    I have a device in my car from my car insurance company to monitor my driving

    Lmao, checks out that you’re just welcoming in the surveillance stare with open arms

      My car company is not a part of the state, and I am cheap ass. I am a good driver and I want my insurance rates to reflect that.

        I get good insurance rates, and I told them to stuff it when they “offered” to spy on me wherever i go.

        And lmao that you actually think “good driving” and “driving favored by insurance actuaries” are even remotely the same.

          you actually think “good driving” and “driving favored by insurance actuaries” are even remotely the same.

          I never said they are the same. But there is enough overlap to get me a decent discount.

            Unless you just had your rates in the absolute shitter beforehand, you have very low standards for what a decent discount is, especially when you consider that you’re normalizing them taking an overwhelming amount of data about you to create future insurance profiles for everyone.
