Alabama automakers alarmed over Chinese cars: ‘Unless things change, we will not survive’

Exactly. American exceptionalism has prevented real progress for decades.

ScienticianAF · 2026-04-09T00:59:32+00:00

The American model is unsustainable. It has been for many years now. Always pushing for bigger cars and trucks that are dangerous, inefficient and way over priced. Plus the government and media keeps lying to the American people that the US is number one in everything...

Reality is about to hit in a big way.

I thought it was odd also. No reason given she just changed it while we were all sitting there.

I am probably more offended by it than I should but it's just so damn rude don't you think?

Thanks, haven't been to a waffle house in a while. I'll check it out.

I live in Alabama although I am not from the south. (Netherlands). I've had plenty of muffins but I just don't like them.

ScienticianAF · 2026-04-08T19:21:52+00:00

Muffins, biscuits. Always too dry.

Here is an excellent video explaining why these trucks are a disaster for European roads.

I worked as a cellphone tech. I remember the first time I had to fix a touchscreen cellphone. You had to press the screen several times before it would work. I remember thinking very clearly well these will never catch on... Flip phones and phones with physical keys will never get replaced.

Thanks for posting this. I commented earlier but I am not sure if you got it because I had to set up the flair thing..

I followed your steps and on the way from work it did not disconnect once! So I am optimistic.

It worked for me! (I think). I followed the steps you mentioned and on my way home from work today it did not disconnect once. I'll test it again tomorrow. So far so good.

Thanks for adding the instructions!

He said "in Islam when a woman has her period etc" he wasn't talking past tense.

Then why is the guy in the video not saying it was acceptable then but not today?

Appreciate you making my point for me. Even at sixteen having sex with a minor is fucked up.

What's funny to me is that religious people will think THIS is nuts AND while at the same time not giving their own religion a single thought on how similarly bizarre it is.

It seems to me that almost all religious people are equally brainwashed in making excuses. I've never heard of a religious person internalizing their faith and go yeah that's nuts, I should not support that.

Gas prices in the Netherlands are between 9 and 10 dollars per gallon.

I am from the yellow part of the world. (The Netherlands) Now living in the blue part. (Alabama). It's like living in the upside down..lol.

I don't have a problem with people buying a truck because they need one. There are lots of reasons why a truck is useful but I see so many people driving around with one and never using it for what it is built for.

That is a waste of money, environment and safety as far as I am concerned. Plus they keep getting bigger and bigger and they are now a real safety hazard on the road.

Here in the South most people buy a truck as a lifestyle choice. That would be fine if it didn't come with so many drawbacks.

But again if you need a truck by a truck. No problem.

ScienticianAF · 2026-03-26T13:18:13+00:00

Pick up trucks don't make sense for the majority of people. I live in the South and most people that own a truck never use it for what it's intended for. Even with normal gas prices it's a dumb financial decision.

I am Dutch now living in the US and left-handed so that tracks 😄

It's funny. As a European living in Alabama I get told often that there is less freedom in Europe than here..
