Has anyone else noticed how new cars come with all these built-in features, but you can’t actually use them unless you pay a subscription fee?
The hardware is already installed and included in the sticker price, yet they’re still charging extra to access your own navigation, music, heated seats, and more. How is this even legal?

🏴🇬🇧 Before 1830, nobody had a lawn.
The rich had their grass cut by scythemen. Ordinary people had no garden worth speaking of.
Edwin Budding was an engineer in Stroud, Gloucestershire. Working in a textile mill, he noticed a machine using a cutting cylinder to trim the surface of cloth.
He looked at it.
And thought about grass.
He built a machine with a cutting cylinder mounted on a wheeled frame. Then pushed it across his garden at midnight. At midnight. So the neighbours wouldn't see.
It worked.
He patented it in August 1830.
Within twenty years the Victorian suburb was born. The striped lawn. The neat garden. The Sunday morning ritual.
Every suburban garden in America. Every cricket ground. Every football pitch. Every golf course on earth.
Traces back to one man. In Stroud. With a cloth machine. At midnight.
Right now, somewhere in the world, someone is cutting their grass. And they have no idea who Edwin Budding was.

Have you watched The Manosphere with Louis Theroux on Netflix?
As the Dad of a 17 year old son, I think @jimmycarr is spot on.
What do you think?
