Car insurance thread.

I’m always very fucking appalled at how eager liberals are to sign us all up for any and all surveillance available. I hate them just as much as I hate MAGA conservatards, but for different reasons. This commenter said it best, though.

I didn’t expect so many people on Metafilter to be defending notoriously unethical insurance companies as well as car manufacturers conspiring to collect and sell data without the knowledge or consent of consumers. I guess the argument is that in this case it’s OK because we dislike drivers more than we dislike rapacious insurance companies? Like it or not (and I’ll just repeat it here since it comes up in every Metafilter discussion about cars) lots of people live in places where they need cars to get around and they need cars to get to work. Unexpected rate hikes of 20-30% could be devastating to a lot of people.

You all suck. Why beclown yourselves so?

Checkout.

Nah, I get this look from checkout ladies now and I’m 47. Helps being super fit and hella confident. And I don’t look my age. Before I got fit, I’d maybe have one woman every 2-3 years flirt with me obviously.

Now it’s nearly every time I go out alone. What a goddamn difference!

Boeing whistleblower found dead in US.

Even it is found to be “natural causes” (which it probably will be), most likely this is was a murder. Deep-pocketed corporations are getting more ruthless again and are going back to old school just killing people.
