I don’t own a cloak, but I’m 90% confident that they’re more convenient than coats/jackets

That’s a bingo…

Honestly it sounds like you might like some of the aspects of EVE Online

But depending on cost, in my hopeful optimistic universe, that could mean bringing back replaceable batteries.

Human brains have the strangest triggers.

‘This exact thing will definitely kill me, this nearly identical thing is fine.’

Existence is wild.

I feel like my oats have been disparaged. The peasantry demands an apology.

If/when this happens it will just lead to a rise in aftermarket products to disable the feature.

Hell, since they will probably use AI to parse the audio you can probably use it to fuck with your friends. Like when people would put out hyper-specific FB ads but via cars.

What has helped me with this was seeking out local bands and seeing them live. Check out local bars with live music nights or open mics, wander around the biggest city in your area and look for interesting flyers and stickers, or [other useful advice].
