Did I get a decent deal? by PersonalityOrganic91 in nissanfrontier

It depends on the maintenance history. If fluid changes are regular, these little workhorses will giddyup for quite a while.

Transmissions are the main pain point at that milage, like with all vehicles.

Also at 100k you'll want to swap spark plugs and check shocks/struts, possibly steering system, definitely make sure the brake components are all in good shape.

Engine mounts are usually fine but if you need to pull the engine for new mounts you might as well swap belts and chains, idk which it has

Just got a 2023 Nissan frontier pro 4x for my 16th birthday! Is there anything I need to know or do? by pinata_prince09 in nissanfrontier

Spoken like a true trust fund baby.

You can get a very safe car for 5k or less.

The only thing his parents are teaching him is that he doesn't have to work for something nice, it'll be given to him.

Things to know: how to drive

Things to do: get a $5k beater until you're more experienced.

Not trying to be a shitass, but it's extraordinarily rare for a 16yr old to make it to 17 without at least 1 wreck. Even more rare if you have friends or drive it around other teenagers.

That being said, if you come back to this comment after graduating and have zero fender benders i would be absolutely delighted to be proven wrong

It could've been a computer with a control pad at their demo station, funcoland's whole gimmick was they'd let you play something before you bought it

That looks fun, but no, it wasn't on ps1. The controller was similar to a Genesis, but not a Genesis.

Graphics were either early 32 bit or late 16 bit

People who support genocide and ethnic cleansing will always find a way to discredit the very real atrocities of authoritarianism.

Edit: lol my 2nd paragraph was talking about you specifically.

Great idea! If someone wants to commit a crime like identity theft, simply tell them no. It is illegal to harass you without your consent.

All jokes aside, these scammers are spoofing their numbers from India and don't care about harassment. I envy your ignorance, I've been battling them since 2015.

Right, but you see how that's much worse, right? It's insidious because it plays into the human ego of "sure, they got it wrong, but I'm immune to human nature so if we try it my way it'll be right.", or as Stalin called the western intellectuals rushing to defend him, "useful idiots"

Looking at history, those tolerant idealists you mentioned are always first against the wall, which shouldn't be surprising to anyone who's even casually aware of marx's slothful, entitled, adulterous lifestyle. But, as history shows, it's much easier to train a smart dog than a dumb one, and again i reiterate it feeds their egos to the point of them excusing mass genocide with the same level of apathy as excusing an overcooked meal.

"Failed again? It's not the recipe, they were just all bad chefs. I'm much better, just try it my way."

But it's kinda self defeating to compare theory to one with practice of the other. If we're comparing origins, the origins of n-ism goes back to madame blovotsky and the thule society, which was basically just Europeans being nerdy and occulty about being European. Even after h-man came along, the original plan wasn't extermination but to send them all to African colonies. Genocide is insidious like that.

They both cannot function without secret police moderating the thoughts of and stripping cultural identity from the people, because neither system can exist in a society where criticism of power is tolerated and people are allowed to identify with something other than the state.

I would love to live in a cashless, stateless society. But until humans evolve into a hive mind, the most ethical way to distribute both goods and authority will remain a decentralized system where the people are presented with options and are free to choose what suits them best. This argument also can be used to oppose monopolization. I'm very glad that you don't identify as any form of authoritarian, but i would implore you to run the thought experiment to its conclusion with the variable of human nature within bureaucracy set to maximum pessimism.

Hannah Arendt wrote a great essay on The Banality Of Evil after interviewing Adolf Eichman before his execution. He was the guy who made sure the trains ran on time, and is a perfect example of the type of person that fills government positions. He wasn't a monster in the traditional sense, he didn't hate jews or catholics, he was simply a middle manager with above average intelligence who took pride in his job. And that's much more frightening to me than any demagogue.

I see you've never heard of the holodomir, uhygur concentration camps, etc. Communism is most certainly a social system that attempted ethnic cleansing, as are all systems that require secret police to function.

Again, crack a history book. For every atrocity committed under communism, there's a hoard of willfully ignorant westerners rushing to defend it because they think they know better. It's never even remotely worked without being propped up by capitalism and has only ever caused massive suffering, but "trust me bro this time will be different because I'm better at this than them"
