I wouldn’t put it past him to attempt embargoing the EU to spite Spain. The US may suffer for it but his ego won’t.

How about just remove the car’s ability to not be able to send messages to anything? You know, like an air-gapped PC.

You’d be better off doing the former as there don’t appear to be any services that de-ratfuck your privacy in modern cars. I was recently forced into buying a '22 Chevy Bolt but discovered a DIY method of removing some of its OnStar telemetry by following this guide:

Why can’t cars just be simply made with no communication capabilities whatsoever? The obsession with car companies wanting to collect and sell data on top of selling the vehicle in the first place is obscene.

He’s creating the humanitarian threat and saying only he can fix it by “making a deal”. What a joke of a president and a gross representation of those who voted to have him into office.

Guns have more rights than women in this country.

Snowpiercer timeline here we come then.

The creation of the state of Israel was a horrible mistake. All of its people willingly living there are complicit in this evil. One can only hope they face justice on day, when the US is no longer protecting them from the consequences of their own actions.

Who would have thought a cabal of powerful rich white men who arrange kid-diddling parties in private islands would be so misogynistic?

Hope he got a tetanus shot 'cause that thing’s probably rusted to hell.

Bullshit on my end. Just checked another person’s ability to search and see Epstein videos on TikTok. Didn’t see any censorship there.

The only way to truly avoid that outcome is with enforceable rules around consent, transparency, and control, letting drivers see exactly what’s being collected, who it’s going to, and giving them a real way to say no. That, or skip the connected car entirely and drive something that isn’t quietly reporting back every time you hit the brakes.

Yeah none of that’s gonna happen anytime soon. When my 16 year old car bites the dust my next car will be another one from that same era. I’m not letting big brother know everything about me and jack up my insurance rates for the privilege of being spied on.

A lot of places around here aren’t observing this holiday. It’s kinda sad.

The rest of NATO needs to step up and make a military exercise off the coast of Canada as a show of force that it shouldn’t be messed around with even among allies.

Why won’t France and the UK state they’d nuke him back if he tried? They’re NATO countries too and need to stand by in solidarity with an ally being attacked. Letting the orange Hitler do as he pleases will only embolden him to go after them later.

Or that the other branches of government haven’t abdicated their obligations for checks and balances. They’ve given him carte blanche to be a king in this country.

We forget the lessons of the past all too quickly.

I hope this warms Japanese perspectives on Koreans. Some of the older generational folks I’ve spoken to hate Koreans due to a lot of the propaganda they received in their earlier years. Crosss cultural exchanges like this can only help strengthen ties between them in these uncertain times.

Behold, your analog clock.

Yes. We are all normal and cool people. Be one of us.
