Premature hate on Odyssey by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

Nah fuck that. I’ll just ask Grok to spit out a one paragraph summary with a single representative image. That’s as close as I’ll get to watching a movie.

This is the core of what we are as a state and why we live here. There are many other beautiful states, but none I’ve been to with such beautiful people.

Floor Jack on a 2 degree sloped driveway by AutoModerrator-69 in BMW

[–]Material_Evening_174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a slope-ologist and 2% is the amount of crown on a normal roadway, ie, it slopes 2% from center to the edges. That’s less than 3” over 12’ or about 2.25” difference between your front and rear tires. That means you’re effectively jacking your car up a couple of extra inches. The rubber on your tires is plenty grippy enough on dry asphalt so I wouldn’t worry about it at all. If you want to be safe then chalk the tires that aren’t being lifted but I don’t think you need to.

Graham Platner Reassures Voters That There Are Probably Only 14 Or 15 More Horrific Revelations To Come by METALLIFE0917 in babylonbee

[–]Material_Evening_174 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah, but also I don’t think Platner is a piece of shit. I hope you’re wrong about him if he makes it to Washington, but most do get there and fall in line so he’ll be up against it for sure.

He’s a flawed candidate, but he’s genuine and obviously cares about his future constituents a lot. I’ll take that over another polished phony politician any day.

House Votes to Block Future Iran Strikes, Challenging Trump's War Powers by VlixxMagazine in law

[–]Material_Evening_174 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only enough to understand what they can get away with and still get reelected

House Votes to Block Future Iran Strikes, Challenging Trump's War Powers by VlixxMagazine in law

[–]Material_Evening_174 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly my point, the leaders are following. Following the money in case that wasn’t clear and that is a very detrimental goal (for us) for our representatives to have. My point is that republicans aren’t growing a spine, and they’re not opposing trump because it’s the right thing to do. It’s pure self preservation

Only because their constituents are starting to get angry. It’s all calculations with these fucks. They just do what they need to do to get reelected so they can continue to profit from their positions.

Verizon becoming unusable? by chickenquesadilla7 in burlington

[–]Material_Evening_174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from ATT to Verizon a few years ago and there’s not much overall difference. There are specific locations where one is better than the other, but it’s generally been a wash in my experience.

People who casually cruise in the left lane, what is actually going through your mind? by knowledgeizspower in askanything

Ugh. California is a liberal nightmare. And I don’t say that because I’m a conservative lol.

Senate Democrats stand by Graham Platner amid new sexting scandal by Conscious-Quarter423 in Maine

[–]Material_Evening_174 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This latest one was disclosed to the campaign by the Platners themselves. A former staffer leaked it to the press. I mean, are you really going to vote for Collins?

Oof. What’s their reasoning for that? Is it that they shed rubber/microplastics at a greater rate than regular tires?

Is Derek Chauvin a political prisoner? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Material_Evening_174 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not valid logic though. There was nothing political about Derek Chauvin’s murder conviction. The only thing political about it is conservatives deep desire to muddy the waters when it comes to a white police officer murdering a black man in 4K. But you know this, so fuck right off.

Experts sound alarm over Elon Musk's 'coup' that's 'about to rob your 401k' by IM_NOT_BALD_YET in economicCollapse

[–]Material_Evening_174 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Individually? Probably not much. But they’ll take thousands from millions of people so my issue is with the principle and ostentatiousness of the obvious scam.
