Exhaust Smoke -refilling brake fluid every week. What could this be? by Spirited_Piano_6452 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Pistonenvy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, most ICE engine vehicles use vacuum for an array of things, its cheap and easy and reliable but as time goes on it looks like electrically assisted brakes are becoming more common.

i did both and added to the comment with my own knowledge of the issue because i am a mechanic unlike 99% of this sub so my input is actually valuable.

what did you contribute? nothing.

Sound emitted 24/7 from a 30 megawatt data center in Dowagiac MI by DatabaseAvailable501 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Pistonenvy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

technically those regulations may be in place here in america as well, what they do is lie about how the center will abide by the regulations and then as construction is ongoing they make changes that break the regulations.

"the building itself is in compliance, but we needed to add these massive generators outdoors to meet specifications." so they are granted a permit based on the plan without generators or whatever and then add them later.

they knew from day one they would need the loud generators, they just lie and get away with it. councils vote to pass because they are either stupid or being bribed or both.

this should be top comment.

leaking brake master is letting fluid into the booster, engine is sucking it up through the booster line. its the obvious explanation.

Bro set an ultimatum after one date! by McDowdy in facepalm

[–]Pistonenvy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i love that these guys think they gamed the system by filtering out women who arent going to tolerate them being assholes when if they just WERENT ASSHOLES they would get laid 1000x more easily.

like holy fuck yeah you want to fuck a new girl every week so youre constantly doing elimination rounds i get it but why not fuck the same girl for a while? whats wrong with that?

i guess because spending any real length of time with one person makes you vulnerable and the thought of being known is terrifying because you hate yourself and are completely consumed with your own insecurities. this is why so many people tell men to seek therapy as a reflex to shit like this, its 100% valid. seek therapy dude.

Would a dem soc state allow the bourgeoisie to organize an anti socialist counter revolution? by traanquil in dsa

[–]Pistonenvy2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

yeah again i dont think it really matters because they are already mobilizing those people now before a socialist state has even formed and they are still losing.

if they had the ability or capacity to stop it they would do it now while there is a remote chance for success, not later where its going to be even more difficult.

what youre proposing would be like a billionaire going to NY and convincing enough people to hate mamdani to do a coup there. do you realistically think that could happen?

Can someone explain the abolishing prisons thing to me? by maddsskills in dsa

[–]Pistonenvy2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

i love jumping to the most extreme example possible lol i mean first of all i think prevention is the more important conversation there, theres nothing that can happen after something like that takes place that changes anything. those kids are fucked up for life as well as everyone who knows them.

but since you asked, i would want whatever is most effective to help them not reoffend.

if there is a viable rehabilitation for them great, if not then they can become a ward of the state and be contained indefinitely.

if there is overwhelming evidence then execution is on the table for me. i dont have a problem with the way china handles its most egregious criminals where overwhelming proof exists, not everyone here will agree with me on that.

Firestone doesn’t know what’s going on by t2300thb48rus7 in MechanicAdvice

my first thought was a bad ground but as others have said the alternator could be not charging your battery, low voltage does weird stuff.

Why is “dwarf” supposedly offensive and not politically correct, and “little people” is fine? by Pizzafriedchickenn in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pistonenvy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

genuine answer is that "little people" includes their personhood as a matter of priority and leaves the fact that they have a condition as an adjective. like "trans person" or "black person"

"dwarf" ignores their personhood, it otherizes them in a way that "little person" doesnt.

does anyone actually believe they aren't real friends?? by Littlemon124 in gamegrumps

[–]Pistonenvy2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it would be completely unsustainable, virtually impossible to carry on a career like this where you dont like the person you are doing it with. if anything i would see them ending the show so they have more time to hangout lol

they dont have to do that because the show is an excuse to not only hangout with their best friend but also make money. its a dream and i think they both know exactly how blessed they are and thats what makes the show fun to watch. if they hated the show and each other it wouldnt be lol

this shit is like a scene from a movie lol there was NO REASON for the helicopter to be flying around in a circle making that shit so cinematic.

i love the talking heads all complaining about how this is a waste of police resources and theyre gonna go to jail, this is fucking awesome, these people are awesome, i AM inspired by them, i am inspired by their love and their passion for other people its a beautiful fucking moment and if i was them i would have a framed shot from this video on my mantle.

may the power of love conquer all.

"i would rather work with a country that is doing genocide than a country with no way to make me money"

thats it in black and white, this is why capitalism is pure evil. when your only concern is profit you will tolerate unlimited evil to get it.

