Off world

I got a new car. More on that later. But it’s one of the ones with a relatively-large screen in the front.

As I was driving along today, a song played. This car grabs the album covers associated with each song from a database automatically. More than a few albums I listen to have naked people on the front, as this one did. Specifically, it was Sky Ferreira’s album Night Time, My Time which if you scroll down the cover in full can be seen here.

I don’t really want to disable the feature as I like it, but I realized that now I have to be extremely, extremely careful with this when any female co-workers ride in my car, which happens somewhat often when a group of us goes to lunch. Or any co-workers period, but I’m far less likely to be seen as harassing a male, or be reported for such.

My best bet is to make sure the infotainment system (damn, I despise that word) is off completely before anyone I don’t know really well gets in the car.

I hate having to worry about things like this, but we live in a culture of offense-taking. The off chance that I guess wrong about when to turn the stereo off could destroy my life.

Strange world.
