I’ve been known to put lots of stickers on the windows of my cars, but harmless stuff like cylinder counts, Gambler 500 event stickers, Autopian stickers, and whatnot.

You can take solace in that the point they make isn’t the one you agree with.

“Companies are using invasive technology to violate the rights of our citizens in unthinkable ways,” Paxton said in a statement. “Our investigation revealed that General Motors has engaged in egregious business practices that violated Texans’ privacy

I’m going out on a limb and will suggest that the reasons stated by dealers are complete bullshit.

“The Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) has been accused by X of costing the social media company billions of dollars as a result of an advertising boycott that it says violated antitrust laws.”

A group of companies organizing to financially hurt a competitor can become anti-trust. This is probably not one of those instances. Now if some email pops up from Meta telling GARM that they will pay them to convince everyone to pull advertising from twitter, then that could be considered anti-trust. Google finally

Saying it violated antitrust laws is not the same thing as saying it’s a criminal offense. They are claiming civil damages.

There is no government mandate to make EVs in the US, and certainly not a mandate to sell vehicles at a loss.

lol people are so fucking stupid to think that A. they’re important enough to warrant drone surveillance, and B. that a small ass drone can carry anything in the way of advanced photography or surveillance equipment in the first place.

Okay, but schools are government funded, so...

I signed in after more than a year away just to star this. Damn!

When he says “brotherhood” I keep hearing the word “Aryan” in front of it.

You can get in a lot of trouble leaving unapproved ‘gadgets’ lying around...

You can own shares of a private company. That’s what venture capital and private equity often are.

In other, completely unrelated news:

Ford F250s, Suburbans, semi trucks. All are Very Heavy Vehicles.

Thank fuck honestly, that’s refreshing. Not every damn rpg needs a dating sim built in.
