  Found out this morning that my supervisor can’t afford to drive to work. He has a big truck and a long drive but… It’s already happening.

  I’m from Oklahoma and I’ve only got the five per hand. Please don’t send Inigo Montoya after me.

  I don’t think the tick marks are on the actual tram.

  I want $15. Let’s price everyone out of commuting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Checkers, not chess.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, so, what is your suggestion? The people who are directly perpetrating this war are hiding behind armed guards. Have you noticed that no rightwing politician in the US has done an interview outside since September 10th of last year?

  It’s easy to sit at your keyboard and suggest people on the other side of the ocean fight and die for your conscience. It’s harder and more time consuming to build parallel systems to support those who are against the regime.

  You probably think the media is telling you what’s happening over here, don’t you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Checkers, not chess.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Silly question for the lemmy brain trust: what happens when most people are priced out of commuting?

  Seems like that would inadvertently bring about a general strike.

  You can have fun with this.

  I used to own a Geo Metro. For those who aren’t familiar with cars sold in the US 30+ years ago, the Metro was a tiny little car with a 55 horsepower, 1.0 liter engine.

  The most frustrating part about driving the car wasn’t that it was slow, it’s that it was never slow enough. I was always stuck behind someone’s Twin Turbo GT something or other that was going 10 under the limit. And then you’d pass them, and they would drop their cellphone to make sure I knew their car, which cost considerably more than mine did, was faster. It was crazy. It didn’t matter if I was going the speed limit or even if I was going too fast.

  The worst part is I started to weaponize it. I’d see some goofball in a big lifted truck down the road from a known speed trap, and I’d pass them… They would immediately jump to the defense of their frangible masculinity, and they would inevitably fly by a speed trap at 70 on a residential street while showing me how cool they were.

  Communication is the #1 thing that’s kept my wife and I happy and together. I don’t think it’s “controlling” to let my wife know where I’m going, or for her to tell me where she is going, that’s just normal married couple stuff.

  Won’t matter if it’s right, it only matters if the person listening to the clanker believes it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand this. I’m married. My wife is the coolest person I know. I wouldn’t dare try to control her. She is too much fun.

  Slut.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla is exiting consumer space because Self-Driving has hit the same fundamental limits as LLMs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  I see you haven’t experienced pibble farts.

  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.

  But then do you have the paper tailing off the roll to the left or the right?
