Aesthetics were clearly not a factor in the design of these vehicles.

Please give me 100 Mio and I will never listen to Yoko Ono again.

It annoys me to no end when people do that. At least you are self aware and can stop this nonsense.

99%. I just don’t answer Anonymous calls because nothing good comes from that.

But there was a time where I could not even answer unknown numbers because I was in some kind of spam database and got 5-10 calls a day. It went on for weeks and they changed the number every time. Simply hitting decline didn’t stop it. I ended up setting my phone to block all calls not in my contact list (while still looking into my caller list occasionally) and a few weeks later it stopped. Now I became more trustful again.

I don’t get calls often anyways.

The whole experience of starting up my new (used) N64 for the first time on my blurry old CRT TV and see that huge 3D Mario face pop up that I could squeeze and pull. This was a truly magical console for me.

Many things. Stopped smoking, started eating healthier, cooking, doing sports, going to therapy, stopped hating myself, learning to handle my income appropriately so I don’t live credit to credit anymore, getting a dog (now my second) be nice to people and get nice back. All spread out over the last ten years since I had a breakdown when I turned 30.

One of my uncles is always extremely into collecting something but the topic is changing every few years. First it’s board games, then geocaching, then geocoins (a subset of geocaching), then it’s lego. Now it’s a soccer club but just the merch, he never talks about the players or games. He lives in a small apartment so he puts stuff in self storage or even in the basements of other family members… I guess it’s compensation for not achieving much in life but it makes that situation even worse.

Put everything I need to remember in calendar, reminders or just set a timer. Since I started doing that consistently I never forget anything.

Deal with things immediately if possible or schedule it. That also means cleaning the kitchen after I’m done eating or even while cooking.

Never close the door without me seeing the keys in my hands with my own two eyes. Even if I’m 100% sure they are in my pockets, I will pull them out again. I have locked myself out two times already, won’t let it happen again.

Yes that rule came a year after my car was released but it does not require cars to automatically adjust the speed, it must only warn the driver.

I recently drove a Jeep Avenger (2023) and it had ACC and speed limit sign detection but it did not adjust the speed based on that.

I love the adaptive cruise control of my ID3. It will not only keep the distance to other vehicles but speed up and slow down automatically based on speed limits and road features like roundabouts or turns not only by what it can see but also knows based on data from HERE.

It’s not always correct unfortunately and not usable in urban areas (should not even be allowed there in my opinion) but on highways it’s great.

But I hate the touch buttons in this car.

Blaming others for things going wrong doesn’t require thinking and being self reflecting.

Do you even care about movies if you don’t watch them in the original language?

To be honest I’m that guy. But I don’t judge anymore and German dubs are actually top notch compared to other countries. But it’s a tough decision for me to watch a new movie in German just so I can share it with someone else and I will comment on it once!

I did indeed exaggerate

I hope Mr Rowling gets some prison time.

Michelle Obama would have a huge chance.

Trump keeps his energy level up by nearly getting shot at.

When you’re a horny teenager you don’t think of that as CSAM. You think those are your classmates of your own age and you want to see them naked.

The AI tool is the problem here.

I’m so glad here in Germany they do that more often now. We have a quite a few large charging parks next to restaurants and bakeries. I just made a 9 hour trip to Denmark and it was a pretty nice experience overall. Only downside is you have to plan ahead if you want this convenience because the majority is still spots with 1-2 occupied chargers at some ugly, smelly Autobahn rest area.

Exactly what I keep saying. Do they get the job done? Yes or No? Very simple question in my opinion.

Destroys even!
