That makes the vast majority of managers, MBAs, salespeople and “normies” like your grandma and Uncle Bob insane.

Correct most of these people are insane, the average person is so fucking dumb and insane today its mind numbing.

Sorry you had to deal with all that profiling bullshit in the past that just sounds so infuriating and down right disrespectful, hopefully where you are at now you dont have to deal with that as much if at all.

As for the insurance rate, the only things I can think of is maybe being without a car for some period just increases the risk profile in their algorithm for deciding the rate. I’m not sure about the statistics for this, but maybe they also correlate having many parking tickets with people who have more accidents. I.e. there may be a study that shows people with more parking tickets tend to get into more accidents or something.

Hypothetically speaking, one can put a pebble or small object in their shoe to force oneself to change their gate

What does fairly clean histories mean, honestly? Over 400 a month is crazy high. Did you make claims on minor issues that should have just been handled outside of insurance, i.e. dont just factor in deductible cost but monthly increase on your premium after a claim is filed in the future? Were you getting multiple small traffic citations? One big one? Etc.

I have never encountered that bug, seems like an issue with the duck duck go not doing proper url encoding. I daily Firefox on mobile and its the best option by far with all the available extensions and of course working adblock

Ah that makes sense, I’ve never tried the SC so I just assumed they worked in a similar manner to the decks track pads. I think I would still probably prefer joysticks but now I can see the appeal for some regarding how the SC track pads work.

Is there some meta to using the touch pads? I never use them on my deck due to the lack of being able to have continous motion like a joystick. If I’ve just been using them wrong I’d love to try them out in the way that makes people rave about them

Eh I am not a big fan of the track pads, I have them on my deck and the only real useful ness for them is having them emulate a mouse in games so I can use a mouse for ui navigation instead of the joysticks or dpad. Having to constantly readjust my thumbs to keep moving in a direction and lack of ability for smooth continuos motion just makes them super impractical
