Yeah even then. It’s one of those things you just shouldn’t entertain because you don’t want to later discover that a small accident actually did more damage than first realized.

Don’t bother with any car that has had any history of accidents.

I don’t know if people will want to pay for something they’ve had for free for over a decade, especially if the free subreddits will still exist.
I’d also imagine that for any paid subreddit, someone will make a free version with similar content.

If you have children, remind yourself that you want to be around for as many of their achievements as possible.
They have neither confirmed or denied it being a trans allegory. It depends on how you interpret the response Lilly Wachowski gave in an interview a few years ago:
Continuing on The Matrix, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —
No, I didn’t.
You didn’t? Tell me more.
Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrix questions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

You can uninstall a lot of Apple’s apps that come preinstalled on an iPhone. Not all of them, but a surprising amount.
I went back and looked at the articles I had read and dug a little deeper to get to an interview with Lilly Wachowski herself:
Continuing on The Matrix**, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —**
No, I didn’t.
You didn’t? Tell me more.

To be honest, her statement doesn’t seem like either a denial or confirmation to me so 🤷♂️
From what I’ve read, The Matrix wasn’t created as a trans allegory, it’s just that you can apply the fundamentals of its story to many concepts. One of the most popular interpretations happens to be gender identity because its creators transitioned years after the original trilogy ended.
I dunno, my philosophy is that cars are a dime a dozen so you shouldn’t ever settle for one with damage when you can eventually find the same one without if you keep looking.
