They're immediately letting them go on scene, the more disturbing part of this is that they're serving as security details for ICE Nazis.

What does blame have to do with it? Everything. That is the entire problem with cops, they get away with literally everything, including shooting her and making her basically apologize to them for the story now being about her... Maybe your meme format should include one without an actual backstory if you want to invent your own.

The left being progressives -- democratic socialists and socialists, the Democrats as in neoliberal leadership such as Schumer, Jeffries, Durbin, Biden, Obama... etc. Defended as in standing behind them when they're blamed for nonsense or scapegoated as anti-American. Ilhan Omar comes to mind. Did any Democrat defend her when she was being called a terrorist because she's a first-generation Muslim refugee with criticism of American capitalism?

Perhaps while we're explaining obvious meanings, you can explain why the cops, who were not blamed for shooting a reporter live on camera because the cops have too much power over media for them to criticize, are equivalent to leftists, who are blamed for everything? Memes which are reaches to this extent seem desperate. I wouldn't want to be in a mind so riddled with logical holes.

Probably couldn't be further from the truth on this one. Even her own station refused to blame the cops ("leftists" in this analogy). When have Democrats ever defended the left? Let alone when they're harming their own personal chances. See: David Hogg trying to purge ineffective old guard and being crucified for it.

Going through this too, but I believe it is actionable, and things such as working with nonprofits and protesting the collapse in all of its forms is the way to relieve the guilt. I think stepping away hurts me more, personally, than devoting my time. It's like making eye contact with a victim when I empathize with these massive movements, and tuning out is like lowering my head to break that eye contact.

Everyone is different and has different levels of mental anguish over all of this, so if you feel it is beyond what you can handle, then do not engage until you're healthy enough to do so. It takes a lot of personal contentedness to be permanently there for other people and it's not your fault if you aren't there yet.

Didn't get in trouble, but did get called after class and chastised for arguing with my science teacher that her description that current electricity was useful and static electricity was useless had an exception of dusters, aren't those useful? She was furious that I questioned her lesson and told me to accept it or shut up next time. Pretty universally hated teacher.

Newsom is as republican as the last republican governor, and he definitely wants to kill the homeless more. Don't hold your breath. He just wants to be talked about so he can have a failed run for president in 2028.

I appreciate a good bagpipe. Especially when they share a lot of tonal similarities with violins like this nightwish instrumental. https://youtu.be/yOxGlXmPusI

Probably multiple reasons. If it's a throwaway account they may want to cover the tracks. If it didn't get a response they were looking for, they may delete and recreate to avoid the double posting rules. They may have posted on the wrong account, or maybe the answer was so obvious they were embarrassed.

It should be pretty easy to pick out federal government plates, but I'm not unconvinced that they use rental cars to do the kidnapping.

Imagine only spending money at your place of employment because to spend it elsewhere would mean there's a trade deficit with that business. This is as dumb as that.

I worked retail in banking, so we saw them all the time, Kevins too. Kevins mostly just yelled and belittled you, Karens would try that, then resort to made up facts. For example, Karen give us an obvious counterfeit $100 bill. We say it's not worth anything and we legally have to keep it. She does the Karen stuff and then calms down and says, "Wait, the other teller gave it to me, so you're responsible for the counterfeit and I'm just giving it back." This resulted in people digging through the cameras to verify only that she received money, all in 20s.... Karen had by then went to whine to her loan officer and he said to draw it out of the bank's loan account... She got her way and wasted everyone's time.

Maybe Elon was on to something when Grok tagged everything with an unrelated diatribe about farmers in south Africa. Perhaps every AI model needs to be an activist about one random topic so we can tell them apart. Or ya know, maybe congress could do stuff to require their output be reverse searchable so we could just match up the output to what people say...

Now all Democratic leadership need to do is not align with Elon, challenge impossible?

Isn't he a big investor in Palantir?

So is your brother, Musk. Gotta love when the shittiest people you know air all their dirty laundry.

Miles of the most angry archetype of white dads broken down waiting for the same single Tesla charger within 50 miles. I wonder if it'll hit harder if there's no engine bay to pretend they're working on while the tow truck is on the way?

Don't really see a major disagreement here other than the direction of primary exposure, belts some how being protected behind a fan when the main exposure is from the sides, etc. Puddles have a lot more corrosion potential than rain/snow. Point isn't to seal, that's unrealistic, but rather to deflect enough that every puddle isn't pressure washing your engine bay with salt water. An example car where this was a major issue was a 97 galant, which had the crank shaft low and in alignment with the water jet from the driver side tire. There was a splash shield that directly intercepted the inner spray. I would classify that case as more than nominal protection.

Edit: Maybe you're working mostly on RWD cars, could explain our misunderstanding. I mostly work on FWD Sedans and AWD SUVs

Understandable. Civics are quite well made, so I wouldn't expect it to immediately become a rust trap from some short term splashes. Generally, mechanics will tell you other stuff is wrong, but it only matters if it's adjacent to what they're working on for liability. They may find some problems like a glazed dipstick from going too long between changes, but it's just informational.

If you're interested in putting that plate back on, my guess is that they used plastic zip ties on a metal shield. Usually, manufacturers will only use more expensive metal guards if it gets hot in that location. You can buy metal cable ties real cheap that will hold up much better. Fasteners are also cheap if you can figure out which one, but I dunno if I'd bother on a car that's on its way out in my mind.

Recommendation is just to prioritize it before Winter weather.

Sorry your money situation is so dire. Credit can be the hell that keeps on giving.

Seems to be about money. Belts, rust damage, and engine internals cost more in the long run. Do they have to pay their credit card bill? "For the record, they don't...." Zip ties must be expensive now days.. damn tariffs.

I dunno, Tony Stark was smart with demonstrated engineering talent. Elon has been misunderstanding the laws of physics, mostly entropy, for his entire career as something other than a paypal lottery winner.
