i went to a christian school and they refused to honor MLK day because “he was an adulterer” but columbus day was one of the most celebrated other than the major holidays, gee wonder why
funny enough that’s how i started down the path I’m still on, but it wasn’t over righteous anger over MLK not being honored, it was just my 13 year old self being angry we didnt get a day off when everyone else did
Columbus was never on future US soil either. I Don’t think he even landed in Puerto Rico. Maybe one of the Virgin Islands.
just need the right face
I’ll be impressed that this shit is on track when $2T company Google Maps stops asking me if I want to get off the freeway then get back on at the same exit. I mean it’s 10 minutes slower, so yeah that is tempting.
God it’s so infuriating when you’re on a road trip and stop for gas and google maps starts verbally assgasming TAKE A U TURN AND GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY
I never have the sound on.
my boomer in christ why do you have the sound on
Podcasts!
i dont even know how to turn the voice off on my nav on my car
I have never used the navigation in my truck.
you can turn off the sound notifications on google maps, or at least make it so it only notifies for things you care about
My god Riverman
It’s OK Riverman, I navigate with audio too. My girlfriend made a snarky comment about it recently and I didn’t even understand what she was talking about until now. 
To be fair it can come in handy when you’re not paying attention.
I played a game the other month, I turned off my nav and started to run errands in a city I only vaguely knew and for items I don’t normally shop for, like medical supplies. I kinda had to play this game because one of my tasks was to find a guy that could repair my phone’s battery, which was broken, and my car nav isn’t good for finding stuff like businesses so I was like fuck it, I’ll go on an adventure.
Felt like the fucking 90’s, walking into a gas station and asking for directions. All I was missing was a thomas guide. I think life was better that way - I ended up wandering into a cool pawn shop and found some other stuff I didn’t know existed before, all because I was without my phone.
I like the audio too. I don’t want to look at the screen. It’s less safe.
When I lived in China I couldn’t figure out how to get the app to stop alerting me not to take the next exit. No way I’m ever taking my eyes off the road driving over there.
I never have nav sound on, hate that shit
When I was driving in Mexico and Central America, I had the sound on, but low. That way I could hear Google maps lady jabbering and at least know I should look down at my phone.
Which is why I don’t have bluetooth, and have an ipod hard-wired to my car stereo. I need those two things not integrated with each other.
Trying to listen to music with integrated voice directions in LA is hilarious. Even if you’re supposed to go 30 miles on the 405, she’ll still interrupt you at every other exit to tell you to stay left - 2 or 3 times, always pronouncing the full name of everything involved. Then 15 seconds of music until the next interruption.
But yeah self-driving cars just minutes away.
