right, but once you find out, cut it off

yep, it is wrong more often than it's right nowadays

I've had to pick a new car in the last year. I chose a 2012. fuck new cars. fuck their headlights. fuck their spying. fuck their complexity. fuck their non-ownership. fuck their cost. fuck their bloated sizes. fuck their blind spots. fuck their driver assistance that interferes with my control of the vehicle. fuck their touchscreens that are absolutely useless in sunlight.

nah, pretty simple. set the preferred settings in the menu in the vehicle, then have a fob button to activate it. flash the lights to signal acknowledgement, just like locking and unlocking.

although maybe don't actually flash the lights, since everything is stupidly over bright LED now and it's rude af to be using those unnecessarily

my 2008 is now a piece of shit and things keep breaking that I don't bother to fix, but I'm considering keeping it alive even though I bought a 2012 to replace it. might want to start investigating that misfiring and why it's eating oil...

after fixing most of the issues required to get the 2012 safetied, I've come to the conclusion that I got a bit scammed and the vehicle might have been partially flooded, so who knows what else might go wrong. every task I've started on it has had a hiccup, even just replacing the license plate light bulbs - the brackets the screws for the bulb cover going into disintegrated, so I had to remove the whole trim piece to replace those. since when do things like that rust out‽

I sometimes feel like I've gone crazy for missing when "chat" referring to stream chat became chatgpt

well, yeah

but I'd still rather drive somewhere than walk there if it's really far and I have to make the trip

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

yeah not putting up with assholes is toxic, didn't you know

I guess this shows how out of touch I am because how the fuck is a peripheral auto installing software on my computer in the first place? how does Microsoft allow that?

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

sweet, I'm on the list

I take this as a good sign
