Pretty sure many of the cars sold now have a SIM card or something similar which the manufacturer pays for up front. I don't think it takes much for them to ping periodically with the information they'd like to track and this ensures they get the data.

Still, don't connect your car to the Internet, as that could give them way more data but I doubt that that doing that alone will completely stop the tracking.

Edit: typo

It's better when it's fresh! I started when 3 books were out and reread leading up to each new book as well.

I read Wheel of Time as well! Loved those too.

Oathbringer is my favorite, though I also really like Rhythm of War.

Yeah, Dalinar is easily my favorite.

The Stormlight Archive. This will be my 4th time. They're my comfort books.

The key is to accept that the end of consciousness is a feature of existence, and not a bug.

That's a good point, though I think it's also fair to say that you won't experience unending nothingness after death from that perspective, either. I can see how coming to accept that the world existed before our experience began could help one confront the world will continue to exist after our experience has ended.

Is the idea that the deadline has passed but it hasn't been as long as it looks since the deadline? Is the deadline coming from behind?

I'll have to tell my boss I'm gonna be late on my next project. We gotta figure this out.

This argument fails to account for how I feel. Reading Spiderman makes me want to be a better person.

When I looked up the definition of "Emotional Abuse". It seemed I was the last person to see it.

I never was good at being subtle.

I just went with forgoing my own self care and losing my sense of self in pursuit of meeting her ever changing expectations instead of acknowledging if come to define myself be the relationship. Not sure which is better..

Not to worry though, the papers are in the mail!
