    Yup. It doesn’t scare me, but I’m kinda tired of the life. I tried watching a movie last night, and not being able to watch a movie all the way through without pausing to do something else (google, fap, TW, YouTube) is getting old. The short attention span and world at my fingertips has taken its toll on my diet, my sleep, my exercise and overall ability to “live in the now” and appreciate everything around me. I feel like it speeds up time. I can waste an entire day on TW (waste is a poor choice of words) and never have had stepped outside. There are the choices... go ride my bike or make fun of shit online... obviously I’ve shown a pattern of one over the other. At some point, I’m gonna drop the smart phone man. I want to make the best of my life, and enjoy things again without being distracted and tugged in another direction. I’m willing to bet my professional life, physique, sex life, and general outlook improve greatly within the 1st month. But until I drop the smart phone-

    And yet people want listening devices from Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.

    Most people are oblivious to privacy and security.

    Bro, you do realize it's going to be $479 + your mileage. You're insane to think they will ever give anything back. Even if they did it would only be for a few years and then they would lay it back on. Don't be so eager for a tax increase.

    All the proof I need is just 10 mins down the freeway from me:

    The whole data recording/Snowden thing a while back is literally based in this VVV

    The google reviews are petty funny though...

    Yup. On Android there are a few good options to limit your exposure. I use naked browser and a VPN at all times. Overkill? Probably but Google has to actually work to get my dick pics.

    When ever I'm browsing Tacoma World. Toyota Tacoma commercials appear on the television.

    It’s still way cheaper. Even the taxes

    The upside on the Carfax is that I won't have to pay for one when it comes time to sell or trade. I always pull one because I know the prospective dealer or buyer will so we are on equal footing. Plus if something gets put on there in error, I can get it removed before putting it on the market.

    I don't think they could possibly have guessed my mileage because I put about 10K on my truck the first 6 months for work and since the last oil change which was about 2 months ago I have put about 600 miles because I have had a company car. I know their algorithms are good, but my driving habits have changed. The only records I keep in terms of mileage are from the Fuelly application.

    Agreed. But they were saying it would be a flat rate for weight but mileage would be in addition. So it would still most likely be cheaper for me. But you’re so right they would most likely add it back years down the road cause they’re dicks.

    If they are watching me I'm either their own personal Truman show or 4 of them have committed suicide in the last year. I'd really like to know which response watching my day to day life elicits.

    If you’re using fuelly, it wouldn’t surprise me if they sell that data to Google. They probably calculate out the mail time and pad with miles to account for that too.
