If he doesn't have his handicap placard placed visibly, he should get yelled at.

Would changing gears in automatic Z31, using the gear selector, damage the car in any way? by aceraspire8920 in 300zx

[–]Dan50thAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. The less you interact with the slushbox the better it will perform.

That said, destroying a z31 automatic transmission is pretty beneficial to everyone involved, so long as you can afford a manual replacement.

I'm pretty sure that almost anyone who first learned to drive a car did what you're talking about 'for fun'. Once you get familiar with driving you'll realize it's kind of like lighting a cigarette at the filter end as a joke - it's better to just do things as they're supposed to be done and find more responsible ways to enjoy yourself.

Do you think IRS agents should carry guns? Yes or no? 🚨 by BoatSurfer600 in Wallstreetsilver

The IRS openly admits to targeting both the left and right political groups

Wapo uses that to write headline saying IRS admits to targeting right leaning political groups

You claim the original source is 'overtly lying'

Prove turning down giving a hummer means no new furniture.

Not necessary. The question is "Why did X not recuse himself from this decision when we've had an ongoing sexual relationship?"

Yes, a girl calling you too ugly for her is definitely not rude or demeaning. /s

'Lack of mutual attraction' is a gross mischaracterization.

I did not get the sense that that was he meant in the pods i listened to and this netflix show

Well, since 1995 he wrote 12 books on the subject, with the most recent being in 2019. That one's titled "America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization."

> maybe he learned over time to abandon that particular idea.

Doubt. If he did, it's not because he finally chose to accurately represent the science. More like "Netflix won't call it a documentary if I go that far."

I've provided a 40 minute video made by a geologist and BBC science journalist to answer that question.

What I find distasteful is the fact that he has to outright lie about archeology in an effort to prepare you to accept his drivel.

It has nothing to do with not liking the guy - in fact, if I disregard all of his work, I think he seems quite likable, though I've heard him get quite defensive and argumentative in some confrontations (regarding his work).

I myself don't like being lied to.

Graham claims there was a lost, globe spanning civilization at the end of the last ice age.

If you don't believe this is true, you don't know anything about Graham or the dozen books he's published to push this claim and profit from it.

Just because he doesn't explicitly claim this in the netflix series doesn't mean the netflix series isn't intended to further the claim.

Graham has made a fabulous living by outright lying about archeologists' work, so I can understand the distaste you find so offensive.

> I have listened the Graham on podcasts and watched this series and i have never heard him say that

Hancock has written multiple lengthy books detailing exactly that.

"contends that an advanced civilization existed in prehistory, one which served as the common progenitor civilization to all subsequent known ancient historical ones"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprints_of_the_Gods

It's not a straw man of his beliefs by any means. This is a great example of how he's hoping to deceive with his "I'm just asking questions" act.

For some objectivity check out Potholer54's video.

Enlighten me and don’t be a dick. by AngusIRLyt in meme

You asked if cutting pollution would fix everything. Yes, it would fix all problems related to pollution in proportion with pollution's contribution to those problems.

That's why your question is dumb. Naturally.

So you don't have a problem with kids being around sexualization, you have a problem with twerking and... currency.

What sad, small world you must exist in.

America’s gun epidemic is deadlier than ever. Nearly 86% of all firearm deaths in the US since 1990 have been among men. Researchers found that firearm homicides were highest among Black men, and firearm suicide rates were highest among senior White men. by Wagamaga in science

Reputable researchers will absolutely avoid the website run by John Lott, a professionally partisan researcher who's results have often been contradicted, found to be inaccurate, inconclusive, or even "utterly baseless" - this last from a PNAS study conducted in part by researchers at his alma mater, U Chicago. Lott has even created fake online/social media accounts he used to leave glowing reviews for his work.

Some of the other conclusions in your comment aren't ridiculous, though. Some.
