I just removed that in my Google Messages app today. And just now in SwiftKey. I guess it came packaged in an update. It’s annoying, I never asked for it, just one day it started suggesting them in the autocorrect. Dumb.

A few points to be had: we are (probably) arguing about viability in two very, very different worlds. I am predominantly small-town & country. Somebody from Chicago referred to our one big city as a “small city”, lol. So for where I live and our lifestyle, pay lots are frustrating AF. Dumb AF. By & large unnecessary. Hell I only know of a few in the area. My experience with pay-lots is when I visit larger cities like Chicago, I think Nashville at one point.

Now I can see how people that live & work in a bigger city, land usage is at a ridiculous premium. You’re all living on top of each other. Big, empty, free parking lots would be a waste & headache. I can see city dwellers, more used to the nonsense, maybe with a streamlined process to park & pay (passes & whatnot) can benefit. I’m all for helping the taxpayers.

Pay-lots are just a part of somebody else’s life that I don’t have to (and do not want to) deal with. But I say…respect the car boot, pay the fines, because the alternative is worse for all of us.

Doesn’t matter. They’re all pretty cheap & there are tricks to getting them off. What really will fuck you is they enter in all your vehicle information, they’ll grab your address & everything, and they’ll legally harass & fine the shit out of you.

Everybody involved kinda sucks. None of this is okay. I think it’s pretty fucking stupid, to pay for parking, to pay parking tickets. BUT: the alternative to all these cute little boots & wasting your time, money is they physically yoink your car & impound it in a towyard. Which is annoying AF. So instead they boot it & hope you’re a decent, normal person that doesn’t crack car boots.

…so if you find your car booted, unless you want to encourage them towing away vehicles all willy-nilly…just pay the stupid fine. And try not to park in pay lots in the future.

I am on the right, and yes, he’s right-grifty AF. Always has been. I’m sure my opinions on KR wouldn’t be received well on Lemmy (not that I care too much), but we’re probably in agreement here: …why is this little boy relevant? 🤨 Like why should he be a ‘thing’, years later? He shot some people, that’s it. So what’s the formula here? Go to rally filled with violent criminals while open carrying, shoot people, ???, profit? Not a KR fan by any means.

I was watching some YouTubers & KR was there for some reason, and they were waiting in anticipation “to see which college he’d choose!! 😍” they had 2 hats & he was going to grab one, put one on & I’m just like GUYS…I. Do. Not. Care. I just don’t care. ¯\(°_o)/¯ It was SO strange watching him turn into a celebrity.
