  I dislike a bunch of incorrect assumptions being thrown at me for making an informed decision that has trade offs.

  I think it is kind of weird how dedicated you are to trying to paint someone who owns a newer car as wanting to keep up with the Joneses and happy to have a bunch of spyware instead of responding to the words they wrote.

    I don’t care what you like, you’re a stranger on the internet. How casual you are about the trade offs you made genuinely horrifies me, and it’s just another piece of evidence to add to the pile for why our civilization is so fucked.

      I assume you pay for everythjng in cash, only use fake identities online, don’t participate in any businesses ‘memberships’ for discounts, and avoid every other possible thing that is used to track you. Wouldn’t want to jeopardize tour position up on that high horse.

        You’d be surprised at how close to true that is. I do use cash for just about everything possible, if by “fake identity” you mean not having a public facing social media account with my real name on it, then yeah I do that too, I don’t know what you mean by business memberships for discounts, so I probably don’t do that either (if this is referring to getting a membership at a grocery store or something, then I just use the local area code plus Jenny’s number- 867-5309), and my phone and computers are encrypted. That’s not a controversial or out there set of stipulations for somebody using a federated social media service.

        So yeah, pretty much. Or at least whenever physically possible. If I’m not putting an effort into protecting myself, then what am I even doing?
