I paid 1k for my shitty pickup in 2018, it's in worse condition than when I got it, and about 100,000 more miles on it.

It's supposedly worth 3500 now. It needs about $300 worth in parts alone to get it into what I would consider a condition worth buying.

I don't understand.

If it's what I'm thinking of, camera footage of a vehicle interior.

Driving down the highway, going under an overpass when a brick gets tossed by some kids and goes through the window.

Passenger hit, husband is driving and screams.

You know that scream they mention in The Princess Bride? That "only someone experiencing ultimate suffering" can make?

If you know, you know.

They like complaining and "being right" is more important to them than being helpful. Whether they are right or not is immaterial to the facts. Whatever the issue is they just need to be seen being right about it.

Incidentally that's a common trait among narcissists.

Well, when the people in charge make abiding by laws means you sit quietly waiting to die, protesting is illegal, dissent is illegal, and even having a negative opinion of them is grounds for being mentally unfit, well there's not much you can do inside the confines of their laws.

Laws are not inherently moral or just. They will have to be broken, and by many MANY people. As my dad used to say " 'you can have my guns when you pry them from my cold dead hands' just leaves you a crazy lone gunman dead in the street" he was just making fun of movies when he said it, but to me it's a call to organize.

In fact, I'd wager that they accomplish the opposite of what they claim. How many people see their reaction to mods, and decide "nah I'm not buying anything from them"

I know I do that. I'm sure others do too. So now rather than buying the game to mod, I'm avoiding anything from the company for quite some time.

Hey, so all the people who told me they need their guns "to fight tyranny"... They're gearing up, right?

That's how I've been pronouncing it in my head when I read it.

I still say "Twitter" though because that and the gulf of Mexico are the only things I feel are okay to deadname.

"yeah this thread is discussing how the American people are actively burning teslas and dealerships and all that but ameriturds totally won't do anything"

I'm watching news every day about how the Turd Reich is cracking down on anything that opposes them, but yeah the people totally aren't doing a thing.

The pearl clutching of many non-north American people is becoming nearly comedic.

It's always been "you shouldn't lump everyone on that label as the same because they aren't" up to now, so it sure is "confusing" as to why suddenly all Americans bad.

No, that's a jpeg representation on your screen of a photo of a rock.

If the punishment for doing nothing is death, the punishment for speaking up is death, and the punishment for acting out is death... Well what's stopping the masses from breaking out the guillotines?

Oh right, tons of us are still under the illusion of some kind of social contract being honored by all parties, and are so afraid of losing what little scraps they have they don't want to stick their heads up after seeing so many get beaten down.

I want Star Trek, not Mad Max or Water World.

But like.... Skip ww3 and the eugenics stuff... And the romulan and klingon wars...

The utopian future where energy is renewable and replicators make SCARCITY the only thing that's scarce.

This is not "I am an American and you should let me in" it's very much "I'm fleeing my country for political persecution please allow refugees in from this shit hole country"

Good to know nationalism, inhumane conditions, and good old fashioned concentration camps are acceptable as long as it's "hurting the right people"!
