This sounds like it should have been posted by The Onion.

basically none of what you say is true until ~2020 model year.

Ahem. You were saying?

OnStar had cellular modems in vehicles for the last 30 years. They were not “real time” like post-2006, when 3G connectivity started to be installed, but they did dial up the mothership to upload usage data and accept instructions like whole-vehicle immobilizations in the case of theft.

Ignorance is not a good look for you.

And among psychologists, what I have said is well-established. In particular, you might want to review a very metaphor-filled but absolutely accurate description of the differences between men’s and women’s brains.

Notice the reference to emotions? Women run on them. In men, it’s incidental. It can be there, but we are punished very readily by society if it’s front-and-centre in the same way.

Ok boomer

A decade too young for that.

But at least I have eyes to see, ears to hear, and a thinking mind to process real-world evidence and facts. I’m not blinkered by ideological ignorance.

And a second ad hominem, too. You want to go three-for-three, or have you demonstrated sufficient intellectual bankruptcy for now?

They exagurate,

Sorry, everything I have mentioned is happening right now. It is no longer any kind of an exaggeration.

Repairability is under direct attack from Hyundai as one of the first traditional automakers, and Tesla has been fighting repairability for a lot longer. You try and poke at most any Tesla part, and it drops into “limp home mode” until a dealership clears the problem.

DRM/Subscriptions are found from many manufacturers now, from Honda and BMW and many others.

About the only “old news” is the privacy one, with the Feds spying on always-connected cars since 2010. And connectivity has been there decades earlier via OnStar, albeit not in the form we now call “real time”.

Wow, you really are a bleedingly ignorant asshole.

The Feds have spied on connected cars for the last 15 years.

As in, real-time uploads being spied upon. Since 2010. Because that is when the tech became truly wide-spread

And cars have been recording and sending data for a long time before that via OnStar, just not in what we view as “real time”.

Pretty much nothing that you just said is true. What car can’t you change the brake pads on without going to that brands official repair shop?

Hyundai. In terms of the major/historical brands, it has started with Hyundai, and other brands are also getting in on the act.

Plus, Tesla has been doing it for years, now. A Tesla will go into “limp home mode” with almost any kind of unauthorized repair you do to it.

As for the data one, how exactly is all this data being transmitted?

Since OnStar was first released, in the late 80s, it has gone over cellular modems. It’s how anyone with OnStar in their vehicle could have it remotely disabled from the very first OnStar vehicle onward. And pretty much every vehicle manufactured after 2006 has a cell phone SIM or eSIM installed so as to provide real-time data stream to the mothership, and by 2014 this even included consumer access to the Internet via 4G LTE services.

Ignorance is how you’ve gotten egg on your face. You might want to do some fundamental research next time.

Do you enjoy being alone?

Except that I am not alone. As I mentioned, I am married. 30 years with the same woman as of this year.

What I wrote is direct, real-world experience dealing with many different women in many different capacities over the decades.

Everyone does this. Everyone. If you're about to say you don't, you're lying to yourself.

Try being autistic. There are variants that experience almost no ego to speak of, where reactions are facts first regardless of how the person feels about something.

Plus, mature men have learned that operating through emotion is a negative-sum game to themselves, and that the best tactic to dealing with anything that affects them personally is via facts, evidence, logic, and reason. That involving emotions at any initial stage causes significant societal backlash because a man demonstrating any significant emotions, especially vulnerable ones, is seen as a weak and unreliable man that cannot be trusted to support others.

I won't bother responding to the rest because it's the world view of someone blinded by their own bitterness and anger.

Ah, nice combination of sour grapes and an ad hominem. Not exactly the most original path, seeing as how often it’s used to shame men into silence, but it’s invariably the only tool left to those who have no possible counter-argument.

Women filter things through their emotions and feelings.

As such, if their emotions and feelings don’t sit right, the truth must be wrong and needs to be changed to fit their feelings.

You then become the villain if you continue to debate from a position of factual truth and evidence, because that violates her internal narrative. And she becomes angry because she thinks that if only you cared about how she felt, you would change your facts to better fit her feelings.

So obviously, you are the toxic and evil one.

No amount of facts, logic, reason, or rationality can touch even the most reasonable of women to the same degree it can convince an average man. And I am saying this as a married man. I have learned this by painful experience.

The only way to ever debate or negotiate with a woman is to reframe her emotions and feelings such that facts and evidence just happen align with it; trying to argue from a position of pure facts and evidence in order to demonstrate the correct choice leads to a near-100% failure rate if her feelings do not agree.

Sure, there are some men who completely ignore facts and evidence, but that arises out of conservative/right-wing ideology - typically Christian-based - which invariably requires the rejection of reality in order to even exist. And there are also men who are led around by their noses by their own emotions and behave like women, but - again - it is an external imposition on them by way of them having been forcibly denied a father figure to learn from when they were younger. So they copied the adult women around them, instead.

I strongly suspect that any images of him are AI generated, and this is a psi-op.

Judging from prose like Mobi Dick, it was written at about the same time, covered 10+ pages, had 342 commas and semicolons, and was a single epic run-on sentence.

This is what we did before computer graphics.

That, and etch-a-sketch.
