20 years from now, all doors will open remotely only, for a reasonable fee payable in Doorcoin.

You will be able to upgrade to lifetime* door service.

(If you die in a burning car before the door opens your life will have ended so your estate will be billed for any additional door opening required to remove your corpse.)

Inquire with your dealer about expedited door opening service.

I think it is more that most automakers remember the Pinto and related death traps of the 70s.


or more precisely they remember a jury awarding half a billion dollars (inflation adjusted) in punitive damages for a single wreck.

it's a crime that he didn't link goatse

a whole bunch of cryptocurrency people who decided to follow me for some reason have been jumping in to tell me that actually, capitalism is good, and i am using goatse to its full effect there. one guy stopped replying and didn't get on twitter for nine hours

i already had a habit of linking my thing at the bottom of things that might have any chance at all to be seen by any amount of people, in case someone was feeling nice and wanted to give me five dollars, because my financial situation is Bad and getting Worse.

unfortunately this time some of the people who follow me and retweeted it had friends who retweeted it themselves which doesn't really happen often

i'm already disqualified by my tweets with pictures of the ESET NOD32 android alleging that he's "ready to gently caress" and with the NOD32 tagline replaced with "INDOMITABLE BIONIC PENIS"

e: re, the linking to post thing: i do that because a cool guy i follow on twitter (gravislizard) got in a habit of linking his ko-fi page after his rants about how lovely software design is and made a small amount of money off it, and because i will do anything i'm able to in order to monetize my art skills while i can't actually do my art

i drive 100 miles each way to my job, one day a week, which doesn't pay all of my bills. i'm going to be switching to full time as soon as the fire season ends; until then I'm living with my dad (doing house/yard labor for him in lieu of rent) so that I can help him pack if he needs to evacuate. all my valuable belongings, negatives, prints etc are still in a pile in the living room, having prepared them during the Mendocino Complex fire as the border of the evacuation zone crept closer and closer to the house

a lot of the fucky periods of capitalism and feudalism were in part caused by large classes of ostensibly rich peeps who were super fuckin illiquid because their holdings were in land only and land was super illiquid at the time or the only way they could get a cash flow out of the land was by mortgage or by selling, both of which they wouldn't do

in california, this was one of those times. another time was 1776 and whereabouts. george washington was the richest man in america on paper but really illiquid lots of times

may have nothing to do with your situations but i know lots of olds who are paper millionaires and seriously are thinkin about ridiculous bullshit like reverse mortgages because they are so fuckin illiquid

peter turchin has a weirdo but pretty interesting scholarly career out of basically arguing that large fuckwad periods of history (revolutionary period, civil war period, gilded age period, civil rights period, right now) were caused in large part by titanic struggles between peeps trying to be elites in society. large classes of peeps who are paper rich but illiquid is often a symptom, too. (in the 1850s-60's, they were paper rich in slaves! isnt that fun actually it isnt)

not that you're anywhere close to an elite
