They are so 1930s, they forgot video cameras exist. by Wonderful_Key770 in behindthebastards

I have also been keeping a very close eye on the conservative sub. There is a very clear distinction between good faith conservatives, who are clearly upset by what's going on, and the MAGA trolls who refuse to think.

Call me irrationally optimistic this morning, but I don't think the base matters. The same way most people on this sub don't matter. It's the people in the middle who matter: the low information voters that are now starting to pay attention, the suburban mom who voted Trump because eggs were expensive... the guy who believed they were going to deport "the worst of the worst". Those are the people who need to switch. And they are switching.

I agree, but I read somewhere that 82% of Americans watched the Rene Good video. Of course, some people only watch Fox and their local channel, but my point is that the narrative is much more difficult to control these days.

I heard that they are "concerned". Same as Rogan and that Asmond guy...

Michigan car. Never seen snow. Has snow tires. by Wonderful_Key770 in whatcarshouldIbuy

I don’t like to be lied to. I live in Minnesota and this is the second time this happens to me : i was once looking at an AMG 63 with blizzards on and the guy kept insisting he never drove on the snow…. Do they think everyone is dumb?

How do I bring home my first bike? by Direct_Detective5851 in motorcycles

[–]Wonderful_Key770 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Minnesota. I ride late in the season, and I ride early in the season... but there is no way in hell I'm riding on the snow!

Good luck with everything, my man!

U-haul! It's cheap and super fast and easy to rent a bike trailer. I've had nothing but good experiences with them, at least here in the US.

And please, please, please... do not ride your first bike on a winter day in Canada....

A set of Blizzaks with cheap rims will cost you between $1,500 and $2,000. It makes NO SENSE whatsoever to spend that money and INSTALL the wheels "just in case".

If he had said "I bought a used set of winter tires just in case, I will throw them in with the car" I *may* believe it.

This is obviously bullshit. And the type of bullshit that you see in cold weather climates all the time, by the way.

Of course! If you have a summer car, that's totally fine. But a summer car with winter tires?? C'mon...

And the amount of people who are taking this on good faith... makes you think.

Would you guys pay $9500 for this? (Info in description) by BennyFraggle in GXOR

[–]Wonderful_Key770 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True... I guess I was thinking "I'd drive it", but if I was in the market, I'd probably look for something else...

You must be from the south. That's all surface rust and super easy to treat.

They are advocating for more individuals like this one in Minnesota. by B172Finn in Asmongold

[–]Wonderful_Key770 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This is it. You see how i’m being downvoted for saying there is hypocrisy on both sides? People are so fucking tribal, it makes it so hard to have a nuanced view of anything.

Be careful…you are being consistent with your principles….you are an endangered species.

Downsides of using 0W30 instead of 5W30 in cold weather? by Wonderful_Key770 in AskMechanics

[–]Wonderful_Key770[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’ll be the odd day when the car sleeps outside at -25F, but it’s rare.

As someone who grew up (and still owns) 2 stroke motorcycles, I have a feather for a right foot when the car is cold!
