There’s just enough disagreement and “infighting” to make people think their guy is the good guy and the other is the bad guy.

When you look at the overall picture, however, things start standing out.

There was much complaining and gnashing of teeth by most Democrats, and even a few Republicans, when the Bush era Patriot Act was pushed through. One particular Democratic politician even ran on the promise of eliminating it.

Guess what? It wasn’t eliminated.

Same thing with war and attacking other nations on their own sovereign soil.

It’s still happening, and it never stops, no matter which party is in control of the US government.

“But the other side does it more than we do!”

HOW ABOUT NEITHER SIDE DOES IT! HOW ABOUT WE MIND OUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS!

Tell me again what the voter turnout percentage was?

The vast majority of us are so used to our voices not being heard that we don’t even bother voting. It doesn’t change anything.

You keep talking about how they voted “for” this and that, without even understanding that most people in the USA didn’t vote for anything at all.

Election results say it doesn’t. Because they’ve alienated a huge majority of the working class. Because blue collar workers overwhelmingly vote against the Democratic party in the US.

You can call them all uneducated buffoons all you want, but in doing so, you are only proving my point that the Democratic Party has alienated them totally.

Why do you think the Democratic party, once well known as the party of the working class, no longer holds that distinction?

Do you have any idea what you’re talking about? No.

It doesn’t matter what rural areas vote for. They’re all gerrymandered to shit just like the cities are.

The political elite on both sides have a good chunk of us fighting each other instead of them. So, congrats on falling for the same bullshit.

I dunno, what does burnt Spock smell like?

My right? Indeed.

Apple has always said this about their users. Too stupid to allow choices outside of a few curated options.

I see 80s 90s era cars and trucks running around my town all day every day.

Yeah, meant the input shaft

While true, there are syncro-less racing transmissions as well for a number of the more popular moddable cars.

First step: Get permission from my wife to date.

You can get wifi pretty cheap. A $40 router will get you wifi. You’ll also need an internet connection, however…

It is a natural consequence of tighter regulations.

I’ll just wait until the fitgirl sale…

Uh.

I drove semi trucks in the US for years…

You’d better either double clutch or float those gears, because if you don’t, you’re destroying your clutch brake, which means you’ll have trouble getting it into gear from a dead stop. That applies for both upshifts and downshifts.

Ever sit next to an old truck or bus and hear them grinding gears to get into gear?

That’s due to the clutch brake failing to stop the flywheel.

All semi trucks in the US use synchro-less manual transmissions.

When shifting a syncro-less transmission, YOU are the synchro.

The clutch in these trucks has 2 positions. You either just barely engage the clutch enough to break contact, or you depress it fully to engage the clutch brake and (attempt to) stop the flywheel from spinning.

If you do the second one while shifting a moving vehicle, you’re causing undue wear and tear on the aforementioned clutch brake.

So punish those of us who do know how to make the cheap stuff work in a way we want, by removing the cheap stuff from the market, because other idiots don’t?

Yeah, solid idea.
