Yes it was an asshole move to remove the remote start from the key fob…

You could have just stopped there. With remote start on the key fob, the infrastructure investment isn’t needed at all, and you go back to remote start being bundled into an option package like it always has been.

These fucking corporations with their nickel and dime subscription bullshit has to end, and the only way that happens is if more people say “fuck you, I’m not buying that car because you’re trying to subscribe people for technology already built into the car”.

DuckDuckGo works fine for me, it checks most of your boxes. Not sure about the ad blocker, but I run a pi-hole on my home network so I don’t see most of them anyway.

I’m old enough now that I’m more financially secure than I ever have been before, and I still think we should tear it all down and create a more equitable system for everyone. Perhaps I’m in the minority though for people my age.

Politicians sew division, fear, and hatred knowing that this will allow them to continue fleecing everyone who works for a living. We should never forget that it’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

Eating the rich isn’t a coup de grace, it’s the beginning.

I read that in ED-209

Pack it full of tankies first.

BMW indicators work fine, they’re just designed so that poor people can’t see them.

No one:

BMW: - seat warmers as a service - Apple CarPlay / Android Auto as a service - suspension as a service

BMW can get bent.

Right. And that would stop if people quit participating on fb.

I like being up to date on what my city councillors are doing, events my local cafes host, local art exhibits, etc. Things that have tangible benefits to my community.

I’m going to say this in the nicest way possible- get up off your behind and attend council meetings in person, walk around your neighborhood, do anything except getting all your local news from Facebook. It’s literally there to show you what they want you to see, not what you want to see. Meta as a company is awful, and the algorithms they use to deliver content and advertising to you are a malignant tumor on society. Any information you get from it can easily be ascertained by walking around your neighborhood.

I was in endpoint management and security until last year. I got my A+ and sec+, and couldn’t find a job. I did actually find a job, but these fucks wanted to pay me less than I’m making in business ops now. So anything bad these companies have coming to them, they absolutely deserve it.

Or do you have an UA credit card?
