I bought a car. I’ve had many cars before, but the thing that’s special about this one is that there’s almost no eletronics in it. So its harder to get tracked. None of that hands free for mobiles, or GPS tracking. Just an engine, with a computer for the eletronics in the car. It’s from 2000. So not new. It’s a base color; grey. So again. Harder to track. And in this country it was one of the most sold cars during the period they made them. The reason why I wanted to get this, was it’s not old enough that you don’t see any of them on the road anymore. They’re a regular sight. So that means it fits in. Again. Less tracking. The less I get seen, the less people can follow me.

It’s weird. I have no issues doing some things, but then there’s others I don’t want to do at all because of the tracking.

I can use my computer, stream, write on a blog, have a personal website. But I can get paranoid when I have a phone or newer devices on me.

I work in the IT industry, as a programmer. So I make stuff with tracking, but I refuse to have those myself.

Maybe it’s one of those things where when you work with it, then you don’t want your own life to be like it.

If it was possible in this country I’d get rid of my phone, but sadly it’s now a requirement to have a smart phone to do anything.

You cannot log onto your bank, or any sites that require authentication with your social security number without a smart phone.

And even if you could say no, then there’s just other sites or programs that require you to get text messages, and cant be sent by email.

Steam for example requires you to have authentication.

From what I feel then we’re getting to a world where it’s impossible to sign off. You’re always online. Even if the phone is shut down. If it was possible then I’d do it. I’d get rid of the phone. This page in general is like a diary. I write about the stuff that has happened or annoyed me.

Maybe I should write the paranoid thinking on a different page? Otherwise I might just fill up this page.
