You don't have to say "over" at the end when you're writing things out.

Your sentence is what Brian? Over.

Someone help me, my overpriced and non-unique status symbols are fighting!

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Funny, but there is no such thing as an overpriced status symbol.

How would they wireless charge when it's being held in their hand? Only explanation for not using a turn signal.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Nah they just can’t be bothered to pay for BMW’s add-on Turn Signal Subscription. For only $5000 per year, any BMW owner can get access to up to 50 blinks per month.

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is the blinks counting each instance of turning on the indicators or the blinks themselves? If it's the latter BMW drivers might only have enough blinking quota for a single turn sitting at a red.

Eh, the joke works both ways as 50 turns is still probably only a day's worth. I just wanted to be fun and add a bit of substance since you (probably intentionally) was vague on the specifics.

[–] Mbourgon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think they’ve been doing this the whole time, and that’s why BMW drivers never signal,brake at the last second, and roll though lights,,,?

[–] baked_tea@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Nah they just forgot to refill the blinker fluid again

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Ha ha, joke's on them. It's the only wireless charger I've found that doesn't work with my case on so I never use it!

[–] BassaForte@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

As someone who owns a Supra, good thing I don't have an iPhone.

BMW continues the tradition of being an asshole

Bmw wireless charging: exists
New iPhone: breaks

Must be bmw's fault, flawless logic.

[–] maeries@feddit.de 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If it only affects iPhone 15, it could as well be an Apple issue

Apple continues the tradition of being an asshole
