I’m not saying it’s reasonable per se, just that it’s not as rare as one might hope. People have been killed for much less all throughout history.

Was it? Ooh damn, that fits the profile to a “T” then. I don’t follow celebrity news, I guess that she’s a pretty staunch/vocal supporter of LGBT+ issues?

Valid point, I guess, but it’s not exactly the internet specifically that’s the source of the issue IMO. I’d say that people hating specific musicians whose music they don’t like/annoys them has been an issue for aeons, but it’s harder to completely escape their tunes now that it’s played practically everywhere 24/7 - mall PAs, the cell phones of people passing you in the street, etc.

The 'net is just the most recent forum to gripe about how annoying so-and-so’s music is, although in a sense it seems to have gotten more extreme in the vacuum provided by online forums. It would take quite a bit for a conversation about an annoying lutist, opera diva, etc. to escalate to plans for murder in the 1st-19th centuries by comparison, despite it presumably happening a few times probably.

Make random jungle and peacock noises close to them. Nothing makes them want a more private conversation than the person on the other end saying that it sounds like they were lying about where they are. Sex moaning and sloppy liquid pulching sound effects optional depending on others nearby.

A Political Compass meme, in a Lemmy post’s comment section?

If the Reagan administration’s legacy is any indication, no, no it won’t. Things will continue being fucked and getting worse decades from now.

If the pay is shit, the work is shit, the colleagues are shit, and the boss is an entitled prick, there’s no fucking way I’m motivated, and no fucking way am I gonna work hard.

Giving me flashbacks to one of the worst jobs I ever had years and years ago. Within five years of leaving, all but two members of the most toxic team I’d ever worked with had quit, and the CEO had twice relocated the main office to cheaper and smaller buildings (I presume because of a drop in revenue). He treated them like shit, and they all passed it on down to new hires, effectively destroying employee morale from the top down. What a miserable crab bucket of a job.

“Frig off, Debrah!”

We’ll just have to curate a new cat picture community, with blackjack, and hookers.

Exactly right. I still can’t believe that George W. Bush was permitted to run for the Republican party. The man’s mind is like Newton’s Cradle with the five brain cells clacking together, it was brutal to watch.

Solid pick, she’ll treat you right.

They’re handsome trucks, you should find a buyer eventually. What did you snag as a daily driver instead though?

Oh yeah, the TR-6’s are spiffy AF. It’s not too late to open a dental practice if you want an E-type though :p

TBH, I’m glad to see so many on the road now that I’m seeing fewer MGBs. The Miata’s a worthy successor to foreign-auto roadster: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_MGB

Interesting idea, this bears looking into.

Something worth considering is all, no need to edit IMO.

There’s been an uptick in people interested in the older Ford F-series trucks and C/K Chevs. Barebones dash, heating & A/C system, radio, glove box. No weird electronic options, to Lowjack, nothing. I’m hopeful of some of the Japanese companies releasing new-model vehicles without all of the extra electronic baloney, but that’s a problem for another day.

I think that it was BMW or Jaguar that proposed a subscription-based seat heating option? I don’t know where these people get their ideas, it’s just wild.

You could do it, assuming that you had the genuine schematics available to you, but even something so harmless as modifying the components to remove wireless connectivity could violate clauses on both your car insurance and/or car’s warranty.

I asked an older relative about this sort of idea years ago when these systems were new, and they related to me a story about an acquaintance who had decades earlier modified the electronics on their car (automatic cabin light activation when doors open), and wound up burning to death after an accident because they inadvertently damaged the car’s electronic lock control system. I’m not saying that you need to be a Professor of Electrical Engineering, but please reconsider.
