Kingdom of Knuffel

Pretty A-ok.

I don't really use bluetooth, i use my family could afford a new car with something like it.

We had a lot of help with affording a new car. My husband's grandfather has almost perfect credit so he cosigned with us and we have a super low payment. And because we are safe drivers we also have really low car insurance payments too.

We really need a car where we live. The bus system here sucks butt. If my husband used it to get to work it would take him 2 hours there and 2 back. He already doesn't have time to do anything else but eat and sleep.

The car is our only new thing. All the rest of our stuff is super used. lol.

Sucky bus system is superior to ours lol there isn't one out here

America sure sucks at a ton of shit but still claims to be the greatest country in the world.

In egotism, maybe

Omg tea, america hypes ourselves up way to much, we don't deserve it at all.

yeahhhhhh, it doesn't baffle me, but it sure terrifies me. I read too much history.
Oh well, I don't quite see it getting bad enough I feel the need to uproot the family and move us all just yet. And there's a number of promising counter-trends that give me hope.

The blue-tooth in cars thing reminds me of this movie my sister showed me not too terribly long ago. It had this semi-intelligent car-cyborg-thing? Herbie, I think his name was. I remember wondering if it was one of Popodoki's "transformers" movie deals but the car never changed into anything else and I don't remember anything about aliens in it, it was just a romantic comedy sort of movie with this android/AI car as the matchmaker. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be science fiction or fantasy or what.

Nationalism is frightening. Like it's okay to like your country and all, but spouting off how it's so much better than all the other countries. Especially when it's actually pretty low on like any good thing list. Is stupid.

If you can figure out how to connect to wifi you can figure out how to connect bluetooth. It's almost exactly the same. Except most of the time bluetooth doesn't require a password. Also, it's a range thing so if you get the two things too far from each other they disconnect.

I hope that he keeps enjoying it. I also hope he gets stronger too. He's very out of shape. And he keeps whining about being fat but then he doesn't want to do anything about it. It's a little irritating at times. lol.

The last bit reminds me of the current situation with history repeating and all that jazz.

Herbie reloaded? Or just Herbie. There were a lot of those movies in like the 70s-80s, then reloaded came out in the 00s.
It's not the same as transformers. In transformers they're aliens disguised as cars. They're alive but not organic? It's weird. I don't know a whole lot about it.
I'm not sure why Herbie was alive. But cars being alive or at least sort of alive is semi common. There's the Herbie series. There was a show called Knight Rider. Christine was a book that was made into a movie. I think that one was possessed. There's the Disney Cars franchise. They're super alive in that one. Like everything is anthromorphized cars. It's weird. lol.

So Herbie is like 'real life' with one little bit of fantasy in it, the living car.
Transformers is definitely science fiction, robot aliens pretending to be cars and other vehicles.
