(English doesn’t work like that people use cringe as an adjective therefore it is one, it’s an extremely flexible language.)
(Flexible also allows for criticism of extant usages.)
We’ve nested enough folks haha.

Is it really faster though? All you have now is two routes with a roughly equal amount of traffic on. One of those routes will be a massive detour.
How do you know those routes have a roughly equal amounts of traffic? Or that there’s only two routes? I usually see at least three possible routes with my commute (with some forking), and at least one shortcut. During heavy traffic one optimized route can at least save 10-15 minutes than the slower one(s).

I don't know why people don't seem to understand what I mean when I say "I don't want any kind of lit-up screen in my field of view for any reason". Why would I care about speed traps or road obstacles? "Poor traffic conditions" isn't really something I can do much about, either.
The response is to “it didn't occur to me that people might not remember how to get places in real life”, which is a rather limited understanding of why people might use navigation. I am not here to preach to you the benefits of this technology, simply clarifying an additional use case. There’s no need to conflate your own needs or tastes with the rest of the driving populace, either. Also, those notifications can li…
I don't want audio alerts for anything either. It's really simple - I don't want anything in the car that beeps, flashes, lights up, makes noise, or indeed does anything that is not directly part of making the car go in the required direction at the required speed.
Hello -- this is mine! There's a short URL: https://NoToAI.org If people have suggestions I'll add them.
Wanted to suggest &udm=14 added to Google search URLs to omit the AI overview and other frills. Personally, I use Chrome's search engine settings to add that param automatically when searching from the browser url bar. I also came across this: https://udm14.com/

Most of the places I drive, there aren't really any practical alternative routes that don't add several hours and often things like a ferry journey to your trip. I don't want audio alerts for anything either.

It's really unlikely that you're saving any time at all.

You choose to have that perspective and be subject to that locus of control. Where do you really draw the line? How do you feel about money? How do you feel about eating to stay alive? Ultimately, this is not a philosophy debate. If you're confused about what work is, that's your own problem. The business is still to blame.
I'm not saying it isn't, but I don't have a shred of sympathy for the developers manning the ovens. Pick a job that isn't actively harmful to society. If you're responsible for the system at Facebook that serves endless brainrot to people, starvation is too good for you.
