It’s been a mess out there, for sure.

As someone who fishes, it could be many things. First, if they leave them, they serve as great fish habitat. Fish don’t have eyelids, so somewhere to find shade during the sunniest bits of the day is great. And it breaks down into rust over time.

It could be for rescue diver practice. Sinking most of a vehicle to go mess with in a controlled setting is better than learning on an actual rescue.

And if this happens a bunch with bets and all, it could be a way of gauging when it is no longer safe to be out on the ice like you said. It’s always a gamble anyways, but that is pretty solid evidence of how safe it is if you know that body of water.

But it could just be redneck bullshittery. “The South” is anywhere 20 minutes outside of any major city in the USA. Go drive around and look, I promise it works. That’s how you get shit like this. They are everywhere.

The ICE kidnappings are terrorism.

lol is the boost pressure sensor bad?

It’s gotta be that or rings because it’s going somewhere. And it sounds like it’s all coming out of your wallet right now. 😅

I’m not a GTI expert, but have you looked at the diverter valve? Or the charge pipes and connections? Either could be leaking boost, and I had a similar issue with my Mini years ago that turned out to be the diverter valve.

Good luck!

You know, I agree with much of this. It is an echo chamber here. There is a limit to the amount of political discourse one can handle daily as well. I really, truly understand, because it drives me up a wall as well sometimes.

But it’s impossible to escape politics when “politics” is our government doing fascism. The echo chamber we are in leans pretty left and typically hates fascism. It’s escalated now that we have bombed the fuck out of Iran on behalf of Israel. We are really, truly the bad guys now and sometimes that means interrupting memes. 😕

Oh wow! Go handle it then. Be the change. Vote, protest, etc.

People that bitch about politics being in everything are often the ones who need to see it and understand it the most. We have a future dictator in office who is kidnapping citizens and starting another pointless war, while tanking the economy to new levels, but mUh CoMmUnItIeS…

Maybe the HOA should pay for his roof then? You know, with HOA fees.

I get there is nuance, but times suck, people can afford less, and HOAs have become a way for people with tiny dicks to harm others. If we used them as a a way to identify and address issues in a neighborhood in constructive ways, it wouldn’t be an issue. They are about power.

I was gonna say, that’s totally a breadussy.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Not sure how I am an example. Please explain.

And I also don’t understand how up and downvotes can form an opinion for you. If that’s all it takes for you to make a decision, then you aren’t being very critical of what you are seeing. Surface level understanding plagues right wing nut jobs like yourself.

Using “woke” unironically and getting downvoted means you are, in fact, a dumb ass.

Lynching in the US is broadly seen as an extrajudicial killing by way of hanging. Historically, that’s what it is most of the time.

You are wrong in saying that we must fight by “being creative, educating, reasoning and having the moral high-ground” because these fucks lack the ability to reason. The state of things is that it is a cult, a disease within our system and must be fought with tools they understand. Punching a nazi is not even remotely the same as a lynching, and is more akin to defense of the community.

I believe your inability to tell the difference between a nazi and historical victims of lynchings is a problem. We shouldn’t even have nazis anymore. Your line of thinking that being creative is gonna solve things is the same kind that the anti-vax idiots that have brought back eradicated illnesses have. The vaccine for nazis is violence, not horse dewormer or moral high ground.

I’m not sure how you expect to deal with people on the right that actively want to kill off anyone who disagrees with them. Unfortunately, violence must be met with violence. And no one mentioned lynching until you just did. Are you ok?

So, the Hitler problem could have just been resolved with words and policy?

“they can choose not to do that. it’s not as though they literally re-order every product the moment they sell a unit.”

No shit. Most stock systems just remove that item from current inventory, and when it gets too low it triggers a reorder request.

Corporations do not abide by ethics. They do not care about anything but increasing profits. So not buying certain things causes stock to sit, and in this case expire. That hurts their bottom line, and so it is more likely to trigger change in the form of them no longer stocking said item to sell. Are you really this dense?

By giving them your money, you are funding the operation of the plants that produce the meat. And lining the pockets of those that make the decisions to act this way. It is not meaningless.

If you don’t give them money, it hurts their bottom line and forces either change or the shutting down of the business. You can speak volumes through making more ethical decisions about where your money goes.

By purchasing meat from companies like this, you absolutely are. Support your local butcher if you do consume.

My wife and I sold our house about two years ago to travel for her job, and we are on our second rv. Full time is difficult literally everywhere, and you are absolutely correct about the expense of a full time spot in an rv park. We currently pay $700/m for an absolute dump outside of a major city in ND. That’s literally what my mortgage was before we sold the house. It’s $1000/m at the KOA up the street.

It’s fucked out there if you didn’t already have a home and fixed rates 10 years ago. We aren’t quite struggling but plenty of others in every park we have stayed at are.
