False equivalency. Rather than using “lol”s in your response. Educate yourself and try again.

So, none of it is true unless YOU believe it to be true. The CIA must show you all the evidence to a private citizen, exposing field assets and other secret techniques, just to satisfy your personal bias, or it didn’t happen.

Which is precisely what the CIA does, as well. They are not required to tell the truth to the public. I don’t know where people have suddenly stumbled upon this newfound credulity regarding CIA messaging,

Good observation. But, seriously, what is with this age group of white males and trucker hats? It is like they wear them everywhere. Then we can try and figure out why, what looks like his mom, is wearing sunglasses.

As someone who flew every week for years and years, they nearly always blame the weather or maintenance. Both are excluded from compensation. And, yes, I have had an airline MANY times board a plane, and even take off, knowing they would never reach their destination then strand you in Boise or somewhere till the…

Several people have tried with you and you just troll on. If you are just “you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit” MS Fanboy, then continue just getting what you get, The rest of us want something better in the products we buy. You back and re=read your own post and see that you are now arguing with…

Family sedan that does 0 - 60 in 5,5 and tops out at 155 mph all while getting 27 - 29 mpg on the highway, i would say that is pretty interesting.

It really is money down the drain. Was going to mention to the other posters about my twin turbo 3 liter hitting 170,000 with zero mechanical problems changing full synthetic every 15,000 miles. Unless you are at risk of contamination, 5,000 is not “insurance”. It’s wasteful.

Exactly what I was going to post. I have a 1996 F150 still on the road. No major repairs other than similar to what was mentioned here. But, it is the YEARS that weigh heavy and cause plastic to break, hoses to crack, blocks to rust, gaskets to fail, wires to break, etc, etc, etc. I have had very little mileage…

Grab a used BMW 535i. Good acceleration. Fantastic gas mileage for the power. Seats 5 comfortably. Great highway cruiser. Plenty of options for service and parts. Engine that wins awards year after year. Have over 140,000 on mine now. Just replaced an ignition coil. Other than that, no real issues.

Stay away…

Because if the updates worked for your two machines, then the guy responsible for the 500,000 windows systems at Exxon worldwide should be totally cool with auto updates, amiright?

Much more unpleasant when those 40 things are closed for you, in the middle of the night, or when I walk away for lunch, or in the middle of drawing a part.....saved or not, because Fuck Me, that’s why. Updates are far more important than any $10M project I could possibly have up on my screen. Fucking *Ta-Da!* Here’s…

Almost nobody cares about the mandatory updates and reboots. It just seems like more do since there is a very vocal minority, as always.

Oh yes. Let’s do the sanctimonious point-by-point thing.

Since you are pretty much admitting this things go on, maybe have some sympathy for the neighbors now?

Reading comprehension, man. Where did I ever say the cars were not safer. Go back and read my post again.

Of course you would know all this if you bothered to read.

It’s a post-truth world. Politics has become a reality show. High road is never going to cut it.

“Every woman should be respected for her choice”

It must take a real idiot to lead a presidential campaign for less than 3 months, and convince electors to vote for universally despised and unqualified candidate.