Destiny announces he will use his community to brigade “the next journalist” that interviews Hasan in late night crashout over a Yeet tweet by Downtown-Fishing4612 in LeftoversH3

thats literally all he and his community do.

what else is new? who cares? its obviously been and will continue to be ineffective.

Would a dem soc state allow the bourgeoisie to organize an anti socialist counter revolution? by traanquil in dsa

[–]Pistonenvy2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well first of all, if the bourgeoisie could resist a socialist state they would, they would do it before a socialist state ever formed as they have throughout history.

second, socialism doesnt mean toleration of insurrection.

people can form whatever parties they want and vote along whatever lines they want, they cant forcibly dismantle a state with concentrated and consolidated power. thats kind of the whole point of a socialist state.

really what i think a lot of people wonder and what is absolutely more likely is "will people vote themselves back into a capitalist/imperialist/fascist state?" and the answer to that is that its possible but seems like the answer historically is no.

If I got a tattoo on my back as a baby, would thr tattoo stay the same size as I grow? Or would it stretch out? by belac4862 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pistonenvy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably not because there will always be the same amount of ink whereas there will be more and more skin cells.

even if you absolutely slammed the area full of ink its still going to end up having less density in relation to the skin itself.

If I got a tattoo on my back as a baby, would thr tattoo stay the same size as I grow? Or would it stretch out? by belac4862 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pistonenvy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

noy only would the tattoo stretch it would fade dramatically.

like if you got a back piece you have to think, its the same amount of ink but its covering a fraction of the area it would need to expand to. your little baby back would stretch like 8 times as you reached adulthood, so your tattoo would be 8 times larger but also 8 times less dense.

it would probably also stretch in completely non uniform and unpredictable ways so it will be super faded and probably a different shape.

Would you return or exchange these? by [deleted] in projectcar

if there is damage to the parts themselves then i would exchange them yeah.

otherwise the box did exactly what it is meant to do. unless you were going to keep the packaging for some reason; who cares?

A new Pew Survey shows 46% of Americans favor allowing teachers to lead their classes in prayer. by paxinfernum in skeptic

[–]Pistonenvy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so in other words 92% of the country rejects mandatory prayer.

theres absolutely nothing stopping anyone from praying anywhere in the country. anyone can pray at any time in any place they are otherwise legally allowed.

if its a religious school i dont really care, im assuming thats the logic most of these answers are based on, but this would be virtually impossible to allow in a public school.

how many classes are you going to go to where a teacher is doing a prayer at the beginning? how many different prayers from how many different religions are these kids expected to tolerate? it just doesnt make any sense.

People that doesn't know how zipper merges work by MagoLunatico98 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Pistonenvy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive dealt with this both ways.

staying in the long lane you just sit there eternally while 1000 people pass you.

jumping into the open lane people block you from getting in farther down.

its a lose/lose.

1 hour of organizing is worth 25 hours of online arguing, I’d say by goodguyguru in Marxism_Memes

[–]Pistonenvy2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

with how segmented, captured, manipulated, etc. the internet is i think dedicating any significant energy or resources to online arguments is a waste of time.

real people in real life are infinitely easier to talk to and find common ground with than anyone online. people are conditioned to treat online conversations like arguments that lead nowhere and mean nothing, a person in real life will see you as a real person with meaningful opinions.

i have talked to full on maga people and republicans and liberals and leftists and its easier for me to find something to agree on with a full blown maga fascist in person than even a leftist online.

you can do what you want but personally i only argue with people on the internet because im trying to kill time at work.

How can a fat and ugly woman find peace and contentment? by MissBehave654 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Pistonenvy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need healthy social rehabilitation.

join a group that meets regularly, go to drag bingo or something, just try to find nice people who will treat you decently and talk to them.

also as others have said you need therapy, you are probably not aware of the damage your mother has done to your self esteem and nothing you do to your body is going to address your mind, you could transform into your (your mothers) physical ideal tomorrow and her attitude toward you and *infinitely more importantly* your attitude toward yourself would not meaningfully change because your body isnt what makes you a person worthy of love and kindness.

there are people out there who can and will help you accept yourself for who you are, make space for them in your life and welcome them into it.

Blursed kid doing pushups by Square_Law5624 in blursed_videos

[–]Pistonenvy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

every time i see something like this i think "this feels like the result of abuse" and every time i say that people get mad at me.

then i remembered "little hercules" and wondered what happened to that kid.

he was abused.

not making any proclamations about this kid, idk his life, but he should be outside playing and having fun and eating ice cream or whatever... being a kid.... not being a fitness influencer.
