    I hate everything about the idea of paying a subscription for a…{checks notes}…car. It’s already bad enough when people are paying monthly for car payment or lease payment, now they get hit with a subscription for software?

    I hate this timeline.

      just passing by, just wanted to say i liked your content a lot.

      • your username, ‘Charles Darwin’.
      • the ‘checks notes’, bc you feel like a tired medician raising a brow when reading the umpteenth diagnosis report of ‘stupidity’ in this world.
      • the ‘i hate this timeline’, bc our actions made us end in one of the world’s bad ends.

      so please, take my upvote and my upcomment, and have a nice day.
