I talked with the Toyota Dealer, he recommended I continue to drive my Ford Focus since it is running great so far with only 135k miles on it. And then come talk to him when I’m ready. I was kind of planning on doing that but I wanted to see what was out there. A plugin hybrid Prius might the car for me because I can charge it with electric and gas. It can go 50 miles on one charge before it starts using gas.

Some of those cameras have use like in certain buildings. But speed cameras are ridiculous. We gotta draw the line somewhere. I don’t think we should give the government that much control. Flock is already thinking of expanding to drones. We should be able to vote and consent to this. What is stopping the government from putting cameras in our houses? Our phones are already being tapped into.

I go back and forth on this. I don’t feel like I have a strong opinion either way. Flock has solved a lot of crimes that would have been harder to solve without it. But Flock has also been misused and there is some concern over how much power should we give the government over the individual. There is no expectation of privacy in public. People can film you without your permission and there are already cameras at stoplights and speed cameras. Flock isn’t just a camera, it is linked to AI and I’m not sure the extent of how much one’s personal information will be involved. We have the 2nd amendment right to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government. Democracy is fragile. Flock has the potential to give the government more power to exploit its citizens. Just a thought. But if we are to ban Flock, then the logic follows that stoplight and speed cameras should be outlawed. Filming in public is a first amendment right, but maybe we need to question this? I think most people are overreacting to Flock even though their concerns are valid. I’m still not sure where I stand, but I may be leaning towards pro Flock. What do you think about Flock?

It’s a shame that he was such a background character. That’s another mistake Lucasfilm made. He was the baddest Jedi of all of them and bested Palpatine and could even defeat Yoda.

Thanks guys. I will check it out. I don’t care how the car looks. My car won’t get me laid. I’m just trying to get places and not call triple A lol. The Honda CRV looks pretty cool. Cars are so damn expensive. I have a Ford Focus 2014 that I got back in 2019 for 5k USD. It is working great but I know eventually I’ll need to get a different car. Got it at 80k miles and it has 135k miles on it now. It does 28 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on highway. My particular model had its transmission recalled so that’s why I’m trying to plan ahead.

WOW that’s nice! Thanks for sharing! I will consider this.

Nice! That would be cool place to visit. Oklahoma USA, you need a car.

Oh yeah. Hell no. Used is better for sure 👍

Lol. Do you just run everywhere? Or live in a city with public transportation? I live in a small college town, so a car is needed.

Well, I know I’m a fast runner, but I need a car so I can drive places. I am prefer used cars over new.

I am in the market for a car they will take me places. Ideally, I am wanting a car with good gas mileage and long life expectancy/reliability. I was looking into Toyota Corolla Cross Hatchback and Toyota Prius.

Can’t wait to see this movie! We need a Mace Windu series!!

Most of your money should be in a HYSA. You should have 6 months worth of savings to live off of (10k-20k) and then invest what you can into index funds. I only do <5% of my money into bitcoin. I only do $100 a week into bitcoin.

Buy and hold. Put your bitcoin in a Trezor or Electrum Wallet. Put most of your money into S&P.
