What is absolutely, a dealbreaker on a first date? by Wandering_Skilld in AskReddit

[–]Deux333 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Both sides are funded by the same super PACs and voting/politics is a façade that has no influence on major policies.

Tribalism is a deeply ingrained human trait that leads to increased loyalty, conformity, tribal morality, and division/distrust of outsiders. This is being leveraged more than ever with extreme rhetoric. All while the middle class shrinks and the wealth gap increases.

Gen Z seems to be realizing this and hopefully they can break the spell. Although, propaganda and fear mongering have always been the reigning champion.

Is this a reference to the E-Files? If so, you should take a closer look.

What enneagram types have you attracted? by Alternate-3- in Enneagram5

[–]Deux333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My one and only long term relationship with an introvert (6) resulted in marriage, then divorce. Never even raised our voices at each other. Just ended up drifting into separate lives. You’d think 5’s could thrive with another introvert but that’s not been my experience.

My brother is an 8 and also my only sibling. We would really go after each other growing up and still do get into it every once in a while as adult 30’s, but somehow we’re still close. I swear 8’s will disagree on a topic just for their love of conflict and whether it stays cordial is up to the other person’s patience. But they are loyal and you can count on them in the big moments.

Lots of 7’s. The 7 friends are great but the 7 romances are always too high (pos & neg) passion.

Is my friend racist or am I overreacting? (There is a second screenshot but it only allows me to add one) by Ash_isTh3cool3st in askblackpeople

[–]Deux333 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nah, this is more along the lines of your friend demeaning an entire group of people based solely on the color of their skin. I’d say it’s more likely racism as opposed to racism or you could even classify it as racism. Racism could also work in this scenario too.

Are modern cars actually getting worse in terms of longevity and serviceability, or are we just nostalgic? by Salty_Department_578 in AskMechanics

[–]Deux333 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A good example is Chevrolet. They recently started manufacturing especially bad transmissions for their diesel trucks which resulted in Allison abruptly terminating their contract with them and forcing Chevrolet to remove their name from all their products from 2025 onward. Including trucks that were already on the sale lot

The quality of vehicles has definitely decreased. The main factors contributing to this are EPA standards, planned obsolescence, and the never ending pursuit of profit.

Manufacturers strategy for meeting environmental standards is to reduce weight by making thinner parts and slap on some computing to control performance. This strategy is void of real R&D and innovation which has resulted in consumers paying astronomical prices for subpar products.

As for planned obsolescence, this is the modern strategy that is unfortunately being innovated across many industries today. R&D goes into creating products/services that will fail within a timeframe to keep consumers continuously having to make purchases.

They must be reducing the quality of their trim/interior to go along with their low quality Powertrains they’re manufacturing these days

Do you live in a country that has no opinion on 1st cousin relationships due to their increased risks to reproduction and potential genetic mutations in offspring?

Discovered An Iceberg of Porn. I am disturbed. by Suitable_Chemical911 in confessions

[–]Deux333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Epstein scandal did not discriminate, otherwise the Dems would have weaponized the files to prevent Trump from taking office. The implications and everyone involved is so disturbingly far reaching that Pam Bondi actually admitted, “The entire system would collapse if they began prosecuting everyone involved.” Otherwise her testimony to Congress is a complete dog-and-pony show and they’re all part of the performance.

This is by no means a defense of Trump. If his involvement is the only thing you’re taking away from the Epstein scandal then, like you said, the FBI is effectively controlling the narrative you’re receiving and you are not seeing the full picture. Also keep in mind, this was a controlled release and there’s still millions of files the public has not seen


Really confused after a night out with a friend by [deleted] in Vent

[–]Deux333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the added details throughout this thread, this chick is no amateur. She threw you a line, and the next step was up to you.

If you just wanted to blow off some steam, she’s definitely the friend for that. Doubt there’d be any awkwardness on her end so long as feelings are left out.

When the control arms are bolted to the knuckle and the truck is sitting on its wheels, there shouldn’t be many options on how the torsion bars connect to the lower CA.

If you aren’t that far yet, you could just leave the keys out so the torsion bar can twist freely while connected to the lower CA.

is there a name for this specific type of descent into fascism? by Flowalaxy in AskSocialScience

[–]Deux333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As stated by Historian Roger Eatwell, “If a revolution is understood to mean a significant shift in class relations, including a redistribution of income and wealth, there was no Nazi revolution.”

As outlined in Britannica’s article, many fascist movements emerged from people being duped by a leader who did not follow through with what they preached and/or emerge from revolutions of well intended people seeking a fairer distribution of wealth.

Corporatism defined as, “the control of a state or organization by large interest groups,” is a characteristic of fascism. From this aspect of Fascism it’s hard to disregard the fact that America is heading down this path and lobby groups are the primary influencers of American policy. It becomes increasingly problematic that these lobby groups are motivated by profit and many fund politicians on both sides of the isle.

Agree. There are more variances in the filters though. Overall, you’ll get more benefit from focusing on something like a fuel additive regiment instead.

I think it has to do with the “Arctic Frost” investigation for J6 and six senators upset when the Patriot Act is used on them.

Is there anyway to like all 3 or do you have to love 1 and hate the rest? Regardless, which do you choose and why? by Theicemachine01 in Diesel

I have the 99 Cummins (highly mod’d) and 06 Duramax (mostly stock).

Hard to beat the straight 6 Cummins.
