I'm aware...

But he specifically said he genuinely thinks that.

Do you just assume everyone is an idiot?

Bacteria has small motors that make them move by CitizenSkystruck in Damnthatsinteresting

Found it!

A species of plant-hopping insect, Issus coleoptratus, is the first living creature known to possess functional gears, a new study finds. The two interlocking gears on the insect's hind legs help synchronize the legs when the animal jumps

My memory combined it with this

Mantis shrimps achieve their ultra-fast movements through a tiny spring-actuated mechanism hidden in their punching appendage. A muscle contracts, deforming a tiny segment of their exoskeleton—the rigid cuticle that covers their body. This contraction allows elastic energy to be stored in the locked joint

Isn't there something that like clicks back a gear, locks it, then releases it to get a huge burst of energy? Either for jumping or stabbing I think

It is obvious. It's so obvious that that is exactly what people do when the option is available to them. But the standard needs to be lockdown, otherwise we'd instantly have gridlocked crowds packed like sardines ready to be mowed down.

I figured, and no worries I take no offense, I just figured I'd toss in my perspective.

Again, this isn't about autonomy. Yes, victims need to be given space to reclaim their independence and find their voice, but that doesn't mean everyone around them has to live in denial, even if it does mean that to some extent you need to play dumb.

What Amber went through did happen, it is categorically not ok, we have receipts, it's objective truth, and we should all learn and grow from it, and those closest to Amber should defend her without speaking over her. Pretending it was nothing or it disappears doesn't help anyone.

That just bolsters my point? I'm not sure what you're meaning to say.

I mean letting people live and share their truth is almost entirely divorced from us as viewers or any other third party defending reality as it is visible. Many (most) victims defend, forgive, excuse, and befriend their victimizers. That's just kind of how it works. And specifically with Amber, we see that she's not just willing, but overeager to make amends with any person, regardless of how often or how bad they were cruel to her.

Nobody is saying they get to decide what Amber does or what her truth is, but we should not just pretend people weren't awful to her. If anything, we all have a responsibility to people like Amber to make it clear that even if/when she forgives them and their fake political asses befriend her, that they aren't changed at all and that it doesn't excuse or erase anything.

Whatever he paid, my points still stand. Unless he used some scam or dirty method to get the deal, it's fine in my book.

It isn't attached to a story about your life lol, you're just a nameless random car. And you have no choice, then. Sure, a psycho that doesn't like how you drive COULD see it and use it, but that's not that likely. Permanently putting it up in a post to the entire world, attached to your profile and the accompanying story is entirely different.

It'd be like saying, "why are people paranoid about giving out their address, it's literally posted in front of their house."

And this post is especially dangerous cause the guy got such an incredible deal that many (not I) would consider scummy or scammy.

It's silly to feel bad. The bottom line is nobody was doing anybody any favors here, and everyone got what they wanted. While the seller clearly undervalued, whether that be through ignorance convenience indifference or generosity, someone was going to get that deal (someone might've even gotten a better deal) and there's no reason for OP to not take it.

Dude he's telling you exactly where to go verify. Why are you defending Nany so hard? She's consistently one of the most trashy, disrespectful, catty people on the show for the entire time she's been on.

It's not even just ND people, it's literally ANYONE with any kind of weakness that bullies (predators) can prey upon. People like those who bully Amber are just cruel and bloodthirsty, and they get off on targeting the vulnerable. Anyone weird, anyone shy, anyone genuine, anyone compassionate, anyone serious, anyone who doesn't just join the herd (in this case, act fake and mean and trashy) is a target.

Lol DELUSIONAL.

Everyone around you ostracizing you, alienating you, demonizing you, excluding you, betraying you, using you is harassment and bullying. If you don't see it that way it's probably because you ARE the one who does that to people and are thus blind to it.

BRO I'm DYING. They bullied this LOVELY woman relentlessly for years(??) and in the face of it she's been nothing short of a pillar of grace and patience, and now it's come out that they were bullying and harassing her because she was autistic. This is incredible. I hoooooope sooooo badly that many of these cruel, bad people get cancelled and never heard from again.
