Well, the fine print on the FREEZED PEACH types is: “offer only good for cons.”

Xitter is a Nazi hang out, taken over by a sympathizer. No explanation needed.

Remember that absolutely fucking stupid ad Ajit made about using the net? Awful.

Well, people like Newt and Rush have been at it a long time, so we probably don’t need that much help.

I was not taking issue with leases, just commenting on the notion of a cost over and above a lease/car payment.

I just wonder how much of a market there is in fixing these issues for consumers. As in, giving people FULL ownership of their own cars…and to hell with ridiculous corporate “laws” like the DMCA.

I hate everything about the idea of paying a subscription for a…{checks notes}…car. It’s already bad enough when people are paying monthly for car payment or lease payment, now they get hit with a subscription for software?

I hate this timeline.

I always think of Ben Stein’s comment in that Frontline episode on the Secret History of the Credit Card - people that pay off their credit cards every month and pay no interest are called “deadbeats”. Around the 11m 30s mark…as it goes for credit cards, it goes for so very many other things. If you can afford an upfront hit or what have you, you pay less than people that are in a worse financial situation.

I have not read it yet, but do they have any countermeasures people can take?

Never stopped using it.

Wow, that went swimmingly.

These dingles are gonna flex like this just before another Covid surge, I guess?
