Yes, if and only if the car manufacturer is the one paying for it. Otherwise the buyer is still taking on an unknown cost when buying the car in the form of an unknown number of insurance premiums.

The odds of this happening are of course zero.

Depends on how you want to do it: via a VPN like Tailscale, Cloudflare tunnel, etc.

And the gratuitous association between random brand X and random hot person Y surely also serves a purpose, like subliminally telling your lizard brain that you'll become like hot person Y, or succeed in mating with them, if you buy brand X. That explains the problem, but does nothing to make it less of a problem.

You're both right because you're talking about completely different things.

Volume is the biggest problem, sure. Content is a close second. I was flabbergasted last time I was in the USA. Ads have barely any relation to what they're selling.

A poster for shoes features a full-body shot of a half-naked model, the shoes barely visible with the whole poster within your visual field at once.

Ads for beer, travel agencies, clothes and antidepressant medicine, which should be illegal to advertise, by the way, are indistinguishable from each other: just a few happy 20-somethings in a nonspecific late afternoon outdoors setting.

A bunch of ads I saw I don't even know what they were for, they just had hot young people and logos for companies I never heard of. No text, no nothing.

Several ads purporting to sell an "experience" when they were for the most mundane, use-it-on-autopilot products you've ever heard of. The products were so forgettable I can't remember an actual example, but picture an ad selling you on the wonderful experience of using the new ad-supported monthly coat hanger subscription service and you've got it.

Ads for lawyers (something else that should be illegal) were on point though: "hey, do you want money you know you don't deserve at all but can be argued in bad faith that you do? Hit me up".

Oh, and everything is perpetually half-off, because the American consumer is apparently too stupid to realize that just means they're lying about the price.

It works on 99% of consumers. As long as preventing the enshittification from stealing your data requires effort and knowledge, this will continue to be the case. Hence the arms race between enshittifiers and human beings, two grouos that are mutually exclusive.

And Gen Z is heavily right-leaning due to the piss-poor quality of education and all the manosphere propaganda over the last several years. It's going to continue to get worse for a very long time before it gets better.

My brother in Christ, you're the only one who even mentioned character stats.

Specifically what evidence released by the investigation do you feel characterizes the alleged killer as left-leaning? I have not seen any such evidence.

You should get it for free elsewhere. Don't give this asshole your money.

This is a deflection, not an answer. He's also allowed to say she refuses to wear a T-rex costume in bed, but if it's irrelevant why say it?

Another generation using the text from the I Ching as a prompt. This time it was hexagram 41 - Decreasing, with old lines in the second and sixth positions.

 
 

I made this image by prompting Flux-dev with the Image, Decision and Fifth Yao texts from the 64th hexagram (Wei Ji) in Alfred Huang's translation of the I Ching.
