“What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output."

apple is doing its best to come across as a bunch of censorious puritans, clutching their pearls at the mere mention of sex
"unspeakable games"

I looked this up to be sure, and according to the onstar website that service is specifically $300 a year and you don't get it if you don't pay. I've seen mixed messages about what happens if you don't have a subscription and push the button, apparently in some cases if you press the emergency button without a subscription a creepy voice tells you that you need to sign up.
I think people might mix this up because if you hit the onstar button itself you will talk to someone if even you're not subbed, but that's someone there to sell you service and they don't get your location. I think they may be able to dial 911 if you can talk, but I'm not even sure about that.
In any case car salespeople will say anything in order to get you to buy a car so I'm not sure if that's a trustworthy source.

I'm curious, if it's provided for free, then what else would you get if paying for it?
