  Mostly because of my selfish perverted wife who won’t share me. But also because I have only enough room in my head for one romantic partner at a time.

  Maybe YOU can’t remove the light.

  You know that you can leave your phone at home, right?

  Unless you’ve got some expensive whizh-bang Harley or BMW.

  Hope they enjoy the oxide-filled soil and the lack of air.

  It certainly doesn’t require removing the tire from the rim. I removed each wheel, broke the bead on the side that has the valve stem, pried the tire back away from the rim, remove the sensor (mine had a convenient little part you can push to release them) then air the tire back up and put the wheel back on the car. Didn’t even have to re-balance them.

  If we want to take steps to protect ourselves from such tracking, we cannot afford to simply say “It’s ToO hArD!!!1!” with a multi-paragraph reply that took more time to type out than it took for me to remove one sensor. Can’t do it? Learn how. Defeatist replies belong on Reddit with all the other propaganda.

  1.) Lol, no I won’t. That light can be removed. Or if it’s a Ford, you can access the vehicle with Forscan and turn off that functionality.

  2.) How did we ever survive before 2008? Were there disabled cars with shredded tires every 20 feet? Was it an apocalypse of failed tires? People who don’t bother to check tire pressure won’t bother for yet another warning light on their dash.

  I still remember redditors telling me with supreme confidence in 2015 that there would be self driving cars in five years, all truckers would be unemployed, and there would be no more traffic accidents.

  I bet they don’t remember that though.

  I recall an ice storm where half the state was dark, and sure enough so were the gas stations. It was a fun conversation with my supervisor.

  The only thing better than having a perverted girlfriend is having a pervert for a wife.

  A local city proudly mentioned on the news that they had a system that could track TPMS sensors. Pretty much all cars after 2008 uses TPMS sensors that each broadcast a unique identifier to the car. They aren’t hard to remove, and you can buy valve stems that fit your car (0.452 hole) at any auto parts store.

  Just decide that anyone with a net worth over a certain amount is a pedo, and if they don’t want to be labeled and hunted as such, they need to publicly denounce the other rich pedos.

  I do this with the dual TP holders at work. Someone will occasionally flip one around.

  This movie was surprisingly good, I took a woman to see it in the theater when it came out, and fifteen years later we were still quoting it at each other.

  The flock cameras local to me only face one direction, which makes it a little easier. Still better mask up.

  Every time I see one I get curious about the solar panel. Wonder how much non-nazi stuff it could run?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They vary by enough, and have unique identifiers. And there are four of them per car, which makes it easier to build a profile for each car. This car has these four identifiers, this other car has these four, etc. Couple that with info from license plate cameras and you can track a car without seeing it’s plate.

  You can cause lot of fatigue in those goons by just having someone randomly shoot at them and run away once or twice a night.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moats are back!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Installing special combination locks to keep the food secure and the. Locking yourself in a bunker with those people sounds like an excellent way to spend the last ten minutes of your life having your fingernails slowly pulled off.

  Impenetrable

  Lol. Keep thinking that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moats are back!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They surely could.

  And we could fling stuff over the walls to make sure they don’t get a minute of quiet or more than a week with un-scorched grass.
