  No, man, that’s not even the answer. Why give those fuckers money? That’s like buying a home with cameras that can’t be removed because they’re built into the walls or the columns, and what they capture goes directly to “HousingCorp Inc.” Then you have to go through the trouble of cutting the cables or placing tapes or covers on their lenses. Half way through that task, you should be asking yourself, “why the fuck am I doing this?”

  Car makers should be in the business of selling you cars, that is, a means of transportation, and that’s it. Would you accept a pair of jeans that will track you? What about shoes? Hell, I refuse to buy those fucking toothbrushes with bluetooth!

  I can see a cheaper option that tracks you; sure. But it would be a choice, not something shoved up your nose. I swore off TVs altogether because all of them have “smart” features. Fuck smart features! Sell me a damn TV that is not trying to connect to the internet! If I want it to connect to the internet, then I’ll stick some HDMI device to it, thankyouverymuch.

  And we definitely agree in one thing: I will never buy a new car if it has that tracking bullshit, or disabled features that require a subscription bullshit.
