OP, your friend is the victim of criminal cyberstalking and harassment. This dude should be reported to the authorities

I mean, that’s just how I see it. Not disparaging anybody for their name or child’s name. Like, my parents named me Michael, and I happen to like it. But if I didn’t I would change it in a heartbeat (officially or not, it doesn’t really matter to me).
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Just my opinion, but your name is exclusively a label for other people to call you. If you don’t like it, you can literally ask to be called anything else, but how other people will be able to pronounce it or not should be at least some small percentage of the thought process. Especially considering that children can’t pick their own names when they’re born

Growing up in California (especially Southern) you learn about “Fire Ecology” and how wildfires are a normal and natural part of the ecosystem and that many California-native flora are dependent on semi-regular burns. The problem with the fires lately isnt that they’re happening, it’s that they’re happening too frequently.
Basically, don’t worry, those sequoias will outlive us all

Nah, driving is a privilege, not a right. You don’t NEED to d I’ve and you absolutely don’t need to drive while impaired. Even if you think you’re good, you’re not. There are THOUSANDS of cases of people being killed by drunk drivers who thought they were good.

Dairy Queen has been selling food since 1958. They are not “an ice cream store” any more than McDonalds is

- Comment on Are their any romance movies where there is a male protagonist who is a part of the manosphere? 3 months ago:
No, but this manosphere shit isn’t new. It’s been around since at least the “Men Going Their Own Way” movement in the late 90s and early 2000s, which me too and the Right’s culture wars are a reaction to. So yeah, watch, like, ANY movie starring Michael Douglas, or basically any movie that involves a male/female relationship dynamic and you’ll probably see a LOT of proto-manosphere stuff. (Pretty Woman?)

Like basically every movie prior to the 2010s, yeah

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?

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.

If you like paying to be a product, then that’s on you. What a good little consumer you are. I think it’s kind of weird how much you’re defending this

If you can afford a new car, then you can afford an old car. There are plenty of old cars out there with lots of bells and whistles. Some of them even PERFORM better than newer cars. You want that fancy infotainment system and remote start that new cars come standard with? That’ll only cost you about 200 bucks at Best buy.
If you are buying a new vehicle, knowing all of the issues inherent, then you are just trying to look good to your peers (ie keeping up with the Joneses). It’s just too bad the Joneses are uninformed.
Look, if you’re comfortable with paying thousands and thousands of dollars for the privilege of being spied in, then that’s on you.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Your snark is unnecessary. It’s actually really easy. All you have to do is be poor. I’ve never bought a new car and I don’t know anybody who has, and their lives are not any worse for it.

Which is an INSANE amount of data to collect from you for the thing that you supposedly own. You shouldn’t be so flippant about corporations using and selling your data and treating you like a commodity.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
But those Hondas are still probably 4g capable, right? Because, at that point, it doesn’t matter if you turn the annoying stuff “off”. Honda is still spying on you, tracking you, and compiling a mountain of data based on your driving habits.

I can’t imagine owning a car newer than like 2012. It must be a nightmare
