But with the lessons learned from a lifetime of hardship, perhaps we stand a chance of not continuing the cycle. We lived the struggle, the grind, the hustle. It's just up to us to not inflict it in turn.

Oh it gets worse.

According to the full documentation, soup is a salad, salad is either quiche or nachos depending on prep style, and nigiri is toast. Notably, salad itself does not fall under the "salad" cube rule.

I don't think the African village had Chinese megacorps snatching up available real estate for rent squatting. Although I might be wrong. I do feel that its an extremely different scenario than in the US however.

Half an hour labor for replacing a steering column?

Yeah I'm gonna need you to point me towards your mechanic, because I've got a rear main seal that needs replacing, and according to those numbers I should be able to get my transmission dropped down for about a buck fifty.

Unless I'm severely misunderstanding what you're talking about.

Well then you would be wrong

That's objectively untrue on both counts. The Abrahamic God, if you assume he is real (which is a stretch to begin with) has ruined and killed a lot more folks, as written in the Bible, than Satan.

The fact that they are, factually, standard on every other manufacturer's vehicles, like you want to insist they aren't. You're clearly refusing to understand the words being communicated to you so, good luck in life I guess, this conversation is done.

I think that depends on your definitions of "mind", "hole", and "going"

Immobilisers have been mandatory in all new cars sold in Germany since 1 January 1998, in the United Kingdom since 1 October 1998, in Finland since 1998, in Australia since 2001 and in Canada since 2007.

Unfortunately in the good old US of A that is somehow not the case, but it remains a fact that it is a bare minimum requirement for vehicle security. You will not purchase a vehicle in America that is not a Kia that does not have an immobilizer.

"The door is unlocked, therefore it is fair to assume the driver wants to be able to start the car and drive it away without the key present in the vehicle"

A car door lock is trivial to bypass by any one of like four methods. What stops the car being stolen is the immobilizer chip. The immobilizer that Kia declined to install in their cars.

After 3 times she should just buy a Honda instead, those at least come with baseline security features.
