’s words so they could be discussed was me saying and meaning those words myself

pretty much all name brand chips have been getting noticeably shittier every year for the past decade

eh, I’ve stopped watching him in the past couple years.

between the trend of needing to go bigger to satisfy the algorithm, the religious stuff, and fellating the US military, the content just isn’t worth it

allegedly Scary Interesting uses no AI generated content

sorry I should have added the alternative option of “is ignorant of the fact and should be expected to be able to figure that out”

if somebody won’t think of how their actions affect others, fuck them.

I do that, but it’s not working well enough. I can do both.

same reason it’s allowed to have those blinding headlights (headlight?) and those face impaling rear corners

anyone that bought a cybertruck did so knowing full well that it’s a giant “fuck everybody but me” vehicle

I have no sympathy for them. their victims, yes. the owner, not at all.
